Featuring low density and high specific strength, magnesium (Mg) alloys have attracted wide
interests in the fields of portable devices and automotive industry. However, the active …

Protection of metals in neutral media with pH 5.0–9.0 (in humid atmospheres and various
aqueous solutions) can be achieved by formation of thin coatings (up to several tens of nm) …

Engineering high‐performance oxygen evolution reaction (OER) anode material with high
activity, selectivity, and strong robustness against chloride corrosion is critical to advance …

The influence of phytate ions (IP 6) on the corrosion resistance of carbon steel with and
without passive films in simulated concrete pore solutions with chloride ions was …

Local corrosion of coated Mg alloys appears as aggressive solutions penetrate the coating-
substrate interface, which might accelerate the premature failure of coated Mg alloys. In this …

Corrosion protection systems based on hexavalent chromium are traditionally perceived to
be a panacea for many engineering metals including magnesium alloys. However, bans and …

In this study, phytic acid (PA) surface treatment was used to prepare iron-based soft
magnetic composites (SMCs). The composition and microstructure of the SMCs were …

The currently employed inorganic conversion coatings are unattractive and their use is
restricted due to toxicity, non-biodegradability and high cost. Conversion coatings based on …

This book provides a comprehensive review of the biomedical applications of biodegradable
magnesium and its alloys. It discusses the basic concepts of biodegradation mechanisms as …

A phytic acid conversion coating was developed on AZ31 magnesium alloy by dipping the
magnesium alloy into the phytic acid solution. The effects of heat treatment in the …
