Tarnish Resistance, Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking of Gold Alloys

Tarnishing, corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SeC) of gold alloys are related phenomena. They present problems when they occur in gold jewellery, dental gold alloys and electronic devices. They are exploited, however, in the depletion gilding and finishing of gold jewellery; and in the extraction, refining and fire assaying of gold. There is still much that is not known about these pheno...

Improving sealing, electrical contacts, and corrosion resistance in solid oxide fuel cell stacks

Solid oxide fuel cells are high temperature electrochemical devices for direct conversion of fuel and oxidant to electricity and heat. The high temperature and dual atmosphere creates challenges for the materials in solid oxide fuel cell stacks. In this thesis SOFC stack materials were studied and developed. SOFC stacks are assembled at room temperature, then heated up, conditioned and operated...

Corrosion Resistance of Dental Alloys

Metals and metallic alloys are unavoidable materials in everyday dental use for the making of fillings, cast cores and post systems, individual crowns, implantants’ suprastructures, dentures and orthodontic devices. They still belong to the vital materials in dentistry. Applied alloys in a mouth are exposed to the influence of chemical, biological, mechanical, thermal and electrical forces whic...
