Abstract

Additively manufactured(AM)biodegradable zinc(Zn)alloys constitute an important branch of orthope-dic implants because of their moderate degradation properties and bone-mimicking mechanical proper-ties.In this paper,the microstructural evolution and corrosion mechanisms of zinc-copper(Zn-Cu)alloys prepared by the laser-powder-bed-fusion(L-PBF)additive manufacturing method were investigated.Al-loying with Cu significantly increases the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of unalloyed Zn,but the UTS and ductility of unalloyed Zn and Zn-2Cu decrease with increasing laser energy density.Unalloyed Zn has a dendritic microstructure,while Zn-2Cu alloy has a peritectic microstructure.The formation of round peri-tectic grains is due to the low-temperature gradient of unalloyed Zn during the AM.The Zn-2Cu samples exhibited higher corrosion rates,addressing the problem of slow degradation of unalloyed Zn.The grain size distribution influences the corrosion behavior of the material.It enhances the corrosion rates of ma-terials with fine grains in a non-passivating environment.However,the 100%extracts of Zn-2Cu samples exhibited greater values of cellular activity compared to unalloyed Zn samples,thus confirming their bet-ter cytocompatibility.This work demonstrates the great potential to design and modulate biodegradable Zn alloys to fulfill clinical needs by using AM technology.
