Non-Isothermal Kinetic Analysis of the Crystallization of Metallic Glasses Using the Master Curve Method

  • Joan Torrens-Serra,
  • Shankar Venkataraman,
  • Mihai Stoica,
  • Uta Kuehn,
  • Stefan Roth and
  • Jürgen Eckert

20 December 2011

The non-isothermal transformation rate curves of metallic glasses are analyzed with the Master Curve method grounded in the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami theory. The method is applied to the study of two different metallic glasses determining the ac...

In Vivo Degradation Behavior of the Magnesium Alloy LANd442 in Rabbit Tibiae

  • Berit Ullmann,
  • Janin Reifenrath,
  • Dina Dziuba,
  • Jan-Marten Seitz,
  • Dirk Bormann and
  • Andrea Meyer-Lindenberg

15 December 2011

In former studies the magnesium alloy LAE442 showed promising in vivo degradation behavior and biocompatibility. However, reproducibility might be enhanced by replacement of the rare earth composition metal “E” by only a single rare earth element. Th...
