TL;DR: A plethora of investigations on hydrogen embrittlement has already been reported in the literature as discussed by the authors, however, the results of these investigations are highly scattered with contradictory outcomes, and the present article attempts to succinctly summarize relevant research works in order to develop simplistic and coherent understanding of this complex phenomenon, apart from highlighting the thrust areas which require further investigations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic investigation was performed on Zr x Nb alloys to establish the optimized Nb content and annealing temperatures which were applied during manufacturing process, and the results showed that the corrosion resistance of Nb-containing Zr alloys was considerably affected by the nb content as well as anneal temperature.

TL;DR: Orthopedic implants of zirconium or zirconsium-based alloy are also useful in that the coatings provide a barrier against implant corrosion caused by ionization of the metal prosthesis.
Abstract: Orthopedic implants of zirconium or zirconium-based alloy coated with blue or blue-black zirconium oxide or zirconium nitride to provide low friction, highly wear resistant coatings especially useful in artificial joints, such as hip joints, knee joints, elbows, etc. The invention zirconium oxide or nitride coated prostheses are also useful in that the coatings provide a barrier against implant corrosion caused by ionization of the metal prosthesis. Such protection can be extended by the use of oxidized or nitrided porous coatings of zirconium or zirconium alloy beads or wire mesh into which bone spicules may grow so that the prosthesis may be integrated into the living skeleton.

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion and electrochemical behavior of the Ti-13Nb-13Zr (TNZ) alloy was studied in a PBS solution, and the results showed that, with the oxygen load, there is a significant reduction of the anodic current in almost the whole potential spam.
