Nine spinnable alloys were defined for initial trials. After the first galvanizing trial on rods two alloys were identified for further testing on bolts with spinning, namely Zn20Al4Mg and Zn20Al. Although the large number of tests did not yield adequate coating quality for bolts, correlations...

Hydrogen production based in the corrosion of light metals in water solutions is an interesting alternative. Among all of them, Mg is probably the most adequate metal for energetic purposes due to its high electron density and oxidation potential. A safe and environmental-friendly method of...

CG (Crude glycerol) is one of the major wastes of biodiesel production process. It can be used as a substrate for lipid production by algae and the produced lipid can be recycled as a feedstock for biodiesel production. In order to avoid substrate inhibition, lipid production media are prepared...

A simple method of improving hydrogen generation from the reaction between highly activated Mg powder and water is established. The Mg–H2O reaction is found to become faster and more intense when magnesium is mixed with salts and subjected to by high-energy ball milling. Among the studied...

The present study aims to investigate the comparative corrosion of light-weight metals such as aluminum and magnesium in palm biodiesel. Immersion test at room temperature was carried out for each metal for 1440 h. Sample characterization techniques employed include weight loss measurement, SEM...

AZ91D magnesium alloys with and without dispersed SiC particles were oxidized between 420 and 500°C in air. They oxidized to fine MgO oxide grains containing dissolved ions of Al. Their oxidation rates increased almost linearly, with an increase in the oxidation temperature and time. SiC...

Modification of bioceramics by ion implantation of magnesium (Mg) is of interest as Mg is the fourth abundant cation in the human body. In this work, magnesium was ion-implanted into a ZrO2 based bioceramic stabilized with Y2O3 and Al2O3. Both Mg-implanted and unimplanted samples were soaked in...

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are suitable materials for weight reduction in vehicles because of their low density of 1.7g/cm3 and high specific strength. The effect of Mg substitution for conventional steel parts in a vehicle on total energy consumption and CO2 emissions was evaluated through life...

Background: In the Treatment with Ibutilide and Magnesium Evaluation (TIME) study, a retrospective multicentre cohort trial, prophylactic magnesium was found to improve the antiarrhythmic efficacy of ibutilide as demonstrated by an increase in the rate of successful chemical conversion and...
