Corrosion Measurement and Hardness Test of Magnesium-Tri Calcium Phosphate Composite Fabricated by Stir Casting
Abstract: Magnesium MMC is preferred in applications requiring high-quality materials and has replaced monolithic materials. Bio-implants traditionally used are titanium, steel, and nickel-titanium alloys, however, their removal necessitates surgery, which is costly and painful. While biodegradable 3D-printed implants are effective and eliminate the need for a second surgery, they remain expensive. After several studies to solve this issue, the development of biodegradable implants is considered. Magnesium possesses good biodegradable properties. An …

Preference assessment of energy and momentum equations over 2D-SKM method in compound channels
Abstract: Gradually varied flow in channels could be assessed and investigated from both the energy and momentum equations standpoints. Depending on what method is implemented, the computational results could be different. Currently, there is an ambiguity on the preference of utilizing the energy and momentum equations standpoints. This study attempts to respond to this ambiguity and the question that among these pair viewpoints which one would provide a closer solution to …
