Abstract

A new biodegradable Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg-(Sr, Gd) zinc alloy was designed by using Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg as the base alloy and adding microalloying elements Sr and Gd. After adding Sr and Gd, the corrosion resistance of Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg zinc alloy was improved. The comprehensive mechanical properties of composite adding Sr and Gd are better than that of adding Sr alone, but lower than that of adding Gd alone. The corrosion rate of Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg alloy decreased with Sr and Gd addition. The corrosion rate of Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg is 0.304 mm/year, while that of Zn-2Cu-0.8 Mg-0.2Gd zinc alloy is the lowest, 0.185 mm/year in electrochemical test.
