objective: the diagnosis of vertical root fracture (vrf) in endodontically treated teeth is a clinical challenge due to lack of specific clinical and radiographic signs. although radiographic evaluation such as cbct is helpful, intracanal posts can produce artifacts and may impair the quality of cbct scans. this study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of different resolutions of cbct in ...

Heat transfer in the mold is the heart of the continuous casting process and its quantitative analysis was pioneered by Keith Brimacombe. With many different processes currently competing, it is appropriate to apply modeling to investigate the theoretical limits of continuous casting speed and productivity. The heat transfer rate during solidification processes drops with time so the shell thic...

Casting has many process variations depending upon the material, the type of pattern, mould and the pouring technique like sand casting, investment casting, die casting, squeeze casting and lost foam casting. Sand casting is the most widely used process which can be used to produce intricate parts in almost every metal that can be melted. Casting defects analysis is process of finding the root ...

Frequent delays will be experienced in the start-up of molten steel on converter equipment during steelmaking–continuous casting (SCC) production process due to untimely supply iron or scrap, which may cause conflicts between adjacent heat same casting. The machine is cut off, resulting failure static scheduling plan. SCC ladle re-scheduling based premise that path remains unchanged, operation ...

The effect of casting pores on the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of a directionally solidified (DS) Ni-base superalloy DZ4 is investigated. Casting and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) specimens were subjected to very high cycle fatigue loading in an ambient atmosphere. The results demonstrated that the continuously descending S-N curves were exhibited for both the casting and HIP specime...

The article presents pr ocess application of the rapi d prototyping (RP) for manufacturing of blades of aircraft turbine in monocrystallization and also directional crystallization of casting process. It is describing the method of modelling of the chosen elements of casting model kit with the usage of RP and RT system s. The article presents the analysis of additive rapid prototyping methods (...
