Summary: Magnesium is a promising candidate metal for biodegradable implants due to its biodegradation tendency and excellent biocompatibility. However, the high degradation rate and localized degradation in physiological conditions are major challenges for its successful implant applications. Recent research has focused on coating hydroxyapatite (HAp), a biocompatible ceramic material, on magnesium-based materials to improve degradation resistance and biocompatibility.

Summary: Aluminum alloys have gained significant interest in the automotive and aerospace industries as a substitute for steel, especially in sliding components due to their lightweight properties. However, their surface properties are lacking. In order to address this issue, surface modification is required to enhance wear resistance and reliability. Thus, this study focuses on improving the surface properties of aluminum alloys by coating them with a hard partially sintered WC/Ni electrode using the PM route through electro discharge coating (EDC). The central composite design (CCD) is used in experiments, and the optimal coating parameters are determined using the desirability approach. The corresponding optimal combination of discharge parameters, leading to the highest desirability, are compaction load = 154.5082 Mpa, current = 7.3842 amps, and pulse on time = 20.5282 mu s, with the achieved responses being MH = 753.8 HV and SR = 2.948 mu m. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to observe topographical changes during EDC, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is employed to identify the diffused electrode materials on the surface.

Summary: In this study, it was found that alumina ceramics with hydroxyapatite (HA) surface have better mineralization ability in a newly revised simulated body fluid, leading to increased deposition of HA crystals. These mineralized ceramics exhibit enhanced biological activity and osteogenesis properties in vitro. Increased formation of HA on the surface of alumina ceramics significantly promotes the ALP activity and expression of osteogenesis-related genes in bone marrow stromal stem cells.

Summary: Various biomaterials such as 316L steel, magnesium-alloy, Ni-Ti, titanium-alloy, and cobalt-alloy are commonly used in biomedical applications due to their excellent mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance, although they may sometimes be incompatible with the body. Surface coating is necessary to mitigate the release of contaminants, with hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) widely used for forming biocompatible coatings. The HAp added-EDM process has been shown to significantly improve coating properties, corrosion resistance, and biofunctions of biomaterials, highlighting the importance of these factors for biomaterial performance.

Summary: Poor fatigue life caused by rough and irregular surfaces is a significant challenge for additive manufacturing. Laser polishing, using a laser to irradiate, melt, and smooth the surface, is a solution. This study examines the laser polishing of cobalt-chromium samples produced through laser powder bed fusion. The influence of various laser processing parameters on surface smoothing is analyzed, with laser power playing the most important role. The starting surface condition and variability caused by particle adherence are also discussed. This work provides an important overview of processing aspects for advancing the commercialization of additive manufacturing technology in part finishing.

Summary: Introducing external surface features on mating contact surfaces effectively reduces friction and wear between the surfaces. The tribological properties of the contact surfaces can be improved by controlling the geometrical parameters of the surface texture. Experimental tests on steel and aluminum materials with hierarchical micro-dimple textures show a lower friction coefficient and improved tribological characteristics under boundary lubrication conditions. The secondary hierarchical nano-structures generate an additional hydrodynamic lift effect.

However, there are still challenges for graphene-based composite electrodes to meet current energy demands. In this study, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a one-pot solvothermal method and applied in supercapacitors. The N-rGO-based electrode exhibited the highest specific capacitance and excellent retention after cycles. This facile synthetic process shows promise for designing electrodes for next-generation supercapacitors.
