Effects of deformation twinning on the mechanical properties of biodegradable Zn-Mg alloys

To satisfy the property requirements for biodegradable medical implants, Zn alloyed with low levels of Mg (≤0.8 wt%) has attracted increased research interest. In the present study, deformation twinning was observed in tensile tests and twinning appears to have an adverse impact on ductility. The pr...
