The invention discloses a medical degradable Zn-Cu-X 
alloy material and a preparation method thereof. The 
alloy material includes the following components in percentage by weight: 1-10% of Cu, 0-4% of X and the balance Zn, wherein the element X is one of Mg, Ca, Sr, Si, Fe, Mn, Ag, Y, Nd, Gd, Er, Ho and Dy or is a mixture of more of Mg, Ca, Sr, Si, Fe, Mn, Ag, Y, Nd, Gd, Er, Ho and Dy. The invention further relates to the preparation method of the 
alloy material. The alloy material provided by the invention is a multi-element degradable Zn-based alloy material composed of the human 
nutrient elements Zn, Cu and X, which completely have 
biosecurity, has favorable 
biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and an adjustable and controllable 
corrosion rate, and has a favorable application prospect in the field of medical degradable inner implantation material.
