The structural hierarchy and stereochemistry have been considered for 24 titanium disilicate minerals that contain the TS (Titanium Silicate) block, a central trioctahedral (O) sheet, and two adjacent (H) sheets of [5]and [6]-coordinated polyhedra and (Si2O7) groups. The TS block is characterized by a planar cell based on translation vectors t1 and t2, with t1 ≈ 5.5 and t2 ≈ 7 Å, and t1 t2 clos...

Because of their inherent low ductility, TiAl-based materials are difficult to fabricate, especially thin gage titanium gamma aluminide (TiAl) sheet and foil. In this paper, an innovative powder metallurgy approach for producing cost-effective thin gage TiAl sheets (with 356 mm long and 235 mm wide, and a thickness of 0.74, 1.09, 1.55, and 2.34 mm, respectively) is presented. The microstructure...

Periodontal regeneration is an important part of regenerative medicine, with great clinical significance; however, the effects of nanotopography on the functions of periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells (PDLSCs) and on PDLSC sheet based periodontal regeneration have never been explored. Titania nanotubes (NTs) layered on titanium (Ti) provide a good platform to study this. In the current study,...

The effects of the thickness (t), grain size (d), ratio t/d, and tensile direction on properties were carefully examined using ASTM grade 1 pure titanium having a strong B texture with controlled (0.2–0.4 mm), (20–175 µm), t/d (2.3–19.4). 0.2%-proof stress followed Hall-Petch relationship in each regardless thickness, this indicates that does not depend t/d. On other hand, strength uniform elon...

Extensive sternal resection carries the risk of difficult reconstruction and surgical complications. A 79-year-old woman underwent sternal resection and reconstruction for sternal chondrosarcoma. However, 18 months after the first operation, she developed six metastatic tumors on the anterior chest wall. She underwent subtotal sternectomy and rib resection, leaving a defect measuring 17 × 14 cm...

a floating polymer-supported photocatalyst based on polystyrene impregnated with titaniumdioxide particles was developed using a facile solvent-cast method at ambient temperature. the preparedphotocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy. the photocatalytic activity of the developed photocatalysts was investigated...

a low carbon al-killed ti-added steel was produced in mobarakeh steel complex in iran. mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. it was found that the addition of small amounts of ti increased ...

The intergranular corrosion susceptibility of ferritic stainless-steel weldments is strongly dependent on chromium carbide precipitation phenomena. Hence, stabilization widely used to mitigate the aforementioned precipitation. In contrast, has proved ineffective fully prevent due segregation unreacted during solid-state heat-treatments. To analyze behavior 17 wt.-% stainless steels laser weldin...
