Monticellite bioactive ceramics have a high usage potential as bone graft substitutes due to their superior mechanical properties compared to hydroxyapatite and excellent bioactivity. Turkey has almost 72% of the global ...

Kinetics of boride layer growth and tensile behaviour in bonded commercial-purity nickel was investigated. Bonding was carried out in a solid medium consisting of Ekabor-II powders at 1173, 1223 and 1273 K for periods of ...

Ti6Al7Nb alloy foams having 53-73% porosity were manufactured via evaporation of magnesium space holders. A bioactive 1 mu m thick sodium hydrogel titanate layer, NaxH2-xTiyO2y+1., formed after 5 M NaOH treatment, was ...

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is an attractive implant material, particularly in orthopedic surgery. Although it has only been on the market for spinal fusion surgery requirements so far, it is also a promising candidate for ...

The Raman spectra of mixed crystals TlInS2xSe2(1-x) have been investigated in the composition range of 0.25 <= x <= 0.75 and in the high-frequency region of 250-350 cm(-1) at room temperature. It was observed that Raman-active ...

Metallic materials have been used as biomedical implants for various parts of the human body for many decades. The physiological environment (body fluid) is considered to be extremely corrosive to metallic surfaces; and ...

Ti-6Al-4V alloys are extensively used in biomedical, aerospace and petro-chemical applications mainly due to their high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance and high fatigue strength. In contrast to conventional ...

nconel 625, a nickel-based superalloy, is used in a wide range of applications including the marine and petroleum industries under where it is subjected to harsh conditions such as high temperatures and highly corrosive ...

Purpose: The study determined (i) the effects of electrical discharge machining (EDM) on the shear-bond strength (SBS) of the bond between luting resin and zirconia ceramic and (ii) zirconia ceramic's flexural strength ...

The effect of building direction and post fabrication aging treatment on the microstructure, crystallographic texture and high temperature mechanical properties of Inconel 718 (IN718) alloy fabricated by selective laser ...
