Technical Field

Background
A great deal of bone injury caused by traffic accidents, sports and the like brings huge market space and prospect for the biological implant material, and greatly promotes the development of the biological implant material. Magnesium alloys have a series of unique advantages in the field of bioimplantation: (1) the magnesium alloy has good biocompatibility, Mg is a major metal element next to Ca, Na and K in a human body, can activate various enzymes and participate in a series of metabolic processes in the human body, excess Mg in the human body can be discharged out of the human body through urine, and has a good biological safety foundation, and in addition, Mg is also an essential element for bone growth, can promote the deposition of Ca and induce the generation of new bones; (2) the magnesium alloy has good mechanical compatibility, has higher specific strength and specific stiffness, can meet the mechanical property requirement of biological implantation materials, has the elastic modulus of about 41-45GPa, is far lower than materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy and the like, is closer to the elastic modulus of human bones, can effectively relieve the stress shielding effect, and promotes the growth and healing of bones; (3) the standard electrode potential of pure Mg is only-2.37V, the electrode is extremely easy to corrode in a corrosive medium, and the electrode can be degraded in a human body after the bone repair or fixation function is completed, so that secondary operation is avoided, and the risk and burden of a patient are greatly reduced.
However, the existing biological magnesium alloy still has some obvious problems to be solved. For example, most of the existing biological magnesium alloys have second phases which belong to intermetallic compounds, are stable in chemical properties, are not easy to decompose in vivo and have potential biological safety hazards. Secondly, the biological magnesium alloy has higher requirements on the mechanical property and the corrosion resistance in the early implantation process, when bones develop and heal gradually, the biological magnesium alloy is expected to be degraded as soon as possible and discharged from organisms, but most of the existing biological magnesium alloys have uniform texture, and the mechanical property and the corrosion resistance of the biological magnesium alloy can not be changed obviously in the whole implantation process.
