During recent decades vast and continuously increasing numbers of biomedical implants
have been introduced for continuous use in the human body. Since the early cemented hip …

The article presents a review of literature which covers aspects of pitting corrosion observed
in metallic materials, focussing on events associated with nucleation of pits, ie passivity …

This work investigated the metastable pitting corrosion mechanism of laser powder bed
fusion (LPBF) produced Ti–6Al–4V. The passive films of samples were produced by …

The metastable pitting corrosion behavior of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) produced Ti-
6Al-4V is still unclear. Therefore, this work investigated the metastable pitting corrosion of …

Although aluminum alloys are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industry, they
are susceptible to local corrosion and wear during long-term service in harsh environment …

Corrosion of metals and alloys by pitting constitutes one of the very major failure
mechanisms. Pits cause failure through perforation and engender stress corrosion cracks …

Metals and alloys such as aluminum (Al), stainless steels, and nickel-based alloys exhibit
corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments due to the presence of protective …

The Al2CrFeCoCuTiNix high-entropy alloys were prepared by laser cladding. Using
metallurgical microscope, scanning electron microscopy with spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), X …

Metastable pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel was studied by potentiostatic polarization
and three-dimensional video microscope. The results showed that the dissolution rate of …

The aim of this article is to review those aspects of corrosion behaviour that are most
relevant to the clinical application of implant alloys. The special modes of corrosion …
