The enormous demands for metal implant have given rise to a search for cheap material with good bio-tolerability and resistance to corrosion. Although stainless steel has these properties and is widely used for this purpose, its long term application is still a concern. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on the passive layer. Herein, chemical surface treatment, including passiv...

[1] The distribution of surficial deposits in the vicinity of impact craters on Venus was studied using measurements of the polarization properties of the reflected radar wave. Subsurface scattering of an incident circularly polarized radar signal results in a linearly polarized component in the radar echo due to the differing transmission coefficients at a smooth (at wavelength scales) atmosph...

The effect of cementite morphology on the corrosion layer formation four high-strength carbon steels was studied in an aqueous solution containing CO2 and CO2/H2S. linear polarization resistance weight loss data reveal that as phase fraction is increased, rate increases environment, while no trend observed CO2/H2S environment. results indicate a porous and, non protective forms whereas A mechan...
