During the lifetime of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, the pore structure of the Pt/C catalyst layer may change as a result of carbon corrosion. Three-dimensional visualization of porosity changes is important to understand the origin of fuel cell perform ...
Electrochemical and friction measurements during unidirectional sliding tests are used to monitor and to evaluate the tribocorrosion behavior of a passivating material. Tribocorrosion is the interplay between chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical proce ...
Two different methods for estimating the corrosion resistance of low alloy stainless steels are compared: critical pitting temperature according to a modified ASTM G150 with a low chloride concentration (0.1M), and pitting potentials from polarisation curv ...
The corrosion behaviour and the wear ranking of biomedical high carbon (HC) and low carbon (LC) CoCrMo alloys sliding against an alumina ball in four different simulated body fluids [NaCl and phosphate buffered solutions (PBS) with and without albumin] has ...
Continuous hot-dip galvanization is a process during which steel sheets are coated with a layer of Zn-Al alloy to protect them against corrosion. As the name indicates, this is achieved by dipping the preheated sheet into a bath of molten alloy. The sheet ...
The long term fixation of biomedical implants constitutes an issue in the clinical praxis. Implant fixation can be improved by functionalizing its surface. In fact, the tissue response around an implant is conditioned by its surface morphological and chemi ...
The corrosion and tribocorrosion of tungsten in 0.01 M H2SO4, without and with the presence of lactic acid and phosphoric acid as chelating agents was studied here. ...
High Performance Cement-based composites such as some UHPFRC or SHCC exhibit a tensile strain hardening response associated to the progressive formation of finely distributed microcracks. Strain Hardening (SH) - UHPFRC with suitable fibrous mixes have a de ...
In modern buildings, glass is increasingly used as a load-carrying material in structural components, such as glass beams. For glass beams especially the edge strength of glass is important. However, the strength of glass is not a material constant but dep ...
Tribocorrosion is a material deterioration or transformation resulting from simultaneous action of wear and corrosion. Tribocorrosion is found in many engineering applications but the involved mechanisms are still little understood. The investigation of tr ...
