This invention relates to a biodegradable Zn-Cu-Ca
alloy for biomedical use, its preparation method, and its applications. It pertains to the field of biomedical materials, particularly
zinc alloys. The Zn-Cu-Ca
alloy comprises Zn, Cu, and Ca, with Cu content
ranging from 0.05 to 3.0 wt%, Ca content from 0.05 to 2.0 wt%, and the remainder being Zn. This invention successfully prepares the Zn-Cu-Ca
alloy using alloy ingots and a remelting method. By rationally designing the
alloy composition, this invention significantly improves the alloy's mechanical properties and biodegradability. The addition of
copper enhances the alloy's strength, while the addition of
calcium regulates the degradation rate and improves
biocompatibility. This alloy material is suitable for the biomedical field, especially as a biodegradable
implant material, and has broad application prospects.
