Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of amorphous alloys, and particularly relates to a high-strength medical amorphous alloy, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Multi-component bulk amorphous alloys have been confirmed by the prior art to have excellent glass forming ability and mechanical properties. The development of bulk amorphous alloys (BMG) started from noble metal-based Pd and Pt, and then Mg, Zr, Ti, Ni and Ln-based amorphous alloys, and then to Fe and Cu-based amorphous alloys with cheaper raw materials. In different amorphous alloy systems, a variety of alloy compositions with different glass forming abilities can be formed, and the maximum critical thickness of each alloy composition is different. Compared with traditional crystalline alloy materials, bulk amorphous materials have more excellent mechanical properties, processing properties, resistance to corrosion of various media, magnetic properties, and are expected to be applied to a wider technical field.

[0003] Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys are the most mature amorphous system in commercial industrialization in the prior art, because they have excellent thermal stability, strong glass forming ability and wide supercooled liquid phase region, and can be prepared into high-quality bulk amorphous alloys by using not too complex equipment through a process suitable for batch production. Moreover, Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys exhibit excellent mechanical properties, and thus are increasingly applied in the fields of 3C electronics and precision structural parts.

[0004] In the prior art, there are relatively few studies on the application of amorphous alloys in medical devices, and most of the research and development is concentrated in surgical knives, such as preparing an amorphous thin film on the surface of an existing surgical knife, using an amorphous one-piece forming surgical knife, etc., but there is no successful market case. The factors to be considered for the application of Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys in the field of medical devices include: ① whether the mechanical properties of the alloy can meet the requirements of medical devices; ② whether the biocompatibility of the alloy can meet the requirements of medical devices; ③ whether the forming performance of the alloy can meet the requirements of batch production. Under the premise of ensuring the amorphous alloy forming ability, developing an amorphous alloy product that meets the above three requirements is the key technology for popularizing amorphous alloys in the field of medical devices. SUMMARY

[0005] The commonly used structural materials in existing medical devices include commonly used alloys such as stainless steel, high-carbon steel, titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, etc. The traditional steel materials such as stainless steel and high-carbon steel are needless to say, the material properties are well known in the technical field, the advantages are that the raw materials are easy to obtain and convenient to process, and the improvement can be made on the basis of existing processing technology, the disadvantages are that when applied to high-end medical devices, the composition still needs to be adjusted, and the steel material forming method is limited, and the specific strength is low, and there is no application advantage on the precision components. Although new alloys such as titanium alloy and magnesium alloy have low density and moderate strength, the forming process is complex, and the surface treatment is difficult. With the progress of medical science and technology, the requirements for medical devices are also getting higher and higher, and the precision component materials with low density, high strength and meeting the customization requirements are the development focus of future medical device materials.

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a high-strength medical amorphous alloy, which aims to solve the technical problem of the demand for high-strength precision component materials in the field of medical devices, and also provides a preparation method of the amorphous alloy and its specific application field.

It is confirmed that the corrosion resistance of the amorphous sample in Example 21 is stronger than that of the amorphous sample in Example 16 which is not surface treated after the neutral salt spray test.

[0136] Example 22

[0137] The long strip-shaped amorphous sample prepared in Example 16 is coated with a TiSiN layer on the surface by using a PVD process, and the thickness of the TiSiN layer is 8 μm.

[0138] The test results show that the mechanical properties of the amorphous sample in Example 22 have no obvious difference with those of the amorphous sample in Example 16, and the surface is gray-black without reflection. After the neutral salt spray test, it is verified that the corrosion resistance of the amorphous sample in Example 22 is better than that of the amorphous sample without surface treatment in Example 16, as in the comparative method in Example 21.

[0139] Examples 21-22 show that coating a TiN layer or a TiSiN layer on the surface of an amorphous alloy helps to improve the surface properties of the alloy product, not only obtaining a non-reflective surface, but also making the surface of the product lower and the matrix ions more difficult to diffuse and escape during use, which is very suitable as a material for medical suture needles.

[0140] Biocompatibility test:

[0141] In the present application, the composition in Example 16 is selected, and an amorphous sheet with a length of 20 mm, a width of 20 mm, and a thickness of 0.5 mm is prepared by die casting for biocompatibility test.

[0142] The test method is as follows:

[0143] Sensitization reaction: according to the method specified in GB / T 16886.10-2017 (maximum dose method);

[0144] Intracutaneous reaction: according to the test method specified in GB / T 16886.10-2017;

[0145] Skin irritation: according to the test method specified in GB / T 16886.10-2017;

[0146] Mucous membrane irritation: according to the test method specified in GB / T 16886.10-2017;

[0147] Acute systemic toxicity: according to the test method specified in GB / T 16886.11-2011.

[0148] After detection by a third-party testing institution, the following conclusions are obtained:

[0149] The skin sensitization rate is 0%;

[0150] There is no intracutaneous reaction in animals;

[0151] The animal irritation reaction type is very slight;

[0152] The oral mucous membrane irritation reaction degree is very slight;

[0153] There is no acute systemic toxicity.

[0154] From the test results, it can be seen that the amorphous alloy in the embodiment has excellent biocompatibility, and is suitable for use in the field of medical devices.

[0155] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the medical amorphous alloy in the application has high strength and excellent biocompatibility, and high specific strength, which meets the research and development trend of lightweight and miniaturization of medical devices. The medical amorphous alloy in the application has high forming ability and good forming performance, and can form various small-size precision structural parts, and the forming precision is as low as 0.01 mm. The medical amorphous alloy in the application can obtain a surface deposition layer with strong adhesion by a simple PVD process, can form a non-reflective outer surface, and meets the special application environment of medical devices.

[0156] The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application.
