Effect of Sintering Temperature on Mechanical Properties of Mg-Zr Alloy

Abstract

Magnesium, Zirconium alloy is developed in three different sintering temperatures through powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion in this work. The application of this material is for orthopedic implants. Magnesium alloy result shows improvement in density, hardness, tensile strength and minimized porosity on increasing sintering temperature. The surface characterization of the alloy is carried out through optical microscopy. The SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analysis of fractured surface of Mg alloy shows quasi-cleavage fracture.
