Abstract

Abstract

Iron-based biodegradable metal material is one of the most potential materials to replace permanent vascular stents. The slow degradation rate is the main problem hindering its development. Many researchers optimized its biocompatibility, corrosion and degradation behaviors, mechanical properties and magnetic properties by adjusting its microstructure, surface treatment, alloying, and "composite" material design, aiming for the ideal iron-based biodegradable stent materials. Although the pure iron compatibility can be ensured by microstructure adjustment, its degradability improvement is limited. While, it is hard to optimize the corrosion resistance properties of pure iron matrix, despite the fact that the corrosion rate of the close-to-surface regions can be enhanced by specific surface treatments. Among these ways, the comprehensive properties of materials were optimized via "composite" materials designed by alloying. However, a great improvement is still required for the alloying materials to satisfy the properties of ideal stents. This work summarized the researches of iron-based biodegradable stent materials from the above aspects and suggestions on the future research directions were also proposed.
- iron-based alloys,
- vascular stent,
- degradation properties,
- biocompatibility
