Effect of Silicon Content on the Corrosion Resistance and Radiation-Induced Embrittlement of Materials for Advanced Heavy Liquid Metal Nuclear Systems: Quarterly Progress Report (November 2005 â•fi January 2006)

Characterization and Corrosion Behavior of Hydroxyapatite- Coated Titanium Substrates Prepared Through Laser Induced Liquid Deposition Technique

Titanium and titanium alloys are often used in orthopedic surgery and dentistry because of their especial characteristics such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, their bio- inertness is the most serious drawback for biomedical applications. Therefore, a bioactive coating like hydroxyapatite (HA) is coated on their surface. In this regard, in the prese...

EFFECT OF ANODIC OXIDATION ON THE CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF NICKEL-TITANIUM SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS IN SIMULATED BODY FLUIDS (SBF)

The effect of anodic oxidation of a NiTi shape memory alloy in sulfuric acid electrolyte on its surface characteristics was studied. Surface roughness was measured by roughness tester. Surface morphology was studied using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion behavior was specified by recording Potentiodynamic polarization cur...

Investigation of HF/H2O2 Concentration Effect on Structural and Antireflection Properties of Porous Silicon Prepared by Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching Process for Photovoltaic Applications

Porous silicon was successfully prepared using metal-assisted chemical etching method. The Effect of HF/H2O2 concentration in etching solution as an affecting parameter on the prepared porosity type and size was investigated. Field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed that all etched samples had porous structure and the sample which was immersed into HF/H2O2 withmolar ratio of 7/3.53...

The Effect of Carbon Nanoparticles and Calcined Alumina on Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Resistance Behavior of the Magnesia Carbon Refractories

Nowadays, magnesia carbon refractories are very important for the iron and steel industries. It is due to their unique properties, such as low wet ability with melt iron and steel. Therefore, it is important to extend the life of the refractory. In this research, the effect of calcined alumina and nano carbon on mechanical strength and corrosion resistance against slag in magnesia carbon refrac...
