Although fluoride induces corrosion in titanium in an oral environment, the influence of protein on this corrosion remains to be clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate suppression of fluoride-induced corrosion of titanium where albumin was either present in a solution or where albumin was preadsorbed on titanium. Titanium dissolution in titanium specimens and surface characte...

There are very few reports on hypersensitivity reactions in association with titanium-based materials so that the existence of allergy to titanium is still put in question. We report on a patient in whom impaired fracture healing and eczema localized to the perioperative area developed upon titanium-based osteosynthesis. Patch testing gave no reactions to titanium nor to nickel, chromium, or co...

Titanium (Ti) mesh plates are used as a bone replacement in brain tumor surgeries. In the case of radiotherapy, these plates might interfere with the beam path. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of titanium mesh on the dose distribution of electron fields. Simulations were performed using Monte Carlo BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc codes for 6 and 10 MeV electron beams. In Monte Carlo s...

Titanium particles generated from orthopedic and dental implants are suspected to play an important role in peri-implant osteolysis. Elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the effects of titanium particles on osteolysis may provide methods for preventing osteolysis. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the effect of titanium particles on osteoclast activity in vitro. We evaluated...

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a novel technique for elemental analysis based on laser-generated plasma. In this technique, laser pulses are applied for ablation of the sample, resulting in the vaporization and ionization of sample in hot plasma which is finally analyzed by the spectrometer. The elements are identified by their unique spectral signatures. LIBS system was develop...

The object of research is the melting technology a complex titanium-containing ferroalloy by single-stage slagfree carbothermal method using high-ash coals as reducing agent. ilmenite concentrate (Shokash deposit, Aktobe region, Kazakhstan), rich titanium slag, which was obtained scientists Chemical and Metallurgical Institute named after Zh. Abishev (Karaganda, well coal agent were used charge...

Estimation of ore reserves is one of the most critical aspects of mining geology. The accurate assessment of the tonnage and grade of run of mine may be the difference between a healthy profitable operation and an expensive early mine closure. The first step in ore reserve estimation is to determine the boundary of ore body or ore/waste contacts. This paper presents a specific mining applicatio...
