Magnesium (Mg)-based biomaterials have been specifically designed and actively explored for biodegradable implant applications since the early 2000s. To realize the benefits of Mg-based materials for ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Squeeze casting is the most industrially advantageous process for producing zamak 5 parts. However, this process generates porosity defects in parts, compromising their corrosion resistance. Therefore ...

Abstract: We have developed a new approach for high critical current density (J/sub c/) small junction fabrication. The key step is light anodization that forms a thin double-layer of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3 ...

The fluoride use for anodizing electrolytes has been primarily responsible for the formation of nanoporous oxides at valve metals, except aluminum, since it causes a dissolution process. This study ...

Abstract: We have developed a self-aligned Nb/Al-AlO/sub x//Nb junction anodization process that allows outside junction contacts and relaxed contact alignment. In this process, the junction, rather ...

What do those colorful iPod Nano cases have in common with sapphires? In both substances the color is not on the surface, but integrated in the structure of the material. As usually, [Bill Hammack] ...

Anodization colors are one of the latest trends for contemporary façades, favored for the natural, yet highly sophisticated look that architects often seek. The chemical process of anodizing forms a ...
