Background: Determination of the number of abrasive particles embedded in the zirconia surface after variable parameters of treatment. METHODS One hundred thirty cylindrical disks made from zirconia were divided into 7 groups (n = 10): one control and six test groups treated by air abrasion using Al₂O₃ or SiC with grain sizes: 60, 110, 250 μm with a working pressure of 0.2 or 0.35 MPa. The SE...

magnetic abrasive finishing (maf) is a micromachining process that uses magnetic field and magnetic abrasive particles to conduct the mechanism of material removal in micro-nanometer scales. in this paper, by an experimental method and statistical analysis, the effects of parameters like working gap, work-piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism (injection of abrasive slurry of al2...

background:   after cervical discectomy, autogenetic bone is packed into the cage to increase the rate of :union: between adjacent vertebral bodies, but donor site–related complications can still occur. in this study we evaluate the use   of hydroxyapatite granules as a substitute for autograft for interbody fusion.     methods:   from november 2008 to november 2011, 236 patients participated i...

Numerical modeling of machining processes is of significance in the parametric analysis and optimization of their performance. In this paper, a finite element-based model of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting of a ductile material is presented with the help of an explicit, nonlinear finite element method. In this model, both solid-solid interaction and fluid-structure interaction are considered. T...

Abrasive wear is defined wear due to hard particles or hard protuberances forced againts and moving along a solid surface. This defination encompasses several different mechanisms by which material removal occoures. The five types of wear are abrasive, adhesive, erosion, fatigue and fretting. The abrasive wear of polymeric materials is the interest and the subject of quite number of literature....

An experimental investigation into material transfer and wear has been performed for the case of a ferrite probe sliding at high speeds (between 25 cm/set and 1250 cm/set) and low loads (10 gm) on a steel disk, a nickel plated disk, and a polymercoated disk, the latter containing finely dispersed abrasive particles. Autoradiographic methods together with microdensitometer analysis have been app...
