Dong, J. (author)The treatment of largy bone defect remains challenging in clinics. All the clinically available bone grafts have their own limitations and are not ideal for the treatment. Therefore, developing a new generation of suitable bone substitutes is urgently needed. In the recent years, porous magnesium (Mg) has been extensively studied for orthopedic...doctoral thesis 2023

Zuo, Yibing (author), Liao, Yishun (author), Ye, G. (author)Thermodynamic parameters of chloride and sulfate intercalated hydrotalcites were deduced. The phase evolutions in alkali‑activated slag cement upon only sodium chloride or only magnesium sulfate attack and combined attack of those two salts were investigated via thermodynamic modelling. Friedel's salt was predicted to form under sodium...journal article 2023

Eivani, A.R. (author), Mehdizade, M. (author), Chabok, S. (author), Zhou, J. (author)Magnesium alloys have many unique properties, mostly benefitting from the low density of magnesium. However, they are not competitive, when compared with other lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloys, particularly in ductility and corrosion resistance. There is a strong need to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance...journal article 2021

(author)The mechanical properties of a magnesium alloy strongly depend on its grain structure. It is desirable to minimize grain growth during the post-forming annealing treatment, thereby minimizing the loss in strength while regaining ductility. In the present research, the annealing of the hot-rolled AZ61 Mg alloy at different temperatures for...journal article 2021

Schrama, F.N.H. (author), Beunder, Elisabeth M. (author), Visser, H. (author), Boom, R. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Yang, Y. (author)During the magnesium-lime co-injection process for hot metal desulphurisation, graphite can precipitate as a result of carbon oversaturation. The formed graphite is known to form a layer between the slag and the hot metal. This potentially blocks the sulphides, that are formed during the desulphurisation process, to reach the slag phase thus...conference paper 2019
