Metallurgical aspects of corrosion

Metallurgical Aspects in Cold Fusion Experiments

Deuterium loading of palladium cathodes in Pons-Fleischmann type electrolytic cells has been observed to result in generation of excess heat on several occasions. Metallurgical examination of some of the electrodes showed extensive damage associated with deuterium loading. Surfaces have been found to be covered with large number of impurities. Initiation and sustaining these heat bursts, monito...

Fundamental Aspects of Corrosion of Metallic Materials

Biofouling of Titanium – Biomineralization and Corrosion Aspects

Manganese oxidizing bacteria colonizing the titanium surfaces exposed to seawater were characterized by periodically retrieving the coupons over a period of two years. About 20% of the initial colonizers were capable of oxidizing manganese, and the dominant manganese oxidizing bacteria were those belonging to Gram negative Pseudomonas spp. Gram positive, Bacillus spp, were also observed, though...
