Zinc　(Zn)　is　a　potential　bioresorbable　metal　material　(BMM)　with　a　degradation　rate　lower　than　magnesium　and　higher　than　iron.　However,　clinical　applications　of　pure　Zn　are　limited　due　to　its　poor　mechanical　properties　and　localized　degrading　tendency.　Over-coming　these　drawbacks　is　made　possible　by　the　process　of　alloying.　The　Zn-0.6Li-0.5Mg　alloy　samples　were　prepared　using　the　laser　powder　bed　fusion　(LPBF)　process　in　this　work.　The　innovative　technique　combining　fast　solidification　produced　by　LPBF　and　alloying　with　Li　and　Mg　was　presented　to　enhance　the　mechanical　properties　of　Zn　in　this　work.　The　relative　density,　microstructure,　mechanical　properties,　and　corrosion　resistance　of　LPBF-built　Zn-0.6Li-0.5Mg　alloy　were　investigated.　According　to　the　results,　the　LPBF　fabricated　Zn-0.6Li-0.5Mg　alloy　with　fine　equiaxed　a-Zn　grains　were　uniformly　distributed　with　precipitated　Mg2Zn11　and　LiZn4　at　grain　boundaries.　More　interestingly,　the　average　grain　size　of　a-Zn　was　recorded　at　7.2　+/-　3.2　mm　with　Li　and　Mg.　Due　to　the　rapid　solidification　process,　Mg　dissolved　primarily　in　the　Zn　matrix　and　developed　a　supersaturated　solid　solution.　As　a　result,　with　the　addition　of　Li　and　Mg,　the　mechanical　properties　of　the　Zn　matrix　increased　considerably.　When　combined,　Zn-0.6Li-0.5Mg　alloy　can　be　an　attractive　candidate　for　bioresorbable　medical　implants　in　orthopedic　applications.(c)　2023　The　Authors.　Published　by　Elsevier　B.V.　This　is　an　open　access　article　under　the　CC　BY-NC-ND　license　(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
