Corrosion Behavior of Heat-Treated Fe-Based Shape Memory Alloys

Jean-Michel Sallese, Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

The influence of various heat treatments on the corrosion behavior of a novel iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA), Fe-17Mn-6Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C), used as prestressing elements in civil engineering was examined through electrochemical corrosion methods. SM ...

Alumina/metal tribopairs: Which is the wearing element under tribocorrosion conditions?

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Alumina wears when rubbing against certain metals (titanium and its alloys, nickel or ruthenium among others) in water lubricated contacts. However, alumina does not wear under similar tribocorrosion conditions (combined action of wear and corrosion) when ...

Unique corrosion behavior of an archaeological Roman iron ring: Microchemical characterization and thermodynamic considerations

Stefano Mischler, Laura Brambilla

The corrosion mechanisms of a Roman iron bezel ring were investigated by in-depth characterization of its uncommon corrosion pattern and thermodynamic modelling. A silver foil and altered glass remnants were identified, covered with thick strata of magneti ...

Wear behaviour of novel copper alloy as an alternative to copper-beryllium

Roland Logé, Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz, Baptiste Thomas Jean Rouxel

Copper beryllium age hardenable alloys (Cu-Be) are widely used and appreciated for combining exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity of these alloys pushes the scientific community to develop alternative alloys. Cu-Ni-Sn all ...

Influence of Different Sterilization Methods on the Surface Chemistry and Electrochemical Behavior of Biomedical Alloys

Stefano Mischler, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...

Current and friction transients during tribocorrosion of a biomedical titanium alloy sliding against zirconia

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz, Anna Dalmau Mallorquí

The tribocorrosion mechanisms of a Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta (TNZT) alloy rubbing against a zirconia ball in a Phosphate Buffered Solution (PBS) were analyzed by considering the mechanical and chemical interactions that lead to the material degradation. To understand th ...

Revealing cation and metal gradients in and underneath passive films of the stainless steel 1.4652 in acidic and alkaline electrolytes with angular resolved dual energy X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy

Stefano Mischler, Patrik Schmutz, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz, Roland Hauert

Passive films on the superaustenitic stainless steel 1.4652 were studied using angular resolved hard X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (HAXPES), which provides an increased information depth compared to conventional X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS). ...
