This study concerns the determination of the significant factors for an innovative deburring process: low pressure abrasive water-jet blasting. We firstly classify the abrasive medium aluminum oxide (Al2O3) according to the individual characteristics of different grain sizes. Then, the particle behavior in the air jet is analyzed with an optical measuring method, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the air powder abrasive treatment as an implant surface cleaning method for peri-implantitis based on the existing literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed search was conducted to find articles that reported on air powder abrasive treatment as an implant surface cleaning method for peri-implantitis. The studies evaluated cleaning efficiency and surface change as a resu...

During tooth bleaching abrasive dentifrices might change the outer superficial enamel. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the roughness of human enamel exposed to a 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching agent at different times and submitted to different superficial cleaning treatments. The study consisted of 60 sound human enamel slabs, randomly assigned to different treatment groups: G...

This paper presents the effect of selected parameters of abrasive blasting on the strength of a joint between dental porcelain and metal base. Experiments were conducted for different grain sizes of abrasive material and different blasting angles, with a constant blasting pressure. InLine dental porcelain was fused on samples of cobalt-chromium alloy following abrasive blasting; they were subse...

OBJECTIVE This study was intended to optimize perlite particle size and morphology for better tooth cleaning and lower tooth abrasion, and to evaluate the performance of a whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive for tooth cleaning, abrasion, and polishing. METHODS Perlite toothpaste abrasive samples were prepared by air classifying a commercial expanded perlite product....

Representation of a granule, relation and operation between two granules are mainly researched in granular computing. Hyperbox granular computing classification algorithms (HBGrC) are proposed based on interval analysis. Firstly, a granule is represented as the hyperbox which is the Cartesian product of $N$ intervals for classification in the $N$-dimensional space. Secondly, the relation betwee...

Traditionally, abrasive finishing process focus on producing excellent surface finish on regular form shapes. Ever increasing demands in freeform features in aerospace, energy and medicine industry requires abrasive finishing technology not only provides excellent surface finish but also is capable to correct the errors on freeform surfaces. The paper presents current development of corrective ...

Abrasive Water Jet Machining is an unconventional machining process well known for machining hard to cut materials. The primary research focus on the process was for through cutting and a very limited literature is available on pocket milling using AWJM. The present work is an attempt to use this process for milling applications considering a set of various process parameters. Four different in...

Problem statement: Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is highly deterministic and versatile in producing various forms of precise optics. A typical example is the production of large offaxis aspheric mirrors and various infrared mirrors and mandrels. However, the fine periodical turning marks left in the surface critically limit its performance and they are difficult to be avoided for traditio...

In this study, the effects of process parameters on the geometrical characteristics and the topography were investigated in milling of SS304 material using Abrasive Water Jet machining technique. In addition, optimal control of the input variables for achieving the quality of the channel was determined by using Grey relational analysis. The input process parameters include traverse speed, abras...
