Objective. The purpose of this study was to analyze the absorption of metal ions released from stainless steel crowns by root surface of primary molars. Study Design. Laboratory research: The study included 34 primary molars, exfoliated or extracted during routine dental treatment. 17 molars were covered with stainless-steel crowns for more than two years and compared to 17 intact primary molar...

Abstract Components produced by additive manufacturing (AM) via direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) have typical as-fabricated surface defects. As a result, properties of AM products should be modified to increase their strength, anti-wear behaviour, and at the same time ensure high corrosion resistance. Surface modification shot peening is considered suitable for medical devices made 17-4PH st...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quantitative effects on torque expression of varying the slot size of stainless steel orthodontic brackets and the dimension of stainless steel wire, and to analyze the limitations of the experimental methods used. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro studies measuring torque expression in conventional and self-ligating stainless steel brackets with a torque-measuring devi...

Precipitation-hardening (PH) stainless steels (SS) are widely used in various aerospace applications. These exhibit good mechanical and corrosion resistance. The electrochemical behavior of 15-5PH, 17-4PH, Custom450 AM 350 passivated with citric nitric acid baths for 60 90 min at 25 49 °C were evaluated 5 wt.% sodium chloride (NaCl) 1 sulfuric (H2SO4) solutions. was studied potentiodynamic pola...

PURPOSE Literature suggests that the lower modulus of elasticity of titanium makes it ideal for use in children compared with stainless steel. Better fracture stability was observed in association with titanium nails on torsional and axial compression testing. However, stainless steel nails are stiffer than titanium counterparts, which may provide a rigid construct when fixing paediatric femora...

Abstract By the term, lattice structures are intended topologically ordered open-celled consisting of one or more repeating unit cells. Technological development and especially growth additive manufacturing (AM) industry allows innovative structural design, including complex structure. Selective laser melting (SLM) is an AM process that enables manufacture space filling structures. This work in...

This talk presents the simple fabrication and experimental characterization of an energy-efficient hybrid anti-icing coating. The multi-layered coating consists electric heating film with a SiO2 / polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) superhydrophobic top is composed thin layer copper-based epoxy, insulated in PDMS film. was applied to 17-4PH stainless steel substrate by sequential spray-coating process....

The use of a minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) with extremely low consumption of lubricant in machining processes has been reported as a technologically and environmentally feasible alternative to conventional flood cooling. In hot machining, the external heat source is applied during machining that will assist to increase machining performance. Many external heating techniques are availabl...
