Bulk phase transformations and dislocation density were monitored in a maraging stainless steel on bulk level using in-situ neutron diffraction up to 1340 °C, i.e. 30 °C below the melting temperature. Three materials with different initial microstructure and/or composition studied: wrought, as-built SLM-ed (selective laser melted) re-austenitized SLM-ed. In contrast wrought martensitic steel, w...

driver (Figure 1), is made from stainless steel and is used to hold a suturing needle during surgical procedures. To maintain a firm grip on the needle, the jaws have textured patterns either etched directly on the stainless steel or on a replaceable tungsten carbide insert, which grips the suture needle more precisely and wears out much slower than stainless steel. Needle holders with tungsten...

Stainless steel has been employed in many engineering applications ranging from pharmaceutical equipment to piping in the nuclear reactors and storage to chemical products. In this attempt, simulation of fatigue crack growth based on experimental results of austenitic stainless steel 304L was presented using AFGROW code when NASGRO mode laws adopted. Double through crack at hole specimen is use...

Due to life-cycle costs considerations, the Federal Highway Administration has required that all their new bridge structures have a service life of more than 75 years. The practical use of adequate concrete cover, low water/cement ratio, and corrosion inhibitors and admixtures are not enough to satisfy this requirement. Corrosion still affects the reinforcing steel through the diffusion of chlo...

Purpose: The aim of the present investigation was to review and evaluate the current literature on the mini-implants in orthodontics with regard to their materials properties. The ultimate aim of biomaterials as applied to mini-implants is to serve as efficient temporary anchorage devices. The attainment of this objective is dependent upon a complex interplay of material properties, device desi...

background: one of the methods used for joining metals together is welding, which can be carried out using different techniques such as electric spot welding. this study evaluated the effect of electric spot welding on the load defl ection rate of stainless steel and chromium-cobalt orthodontic wires. materials and methods: in this experimental-laboratory study, load defl ection rate of 0.016 ×...
