Abstract

Magnesium (Mg) is one of the potential biomaterial for bone implants due to its biomechanical and biodegradability properties. However, its rate of deterioration is too fast for clinical use. Alloying treatment technique has been used to slow down the rate of degradation in the present study. Microstructure morphology, mechanical, tribology, and degradation behavior of Mg-x%Sn (x = 0, 1, 2, and 3 wt percent) alloys were investigated. Powder metallurgy (P/M) was used to fabricate Mg-Sn alloys, which involves adding tin to magnesium powder in various ratios. To avoid the negative effects of excessive reactivity to Mg particles, mechanical alloying was used to fabricate the alloys within high-energy planetary mill (HEPM). Sample pallets with a diameter of 12 mm were produced in hydraulic pressing machine by using produced powder mixture. A combined study is utilized for phase evolution, microstructural characterization, hardness and wear test, and corrosion tests, and this gave an effective way of observing the properties of bulk consolidated alloys. All these combined studies indicated that increase in concentration of Sn in alloy enhances the mechanical properties with decline in corrosion properties. The most optimum composition based on all results was found to be of alloy with 1wt.% Sn.
