With recent progress in clinical trials and scale-up applications of biodegradable magnesium-based implants, the scenarios of transplanting biodegradable Mg with other non-degradable metals may occur inevitably. Galvanic corrosion appears between two metallic implants with different electrochemical potentials and leads to accelerated degradation. However, a quantitative measurement on the galvanic corrosion of Mg in contact with other metallic implants has not been conducted. Here we study the corrosion behaviors and mechanical attenuation of high purity magnesium (Mg)in contact with stainless steel (316L), pure titanium (TA2), and magnesium alloy (AZ91) respectively to form different galvanic couples in simulated body fluids. The results show that all of these three heterogeneous metal pairs accelerate the degradation of high purity Mg to different degrees, yielding declined tensile strength and mechanical failure after 4 days of immersion. Our observations alert the potential risk of co-implanting different metallic devices in clinical trials.

This paper investigated the corrosion behaviors of the Nd: YAG laser-gas metal arc (GMA) AA5052-H32 weldments comparing with the base alloy. The corrosion susceptibility of weldments was higher than that of the base alloy. The weld fusion zone (WFZ) suffered the severe pitting in acidic chloride media. The zones adjacent to the weld fusion boundary showed less corrosion tendency. A corrosion cracking was associated with pitting in the weldments. The surface morphology observation and composition analysis were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. At the WFZ/HAZ interface and the HAZ/base alloy interface, the galvanic corrosion coupling existed. From the comparison, the WFZ showed anodic behavior, the zone adjacent to the weld fusion boundary showed cathodic behavior. The corrosion of WFZ was progressed by the formation of the galvanic couples.

The 6061-T6 aluminum alloy welding joints were fabricated using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) of various laser powers, and the effect of laser power on the microstructure evolution of the welding joints was investigated. The corrosion behaviors of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy welding joints were investigated in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the micro-galvanic corrosion initiation from Mg2Si or around the intermetallic particles (Al-Fe-Si) is observed after the immersion test due to the inhomogeneous nature of the microstructure. The preferential dissolution of the Mg2Si and Al-Fe-Si is believed to be the possible cause of pitting corrosion. When the laser power reached 5 kW, the microstructure of the welded joint mainly consisted of Al-Fe-Si rather than the Mg2Si at 2 kW. The relatively higher content of Al-Fe-Si with increasing in laser power would increase the volume of corrosion pits.

Abstract Chemical and galvanic corrosion experiments at 35 C show that ductile vanadium is resistant to corrosion in substitute ocean water. It is also resistant in 60 percent sulfuric and 20 percent hydrochloric acids but corrodes rapidly in nitric acid solutions. Vanadium is less noble than stainless steel and copper and more noble than aluminum, magnesium and steel (SAE 4130) in substitute ocean water. 6.3.18

The latest advances in pharmaceutical technology are leading to the development of cutting edged approaches to produce what is now known as the “Holy Grail” of medicine—nanopharmaceutics. Over the latest decade, the pharmaceutical industry has made important contributions to the scale up of these new products. To ensure their quality, efficacy, and safety for human use, clinical trials are mandatory. Yet, regulation regarding nanopharmaceuticals is still limited with a set of guidelines being recently released with respect to compliance with quality and safety. For the coming years, updates on regulatory issues about nanopharmaceuticals and their use in clinical settings are expected. The use of nanopharmaceuticals in clinical trials depends on the approval of the production methods and assurance of the quality of the final product by implementation and verification of the good manufacturing practices (GMP). This review addresses the available legislation on nanopharmaceuticals within the European Union (EU), the GMP that should be followed for their production, and the current challenges encountered in clinical trials of these new formulations. The singular properties of nanopharmaceuticals over their bulk counterparts are associated with their size, matrix composition, and surface properties. To understand their relevance, four main clinical trial guidelines, namely, for intravenous iron-based nanopharmaceuticals, liposomal-based nanopharmaceuticals, block copolymer micelle-based nanopharmaceuticals, and related to surface coating requirements, are described here.

The Uranium and Titanium corrosion rates are described by a Tafel’s relationship, and the cathodic protection of Uranium is a function of a Wagner number. A numerical simulation of galvanic corrosion of Uranium surface under thin layer electrolyte is presented. The model considered that the effect of a circular defect and oxygen reduction and corrosion in the Uranium surface, the effect of electrolyte thickness and conductivity and defect radius on corrosion current distribution of Uranium with is investigated. The results shows that the corrosion rate at the center is non-uniform, and it could lead to the formation of a hemispherical-shaped pit. And the effect of radius is to increase the importance of the electrode kinetics relative to ohmic resistance, and to increase the potential difference between the center and edge of the Uranium surface, resulting in non-uniform corrosion current distribution.
