Effect of zinc addition on the properties of magnesium alloys
Magnesium alloys are currently used in many structural applications. It is believed that magnesium and its alloys may also find applications in biomedical application. In this study, the effects of Zinc (Zn) addition on the properties of magnesium (Mg) alloys, i.e. Mg-xZn (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) we...

| description | Magnesium alloys are currently used in many structural applications. It is believed that magnesium and its alloys may also find applications in biomedical application. In this study, the effects of Zinc (Zn) addition on the properties of magnesium (Mg) alloys, i.e. Mg-xZn (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) were investigated. Optical microscopy, scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), tensile and Vickers hardness testing were used for the characterization and evaluation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys. Electrochemical corrosion measurement was also employed to determine the corrosion resistance of the alloys. The results show that magnesium alloy with 6 wt. % zinc content (denoted as Mg- 6Zn) shows good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties). |
