Description

Magnetic compatible near-alpha-Zr biomedical alloy and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal materials, relates to a zirconium alloy, and particularly relates to a magnetic-compatible near alpha-Zr biomedical alloy, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Magnetic resonance imaging MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a new medical imaging technique. The proton (1H) of hydrogen atom in the substance generates resonance with radio frequency with certain frequency under the action of an external magnetic field, after the radio frequency is cancelled, the proton generates weak radio signals in the process of returning to the initial state, the 1H of different tissues can generate different radio signals, and the technology of collecting and using the radio signals to carry out three-dimensional imaging is called magnetic resonance imaging. The higher the magnetic field strength is, the higher the resolution of MRI is, and in recent years, research on "electrical theory and key technology of advanced magnetic resonance imaging system" is one of the major projects of the department of engineering and materials, which aims to solve the problems of magnet performance degradation and the like of the MRI system under ultrahigh magnetic field and ensure the autonomous controllability of the advanced MRI technology.
Under the condition of an ultrahigh magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibility of the biomedical implant is particularly critical, and the strong magnetic field can cause the metal implant to generate three adverse effects of (1) displacement dislocation; (2) fever affects surrounding tissues; (3) artifacts are generated during imaging. Artifact area and implant and human tissue (-10 to-7X 10) -6 ) There is a relationship between the volume magnetic susceptibility differences, and the larger the magnetic susceptibility difference, the larger the artifact area. Zr (109X 10) -6 ) Has pure Ti (170 multiplied by 10) which is commonly used at present -6 )、Ti-6Al-4V(179×10 -6 ) Stainless steel (3520-6700 multiplied by 10) -6 ) And Co-Cr (960X 10) -6 ) The lower volume magnetic susceptibility of the alloy. In addition, for Zr, its phase composition is closely related to magnetic susceptibility (χ), generally speaking, χ ω <χ α <χ β . Studies have reported that β -Zr has a lower magnetic susceptibility, but the magnetic susceptibility of β -Zr is higher than α -Zr and ω -Zr, making it more artifact under MRI. OXINIUM based on thermally oxidized Zr-2.5Nb alloys has been previously Smith&Nephew is applied to orthopedic implantation, and reports that near alpha-Zr alloy is applied to MRI to reduce magnetic susceptibility are lacked in China.
