Biodegradable metals (BMs) gradually degrade in vivo by releasing corrosion products once
exposed to the physiological environment in the body. Complete dissolution of …

Recently, zinc and its alloys have been proposed as promising candidates for
biodegradable metals (BMs), owning to their preferable corrosion behavior and acceptable …

In the flotation of zinc oxide minerals, unavoidable lead ions (Pb 2+) in the pulp interact with
the mineral surface, sulfidizing reagents, and collectors. This interaction affects the …

Patients suffering bone fractures in different parts of the body require implants that will
enable similar function to that of the natural bone that they are replacing. Joint diseases …

According to market data, about 15% of world zinc consumption is devoted to the production
of zinc-base alloys that are used for manufacturing automotive parts, electronic/electrical …

Abstract Zn-3Cu-xMg (x= 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 wt.%) alloys were developed as potential
biodegradable metallic materials in this study. The mechanical properties, corrosion …

An unusual effect of Mn on the microstructures and mechanical properties of as-extruded Zn
alloys has been found in our paper. Although the grain of Zn matrix is remarkably refined …

The use of bioresorbable stents (BRS) was envisioned as the fourth revolution in
interventional cardiology due to its potential benefits such as restoration of vasomotion and …

In this study, the effect of mechanical milling time on the mechanical properties, wear
behavior and microstructure of B4C and graphene-reinforced ZA40 metal matrix hybrid …

The effects of heat treatment, involving solutionizing at temperature of 370° C for a relatively
short period of time (3 or 5h), followed by quenching in water, on tribological behavior of ZA …
