It is recyclable and one of the most abundant metal. Lately, it has gained attention for its biocompatibility, and also its biodegradable properties depending on the alloying elements. They can be used as a biomaterial in various applications from heart stents to implant screws and fixtures. In this work, amorphous magnesium alloys have been processed, based on its glass forming ability, by various techniques in order to obtain its amorphous state, and the microstructure are characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Their mechanical properties are also presented. High temperature tensile tests show similar strength to room temperature strength, while the total failure strain is significantly increased from around 0.5% to 10%. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications. | Source Title: | Materials Science Forum | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/73779 | ISBN: | 9783037852224 | ISSN: | 02555476 | DOI: | 10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.695.186 |
