The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of using die spacers on the marginal fit of NiCr (M1) and NiCrBe (M2) alloys and commercially pure titanium (cpTi) (M3) copings cast by the lost wax technique. Using a metal matrix, 45 resin added extra hard type IV stone models were obtained for the fabrication of wax patterns under the following conditions: no die spacer (A), with one die spac...

NiCr2O4 normal spinel nanostructures were prepared via hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C for 12 h in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and poly vinylpyrrolidone-25000 (PVP-25000) as capping agents and subsequent calcination process at 500 °C for 3 h . In this method, [Ni(en)2(H2O)...

Abstract Iron-based coatings are often considered as replacement of hard chromium and WC-Co, they pose lower health environmental impact. In many cases, the combination mechanical chemical properties iron-based alloys may be satisfactory their relatively low cost makes these an interesting candidate for applications. This study is inspired by opportunities to harden iron-base materials strain h...
