Magnesium (Mg), a potential biodegradable material, has recently received increasing attention due to its unique antibacterial property. However, rapid corrosion in the physiological environment and potential toxicity limit clinical applications. In order to improve the corrosion resistance meanwhile not compromise the antibacterial activity, a novel Mg alloy, Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (Hereafter, denoted as JDBM), is fabricated by alloying with neodymium (Nd), zinc (Zn), zirconium (Zr). pH value, Mg ion concentration, corrosion rate and electrochemical test show that the corrosion resistance of JDBM is enhanced. A systematic investigation of the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial capability of JDBM is performed. The results of microbiological counting, CLSM, SEM in vitro, and microbiological cultures, histopathology in vivo consistently show JDBM enhanced the antibacterial activity. In addition, the significantly improved cytocompatibility is observed from JDBM. The results suggest that JDBM effectively enhances the corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties of Mg by alloying with the proper amount of Zn, Zr and Nd.

Recent advancements in aerospace industry demand intricate aero-engine parts, leading to the increased use of titanium alloys, particularly Ti-17, due to its high strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. However, its low thermal conductivity and tool wear tendency pose significant machining challenges, impacting surface integrity, fatigue life, and overall component performance. This study investigates the Wire Electrical Discharge Cutting (WEDC) process, revealing that the mechanism behind improved surface integrity lies in the controlled thermal input, which minimizes phase transformations and reduces residual stresses.

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is widely used for polychlorinated biphenyl (PBDE) remediation due to its cost-effectiveness and strong reduction capacity. However, its practical application is limited by poor stability, mobility, and antioxidant performance, as well as high reactivity that leads to side reactions and activity loss. To overcome these challenges, a poly(styrene)-encapsulated nZVI (PS-nZVI) core-shell structure was developed using dispersion polymerization.

A micro-nano sharkskin like film (Cu-MNS-FA) was synthesized on copper surface through chemical etching followed by formate passivation, and its anticorrosive, antibacterial and thermal conductivity properties were investigated. Results show that after 7 d of exposure to nature, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Desulfovibrio vulgaris seawater, the charge transfer resistance of Cu-MNS-FA is more than three times higher than that of unmodified copper. In particular, in D.

The current piston material, Al-12Si, lacks sufficient passivation in the acidic lubrication system of biodiesel engines, making it prone to corrosion in the presence of Cl. Fe amorphous particles exhibit good compatibility with Al-12Si, possessing strong corrosion resistance, excellent passivation ability, and good high-temperature stability. They are a potential reinforcement for enhancing the Al-12Si piston material.
