Magnesium and bioglass are a good combination to create biocompatible and bioactive materials. Magnesium-bioglass composites can be manufactured by casting or sintering. This work was aimed to manufacture the composite Mg-3wt.%Zn filled with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30wt.% bioglass (45S5) by powder metallurgy. Two sintering temperatures of 450 °C and 550 °C were used to sinter the samples. The sintered samples were characterized using optical micrograph and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Optical micrograph shows that increasing of bioglass content lead to smaller grain size. XRD analysis shows no new crystalline compound detected on XRD pattern for Mg-3wt%Zn sintered at 450 °C ad 550 °C. |
