Abstract Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, has inherently poor corrosion resistance. In this study, we developed a magnesium-aluminium Mg-10.6Al-0.6Zn-0.3Mn alloy, additively manufactured by laser powder bed fusion. We reveal that alloy record low degradation rate amongst all magnesium alloys in practically relevant corrosive solutions, and it even withstands seawater corrosion. As test...

Magnesium alloys, known as a “21st-century green engineering material”, are widely used in many fields, including during the production and consumption of magnesium alloys die-casting products such AZ91D, AM50, AM60B. In addition, large amount waste is generated, which not only pollutes environment but also wastes secondary resources. Hereby, we reported vacuum gasification—directional condensa...

in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...

Magnesium (Mg) is becoming increasingly popular for orthopaedic implant materials. Its mechanical properties are closer to bone than other implant materials, allowing for more natural healing under stresses experienced during recovery. Being biodegradable, it also eliminates the requirement of further surgery to remove the hardware. However, Mg rapidly corrodes in clinically relevant aqueous en...

A superhydrophobic surface can endow metals with some intriguing characteristics such as self-cleaning behavior. In this study, a simple solution-immersion method based on the concept of predesigned corrosion is developed to enhance resistance magnesium-neodymium alloy. The Mg alloy directly soaked in potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution addition ultrasound, and layer rough but dense coating...
