Study of the normal emissivity of molybdenum during thermal oxidation process

Abstract: The infrared normal spectral emissivity of the oxidized molybdenum was measured during thermal oxidation process, and the integral emissivity was calculated from the data of spectral emissivity. It is found that the surface oxidation has a remarkable effect on the spectral emissivity of molybdenum, and the spectral emissivity curves become more fluctuant with the increase in oxidation time. The integral emissivity grows exponentially with the oxidation time at 773 K, remains almost constant at 823 K, and fluctuates at 873 and 923 K. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, the X-ray diffraction, and the scanning electron microscopy were employed to analyze the changes in surface composition and surface morphology. The results show that the most probable reason for the variation of integral emissivity is the change in surface roughness caused by the variation in the size and shape of oxide particle on specimen surface.

Passive Layers and Corrosion Resistance of Biomedical Ti-6Al-4V and β-Ti Alloys

Abstract: The high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, and great biocompatibility make titanium and its alloys the ideal materials for biomedical metallic implants. Ti-6Al-4V alloy is the most employed in practical biomedical applications because of the excellent combination of strength, fracture toughness, and corrosion resistance. However, recent studies have demonstrated some limits in biocompatibility due to the presence of toxic Al and V. Consequently, scientific literature has reported novel biomedical β-Ti alloys containing biocompatible β-stabilizers (such as Mo, Ta, and Zr) studying the possibility to obtain similar performances to the Ti-6Al-4V alloys. The aim of this review is to highlight the corrosion resistance of the passive layers on biomedical Ti-6Al-4V and β-type Ti alloys in the human body environment by reviewing relevant literature research contributions. The discussion is focused on all those factors that influence the performance of the passive layer at the surface of the alloy subjected to electrochemical corrosion, among which the alloy composition, the method selected to grow the oxide coating, and the physicochemical conditions of the body fluid are the most significant.
