Event Abstract Back to Event Powder metallurgical processing of iron for biodegradable medical implants: Physical and mechanical Vinicius Martins1, 2, André C. Tavares1, 2, Lirio Schaeffer2 and Diego Wermuth2 1 Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense - IFSul, Mecânica, Brazil 2 Universidade federal do Rio grande do Sul - UFRGS, Metalurgica, Brazil During the last two decades, significant advances have been made in the development of biocompatible and biodegradable materials for medical applications. The powders were analyzed and made test pieces were after analyzed its physical properties. It built up an array to conventional powder metallurgy, compliance with the process parameters as: compression pressure, atmosphere and time sintering. The production by powder metallurgy given to components unique features, as controlled porosity, which differs from Traditional manufacturing techniques. The parameters for conventional powder-metallurgical and Powder injection moulding production of iron for biodegradable medical implants were determined. With the application of these parameters an part with sufficient granulometry and green density, porosity after sintering, hardness, microhardness, tensile test and metallography. The comparison of samples with different sintering temperatures revealed that a slight variation of the sintering temperature can have a considerable effect on the physical and mechanical properties of iron for biodegradable medical implants.
