Efficient exploitation and conservation of the oceans poses great technological challenges for scientists and engineers who must develop materials, structures and equipment for use in harsh environment of the oceans. For ...

In the present investigation, MMCs have been fabricated using the creep-resistant AE42 magnesium alloy as matrix and reinforcing it with saffil short fibres (essentially δ-Al2O2) and SiC particles in various combinations. ...

Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ...

Conventional metallic coatings are widely used for protection against corrosion. This study investigates the correlation between microstructure and corrosion properties in SnCr and CuCr electrodeposited coatings. The wide ...

Conventional metallic coatings such as Ni and Zn are extensively used in corrosion protection applications. In most studies on the corrosion behavior of metallic coatings, the emphasis is on correlating morphology and ...

High entropy alloys (HEA) are composed of five or more alloying elements in a nearly equi-atomic ratio. HEAs exhibit high oxidation and corrosion resistance behaviour. In this work, HEA coatings were electrodeposited over ...

Coating corrosion-prone material with metal/alloy and passivated oxide layers is the primary protection method in the ever-evolving corrosion protection area. To improve the corrosion resistance of the coatings, the coating ...

The widespread application for Mg and its alloys are severely restricted mainly due to its relatively low strength and ductility and poor corrosion behaviour, particularly in the aqueous environment. The plasma electrolytic ...

The application of cobalt and cobalt based coatings is limited by their electrochemical degradation in corrosive environments. In the present work, corrosion and hydrogen permeation behavior of electrodeposited Co and ...
