Designing the new microstructure is an effective way to accelerate the biomedical application of magnesium (Mg) alloys. In this study, a novel Mg-8Er-1Zn alloy with profuse nano-spaced basal plane stacking faults (SFs) was prepared by combined processes of direct-chill semi-continuous casting, heat-treatment and hot-extrusion. The formation of SFs made the alloy possess outstanding comprehensiv...

Ti-6Al-4V alloy attracting attention as a biomaterial features excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and super plasticity, so enables the forming of denture bases of complicated shapes. However, this alloy contains aluminum and vanadium liable to do serious harm to human bodies [1,2], so actual use will require prevention of direct contact with biological tissues. In our pre...

CHARACTERIZATION AND CORROSION OF BCC-TANTALUM COATING DEPOSITED ON ALUMINUM AND STEEL SUBSTRATE BY DC MAGNETRON SPUTTERING by Chirag Joshi Tantalum is one of the most versatile highly refractory corrosion-resistant metals. Tantalum coating can be used as an effective corrosion barrier if it is continuous, free from defects and it adheres well to the substrate. A DC magnetron sputtering techniq...

Magnesium and its alloys--a new class of degradable metallic biomaterials-are being increasingly investigated as a promising alternative for medical implant and device applications due to their advantageous mechanical and biological properties. However, the high corrosion rate in physiological environments prevents the clinical application of Mg-based materials. Therefore, the objective of this...

The results show that quality is improved ultrasonic power, uniform, smooth compact. XRD FTIR analysis main obtained assisted hydroxyapatite. treatmen...

Abstract Materials such as biocompatible metals, ceramics, composites, and polymers are used in the fabrication of biomedical implants which human body especially for replacement hard tissues. However, they degrade with time since subjected to different mechanical conditions long-term exposure fluids corrosion. Therefore, curb these limitations, surface properties usually coated thin metallic n...

Magnesium is very light metal which possesses many useful properties, such as a high strength to weight ratio and good electrical thermal conductivity. its alloys can be used in implant surgery biodegradable materials. Taking into account the rapid degradation process of Mg chloride-containing solutions complex composition human body media, it worthwhile study mechanism kinetics alloy corrosion...

This study is focused on the use of radio frequency magnetron sputtering to modify the surface of porous Ti6Al4V alloy fabricated via additive manufacturing technology. The hydroxyapatite (HA) coated porous Ti6Al4V alloy was studied in respect with its chemical and phase composition, surface morphology, water contact angle and hysteresis, and surface free energy. Thin nanocrystalline HA film wa...

Corrosion protection of metals and alloys is a prime activity of technical, economic, environmental, and aesthetical significance. The use of inhibitors is one of the best choice of combating metals and alloys against detoriation against environmental impact. The toxicity of organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors to the environment has provoked the search for ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor...
