Abstract
ZE41 magnesium alloy has been processed by friction stir processing (FSP) with an aim to investigate the role of microstructure on the degradation behavior and mechanical response targeted for temporary orthopedic implant applications. Grain size reduction was achieved in the ZE41 Mg alloy from 107 ± 6.7 µm to 3.5 ± 1.5 µm after FSP. Increased hardness up to 30% was measured in the stir zone of FSPed sample. From the immersion studies done in simulated body fluids (SBFs) for 72 h, decreased weight loss was measured for the FSPed ZE41 compared with unprocessed alloy due to deposition of more Ca/P mineral phase. From the tensile tests, higher ultimate tensile strength was measured for FSPed ZE41 alloy compared with unprocessed alloy. Furthermore, the tensile specimens were exposed to corroding medium SBF for 72 h and then tensile tests were carried out. Result demonstrated the combined effect of grain refinement, decreased intermetallic phase and formation of supersaturated grains on sustaining the improved mechanical properties after degradation which demonstrated the promising role of modified microstructure by FSP on enhancing the strength of ZE41 Mg alloy in the presence of simulated physiological environment.
