Abstract
Bone injuries can be fixed and stabilized using degradable implants from magnesium - calcium alloys. Mg and Ca being natural elements in human body, they are easiest to be absorbed without causing toxicity problems. The aim of the paper is to present the effect of Gd and Mn addition in 0.5wt.% in order to improve elastic properties of Mg-Ca0.5-[E]x (E = Mn or Gd) and possibility to be used as biodegradable materials. The addition of Mn / Gd in the binary MgCa alloy modify the structural properties of the alloy (analyzed as elastic properties, respectively crystallographic structure). The measurements and the results calculus were carried out using the ultrasound methods and the Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy.
