The effect of the ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on the rotary bending fretting fatigue (FF) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated. The reason for the USRP's ability to improve the FF resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. The results revealed that the USRP induced a compressive residual stress field with a depth of 530 μm and a maximum residual stress of -930 MPa. Moreover, the su...

To establish a method of determining the machinability of dental materials for CAD/CAM systems, the machinability of titanium, two titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb), and free-cutting brass was evaluated through cutting force and spindle motor current. The metals were slotted using a milling machine and square end mills at four cutting conditions. Both the static and dynamic components ...

Laser direct metal deposition (LDMD) has developed from a prototyping to a single metal manufacturing tool. Its potential for creating multimaterial and functionally graded structures is now beginning to be explored. This work is a first part of a study in which a single layer of Inconel 718 is deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrate. Single layer tracks were built at a range of powder mass flow rates...

Twenty years ago, Ajtai, Chvátal, Newborn, Szemerédi, and, independently, Leighton discovered that the crossing number of any graph with v vertices and e > 4v edges is at least ce/v, where c > 0 is an absolute constant. This result, known as the ‘Crossing Lemma,’ has found many important applications in discrete and computational geometry. It is tight up to a multiplicative constant. Here we im...

A novel ?+? titanium alloy with multi-alloying addition was designed based on the cluster formula 12[Al-Ti12](AlTi2)+5[Al-Ti14](AlV12Mo06Nb02) which derived from Ti-6Al-4V. The nominal composition of this determined as Ti-6.83Al-2.28V-2.14Mo-0.69Nb-6.79Zr. In study, and Ti-6Al-4V samples were prepared by laser additive manufacturing. microstructure, micro-hardness, room/high temperature tensile...

The current gold standard of care for mandibular segmental defeat reconstruction is the use of Ti-6Al-4V immobilization hardware and fibular double barrel graft. This method is often successful immediately at restoring mandible function, however the highly stiff fixation hardware causes stress shielding of the grafted bone and stress concentration in the fixation device over time which can lead...
