in order to increase the life span of implants, coatings such as bioglass are applied on implants' surfaces to prevent their corrosion in biological fluids. in this research, 45s5 bioglass coatings were applied on 316l stainless steel substrate by sol- gel method and coating's properties were examined by different analyses. according to the xrd results, an amorphous compound containing na2ca2si...

Volume 3 • Issue 4 • 1000e108 J Nanomed Nanotechol ISSN:2157-7439 JNMNT an open access journal For centuries, metals and alloys have been used in substitution for anatomical structures owing to their extraordinary mechanical properties [1]. Type 316L Stainless Steel (SS) is known to be widely used for implantation purposes in orthopedic surgery due to its corrosion resistance, effective cost an...

The corrosion behavior of TiN coated 316L stainless steel in an artificial physiological solution was investigated by means of an electrochemical test. Two different PVD methods were used for film deposition: cathodic arc and reactive magnetron sputtering. The dependence of the corrosion resistance on the main deposition parameters (nitrogen pressure, substrate bias) was analyzed. For a better ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the microchemical and surface composition of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plates before and after explantation. SAMPLE POPULATION 7 TPLO plates surgically removed from host dogs 6 to 54 months after implantation; 2 raw unpolished-and-unpassivated 316L TPLO plates; and 2 heat-treated, polished-and-passivated, and cleaned 316L TPLO plates. PROCEDURES Samples...

Grey relational analysis is useful for the multi-input, discrete data and uncertain experimental study. Developed in this paper is the application of the grey relational analysis for optimizing the electropolishing of 316L stainless steel with multiple performance characteristics. The processing parameters (temperature, current density, and electrolyte composition) are optimized with considerat...

The local electrochemical properties of galvanic corrosion for three coupled metals in a desalination plant were investigated with three wire-beam electrodes as wire sensors: aluminum brass (HAl77-2), titanium (TA2), and 316L stainless steel (316L SS). These electrodes were used with artificial seawater at different temperatures. The potential and current-density distributions of the three-meta...

Stainless steel 316L has widely used as bioimplants in cranial plates, dental implants, bone fracture fixation, prothestic joints. However, low wear resistance, in some cases susceptibility to pitting and crevice corrosion in body environment and release of toxic ions from the surface are the basic disadvantages which this material prone to be. It has still applied as a temporary biomaterial du...

The microstructure of 8 mm diameter wire produced by the severe deformation of 316L austenitic stainless steel has been examined using TEM and X-ray diffraction. The deformation imparted amounts to a true strain of 6.3. Data from previous studies on strain induced transformation of this steel have been combined with new results to show that true strains .2 are required in order to observe mecha...

In the present research, friction stir welding (FSW) process was used for butt joining of pure copper plate to 316L stainless steel plate. Mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of the joint were evaluated by microhardness and tensile tests as well as optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that microstructure of the weld nugget (WN) has fine grains where...

In this study, a porous oxide layer was formed on the surface of 316L stainless steel (SS) by combining Ti magnetron sputtering and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with the aim to produce a polymer-free drug carrier for drug eluting stent (DES) applications. The oxidation was performed galvanostatically in Na3PO4 electrolyte. The surface porosity, average pore size and roughness varied with...
