The present disclosure relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, more particularly to a degradable magnesium alloy in-situ composite anastomotic staple and a preparation method thereof. The anastomotic staple, with a composite structure, is mainly composed of Mg—Zn—Nd magnesium alloy with high strength and good plasticity (internal part), and corrosion-resistant MgF.sub.2 (external part), and is formed by in-situ synthesis of MgF.sub.2 with the outer layer of Mg—Zn—Nd magnesium alloy anastomotic staple. The magnesium alloy composite anastomotic staple provided by the present disclosure has good plastic deformation ability and mechanical strength, a low degradation rate, and a high biosafety level, which can meet the in-vivo implantation requirements. In addition, it can gradually degrade in vivo after achieving the medical effects in vivo, avoiding a second operation for removal.

A corrodible downhole article includes a magnesium alloy, including: a strengthening metallic element comprising at least one of Al, Zn, Mn, Cu and Ag and at least one corrosion promoting element in an amount of 0.01-10 wt % in total. The alloy has a corrosion rate of at least at least 75 mg/cm.sup.2/day in 15% KC1 at 93° C. and a 0.2% proof strength of at least 100MPa when tested using standard tensile test method ASTM B557-10. In particular, the magnesium alloy includes 5-10 wt % Al, and at least one of Zn and Mn in a total amount ranging from 0 to 1.0 wt %.

Provided is a frac plug or the like capable of being inserted into a borehole to seal the borehole with high strength, and then quickly disassembled and removed, thereby efficiently producing petroleum. A frac plug according to the present embodiment has a member made of a magnesium (Mg) alloy. The member has a multi-phase structure including a first phase, which is a matrix phase, and a second phase present in the first phase. In the multi-phase structure, the second phase is distributed in a substantially striped pattern in the first phase in a first cross section perpendicular to a second direction of the frac plug, and distributed in a substantially mesh-like pattern in the first phase in a second cross section perpendicular to a first direction of the frac plug.

A castable, moldable, or extrudable magnesium-based alloy that includes one or more insoluble additives. The insoluble additives can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of the structure, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The final structure can be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final structure as compared to the non-enhanced structure. The magnesium-based composite has improved thermal and mechanical properties by the modification of grain boundary properties through the addition of insoluble nanoparticles to the magnesium alloys. The magnesium-based composite can have a thermal conductivity that is greater than 180 W/m-K, and/or ductility exceeding 15-20% elongation to failure.
