ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base alloy castings are widely used for manufacturing orthopedic implants. This alloy needs both homogenization and solutionizing heat treatment after casting, as well as bioactivation of the surface to increase the ability of tissue bonding. In this study, ASTM F-75 Cobalt-base substrate was heat treated at 1220°C for 1 hour in contact with Hydroxyapatite-Bioglass powder in or...

Single crystalline cobalt nickel (Co-Ni) alloy nanowires are successfully fabricated using direct current (DC) electrodeposition with in the nanopore of highly ordered anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template. SEM studies show that the average diameter of the alloy nanowires is approximately equal to 50 nm which corresponds to the pore size of the AAO template. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analy...

The iq-hmziitation of an experimental design to investigate the variation in cobalt hardened gold electrodeposition produced a series of electrodeposited AuCo alloys which had been stripped from their copper substrates. The magnetic properties of these electroplatings were measured at room temperature using the Faraday method. These measurements showed the presence of two magnetic phases. One p...

This paper aims to compare the tribo-mechanical properties and structure–property relationships of a wear resistant cobalt-based alloy produced via two different manufacturing routes, namely sand casting and powder consolidation by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing). The alloy had a nominal wt % composition of Co–33Cr–17.5W–2.5C, which is similar to the composition of commercially available Stelli...

The extraction and separation of copper(II), zinc(II), cobalt(II), and cadmium(II) were investigated. Both copper(II) and zinc(II) formed ammine-complexes, while cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) formed hydroxide precipitates in an ammonia medium. By the addition of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), a copper(II) complex formed an ion-pair (copper-ammine-DS), which was extracted into the SDS phase. However,...

We retrieved 159 femoral heads at revision surgery to determine changes in surface configuration. Macroscopic wear of the head was observed in three bipolar hip prostheses as a result of three-body wear. There was a considerable change in surface roughness in the internal articulation of bipolar hip prostheses. Roughness in alumina heads was almost the same as that in new cobalt-chromium heads....

Metallic materials are the basis of dental materials science, which is an important part of dentistry. As a result of their good mechanical properties and some biological properties, metals are widely used in oral rehabilitation of dentition and mandibular defects, orthodontic and dental implants, as well as in the equipment for dental operations. Commonly used metals include nickel chromium, c...

zn-co electrodeposits have attracted interest because of their significantly higher corrosion resistance in comparison with pure zinc. in this research the influence of bath temperature and electrolyte’s co 2+ concentration on the morphology and composition of the zn-co coatings, electrodeposited on an aisi1018 steel substrate from a weakly alkaline glycine solutions, has been studied. sem and ...

Restoration of esthetics is an important factor to consider in the fabrication of a removable partial denture (RPD) . 1 Several types of polymers and metal alloys have been used in RPD construction. Frequently, RPD clasps made from the same alloy as the metal framework. The most common alloys used for clasps are cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy and gold and titanium alloys, although these may be u...

Background: Orthodontics is a part of dentistry that includes preventive methods and correction of dental irregularities that need to be repositioned by functional and mechanical tools to provide an ideal occlusion and a beautiful face for patients. There are currently four metal arch wires used in orthodontic treatment: stainless steel alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, nickel-titanium alloy, and b...
