Specific metallic substrates used as implants have the probability of failure due to corrosion resulting from direct contact with body fluid. Therefore, we aim to conduct a thorough review of numerous coatings currently available to prevent the implants from corroding. The coatings that are fabricated by various techniques are discussed for their effects on mechanical behaviour. It was deduced that the mechanical behaviour relied on the microstructure of the coating surface. Different surface treatment techniques of coatings offered different microstructures to the coatings. We meticulously review the mechanical and biological behaviour of coatings and this comprehensive literature review serves as evidence that the effective fabrication of an ideal coating has remained elusive for researchers, motivating an ongoing endeavour to attain this goal. IMPACT STATEMENT We meticulously review the mechanical and biological behaviour of coatings and this comprehensive literature review serves as evidence that the effective fabrication of an ideal coating along with discussions on biological characteristics shown by composites.

Thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of L-PBF samples made by mixtures of IN939 alloy and Si powders were investigated. At temperatures above 800°C, the as-fabricated Si-doped IN939 was observed to exhibit an exceptionally high thermal conductivity, which can be attributed to the occurrence of endothermic reactions. This pseudo high thermal conductivity can effectively minimize the thermal stress and offers a potential solution to produce crack-free L-PBF parts for nonweldable alloys.

In contrast to previous reports, we show that the conventional weak stripe texture undergoes a well-defined undulation while the magnetic field is reversed to negative after in plane positive saturation. This transformation is strongly impacting the flux closure caps domains and a staggered Néel caps texture appears. Thanks to quantitative agreement with micro-magnetic simulations, we demonstrate that the existence of both the instability and the staggered Néel caps is intrinsic in negative applied field after positive in plane saturation. This reversal mode is characterized by a checker board pattern of alternating surface magnetic charges and by a longitudinal modulation of the in-plane component of magnetization similar to the oscillatory buckling reversal mode reported in elongated soft magnetic nanostructures.
