A new zinc alloy, designed by Monash biomedical engineers, could solve these problems by being mechanically strong but gentle enough to degrade safely over time while supporting optimal healing. A ...

Zinc alloy buttons are made using die casting, where molten zinc is poured into detailed molds to form sturdy, high-quality buttons. This process not only provides precision but also allows for the ...

A new zinc alloy, designed by Monash biomedical engineers, could solve these problems by being mechanically strong but gentle enough to degrade safely over time while supporting optimal healing.

In alloys containing a large proportion of zinc, the surface of the metal in the crucible should be covered with a thin layer of charcoal powder. This precaution is not necessary, unless the alloy ...
