Corrosion Fatigue Testing of Magnesium-Alloy Implants
- Developed a novel experimental setup design and test methodology to evaluate the corrosion fatigue strength of magnesium alloy wire-based implants for the human body.
- Designed and manufactured 3D-printed components to secure implants to stress testing machinery to conduct tension, compression, and three-point bending tests. Resin-based parts ensure minimal impact on stress-strain results due to resin’s high stiffness, and prevent galvanic corrosion effects on the wire from metal components.
- Used epoxy and fasteners to secure samples in a high-temperature fluid environment. Created and implemented fatigue test profiles using TestResources Newton machine control platform.
