Abstract: Biodegradable Zn-Cu alloys were prepared by powder metallurgy method with Zn and Cu powder as initial materials. The influence of Cu contents on the microstructure, phase composition, compressive strength, corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of biodegradable Zn-Cu alloys were studied. The results show that Zn-Cu alloys have higher sintering density when adding Cu elements. The Zn-xCu alloys are composed of η phase with the Cu content of 0.5%—2.5%, but the Zn-3.0Cu alloys are composed of η and ε phases with the Cu content of 3.0%. The compressive strength of sintered Zn-xCu alloys (x=0%-3%) increases form 93.6 MPa to 170.3 MPa. The self-corrosion potentials of the Zn-2.5Cu alloys comes to the maximum of -1.048 5 V, but the passivation current density and stable corrosion rate come to the minmum of 4.630 4×10-5 A·cm-2 and 0.076 mm/year, respectively. Compared with pure Zn samples, the inhibition zone size of Zn-2.5Cu sample comes to the maximum of (29.8±0.3) mm and the absorption value of Zn-2.5Cu is the lowest of Abs=0.20 in the Staphylococcus aureus culture medium, which shows the antimicrobial effect of Zn-2.5Cu alloy to S. aureus is better.
