Background. Zinc alloys have advantages for use as biodegradable implantable orthopedic metal structures due to the absence of gas formation in comparison with magnesium alloys. But their mechanical properties are often has lower values. Aim. Investigation effect high-pressure torsion (HPT) on strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, antimicrobial properties, surface cell colonization and bio...

in hot dip galvanizing, several parameters such as chemical composition of coating bath, immersion time and surface roughness of specimens could affect microstructure and properties of coating. in this article, the effect of aluminum content, immersion time and surface roughness on structure and properties of alloy layers have been investigated. specimens of low carbon silicon-free steel with d...
