Abstract

A method of preparing biodegradable Zn—Mg—Bi zinc alloy includes: melting magnesium under an inert atmosphere to obtain a magnesium melt; adding bismuth particles to the magnesium melt followed by reaction under stirring and heat preservation treatment to obtain a Mg—Bi alloy melt; allowing the Mg—Bi alloy melt to stand in a furnace; subjecting the Mg—Bi alloy melt to refining, slagging-off, casting and demoulding to obtain Mg-50 wt. % Bi alloy ingot; melting zinc to obtain a zinc melt; adding the Mg-50 wt. % Bi alloy ingot and pure magnesium or pure bismuth followed by heating to a preset temperature, stirring and heat preservation to obtain a Zn—Mg—Bi alloy melt; allowing the Zn—Mg—Bi alloy melt to stand in a furnace followed by refining, slagging-off, casting and demoulding to obtain the biodegradable Zn—Mg—Bi zinc alloy.
