In recent years, the production volume of zinc has been increasing, and zinc attracts attention as a new biodegradable material. Zinc has been studied on degradability and toxicity, but the knowledge about mechanical properties and deformation behavior of zinc are insufficient. In this study, in order to clarify the deformation behavior of zinc, we carried out the tension and compression tests for pure zinc having different grain sizes. In addition, we estimated deformability of pure zinc through the first principles calculation. The result indicates that the dynamic recovery by dislocation climb occurred in zinc at room temperature, and it had an impact on the ductility of zinc.
