| Popis: | In this study, five MgZnCa alloys with low alloy content and high biocorrosion resistance were investigated during thermomechanical processing. As documented by microhardness and tensile tests, high pressure torsion (HPT)-processing and subsequent heat treatments led to strength increases of up to 250% as much as about 1/3 of this increase was due to the heat treatment. Microstructural analyses by electron microscopy revealed a significant density of precipitates, but estimates of the Orowan strength exhibited values much smaller than the strength increases observed. Calculations using Kirchner&rsquo s model of vacancy hardening, however, showed that vacancy concentrations of 10&minus ⁵ could have accounted for the extensive hardening observed, at least when they formed vacancy agglomerates with sizes around 50‒100 nm. While such an effect has been suggested for a selected Mg-alloy already in a previous paper of the authors, in this study the effect was substantiated by combined quantitative evaluations from differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray line profile analysis. Those exhibited vacancy concentrations of up to about 10&minus 3 with a marked percentage being part of vacancy agglomerates, which has been confirmed by evaluations of defect specific activation migration enthalpies. The variations of Young&rsquo s modulus during HPT-processing and during the subsequent thermal treatments were small. Additionally, the corrosion rate did not markedly change compared to that of the homogenized state. |
