The increase in longevity worldwide has intensified the use of different types prostheses for human body, such as those used dental work well hip and knee replacements. Currently, Ti-6Al-4V is widely a joint implant due to its good mechanical properties durability. However, studies have revealed that this alloy can release metal ions or particles harmful health. mechanisms are not understood yet may involve wear and/or corrosion. Therefore, work, commercial pure titanium were investigated...
Climate change has evidenced the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into atmosphere, and so for transport applications, lighter weight alloys have been studied, such as magnesium alloys. However, they are susceptible corrosion; therefore, surface treatments extensively studied. In this work, influence of argon plasma pretreatment on properties an AZ31 alloy focus enhancement reactivity surface, which was examined by analysis techniques, electrochemical gravimetric measurements. The...
