| Abstract Scope |
This work presents recent advances in improving mechanical performance of bioresorbable Zn alloys. Previous studies revealed that severe plastic deformation and grain refinement alone are insufficient to achieve the desired strength–ductility balance, due to dominant grain boundary sliding and limited microstructural stability.
Current efforts focus on rapid solidification followed by hot extrusion to produce ultrafine-grained Zn–Li–Mn–Mg–Cu alloys with thermally stable microstructure and uniformly distributed intermetallic phases. This approach promotes a shift toward dislocation-mediated deformation and improved structural integrity.
The ongoing stage of research involves six-, seven-, and eight-component Zn alloys, developed to explore the synergistic effects of complex alloying. A comprehensive, advanced characterization is being carried out to correlate processing routes with phase evolution, mechanical behavior, and thermal stability. These findings aim to support the development of next-generation bioresorbable Zn-based materials. |
