Magnesium Alloys have the potential to be applied in the various fields of applications including biomaterials. Magnesium Alloys are an interesting alloy due to its high strength to density ratio. They have been proposed as a biodegradable implant material due to its friendly effect to human body compared to another alloy. Besides its good biodegradable properties, it has a disadvantage of low hardness and corrosion properties. In order to overcome this, it has been combined with other metals such as Zinc (Zn) or Copper (Cu). To increase mechanical properties, we used Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) as reinforcement. Magnesium-Zinc (Mg-xZn) CNTs composites with several compositions was prepared by using powder metallurgy and sintered in the presence of flowing Argon (Ar) gas in tube furnace. Mg-Zn Alloy with the composition of 4% and 6% of Zn and the variation of CNTs at 0.1%, 0.3 %, and 0.5% was also prepared. Hardness testing by using microvickers showed that CNTs can increase the alloy hardness which the maximum hardness is 53.6 HV. The corrosion rates as low as 175.5 mpy exhibited for the Mg-Alloy with the composition of Mg-4-Zn with 0.1 wt.% of CNTs

Az91 Magnesium

The corrosion behavior of duplex Ni-P coatings deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy was studied. The electroless deposition process of duplex Ni-P coating consisted in the preparation of low-phosphorus Ni-P coating (5.7 wt.% of P), which served as a bond coating and high-phosphorus Ni-P coating (11.5 wt.% of P) deposited on it. The duplex Ni-P coatings with the thickness of 25, 50, 75 and 100 µm were deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of coated AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization method in 0.1 M NaCl. Obtained results showed a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance of coated specimens when compared to uncoated AZ91 magnesium alloy. From the results of the immersion tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl, 10% solution of HCl and NaOH and 5% neutral salt spray, a noticeable increase in the corrosion resistance with the increasing thickness of the Ni-P coating was observed.

Abstract In this contribution, particle sizes of TiC (13 and 93 μm) and volume fractions of ZrC (5 and 10 vol.-%) with respect to reinforcement particles were varied to investigate the effects on the microstructure, hardness, density, wear and corrosion properties of AZ91 Mg matrix alloy. Experimental results revealed that the hardness, density and sliding wear performance of AZ91 alloy were markedly improved by the addition of carbide particles. Predominant wear and corrosion mechanisms were identified considering the size and volume fraction of the carbides. The composite sample comprising fine TiC particles (13 μm) exhibited the highest wear resistance at the same volume fraction as the coarse particles. Moreover, coarse ZrC particles with a low volume fraction (5 vol.-%) provided an enhanced wear resistance beyond that of the 10 vol.-% ZrC particles. Considering all the investigated composites, the corrosion resistance of the composites deteriorated with the increasing volume fraction and size of the carbide particles. Electrochemical measurements of the 0,5M NaCl solution revealed that increasing carbide particle size and volume fraction leads to lower corrosion resistance due to the formation of more cathodic areas which are preferred sites for the initiation of pitting corrosion.

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanofibers (CNFs) are well-known nano additives that produce coating materials with high electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. In this paper, coating materials incorporating hydrogen bonding offered significantly lower electrical resistance. The hydrogen bonding formed between functionalized carbon nanotubes and ethanol helped create a well-dispersed carbon nanotube network as the electron pathways. Electrical resistivity as low as 6.8 Ω⋅cm has been achieved by adding 4.5 wt.% functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-OH) to 75%Polyurethane/25%Ethanol. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of Polyurethane was improved by 332% with 10 wt.% addition of CNF. Electrochemical methods were used to evaluate the anti-corrosion properties of the fabricated coating materials. Polyurethane with the addition of 3 wt.% of MWNT-OH showed an excellent corrosion rate of 5.105×10-3 mm/year, with a protection efficiency of 99.5% against corrosive environments. The adhesion properties of the coating materials were measured following ASTM standard test methods. Polyurethane with 3 wt.% of MWNT-OH belonged to class 5 (ASTM D3359), indicating the outstanding adhesion of the coating to the substrate. These nano coatings with enhanced electrical, thermal, and anti-corrosion properties consist of a choice of traditional coating materials, such as Polyurethane, yielding coating durability with the ability to tailor the electrical and thermal properties to fit the desired application.

Ternary Carbides

The aim of this study is to enhance the interfacial bonding strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/AZ91 composites by heat treatment (HT). Ternary carbides (Al2MgC2) were in situ formed and uniformly dispersed between CNTs and AZ91 matrix by 823K heat treatment of CNTs/AZ91 composites for 12 h. In situ synthesized Al2MgC2 can strengthen the interfacial bonding of CNTs/AZ91 composites, and guarantee an effective load transfer between matrix and CNTs. The HT-CNTs/AZ91 composites showed outstanding mechanical properties due to the excellent interface enhancing effect of Al2MgC2. Compared with pure AZ91 alloy, HT-CNTs/AZ91 composites exhibit improved ultimate tensile strength and 0.2% yield strength by 7% and 22% respectively.
