This report is a critical evaluation of the use of dental amalgam with special consideration of the possibility of chronic mercury poisoning. The description of psychic and somatic symptoms associated with corrosion of amalgam might help people with similar symptoms to recognize the possible source of their problems. Medical practitioners need to recognize the characteristic manifestations of m...

• With a spectroelectrochemical flow cell the communication of crevice enables studying solution chemistry in confinement. Degradation is compared to freely-exposed conditions by dissolution profiles and surface composition. Mo forms stable passive Mo(VI) layers under open corrosion, while it remains soluble conditions. Passive film properties nickel base alloys (NBAs) have been studied extensi...

• A series of duplex fcc + hcp Co-based entropic alloys are discovered as a new category with outstanding mechanical properties. CALPHAD-based thermodynamic calculations were performed to facilitate alloy design and understand corrosion behaviors. The kinetics the electrochemical for designed in typical aggressive anion Cl - was investigated by tests. theoretical good agreement experimental obs...
