High performance ultrasonically processed biodegradable alloy products (2016–2019)

Abstract:
This project aims to develop new alloy processing technology for biodegradable products such as plates, microclips and wound closing devices. The project will optimise the application of external fields such as ultrasonic treatment, for property and processing improvements for the manufacture of biodegradable magnesium alloy components by understanding the role of external fields in the development of microstructure in these alloys. This approach will be underpinned by understanding and modelling the grain nucleation and formation processes occurring under the influence of external fields. This knowledge will be used to fabricate and evaluate the performance of medical devices incorporating ultrasonically processed alloy products.
