Study on a Novel Biodegradable and Antibacterial Fe-Based Alloy Prepared by Microwave Sintering

This research produced a porous Fe-8 wt.% Cu alloy by microwave sintering in order to achieve (i) an increased biodegradation rate, and (ii) an antibacterial function. The Fe-8Cu alloy had higher density, hardness and degradation rate (about 2 times higher) but smaller and fewer surface pores, compa...
