Ultrafine‐grained Zn‐0.45Li alloy with enhanced mechanical property, degradation behavior and cytocompatibility prepared by hot extrusion and multi‐pass drawing

Ultrafine‐grained Zn‐0.45Li alloys with high strength and ductility were fabricated by hot extrusion and multi‐pass drawing. Zn‐0.45Li alloys with enhancements in both strength and elongation have a corrosion rate and cytocompatibility similar to the values reported for biomedical implants.
