Abstract—In the present work, the alloy of Bismuth-lead is prepared on the basis of percentage of molecular weight 9:1, 5:5 and 1:9 ratios and grown by ZoneRefining Technique under a vacuum atmosphere. The EDAX of these samples are done and the results are reported. Micro hardness test has been used as an alternative test for measuring material’s tensile properties. The effect of temperature an...

Rene-80 nickel-base superalloy as an alloy for production of the jet turbine blades shows high mechanical properties as well as microstructure stability during the high temperature engine operation. In this research, age hardening heat treatment cycle was done on the as-cast Rene-80 superalloy. In the following, microstructure, elemental analysis of phases and macro-hardness of the alloy before...

INTRODUCTION The hardness of denture base materials may undergo changes due to continued polymerization reaction and water uptake. However, the extent to which these processes affect the hardness of materials is still unclear. OBJECTIVE In this study, the degree of conversion of two hard chair-side reline resins (Duraliner II-D and Kooliner-K) and one heat-cured acrylic resin (Lucitone 550-L)...

stress relieving is a common practice among manufacturing codes for reducing the magnitude ofresidual stresses in welded, quenched, and tempered steel structures and pressure vessels. the presentwork investigates the effect of stress relieving at 480, 560, 620, and 680°c on the microstructure andmechanical properties of 20 mm astm a517 gr. b steel plate weldments produced by shielded metal arcw...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Bonding failure between acrylic resin and soft liner material and also gradual loss of soft liner resiliency over time are two impending challenges frequently recognized with a denture base embraced with a resilient liner. Since patients drink various beverages, it is crucial to assess the influences of these beverages on physical characteristics of soft liners. PURPO...

In this research work, the influence of higher surface hardness on the fretting fatigue life of hard anodized aerospace AL7075-T6 alloy was investigated. An optimization of the parameters of hard anodized Al7075-T6 alloy to obtain higher surface hardness was presented. Confirmation test was carried out to show the improvement after using the best parameter combination attained from the optimiza...

Global optimization process can often be divided into two subprocesses: exploration and exploitation. The tradeoff between exploration and exploitation (T:Er&Ei) is crucial in search and optimization, having a great effect on global optimization performance, e.g., accuracy and convergence speed of optimization algorithms. In this paper, definitions of exploration and exploitation are first give...

AIM To evaluate the effect of successive cycles of disinfection in different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and the Vickers hardness of two layers of acrylic resin (base-BL and enamel-EL) of two commercial cross-linked artificial teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 60 acrylic resin denture posterior teeth (Trilux-TLX and SR Orthosit PE-SRO) embedded in autopolyme...

Aim The aim of this study is to compare and to evaluate effect of curing light and curing modes on the nanohybrid composite resins with conventional Bis-GMA and novel tricyclodecane (TCD) monomers. Methodology Two nanohybrid composites, IPS empress direct and charisma diamond were used in this study. Light-emitting diode (LED)-curing unit and quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH)-curing unit which we...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sports and energy drinks on the surface hardness of different restorative materials over a 6-month period. Forty-two disk-shaped specimens were prepared for each of the four restorative materials tested: Compoglass F, Filtek Z250, Filtek Supreme, and Premise. Specimens were immersed for 2 min daily, up to 6 months, in six storage solutions...
