Abstract:Circular economy models emphasize material repair, akin to nature’s healing processes. However, while polymer healing has garnered attention, repairing metals and metal matrix composites (MMCs) remains less extensively studied. Here, we introduce “Localized Electrochemical Repair (LER),” a process adept at efficiently mending conductive materials. LER involves a nozzle with electrolyte near damage, creating a small electrochemical cell that guides controlled metal ion deposition. Notably, LER’s energy efficien… Show more
