Foreword: Fatigue and Corrosion Damage in Metallic Materials

Fundamental Aspects of Corrosion of Metallic Materials

Mechanical Behavior of Open Cellular Materials at Ambient and Elevated Temperatures Mechanisms of Corrosion Fatigue Damage in Implant Materials Fatigue Deformation and Damage Mechanisms in Bimetal Fasteners

The goal of the present research is to develop a better understanding of the tensile response of open-cellular aluminum 6061 T6 alloy. Both tensile and compression samples of this metallic foam were tested under constant strain rate conditions at 293, 423, and 523 K. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on individual struts to assess the modes and mechanisms associated with fracture. Theo...

Corrosion fatigue of biomedical metallic alloys: mechanisms and mitigation.

Cyclic stresses are often related to the premature mechanical failure of metallic biomaterials. The complex interaction between fatigue and corrosion in the physiological environment has been subject of many investigations. In this context, microstructure, heat treatments, plastic deformation, surface finishing and coatings have decisive influence on the mechanisms of fatigue crack nucleation a...

Fatigue-Induced Damage in Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glasses

In the present work, we investigate the effect of "fatigue" on the fatigue behavior and atomic structure of Zr-based BMGs. Fatigue experiments on the failed-by-fatigue samples indicate that the remnants generally have similar or longer fatigue life than the as-cast samples. Meanwhile, the pair-distribution-function (PDF) analysis of the as-cast and post-fatigue samples showed very small changes...
