Effect of Beta Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) on Properties of Mg-Zn Composites

Abstract

In this work, Mg and Zn powder were used to prepare the Mg-Zn/β-TCP composites with different β-TCP composition by using powder metallurgy technique. The composite were mixed using ball mill and compacted at 500 MPa. The composites sintered at 450 °C in tube furnace for two hours. The effects of properties on Mg-Zn with different composition of β-TCP were studied. The results on the effect of β-TCP composition were analyzed in terms of density and microstructural analysis.

“…Various biocomposites of CaPO 4 with metals and alloys have been fabricated as well [ 495 , 610 , 611 , 866 , 925 , 926 , 927 , 928 , 929 , 930 , 931 , 932 , 933 , 934 , 935 , 936 , 937 , 938 , 939 , 940 , 941 , 942 , 943 ]. For example, an HA-based biocomposite reinforced with 20 vol.% of Ti particles was fabricated by hot pressing [ 927 ].…”

“…For example, an HA-based biocomposite reinforced with 20 vol.% of Ti particles was fabricated by hot pressing [ 927 ]. Besides, biocomposites of CaPO 4 with metals might be prepared by powder metallurgy processing [ 928 , 930 , 941 , 942 ] and mechanical compaction followed by sintering [ 611 , 936 , 939 ]. Furthermore, silver nanoparticles/HA biocomposites could be synthesized through γ-irradiation reduction of silver ions incorporated into HA particles [ 610 ].…”

Calcium Orthophosphate (CaPO4) Containing Composites for Biomedical Applications: Formulations, Properties, and Applications

“…A combination of cold pressing followed by sintering has also been used [1033]. Furthermore, CaPO 4 and metal biocomposites can be prepared by a powder metallurgical process [1009,1011,1021,1022], combinations of direct ink writing with a liquid pressure infiltration [203], mechanical compaction and sintering [671,1017,1019], and upward friction stir processing [1032], as well as by additive manufacturing [204,205]. Silver ions integrated into HA particles can be reduced by γ-irradiation to create Ag nanoparticle/HA biocomposites [670].…”
