Objective: To investigate the variation of the corrosion resistance of micro-arc oxidation film on titanium by electrochemical methods in simulated body fluid.
Methods: Micro-arc oxidation film was formed on the titanium surface using micro-arc oxidation. The morphology was observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the phase composition was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in simulated body fluid were examined with electrochemical methods.
Results: On the titanium surface with micro-arc oxidation, the film consisted of many volcanic micropores. The film formed was a titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) with peaks for both anatase and rutile phases. In addition, hydroxylapatite was also observed. The self-corrosion potential and self-corrosion current density of titanium with micro-arc oxidation film were -0.255 V and 0.80 microA/cm(2) respectively, while those of untreated titanium were -0.358 V and 0.55 microA/cm(2). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirmed the model of equivalent circuits reasonable.
Conclusions: The results of electrochemical examinations indicate that micro-arc oxidation film increases the corrosion resistance of titanium.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) hydrogen sensors offer advantages, such as high sensitivity and fast response, but their challenges remain in achieving low-cost fabrication and stable operation at room temperature. This study investigates Nb-doped TiO (NTO) thin films prepared via a one-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) with the addition of NbO nanoparticles into the electrolyte for room-temperature hydrogen sensing. The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of NbO altered the film's morphology and phase composition, increasing the Nb content and forming a homogeneous composite thin film.

Titanium potassium oxalate had been mixed into the electrolyte to improve the anti-corrosion property of the micro arc oxidation coating on the surface of the aluminium alloy. The surface and cross-section of the coating at different titanium potassium oxalate concentrations had been observed by scanning electron microscopy, showing that when the titanium potassium oxalate concentration was 10 g/L, the coating compactness was better. Additionally, the element content of the coating had been studied by the energy dispersive spectrometer, and results proved that the coating consisted of Al, O, Ti, Si, and P.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on recovering oil from discarded lemon peel biomass and testing it as a gasoline substitute in engine blends at different volume ratios (10%, 20%, and 30%) using steam distillation for oil extraction.
- - Using an endoscopic visualization approach, the research found that a 10% lemon peel oil blend offered higher thermal efficiency and lower emissions, while premixed combustion produced better combustion characteristics, leading to increased cylinder pressure.
- - To enhance performance, a ceramic coating was applied to the piston using the micro-arc oxidation technique, which improved thermal efficiency by 3% and 4.69% for the 20% lemon peel oil blend compared to uncoated and pure gasoline engines, while also reducing hydrocarbon

Biodegradable metals offer significant advantages by reducing the need for additional surgeries following bone fixation. These materials, with their optimal mechanical and degradable properties, also mitigate stress-shielding effects while promoting biological processes essential for healing. This study investigated the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of ZK60 magnesium alloy coated with a micro-arc oxidative layer incorporated with cerium oxide nanoparticles in orthopedic implants.
