In the present study, the presence of brass mesh on the bond strength of aluminum (AA1050) strips in the cold roll bonding process was investigated. The influence of various process parameters including reduction in thickness, pre-rolling annealing, initial thickness of the strips, and post-rolling annealing was also considered. After cold roll bonding process, peeling test was carried out and ...

the effect of nanoparticle diamond incorporated in an experimental dental adhesive formulation is valuated by examining the mechanical properties and shear bond strength of the system. diamond nanoparticles were incorporated into the dentin adhesive system in different concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 weight percentages. the suspensions were ultrasonicated to facilitate the nan...

Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a kind of concrete that made of lightweight aggregates or gas bubbles. These aggregates could be natural or artificial, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight concrete is the most interesting lightweight concrete and has good mechanical properties. Bulk density of this kind of concrete is between 300-2000 kg/m3. In this paper flexural strength of EPS is modeled...

background: bonding of molar tubes is becoming more popular in orthodontics. occasionally, these bonding are done on posterior porcelain crowns or bridges. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of buccal tubes on feldspathic porcelain crowns with two different methods. materials and methods: forty porcelain right molar crowns were fabricated for this study. the crown...

The application of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) on top normal-strength (NSC) is a practical rehabilitation approach to maintaining degraded and damaged members. However, successful repair operation consequent adequate performance are very much dependent the ability interface between UHPC NSC present superior bonding under various surface conditions. Consequently, predicting strength b...

Modern cementing techniques aim to improve the interlock between bone and cement and to establish a durable interface. Cement penetration is generally believed to influence interface failure, but current methods for improving the cement-bone interface are inadequate. Oscillation is the reciprocated movement of an object through its balanced position, or the quantum physics of systematic fluctua...

Background & Aims: Repair of defective restoration is more conservative than replacing it. Veneering the amalgam restorations with opaque resin materials can satisfy the esthetic demands. Evaluation of interfacial bond quality between amalgam and composite surface is one of the important factors in assessing the quality of repaired amalgam which can be achieved...

A method of testing the tensile strength of the porcelain-gold bond has been developed. Tensile strengths of the bond are improved primarily by the formation of an oxide layer on the gold before baking the porcelain and not by the degree of gross surface roughness. The oxide layer may act either as a transition ayer or i t may create microsurface roughness. The gross surface roughness probably ...
