TL;DR: In this article, the kinetics of sustained load subcritical crack growth for 18 Ni maraging steels in high purity hydrogen are examined using crack-tip stress intensity,K, as a measure of crack driving force.
Abstract: The kinetics of sustained-load subcritical crack growth for 18 Ni maraging steels in high purity hydrogen are examined using crack-tip stress intensity,K, as a measure of crack driving force. Crack growth rate as a function of stress intensity exhibited a clearly definedK-independent stage (Stage II). Crack growth rates in an 18 Ni (250) maraging steel are examined for temperatures from -60°C to 100°C. A critical temperature was observed above which crack growth rates became diminishingly small. At lower temperatures the activation energy for Stage II crack growth was found to be 16.7 ± 3.3 kJ/mole. Temperature and hydrogen partial pressure are shown to interact in a complex manner to determine the apparentK th and the crack growth behavior. Comparison of results on ‘250’ and ‘300’ grades of 18 Ni maraging steel indicate a significant influence of alloy composition and/or strength level on the crack growth behavior. These phenomenological observations are discussed in terms of possible underlying controlling processes.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that both zinc alloys can be considered as potential candidates for biodegradable implants, with a relative advantage to the Zn-1%Mg alloy in terms of its corrosion resistance and SCC performance.
Abstract: Increasing interest in biodegradable metals (Mg, Fe, and Zn) as structural materials for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications mainly relates to their promising biocompatibility, mechanical properties and ability to self-remove. However, Mg alloys suffer from excessive corrosion rates associated with premature loss of mechanical integrity and gas embolism risks. Fe based alloys produce voluminous corrosion products that have a detrimental effect on neighboring cells and extracellular matrix. In contrast, Zn does not appear to exhibit a harmful mode of corrosion. Unfortunately, pure zinc possesses insufficient mechanical strength for biomedical structural applications. The present study aimed at examining the potential of two new zinc based alloys, Zn-1%Mg and Zn-1%Mg-0.5%Ca to serve as structural materials for biodegradable implants. This examination was carried out under in vitro conditions, including immersion testing, potentiodynamic polarization analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) assessments in terms of slow strain rate testing (SSRT). In order to assess the cytotoxicity of the tested alloys, cell viability was evaluated indirectly using Saos-2 cells. The results demonstrate that both zinc alloys can be considered as potential candidates for biodegradable implants, with a relative advantage to the Zn-1%Mg alloy in terms of its corrosion resistance and SCC performance.
