magnesium alloys as biodegradable materials can be used in body as an implant materials but since they have poor corrosion resistance, it is required to decrease their corrosion rate by biocompatible coatings. in this study, hydroxyapatite (ha) coatings in the presence of an intermediate layer of zrn as a biocompatible material, deposited on az91 magnesium alloy by ion beam sputtering method at...

as an alternative to chromate conversion coatings, rare-earth coatings especially cerium, because of the low toxicity, have attracted considerable attention. using dip immersion method, cerium-based conversion coating was deposited on aluminum 2024. corrosion resistance was studied in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and surface ...

the 17-4ph alloy is a martensitic stainless steel with 3–5 wt% cu, strengthened by the precipitation hardening. due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and ease of heat treatment, this alloy has unique applications in nuclear power plants and marine constructions. in this paper, the influence of ageing heat treatment, solution annealing followed by ageing at 480, 550 and 62...

The effects of seven macrocyclic compounds comprising four phthalocyanines (Pcs) namely 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octabutoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc1), 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(octyloxy)-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc2), 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc3) and 29H,31H-phthalocyanine (Pc4), and three naphthalocyanines namely 5,9,14,18,23,27,32,36-octabutoxy-2,3-naphthalocyanine...

Susceptibility of mild steel to corrosion attack has restricted its industrial applications, despite its numerous advantageous characteristics. Comparison of the inhibitive tendency of a mixture of zinc gluconate (ZG) and ferrous gluconate (FG) on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in acid and saline media was investigated using electrochemical and weight loss techniques. The FG:ZG ratio was ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxicity in human gingival fibroblast by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and corrosion behavior by potentiodynamic polarization technique of commercially pure titanium (Ti 12) and its alloy Ti-6Al-4V (Ti 31). MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present in vitro study, cytotoxicity of Ti 12 and Ti 31 in ...

Laser surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V with an existing calcium phosphate coating has been conducted to enhance the surface properties. The electrochemical and mechanical behaviors of calcium phosphate deposited on a Ti-6Al-4V surface and remelted using a Nd:YAG laser at varying laser power densities (25-50 W/mm(2)) have been studied and the results are presented. The electrochemical propertie...
