Numerical Model For Short-Time High-Temperature Isothermal Oxidation of Fe–Mn Binaries at High Oxygen Partial Pressure

Since the oxidation reactions in the process of steel production occur in harsh conditions (i.e., high temperatures and gas atmospheres), it is practically impossible to observe in situ the compositional changes in the steel and the formed oxide scale. Hence, a coupled thermodynamic-kinetic numerical model is developed that predicts the...

Biodegradation and mechanical behavior of an advanced bioceramic-containing Mg matrix composite synthesized through in-situ solid-state oxidation

Recent studies have shown great potential of Mg matrix composites for biodegradable orthopedic devices. However, the poor structural integrity of these composites, which results in excessive localized corrosion and premature mechanical failure, has hindered their widespread applications. In this research, an in-situ Powder Metallurgy (PM)...
