- * Accurate hydrogen mapping and analysis at the microstructural level are essential for understanding how hydrogen causes material embrittlement and impacts future fusion power plants.
- * A workshop at the Max-Planck Institute aimed to establish best practices for using atom probe tomography (APT) to improve the accuracy and reporting of hydrogen analysis in materials.
Millions worldwide suffer from arthritis of the hips, and total hip replacement is a clinically successful treatment for end-stage arthritis patients. Typical hip implants incorporate a cobalt alloy (Co-Cr-Mo) femoral head fixed on a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) femoral stem via a Morse taper junction. However, fretting and corrosion at this junction can cause release of wear particles and metal ions from the metallic implant, leading to local and systemic toxicity in patients.
