A microalloyed magnesium material for absorption in the body of a human or animal. The microalloyed magnesium material consists of: 0.85 to 1.4 percent by weight of zinc (Zn), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of calcium (Ca), 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of manganese (Mn) with the remainder being magnesium (Mg) and inevitable impurities.

High-strength and bio-absorbable magnesium alloys

A method of forming a wrought material having a refined grain structure is provided. The method comprises providing a metal alloy material having a depressed solidus temperature and a low temperature eutectic phase transformation. The metal alloy material is molded and rapidly solidified to form a fine grain precursor that has fine grains surrounded by a eutectic phase with fine dendritic arm spacing. The fine grain precursor is plastic deformed at a high strain rate to cause recrystallization without substantial shear banding to form a fine grain structural wrought form. The wrought form is then thermally treated to precipitate the eutectic phase into nanometer sized dispersoids within the fine grains and grain boundaries and to define a thermally treated fine grain structure wrought form having grains finer than the fine grains and the fine dendritic arm spacing of the fine grain precursor.

An alloy feedstock for semi-solid metal injection molding. The alloy feedstock is an alloy material in particulate form and has a heterogeneous structure, a temperature range at 20% of the height of the peak of the main melting reaction greater than 40&deg; C., and having a ratio of the height of the peak of the eutectic reaction to the height of the main melting reaction of less than 0.5.
