Magnesium, zinc, or iron alloys without toxic elements are attractive as construction materials for biodegradable implants. The synergistic effects of mechanical stress and corrosive human body fluid can lead to sudden and catastrophic fractures of bioimplants, such as stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue. However, there has been limited investigation into SCC and CF of zinc-based implants. This article provides an overview of the challenges, research needs, and future directions in understanding SCC and CF of zinc alloys in human body fluid.
Alloys of magnesium, zinc or iron that do not contain toxic elements are attractive as construction material for biodegradable implants, i.e., the type of implants that harmlessly dissolve away within the human body after they have completed their intended task. The synergistic influence of mechanical stress and corrosive human body fluid can cause sudden and catastrophic fracture of bioimplants due to phenomena such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion fatigue (CF). To date, SCC and CF of implants based on Zn have scarcely been investigated. This article is an overview of the challenges, research needs and way forward in understanding human body-fluid-assisted fractures (i.e., SCC and CF) of Zn alloys in human body fluid.
