The compressive creep behavior of nickel-rich B2–NiTi (with 50–140 lm grain size) was studied over the stress range 3–11 MPa and the temperature range 950–1100 C. The stress exponent (n = 2.7) and activation energy (Q = 155 kJ mol ) are compared with a literature review of NiTi creep studies performed over lower temperature and/or higher stresses. Possible explanations for discrepancies between...

background: the most favorable feature of nickel-titanium (ni-ti) alloys in orthodontics is producing constant forces in a wide deformation range. ni-ti closed coils produce compressive strength and can be used for several purposes such as space closure. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the aging process (temperature changes and prolonged strain) on ni-ti closed coils and to...

This article reviews the use of nickel-titanium rotary files for root canal instrumentation in primary teeth. The pulpectomy technique is described and the advantages and disadvantages of using rotary files are discussed. Specific recommendations for the selection of materials and devices are made.

Although contact dermatitis (CD) from eyeglass frames is uncommon, occasionally it may be encountered. Various substances may cause allergic CD, including metals, cosmetics, plastics, rubber, solvents, antioxidants, dyes, and waxes, some of which can be found in the average eyeglass frame. Recently, it has been determined that plasticizers, UV stabilizers and nickel are the most common allergen...

Metallic materials are the basis of dental materials science, which is an important part of dentistry. As a result of their good mechanical properties and some biological properties, metals are widely used in oral rehabilitation of dentition and mandibular defects, orthodontic and dental implants, as well as in the equipment for dental operations. Commonly used metals include nickel chromium, c...

This article focuses on the galvanic replacement synthesis of Ti-Ni and Zr-Ni metal systems with a “core-shell” structure, which are potential precursors for intermetallics. The authors defined effective parameters formation features polymetallic characterized by granulometric, phase, elemental composition. X-ray fluorescence phase analysis methods showed that deposition nickel dispersed titani...

Cyclic fatigue of nickel-titanium, engine-driven instruments was studied by determining the effect of canal curvature and operating speed on the breakage of Lightspeed instruments. A new method of canal curvature evaluation that addressed both angle and abruptness of curvature was introduced. Canal curvature was simulated by constructing six curved stainless-steel guide tubes with angles of cur...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare two nickel-titanium systems (rotary vs. reciprocating) for their acceptance by undergraduate students who experienced nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one sophomore dental students were first taught on manual root canal preparation with stainless-steel files. After that, they were instructed on the use o...

The origin of high energy 2P1/2 and 2P3/2 x-ray satellites of titanium, copper and Nickel dihalides has been explained using plasmon theory with a new approach by considering both extrinsic and intrinsic contribution simultaneously. Our calculation shows that satellites are due to surface plasmon excitation. We also review the existing calculations and experimental measurements.

Investigations of voltammetry zirconium deposition from DMSO solution on different substrates were taken. It was found that this is multi-electron process proceeding in a few stages. Moreover, zirconium layers were obtained on titanium, copper stainless steel and nickel. Obtained deposit was in form of white powder, which immediately was oxidized to ZrO2 in the presence of air.
