Influence of white etching layer on rolling contact behavior at wheel-rail interface by Qinglin Lian, Guanyu Deng, Hongtao Zhu, Huijun Li, Xi Wang, Zhiming Liu

“…Stress changes along the rail depth matched with the previously reported microstructure evolutions. The current work revealed that the maximum difference in contact stress between the wheel passages of rail matrix and the WEL region (noted as stress variation) rises with the increase of loading pressure, the value of a/b, and Sr; but drops with the friction coefficient (μ). …”

Effect of nanostructured MgO directly grown on pure magnesium substrate on its in vitro corrosion and bioactivity behaviour by Majid Shahsanaei, Masoud Atapour, Morteza Shamanian, Nastaran Farahbakhsh, Swathi N.V. Raghu, Torsten Kowald, Sybille Krauß, Seyedsina Hejazi, Shiva Mohajernia, Manuela S. Killian

“…Biomineralization studies demonstrated the uniform formation of apatite with a Ca/P ratio of 1.35 on the nanostructured surface after 14 days in simulated body fluid (SBF), surpassing that of microstructured MgO. Hydrogen evolution decreased from 912±38 µL cm-2 for untreated Mg to 615±32 µL cm-2 for the Mg/MgO nanostructure and 545±29 µL cm-2 for the Mg/MgO/HA sample. …”
