- Application of a Bioactive Coating on Resorbable, Neodymium Containing Magnesium Alloys, and Analyses of their Effects on the In Vitro Degradation Behavior in a Simulated Body Fluid

The aims of the present study are twofold: to investigate parameters for applying a bioactive SiO2–CaO–P2O5 coating, which shows promise of improved cell compatibility, onto the resorbable magnesium alloys Nd2 and LANd442, and also to determine the effects of a bioactive coating on the alloy's degradation and associated strength. Both alloys are currently of interest in the field of biomedical engineering since they present diverse corrosive characteristics and are therefore capable of best showing the impact on their degradation rates.

Reactive air brazing (RAB) as a novel brazing method for metal/ceramic joints were being developed to achieve advanced brazing properties. Fracture resistance, contour accuracy, and wetting behavior of the brazed joints using three different Ag-based filler alloys were examined and compared. AgAl filler material exhibit the most promising mechanical properties and contour accuracy.
- Influence of Parent Metal Microstructure and Post-Weld Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Linear Friction Welded Ti-6Al-4V Joint

The microstructure of parent metal has a strong influence on the microstructure and properties of linear friction welding Ti-64 joints. Under special conditions, unexpected spheric α grains can be observed near the bondline, which leads to the steep drop of joint strength. After post-weld heat-treatment, the basket-weave structure is formed in the weld while the spheric α grains still remain.
