Wear and Corrosion Behavior in Different Materials

Nanostructure of Materials and Corrosion Resistance

The application of nanotechnology in the field of corrosion protection of metals and alloys attracts the attention of researchers. Many of these applications require good understanding of the corrosion behavior of the materials as a function of microstructure. Significant prog‐ ress has been made in various aspects of synthesis of nano-scale materials. In addition, nanostructures promote select...

Microbially Influenced Corrosion of Industrial Materials

This communication outlines the principles of application of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) as a tool for studying physico-chemical and biological phenomena and discusses the potential use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), a form of SPM, for investigation of bacterial biofilms formed on metal surfaces and for studying corrosion of these surfaces in the presence of such biofilms. AFM images sho...

Fundamental Aspects of Corrosion of Metallic Materials

Importance of Corrosion Resistance in Dental Materials

For selecting an alloy or material to be used for implant procedure, it is necessary to remember that, there is a number of factors like corrosion behavior, mechanical properties, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, and also the availability and cost, while the aesthetic measures needed are in a second priority. The most important property is corrosion behavior as it is responsible for the conti...
