Background. Zinc alloys have advantages for use as biodegradable implantable orthopedic metal structures due to the absence of gas formation in comparison with magnesium alloys. But their mechanical properties are often has lower values. Aim. Investigation effect high-pressure torsion (HPT) on strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, antimicrobial properties, surface cell colonization and bio...

Magnesium alloys are a strong candidate for various applications in automobile and aerospace industries due to their low density specific strength. Micro-alloying magnesium with zinc, yttrium, cerium enhances mechanical properties of through grain refinement precipitation hardening. In this work, critical review magnesium-based binary systems including Mg-Zn, Mg-Y, Mg-Ce, Zn-Y, Zn-Ce is present...

Generated by zinc hydrometallurgical production and containing several toxic species, jarosite has been little used or beneficiated to date. Utilization of can save mining resources producing valuable products, reduce potential hazards from disposal. To avoid high energy consumption as in the roasting steps current process, hydrometallurgy various an original process aimed at zinc-iron alloys i...

Closeness of electrochemical properties uranium and zirconium makes separation these metals in pyroelectrochemical reprocessing spent nuclear fuels a challenging task. Varying electrode material can change metals’ deposition potentials. The study was aimed at assessing the effect cathode on potentials from 3LiCl–2KCl based melts. Solid (tungsten) liquid (gallium, zinc, Ga–Zn, Ga–Sn Ga–In alloy)...
