| Summary: | Magnesium and its alloys are promising candidates for degradable materials with
good biocompatibility. Magnesium has limitations such as low in mechanical
properties and high corrosion rates. Therefore, several integration methods were
developed, such as the high entropy alloy (HEA) method. Mg-Zn-Fe-Cu-Co alloys
were designed by using the method of equiatomic ratio and high entropy of mixing.
Hence, this paper studies the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion
resistance of high entropy Mg-Zn-Fe-Cu-Co alloy. Pure Magnesium (60 ?m), Zinc
(45 ?m), Fe (10 ?m), Cu (63 ?m), and Co (1 ?m) powder were mixed and milled
using a shaker mill at 700 rpm for 1800s. Tthe resulting milled powders were
compacted and sintered at 300 MPa for 180s continue to 600 MPa for 120s and
700oC with 2 hours soaking time in a tube furnace at 5 °C/min with a high purity
argon atmosphere.
Microstructural, phase and mechanical properties analyses were performed
following the standard of testing and measurement. The physical and mechanical
properties of Mg-Zn-Fe-Cu-Co were influenced by the magnesium content in the
alloys. Mg-Zn-Fe-Cu-Co alloys have a medium hardness (286.06 HV - 80.98 HV).
The densities of alloys were moderate (3.057 g.cm-3 to 1.71 g.cm-3). The coumarin
inhibitor in hanks' solution was very effective with a high inhibitor efficiency up to
10% in reducing the corrosion rate of the Mg-Zn-Fe-Cu-Co alloy. Small holes and
micro-cracks are present due to galvanic micro-corrosion between the intermetallic
phase and the matrix. This study concludes that high entropy is a promising method
for processing Mg elements. The 20Mg-20Zn-20Fe-20Cu-20Co alloy has ideal
mechanical properties and corrosion resistance meets the minimum requirements
of high entropy alloys and is considered a potential candidate for ureteral implant
applications. |
