A bioerodible endoprosthesis includes a bioerodible magnesium alloy including between 50 weight percent and 92 weight percent magnesium, at least 5.5 weight percent in sum of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ho, Er, Lu, Tb and Tm, and at least 2.0 weight percent in sum of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Y, Nd and Gd. The bioerodible magnesium alloy has a microstructure including equiaxed Mg-rich solid solution-phase grains having an average grain diameter of less than or equal to 15 microns and second-phase precipitates and/or ceramic nanoparticles in grain boundaries between the equiaxed Mg-rich solid solution-phase grains. The secondary-phase precipitates or ceramic nanoparticles have an average longest dimension of 2.0 micron or less. The microstructure can be produced by one or more equal-channel high-strain processes. |
