The phase constitute and surface morphology were identified and observed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and SEM. The results show that the coating is composed of flake-like CaHPO4-2H2O crystals. The corrosion resistance of the coated Mg alloy was measured by electrochemical polarization and immersion test in comparison with uncoated Mg alloy. Cytocompatibility was designed by observing the attachment, growth and proliferation of L929 cell on both coated and uncoated Mg alloy samples. The results display that the corrosion resistance of the coated Mg alloy is better than that of uncoated one. The immersion test also shows that the calcium phosphate coating can mitigate the corrosion of Mg alloy substrate, and tends to transform into hydroxyapatite (HA). Compared with uncoated Mg alloy, L929 cells exhibit good adherence, growth and proliferation characteristics on the coated Mg alloy, indicating that the cytocompatibility is significantly improved with the calcium phosphate coating.展开更多

The surface nanostructure was characterized by TEM, and the electrochemical behaviors of the samples with nanocrystalline layer and coarse grain were comparatively investigated in 0.9% NaCl and 0.2% NaF solutions, respectively. The results indicate that nanocrystallines with the size of 10-30 nm are formed within the surface layer of 30 μm in depth. The nanocrystallized surface behaves higher impedance, more positive corrosion potential and lower corrosion current density in 0.9%NaCl and 0.2%NaF solutions as compared with the coarse grain surface. The improvement of the corrosion resistance is attributed to the rapid formation of stable and dense passive film on the nanocrystallized surface of TiNbZrFe alloy.展开更多

The transformation temperatures of the alloy can be adjusted effectively by heat treatment. Dense and stable SiO2 coatings were deposited on the surface of the pre-oxidized TiNi alloy by sol?gel method. The bonding strength of films and matrix was (65.9±1.5) N. The electrochemical corrosion test shows that the TiNi alloy with SiO2 coating has excellent corrosion resistance in the Hank’s simulated body fluid. The release behaviors of Ni ion of the alloy with and without SiO2 coating implanted in the acoustic vesicle of guinea pig were studied by EDS testing, which was inhibited effectively by the dense and stable SiO2 coating on the alloy.展开更多

The microstructure of the layer was characterized by scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS).The phase constituent of these alloys was identified by X-ray diffractometry(XRD).The analysis results reveal that a zinc-based alloy layer with a thickness of 700μm can form on the surface of AZ91 alloy matrix.The layer is composed of Mg7Zn3,MgZn and a small amount of α-Mg solid solution.The results indicate that the corrosion-resistance of the specimen with a zinc-based alloy layer is much better than that of the specimen without the layer after being immersed in 5%NaCl solution for 240 h, and the layer is more protective for the AZ91 alloy.展开更多

The water to binder(W/B) ratio and the concentration of sulfate solution were taken as variable parameters. Through the experiment, visual change, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity(RDME) and the surface damage layer thickness of concrete were measured.Furthermore, SEM and thermal analysis were used to investigate the changing of microstructure and corrosion products of concrete.The test results show that the ultrasonic velocity is related to the damage layer of concrete. It approves that an increase in damage layer thickness reduces the compactness and the ultrasonic velocity. The deterioration degree of concrete could be estimated effectively by measuring the surface damage layer and the RDME of concrete. It is also found that the content of gypsum in concrete is less than that of ettringite in test, and some gypsum is checked only after a certain corrosion extent. When the concrete is with high W/B ratio or exposed to high concentration of sulfate solution, the content of ettringite first increases and then decreases with corrosion time. However, the content of gypsum increases at a steady rate. The content of corrosion products does not correspond well with the observations of RDME change, and extensive amount of corrosion products can be formed before obvious damage occurs.展开更多

Experimental results revealed that the microstructure and phase constituents of the nitrided surface alloy are highly depended on the processing condition. When C 110 steel was subjected to liquid nitriding at 430 ℃, the nitrided layer was almost composed of a thin e-Fe2-3N layer. When C 110 steel was subjected to liquid nitriding at 640 ℃, the phase composition of the nitrided layer was greatly changed. The nitrided layer depth increased significantly with increasing the treating temperature. The liquid nitriding effectively improved the surface hardness. After liquid nitriding, the absorption energy of the treated sample decreased and the tensile strength increased by Charpy V-notch (CVN) test. But the elongation of treated sample decreased. The reason is that the nitrided layer of sample is hardened and there is brittlement by diffusion of nitrogen atom. Despite of treatment temperature, the liquid nitriding can improve the corrosion. After being nitrided at 430 ℃, the nitrided layer of the C110 steel was mainly composed by e-Fe2 3N, which has excellent corrosion resistance and high microhardness, the nitrided sample has the best corrosion resistance. After nitriding temperature over 580 ℃, especially at 680 ℃, the sample's surface was covered by the thick oxide layer, which has very low hardness and corrosion resistance. So, the corrosion resistance of samples is severely compromised.展开更多

The results showed that the corrosion resistance in saline solution was the best resistance in the alloy (D) (A1-2% Cu-2% Mg-0.1% B-1.0% Ti) compared with the rest of bullion when an examination of corrosion of the alloy prepared after homogenizing. But by examining the surface roughness of the alloy ingot turned out that (D) is softer than the rest of the surface alloys and this is due to the addition of boron and titanium together increases surface smoothness in alloys because it works to reduce the grain size.展开更多

The scanning electron microscopy(SEM) measurements indicated that laser treatment on TZNT alloy generated groove morphologies with the width of^40 μm and the depth of ~10 μm on the surface. The water contact angles along the groove direction decreased by 51%compared with that of the untreated alloy. The laser treatment promoted the oxidation of metallic Ti, Zr and Nb and produced more stable oxides on surface. The corrosion potential increased by 50% and corrosion current density decreased by72% compared with that of the untreated alloy in the anodic polarization test for the alloy in Hank’s solution at 37°C. This indicated the improvement of the corrosion resistance by laser treatment. The cytotoxicity testing results showed that the laser-treated TZNT alloy performed similar MC3 T3-E1 cell viability compared with the untreated alloy. The cells displayed oriented growth along the groove direction due to the increased hydrophilicity. This novel material may be a new candidate in orthopedics and dentistry implantations fields.展开更多

The scanning electron microscopy(SEM) measurements indicated that laser treatment on TZNT alloy generated groove morphologies with the width of^40 μm and the depth of ~10 μm on the surface. The water contact angles along the groove direction decreased by 51%compared with that of the untreated alloy. The laser treatment promoted the oxidation of metallic Ti, Zr and Nb and produced more stable oxides on surface. The corrosion potential increased by 50% and corrosion current density decreased by72% compared with that of the untreated alloy in the anodic polarization test for the alloy in Hank’s solution at 37°C. This indicated the improvement of the corrosion resistance by laser treatment. The cytotoxicity testing results showed that the laser-treated TZNT alloy performed similar MC3 T3-E1 cell viability compared with the untreated alloy. The cells displayed oriented growth along the groove direction due to the increased hydrophilicity. This novel material may be a new candidate in orthopedics and dentistry implantations fields.
