Hydroxyapatite-containing PEO-coating design for biodegradable Mg-0.8Ca alloy: Formation and corrosion behaviour

In this study, the biocompatible protective coating was formed using plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) on bioresorbable Mg-0.8Ca alloy. The composition of the formed coating was studied using XRD, SEM-EDX analysis, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The uniform distribution of hydroxyapatite over the thickness of protective PEO-layer was established. Using traditional(EIS, PDP, OCP) and local scanning electrochemical methods(SVET, SIET with H^(+)-selective microelectrode), the level of protective properties of PEO-layer in a biological environment(mammalian cell culture medium, MEM) was determined. It was established that modification of Mg-0.8Ca alloy surface by PEO contributes to a significant increase in the corrosion resistance of the surface layer, making it possible to control the process of material‘s biodegradation. The maximum local electrochemical activity was recorded after 72 h of testing, while for the uncoated sample,intense corrosion degradation was recorded in the first 12 min of exposure to the cell culture medium. Formation of the PEO-coating results in a twofold decrease in the corrosion current density(2.8·10^(-6)A cm^(-2)) and an increase in the impedance modulus measured at a low frequency(1.7·10^(4)Ω cm^(2)) in comparison with the uncoated material(9.5·10^(-6)A cm^(-2);8.1·10^(3)Ω cm^(2)). The mechanism of material bioresorption was established and a model for biodegradation process of Mg-0.8Ca alloy with hydroxyapatite-containing PEO-coating in MEM was proposed. Analysis of these results and comparing with others obtained by various scientific groups indicate the prospects for application of biocompatible PEO-coating on Mg-Ca alloy in implant surgery.

Introducing MagBERT:A language model for magnesium textual data mining and analysis

Magnesium(Mg)based materials hold immense potential for various applications due to their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio.However,to fully harness the potential of Mg alloys,structured analytics are essential to gain valuable insights from centuries of accumulated knowledge.Efficient information extraction from the vast corpus of scientific literature is crucial for this purpose.In this work,we introduce MagBERT,a BERT-based language model specifically trained for Mg-based materials.Utilizing a dataset of approximately 370,000 abstracts focused on Mg and its alloys,MagBERT is designed to understand the intricate details and specialized terminology of this domain.Through rigorous evaluation,we demonstrate the effectiveness of MagBERT for information extraction using a fine-tuned named entity recognition(NER)model,named MagNER.This NER model can extract mechanical,microstructural,and processing properties related to Mg alloys.For instance,we have created an Mg alloy dataset that includes properties such as ductility,yield strength,and ultimate tensile strength(UTS),along with standard alloy names.The introduction of MagBERT is a novel advancement in the development of Mg-specific language models,marking a significant milestone in the discovery of Mg alloys and textual information extraction.By making the pre-trained weights of MagBERT publicly accessible,we aim to accelerate research and innovation in the field of Mg-based materials through efficient information extraction and knowledge discovery.

近年来,材料基因组计划(Material genome initiative,MGI)已经成为全球热点。随着材料科学的不断发展,材料文献中包含的海量信息成为研究人员关注的焦点,如何获取大量有效的材料数据是现阶段的主要挑战。本文采用自然语言处理(Natural language processing,NLP)技术从铝硅合金材料文献中获取数据。命名实体识别(Named entity recognition,NER)和关系抽取(Relation extraction,RE)是NLP的两个子任务,可以高效地从文本中提取单词信息及其之间的关系。铝硅合金文献中存在多种命名实体及多种关系,本文从材料科学文献中选择11种实体类型和13种关系类型,手动标注构建了铝硅合金实体关系数据集,将命名实体识别与关系抽取进行联合学习,即对实体识别和关系抽取进行统一建模。此外,针对基础模型的编码层存在捕捉文本语义信息不充分问题,通过改进模型的编码层,将基础模型的BiLSTM层与空洞卷积模型结合,组成了新的编码器,避免了BiLSTM处理文本信息丢失的问题,最终使铝硅合金实体关系联合抽取模型能够更好地捕捉文本中句子的语义单元信息。

The detailed corrosion performance of bioresorbable Mg-0.8Ca alloy in physiological solutions

The electrochemical behaviour of biodegradable magnesium alloy Mg-0.8Ca was evaluated in a mammalian cell culture medium(MEM)and Na Cl solutions(0.9 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%) using traditional(EIS, PDP, OCP) and local scanning electrochemical(SVET, SIET with p H-selective microelectrode) methods at the micro-and meso-level. Corrosion rates of samples in two different media were determined using weight loss tests. The influence of testing media components, alloy composition and microstructure on the material’s degradation process was determined.The SVET/SIET test parameters were optimized for in vitro investigation of the bioresorbable material surface. The mechanism of the alloy’s bioresorption was suggested. The effect of microsized phases on the corrosion behaviour of the alloy was proved using complementary in situ monitoring and SKPFM measurements. The rapid degradation rate of the alloy is related to the presence of local microgalvanic cells formed by cathodic α-magnesium matrix and anodic Mg_(2)Ca phase. The highest corrosion activity was revealed in the first 12 min of sample exposure to MEM, followed by stabilization of corrosion process due to the material’s passivation. Using SEM-EDX analysis, micro-Raman spectroscopy and XPS analysis the composition of the corrosion products was determined. Degradation in MEM proceeds with a formation of magnesium-and-carbonate substituted hydroxyapatite-containing film on the sample’s surface. The low possibility of application of Mg-0.8Ca alloy without coating protection in implant surgery was highlighted.

Separation of primary solid phases from Al-Si alloy melts

The iron-rich solids formed during solidification of Al-Si alloys which are known to be detrimental to the mechanical,physical and chemical properties of the alloys should be removed.On the other hand,Al-Si hypereutectic alloys are used to extract the pure primary silicon which is suitable for photovoltaic cells in the solvent refining process.One of the important issues in iron removal and in solvent refining is the effective separation of the crystallized solids from the Al-Si alloy melts.This paper describes the separation methods of the primary solids from Al-Si alloy melts such as sedimentation,draining,filtration,electromagnetic separation and centrifugal separation,focused on the iron removal and on the separation of silicon in the solvent refining process.

Electrolytic production of Cu-Ni alloys in CaCl_2-Cu_2S-NiS molten salt

An alternative metal/alloy production method,known as direct electrochemical reduction(DER),was introduced for the fabrication of CuNi alloys from mixed sulfides(Cu2S,NiS)under both galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions.The influences of the process parameters(e.g.,cell voltage and current)on the compositions of the reduced compounds were investigated to yield industrially desirable alloys,namely,CuNi10,CuNi20,and CuNi30.The electrochemical behaviors of Cu2S and NiS in CaCl2 melt were examined at a temperature of 1200°C via cyclic voltammetry(CV).Based on the CV results,the cathodic reduction of Cu2S occurred in one step and cathodic reductions of NiS occurred in two steps,i.e.,Cu2S?Cu for copper reduction and NiS?Ni3S2?Ni for nickel reduction.Galvanostatic studies revealed that it was possible to fabricate high-purity CuNi10 alloys containing a maximum sulfur content of 320×10-6 via electrolysis at 10 A for 15 min.Scanning electron microscopy along with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and optical emission spectroscopy(OES)examinations showed that it was possible to fabricate CuNi alloys of preferred compositions and with low levels of impurities,i.e.,less than 60×10-6 sulfur,via DER at 2.5 V for 15 min.

The Inhibition Effect of Cinnamon Extract on Leaching of Aluminum Cook Wares in NaCl Solutions at Quasi-Cooking Condition

The contribution of cinnamon extract on leaching of aluminum (Al) cook wares was investigated using two aluminum alloys (Indian and Egyptian) and pure Al. The cinnamon (Cin) was extracted by heating the Cin sticks at 90&degC in distilled water for an hour to make the 10% stock solution. This study was done in aqueous solutions in presence and absence of 1% NaCl using weight loss at 90&degC. Moreover surface study (SEM and EDX) and electrochemical methods (Open Circuit Potential and Tafel plot) were applied. The addition of Cin solutions to 1% NaCl decreased the corrosion rates in weight loss and electrochemical method compared to 1% NaCl solutions which showed an inhibitive property of Cin solution. The inhibition was found to obey the modified Langmuir isotherm with a negative Langmuir ΔGads indicating the spontaneous nature of adsorption even at 90&degC. The EDX surface analysis of the Al surface immersed in Cin + NaCl revealed the composition of the pits formed. From Tafel method, it was found that the corrosion current density of pure Al was more than that of the Egyptian alloy. The apparent activation energy values for Cin, Cin + NaCl and NaCl solution were evaluated and discussed.

Superelasticity of Cu–Ni–Al shape-memory fibers prepared by melt extraction technique

In the paper, a melt extraction method was used to fabricate Cu–4Ni–14Al（wt%） fiber materials with diameters between 50 and 200 μm. The fibers exhibited superelasticity and temperature-induced martensitic transformation. The microstructures and superelasticity behavior of the fibers were studied via scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and a dynamic mechanical analyzer（DMA）, respectively. Appropriate heat treatment further improves the plasticity of Cu-based alloys. The serration behavior observed during the loading process is due to the multiple martensite phase transformation.
