The influence of minor SiC on the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and dynamic precipitation behaviors of the Mg-5Zn matrix were investigated through the hot compression test. The results showed that the addition of SiC improved the DRXed ratio of Mg-5Zn matrix, but the recrystallized grains in 1 vol.% 5 μm SiC/Mg-5Zn material were mainly formed by the "bulging" nucleation of the grain boundary at a low compressive strain (~0.05, ~0.1 and ~0.35), and PDZ (particle deformation zone) around SiC had little effect on the recrystallization nucleation. However, the fine recrystallized grains appeared around the particles when the compressive strain reached ~0.7, which was attributed to the promotion effect of PDZ on recrystallization nucleation. This shows that PDZ around particles can promote DRX nucleation under large strain. Meanwhile, compared to the Mg-5Zn alloy, the volume fraction and size of the secondary phase in the SiC/Mg-5Zn material increased due to the influence of SiC on the recrystallization behavior of Mg-5Zn matrix.

Effect of thermal treatment on the bio-corrosion and mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained ZK60 magnesium alloy.

The combination of solid solution heat treatments and severe plastic deformation by high-ratio differential speed rolling (HRDSR) resulted in the formation of an ultrafine-grained microstructure with high thermal stability in a Mg-5Zn-0.5Zr (ZK60) alloy. When the precipitate particle distribution was uniform in the matrix, the internal stresses and dislocation density could be effectively removed without significant grain growth during the annealing treatment (after HRDSR), leading to enhancement of corrosion resistance.

The hydrogen evolution method and animal experiments were deployed to investigate the effect of trace impurity elements on the degradation behavior of high-strength Mg alloys of type ZX50 (Mg-5Zn-0.3Ca). It is shown that trace impurity elements increase the degradation rate, predominantly in the initial period of the tests, and also increase the material's susceptibility to localized corrosion attack.

Zn and Ca were selected as alloying elements to develop an Mg-Zn-Ca alloy system for biomedical application due to their good biocompatibility. The effects of Ca on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties as well as the biocompatibility of the as-cast Mg-Zn-Ca alloys were studied. Results indicate that the microstructure of Mg-Zn-Ca alloys typically consists of primary α-Mg matrix and Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃/Mg₂Ca intermetallic phase mainly distributed along grain boundary.
