The nickel-titanium alloy Nitinol has been used in the manufacture of endodontic instruments in recent years. Nitinol alloys have greater strength and a lower modulus of elasticity compared with stainless steel alloys. The super-elastic behaviour of Nitinol wires means that on unloading they return to their original shape following deformation. These properties are of interest in endodontology ...

Medical staples are one of the nitinol shape memory alloys applications which their pedicles have to be bent for suitable function with an appropriate angle at a specified temperature .It is achievable by shape memory effect. For this purpose, samples of nitinol super elastic alloys were bent in a steel mold with different angles & formed orthopedic staples. Then shape memory effect was induced...

This study evaluated the effects of metal primers on the bonding of adhesive resin to four pure metals (Au, Pd, Ag, Cu) and two noble alloys for porcelain fusing (high-gold and high-palladium content alloys). Bonding surface was polished with 600-grit silicon carbide paper and primed with one of the three metal primers (V-Primer, Metaltite, and M.L. Primer). Bonded specimens were fabricated by ...

5 wt % Co, are of both theoretical research and practical interest due to the anomalous codeposition behavior, the preferential deposition of less noble metal, and to the material's low coefficient of thermal expansion, CTE. A better understanding of anomalous codeposition allows for controlling the deposition rates of individual Fe, Ni, and Co metal during codeposition and hence the compositio...

Shape memory alloys have attracted much attention due to their attractive properties for applications as well as their basic aspects of deformation and transformation in structural and magnetic behavior. In 1951, the Au–Cd alloy was discovered [1]. After that, numberless shape memory alloys have been developed. A lot of applications of shape memory alloys were realized after the Ti–Ni alloy was...

WEDM is one of the important variants of electrical discharge machining (EDM) which uses the thermal energy generated between the electrodes for machining the electrically conducive materials. This method has been successfully implemented in common materials like aluminum, stainless steel etc., But its application in super alloys like Ti6Al4V is still under investigations. This paper reviews th...

are compared with the experimental results. In these test results the shape memory alloys behavior as: super elasticity under various temperatures, loading rate effects, asymmetry in tension and pressure, various loops of loading and unloading, hydrostatic pressure effects, different proportional tension-shear biaxial loading and unloading, and also deviation from normality due to non-proportio...
