Implant Wear Debris and Adverse Reactions
Introduction Prosthetic devices make a significant difference in people’s lives by restoring mobility. However, during regular use, these devices produce small particles called wear debris. It’s important to understand the impact of wear debris as it can cause harmful reactions...
Selecting materials using machine learning
Corrosion as a phenomenon seems pretty common to us, yet it consume 6.2% GDP of the USA yearly. It is estimated that more than a whooping $270 billion dollars are spent in various ways to tackle corrosion in the USA...
Radiation Can Slow Corrosion
Radiation is well known to cause an increase of corrosion in the materials it comes into contact with. The increase in the corrosion rate leads to machines and equipment becoming inefficient more quickly, and components needing to be replaced more...
Sandia Researchers Identified Nanoscale Mechanisms of Steel Corrosion
Corrosion is a naturally occurring process, which converts refined metals into a more chemically stable form. This could be an oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. Corrosion is the gradual destruction of metals by chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment. Steel...
