Several alloys described as stainless steel which resist tarnish and corrosion in the mouth are being used for a variety of dental appliances and instruments. Probably the greatest application of stainless steel is for orthodontic arch wires and bands, while a more limited use is for temporary space maintainers and crown forms. Root-canal files and reamers designed for endodontic operations als...

In order to enhance the performance of interconnects which are used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), a protective/conductive coating can be applied. In this research AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was coated in a Mn-base pack mixture by pack cementation method. In order to evaluate the oxidation behavior, isothermal oxidation was accomplished for 200 h at 800 ºC. Electrical behavior was al...

In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...

The influences of ultrasonic vibration during cold metal transfer welding process on the microstructure, element distribution and pitting resistance AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel joints with ER 308L as filler were investigated. combined effects mechanical vibration, acoustic streaming cavitation significantly refined primary ferrite grain in weld then impacted subsequent solid-phase transit...

In this study, the effect of shallow cryogenic treatment on friction coefficient AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was investigated. The experiments were carried out in a ball-on-disc wear tester under 5 N load at 400 rpm. As result tests, study examined surface topography traces, abrasion profile, microscopic images and hardness change traces. After applying treatment, samples increased by 7.5...
