In this study, an attempt was made to design and manufacture a Mg-based biomedical implant plate with controlled porosity and micro-textured surface. AZ91D Mg powders of different size distribution were compacted under compaction pressures of 150, 200 and 250 MPa and compaction temperature of 150°C. Compacted green plates were then sintered under temperatures of 380, 400 and 420°C, and sintering times of 60, 180 and 300 min. The main interest was to determine an optimal window of pressure, temperature and time to produce Mg implant plates with necessary levels of porosity and strength for eventual biocompatibility and biodegradability tests. This investigation results proved that compaction load had a significant effect on the bending strength and corrosion resistance.
