Abstract: The phase selection and microstructural evolution of biodegradable biomedical Zn-5Al alloy were studied. The microstructure of as casting, after homogenization treatment and the rolled Zn-5Al alloy was characterized, respectively and the phase compositions of the Zn-5Al alloy was analyzed.Then the mechanical properties of the rolled Zn-5Al alloy were tested. The results showed that the phase compositions of the as casting Zn-5Al alloy and after homogenization treatment were mainly composed by the η-Zn phase and α-Al phase. The interlamellar spacing of the eutectic structure in the as casting Zn-5Al alloy was about 300nm.The eutectoid reaction occurred during the homogenization treatment and the α-Al phase of the Zn-5Al alloy was changed from the original strip shape to spherical eutectic structure after homogenization treatment. After rolling of 85% for a total deformation rate, the yield and tensile strength of the Zn-5Al alloy were 98MPa and 130MPa, respectively, and its fracture elongation reached 74%.
