Abstract
In the cardiovascular field, coating containing copper used to catalyze NO (nitric oxide) production on non-degradable metal surfaces have shown unparalleled expected performance, but there are few studies on biodegradable metal surfaces. Magnesium-based biodegradable metals have been applied in cardiovascular field in large-scale because of their excellent properties. In this study, the coating of copper loaded in silk fibroin is fabricated on biodegradable ZE21B alloy. Importantly, the different content of copper is set to investigate the effects of on the degradation performance and cell behavior of magnesium alloy. Through electrochemical and immersion experiments, it is found that high content of copper will accelerate the corrosion of magnesium alloy. The reason is the spontaneous micro-batteries between copper and magnesium with the different standard electrode potentials, that is, the galvanic corrosion accelerates the corrosion of magnesium alloy. Moreover, the coating formed through silk fibroin by the right amount copper not only have a protective effect on the ZE21B alloy substrate, but also promotes the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells in blood vessel micro-environment. The production of NO catalyzed by copper ions makes this trend more significant, and inhibits the excessive proliferation of smooth muscle cells. These findings can provide guidance for the amount of copper in the coating on the surface of biodegradable magnesium alloy used for cardiovascular stent purpose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A range of different chemical interactions can generate an unexpected electronic current in a process called galvanism. Oral galvanism (OG) can also be generated by different chemical actions from diverse intraoral rehabilitated metals, including gold, copper, mercury, titanium, and titanium alloy. The main aim of this manuscript is to review OG, particularly focusing on titanium implants and related metallic materials. We searched the MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases for relevant literature published through December 2019. The keywords included "galvanic current", "galvanism", "galvanic corrosion", "oral galvanism", combined with "oral", "oral cavity", "implant", and "saliva." RESULTS Out of 343 articles, 126 articles that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. We examined and summarized research on OG through a division into four categories: definition and symptoms, diagnosis with testing methods, galvanic corrosion, and oral precancerous lesions with OG. CONCLUSIONS Patients with OG have high oral energy and current, and although this phenomenon may be due to the patient's mental illness, OG due to amalgam or mercury occurs. It is evident that the difference in electron potential caused by different elemental components such as titanium alloy and pure titanium, which are essential for manufacturing the implant fixture and the abutment, and chrome and nickel, which are essential for manufacturing the upper crown, causes OG. Since the oral cavity is equipped with an environment in which electric current can be transmitted easily due to saliva, it is imperative that clinicians review the systemic and local effects of salivation.

Abstract
Galvanic corrosion is one of the main reasons for pipe degradation and lead contamination in drinking water systems. The electrical connection of dissimilar metals in corrosive tap water accelerates the dissolution rate of lead from leaded materials. This paper reports an electrochemistry based model to predict lead leaching from a copper pipe fitted with leaded connections. The corrosion of lead at the metal-electrolyte interface depends on the charge transfer and the electric field across the interface. The electric potential field and the mass transport process are dynamically coupled for corrosion propagation in stagnant water; they are respectively governed by the conservation of charge and reactant mass. Using polarization parameters for the electrodes as a function of concentration of oxidizing agents, a dynamic electrochemical model is developed to predict lead leaching from galvanic corrosion. The predicted lead and copper leaching curves are in good agreement with the experimental data for a lead-soldered coupled copper pipe, a brass valve coupled copper pipe, and a pure copper pipe. The findings offer a quantitative understanding on galvanic corrosion in drinking water supply systems and a practical modeling framework for prediction of lead leaching in tap water as a function of stagnation time.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn)-based metals and alloys are emerging as promising biodegradable implant materials due to their inherent biodegradability and good biocompatibility. However, this class of materials exhibits low mechanical strength and a slow degradation rate, which hinders their clinical application. Here we report the development of a new biodegradable Fe/Zn-3Cu composite fabricated by infiltration casting of a Zn-3Cu alloy into an Fe foam followed by hot-rolling. Our results indicate that the hot-rolled (HR) Fe/Zn-3Cu composite exhibited an α-Zn matrix phase, a secondary CuZn5 phase, and an α-Fe phase. The HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 269 MPa, a tensile yield strength of 210 MPa, and an elongation of 27%. The HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite showed a degradation rate of 228 µm/year after immersion in Hanks' solution for 30 d The diluted extract of the HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite exhibited a higher cell viability than that of the HR Zn-3Cu alloy in relation to MC3T3-E1 and MG-63 cells. Furthermore, the HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite showed significantly better antibacterial ability than that of the HR Zn-3Cu alloy in relation to S. aureus. Overall, the HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite can be anticipated to be a promising biodegradable implant material for bone-fixation applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This work reports a new biodegradable Fe/Zn-3Cu composite fabricated by infiltration casting and followed by hot-rolling for biodegradable bone-fixation application. Our findings demonstrated that the hot-rolled (HR) Fe/Zn-3Cu composite exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 269.1 MPa, a tensile yield strength of 210.3 MPa, and an elongation of 26.7%. HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite showed a degradation rate of 227.6 µm/a, higher than HR Zn-3Cu alloy after immersion in Hanks' solution for 30 d The diluted extracts of the HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite exhibited a higher cell viability than HR Zn-3Cu alloy toward MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, the HR Fe/Zn-3Cu composite showed significantly better antibacterial ability than the HR Zn-3Cu alloy toward S. aureus.

Abstract
Methylated arsenic species are ubiquitous in the environment and resistant to removal by conventional treatment technologies. This study addressed this challenge based on the examination of the removal of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in a system that combines zerovalent iron (ZVI) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). The removal of DMA in the ZVI/PAC system was compared to that by coagulation, adsorption, electrochemical and Fenton oxidations, and other conventional methods. While only the electrochemical oxidation using a PbO2/Sb-SnO2/Ti anode allowed removing up to 60% DMA at several hours-long treatment times, the removal of DMA in the ZVI/PAC system containing 10 g/L ZVI and 2.5 g/L PAC with an initial pH of 2.0 was 95% for a 30 min reaction time. Specific roles of PAC, ZVI and its oxidation products in DMA removal were examined based on the spectroscopic data and quantum chemical modeling for the DMA/Fe(II) and DMA/Fe(III) systems. These methods demonstrated the formation of moderately strong DMA/Fe(II) and DMA/Fe(III) complexation. These results and relevant kinetic data were interpreted to indicate that the removal of DMA is governed by the rapid generation of Fe2+ ions released as a result of accelerated ZVI corrosion in the galvanic ZVI/PAC microcells and ensuing formation of DMA/ Fe2+ complexes that are readily adsorbed by PAC.

Abstract
The low reactivity of zero-valent iron (ZVI) usually limits its application for pollutant remediation. Therefore, a microscopic galvanic cell (mGC) with short-circuited cathode and anode was synthesized to intensify its galvanic corrosion. The prepared mGC exhibited 7.14 times higher Fe(II) release performance than ordinary nanoscale-ZVI (nZVI), rendering efficient Cr(VI) removal performance. Density functional theory (DFT) revealed mutual-activation of the cathode and anode due to close proximity, dramatically enhancing the galvanic corrosion of Fe(0) in mGC. The corrosion potential of mGC was measured as -0.77 V, which was 100 mV more negative than nZVI. The released electrons and surface-bond Fe(II) from anode in mGC was proved to be the dominant reductive species. More importantly, Cr(VI) reduction was slightly inhibited by hydroxyl radicals generated by a series of inherent side-reactions in the system, which could be well eliminated by low concentrations of 4-acetamido phenol. This study provides a promising strategy for ZVI activation, and sheds light on its environmental applications.

Abstract
In the recent decades, zinc (Zn) and its alloys have been drawing attention as promising candidates for bioresorbable cardiovascular stents due to its degradation rate more suitable than magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe) alloys. However, its mechanical properties need to be improved in order to meet the criteria for vascular stents. This work investigates the mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility of Zn-Mg and Zn-Cu alloys in order to determine a proper alloy composition for optimal stent performance. Nanoindentation measurements are performed to characterize the mechanical properties at the nanoscale as a function of the Zn microstructure variations induced by alloying. The biodegradation mechanisms are discussed and correlated to microstructure, mechanical performance and bacterial/cell response. Addition of Mg or Cu alloying elements refined the microstructure of Zn and enhanced yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) proportional to the volume fraction of secondary phases. Zn-1Mg showed the higher YS and UTS and better performance in terms of degradation stability in Hanks' solution. Zn-Cu alloys presented an antibacterial effect for S. aureus controlled by diffusion mechanisms and by contact. Biocompatibility was dependent on the degradation rate and the nature of the corrosion products.

Abstract
Accelerated reliability testing of integrated circuit (IC) packages, such as wire-bonded devices, is a useful tool for predicting the lifetime corrosion behavior of real-world devices. Standard tests, such as highly accelerated stress test, involves subjecting an encapsulated device to high levels of humidity and high temperature (commonly 85–121 ⁰C and 85–100% relative humidity). A major drawback of current reliability tests is that mechanistic information of what occurs between t = 0 and device failure is not captured. A novel method of in-situ investigation of the device corrosion process was developed to capture the real time mechanistic information not obtained in standard reliability testing [1]. The simple, yet effective methodology involves:Immersing a micropattern or device directly into contaminant-spiked aqueous solution, and observing its morphological changes under optical microscope paired with a camera. Short (2–48 h) time required for testing (compared to 24–300 h of standard tests). No need for humidity chambers.

Abstract
The Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) is one of the sustainable methods of environmental remediation for groundwater treatment. On using iron as reactive media for PRBs, the longevity of the column is affected by the accumulation of iron corrosion products resulting in permeability reduction. Hence, in this work, iron and zinc are employed as sacrificial metals to remove 50 mg/L As(V) from aqueous solution in an oxic environment, where copper is added as a noble metal. The iron-based system followed first-order reaction kinetics with rate constants -1.65 × 10-3 min-1 for iron and 2.95 × 10-3 min-1 for copper-iron. The zinc-based system followed second-order reaction kinetics with rate constants - 1.26 × 10-4 L.mg-1.min-1for zinc and 4.67 × 10-4 L.mg-1.min-1 for copper-zinc. The half-life was computed to be 420.1, 234.9. 171.1, and 46.6 min for Fe, Cu‒Fe, Zn, and Cu‒Zn. The constant supply of adsorption sites is ensured by the continuous generation of corrosion products by sacrificial metals on galvanically coupling with copper. The effectiveness of arsenic retention can be in the order: Cu‒Zn > Cu‒Fe > Zn > Fe. Among the studied systems, the copper-zinc system can be suggested as the best possible reactive media for PRB in arsenic remediation of groundwater.

Abstract
A process for recycling Ni2+ in Ni-plating wastewater was investigated. This study employed Mg alloy flash waste to reduce the Ni2+ in the wastewater into metallic Ni. Fine second-phase Mg17Al12 in a network is the critical point for promoting the reduction reaction of Ni2+. The microstructures of the Mg alloy flash scrap and the die-cast Mg alloy scrap waste fulfilled the requirement. The Mg17Al12 is like a catalyst for the quick reduction of the Ni2+ ions into pure Ni metal. Contrarily, pure Mg (not containing Mg17Al12 particles) and gravity-cast AZ91D Mg alloy (having coarse Mg17Al12 particles) were not suitable for being used for the Ni2+ wastewater treatment. Based on the above results and discussion, using the Mg alloy flash scrap waste for treating the laboratory-made Ni2+-containing wastewater, the wastewater initially with ∼5600 ppm of Ni2+ ions could be reduced to ∼20 ppm in 2 h. When applying the Mg alloy flash scrap for the Ni plating wastewater from industry, the concentration of Ni2+ was able to be reduced from ∼16,670 ppm to ∼1434 ppm in 10 min for the wastewater at 90 °C.

Abstract
Lead pipe has been banned in the drinking water distribution system in most countries since 1980s. Although water authorities around the world have attempted to replace all remaining lead pipes in service, pipe replacement was often hindered by high cost and lack of access to private premises. Hence, partial replacement has become a common scenario where portions of lead pipes remain in the system. When the lead pipe is connected to two other different metallic materials at both ends, two different galvanic couples can form simultaneously in this three-metal system. The release of lead resulting from galvanic corrosion in such three-metal systems consisting of lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and stainless steel (SS) with three different configurations, namely Cu-SS-Pb, SS-Cu-Pb and Cu-Pb-SS was investigated in this study. The results showed that when the materials are arranged in order of reduction potential as in SS-Cu-Pb configuration, lead release was the highest. A more fluent electron transport across the system was proposed based on the direction and magnitude of galvanic currents measured at each galvanic couple.

Abstract
Iron- and/or manganese-supported catalysts on granular activated carbons (Fe and/or Mn/GACs) were prepared, and their catalytic activities were evaluated by using them to treat phenol and secondary petrochemical effluent via ozonation. The presence of Fe and/or Mn/GACs significantly improved the degradation and degree of phenol mineralization. Changes in dissolved ozone concentrations and the effects of carbonate and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) indicated that the prepared catalyst enhanced the decomposition of ozone into hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which was determined to be a key factor in catalyzing the ozonation of phenol. Typical intermediate products were identified by GC-MS and HPLC analysis, and a possible degradation pathway of phenol via catalytic ozonation was proposed. The results of XPS, CV, and other experimental data indicated that introducing Fe and/or Mn increased the rate of ozone decomposition into ·OH, and also enhanced the interfacial electron transfer by Fe2+-Fe3+ and Mn2+-Mn3+-Mn4+ redox cycles, resulting in higher catalytic activity. However, the Fe-Mn/GAC surface was shown to undergo galvanic corrosion between Fe3O4 and MnO2, decreasing the catalytic activity. In addition, catalytic ozonation was used to treat secondary petrochemical effluent. The results demonstrated that the Mn/GAC/O3 system significantly improved the quality of phenol-containing wastewater in terms of its COD, TOC, NH4+-N, water color, and ecotoxicity. This study gives a better understanding of the phenol treatment by catalytic ozonation using Fe and/or Mn/GAC.

Abstract
In the present work, the corrosion behavior of a bi-stent combination, which is the combination of an uncoated outer stent and silicone-coated body stent, was assessed by the use of electrochemical methods in phosphate-buffered saline at 37 °C. Although each stent comprising the bi-stent combination showed favorable corrosion properties, the bi-stent combination showed significant decreases in these corrosion properties. Corrosion was concentrated on the uncoated outer stent of the bi-stent combination. The cathodic reaction was activated on the outer stent of the bi-stent combination by the galvanic effect, and the hydrogen generated was detrimental to the surface film on the outer stent. In addition, hydrogen had a synergic effect with chloride and accelerated the corrosion reaction on the outer stent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this research was to assess galvanic behavior of lingual orthodontic brackets coupled with representative types of orthodontic wires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of lingual brackets: Incognito (INC), In-Ovation L (IOV), and STb (STB) were combined with a stainless steel (SS) and a nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic archwire. All materials were initially investigated by scanning electron microscopy / x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) while wires were also tested by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). All bracket-wire combinations were immersed in acidic 0.1M NaCl 0.1M lactic acid and neutral NaF 0.3% (wt) electrolyte, and the potential differences were continuously recorded for 48 hours. RESULTS The SEM/EDX analysis revealed that INC is a single-unit bracket made of a high gold (Au) alloy while IOV and STB are two-piece appliances in which the base and wing are made of SS alloys. The SS wire demonstrated austenite and martensite iron phase, while NiTi wire illustrated an intense austenite crystallographic structure with limited martensite. All bracket wire combinations showed potential differences below the threshold of galvanic corrosion (200 mV) except for INC and STB coupled with NiTi wire in NaF media. CONCLUSIONS The electrochemical results indicate that all brackets tested demonstrated galvanic compatibility with SS wire, but fluoride treatment should be used cautiously with NiTi wires coupled with Au and SS brackets.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation provides a promising alternative in the degradation of recalcitrant contaminants. CuxO-Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CuxFeO NPs, both Cu(I) and Cu(II) were contained, about 70 nm) were creatively synthesized using Fe(0) as the precursor and subsequently employed as the ozonation catalyst for dimethyl phthalate (DMP) degradation. Results showed that DMP degradation by O3/CuxFeO was significantly faster than those ozonation catalyzed by CuO, Fe3O4, or mixture of CuO and Fe3O4 (1:1 M ratio), which was ascribed to the unique CuxFeO NPs that composed of abundant structural Cu(I) (≡Cu(I)). It was among the first revealing the synergistic effect between ≡Cu(I) and surface lattice oxygen (O2-) in HO· generation, resulting in rapid DMP degradation kinetics and high mineralization efficiency. Besides the generation of ≡Cu(I), galvanic corrosion between Fe(0) and Cu(II) also generated structural Fe(II), which could reduce the ≡Cu(II) back to ≡Cu(I), thus compensating the electron loss of ≡Cu(I) and finally obtaining a high-efficiency cycling between ≡Cu(II) and ≡Cu(I). The DMP degradation pathway was introduced based on the intermediates detected. By regulating the (re)-generation of low-valent metal (≡Cu(I)), this study provides an innovative strategy to significantly promote the generation of HO· in catalytic ozonation, which might be promising for advanced wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Two unlike metals near one another can break down as they move toward electrochemical equilibrium resulting in galvanic corrosion. We describe a case of electrochemical corrosion resulting in pseudarthrosis, followed by instrumentation failure leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage. A 53-year-old female with a history of cervical instability and two separate prior cervical fusion surgery with sublaminar cables presented with new onset severe neck pain. Restricted range of motion in her neck and bilateral Hoffman's was noted. X-ray of her cervical spine was negative. A noncontrast CT scan of her head and neck showed subarachnoid hemorrhage in the prepontine and cervicomedullary cisterns. Neurosurgical intervention involved removal of prior stainless steel and titanium cables, repair of cerebrospinal fluid leak, and nonsegmental C1–C3 instrumented fusion. She tolerated the surgery well and followed up without complication. Galvanic corrosion of the Brook's fusion secondary to current flow between dissimilar metal alloys resulted in catastrophic instrumentation failure and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
Partial lead service line replacements (PLSLR) were simulated using five recirculating pipe loops treated with either zinc orthophosphate (1mg/L as P), orthophosphate (1mg/L as P) or sodium silicate (10mg/L). Two pipe loops served as inhibitor-free (Pb-Cu) and galvanic free (Pb-PVC) controls. Changes in water quality (CSMR [0.2 or 1], conductivity [330mS/cm or 560mS/cm], chlorine [1.4mg/L]) were not observed to provide a significant impact on lead or copper release, although galvanic corrosion was shown to be a driving factor. Generally, both orthophosphate and zinc orthophosphate provided better corrosion control for both total and dissolved lead (30min, 6h, 65h) and copper (30min, 6h), when compared to either the inhibitor-free control or the sodium silicate treated system. This work highlights the importance of understanding the complex interplay of corrosion inhibitors on particulate and dissolved species when considering both lead and copper.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether the Noble Bond® Argen® alloy was electrochemically suitable for the manufacturing of prosthetic superstructures over commercially pure titanium (c.p. Ti) implants. Also, the electrolytic corrosion effects over three types of materials used on prosthetic suprastructures that were coupled with titanium implants were analysed: Noble Bond® (Argen®), Argelite 76sf +® (Argen®), and commercially pure titanium. Materials and Methods: 15 samples were studied, consisting in 1 abutment and one c.p. titanium implant each. They were divided into three groups, namely: Control group: five c.p Titanium abutments (B&W®), Test group 1: five Noble Bond® (Argen®) cast abutments and, Test group 2: five Argelite 76sf +® (Argen®) abutments. In order to observe the corrosion effects, the surface topography was imaged using a confocal microscope. Thus, three metric parameters (Sa: Arithmetical mean height of the surface. Sp: Maximum height of peaks. Sv: Maximum height of valleys.), were measured at three different areas: abutment neck, implant neck and implant body. The samples were immersed in artificial saliva for 3 months, after which the procedure was repeated. The metric parameters were compared by statistical analysis. Results: The analysis of the Sa at the level of the implant neck, abutment neck and implant body, showed no statistically significant differences on combining c.p. Ti implants with the three studied alloys. The Sp showed no statistically significant differences between the three alloys. The Sv showed no statistically significant differences between the three alloys. Conclusion: The effects of electrogalvanic corrosion on each of the materials used when they were in contact with c.p. Ti showed no statistically significant differences.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate cell toxicity due to ion release caused by galvanic corrosion as a result of contact between base metal and titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was hypothesized that Nickel (Ni)-Chromium (Cr) alloys with different compositions possess different corrosion resistances when contacted with titanium abutment, and therefore in this study, specimens (10×10×1.5 mm) were fabricated using commercial pure titanium and 3 different types of Ni-Cr alloys (T3, Tilite, Bella bond plus) commonly used for metal ceramic restorations. The specimens were divided into 6 groups according to the composition of Ni-Cr alloy and contact with titanium. The experimental groups were in direct contact with titanium and the control groups were not. After the samples were immersed in the culture medium - Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium[DMEM] for 48 hours, the released metal ions were detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test (P<.05). Mouse L-929 fibroblast cells were used for cell toxicity evaluation. The cell toxicity of specimens was measured by the 3-{4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl}-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. Results of MTT assay were statistically analyzed by the two-way ANOVA test (P<.05). Post-hoc multiple comparisons were conducted using Tukey's tests. RESULTS The amount of metal ions released by galvanic corrosion due to contact between the base metal alloy and titanium was increased in all of the specimens. In the cytotoxicity test, the two-way ANOVA showed a significant effect of the alloy type and galvanic corrosion for cytotoxicity (P<.001). The relative cell growth rate (RGR) was decreased further on the groups in contact with titanium (P<.05). CONCLUSION The release of metal ions was increased by galvanic corrosion due to contact between base metal and titanium, and it can cause adverse effects on the tissue around the implant by inducing cytotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the risk of galvanic corrosion in various stent-grafts in current practice, when devices with unmatched alloy compositions are deployed together. METHOD Five nitinol (NT) and two steel (SS) stent-grafts produced by different companies were used in different combinations to create 21 samples (NT:NT, n = 10; NT:SS, n = 10; SS:SS, n = 1). Electric potential was measured between the metal couplings after immersion in 0.9% NaCl at a temperature of 37 °C. Subsequently, the same samples were incubated for 24 months in 0.9% NaCl at 37-39 °C under hermetic conditions and examined under a scanning electron microscope in order to search for any evidence of corrosion. RESULTS Electric potentials between different metals alloys were found (means: NT:SS, 181 μV; NT:NT, 101 μV; SS:SS, 160 μV). The mean electrical potential between stainless steel and nitinol samples was significantly higher than between NT:NT couplings (p < .001). During the final scanning electron microscope examination, only one spot of pitting corrosion (>10 μm) on a nitinol surface was found (associated with previous mechanical damage) in an NT:SS sample after 24 months of incubation in vitro and no sign of mechanical failure of the wires was found. CONCLUSION Direct contact between the stainless steel and the nitinol alloys does indeed create electrical potential but with a minimal risk of galvanic corrosion. No evidence was found for significant galvanic corrosion when two endovascular implants (stent-grafts) made from different metal composition were used in the same procedure.
