Nickel Steel and its Advantages over Ordinary Steel

Push over Analysis of Steel Strengthened Masonry

Strengthening of un-reinforced masonry (URM) structures to improve its seismic performance is not only well recognized among the research community but also getting attention of practicing engineers around the globe. The estimation of lateral capacity and performance of masonry becomes complex because of heterogeneous nature of its constituent materials and other associated problems. Heterogene...

Blood nickel concentrations in patients with stainless-steel hip prostheses.

Nickel concentrations were analyzed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry in serum and whole blood specimens from patients 9 to 15 years after unilateral (N = 11) or bilateral (N = 2) hip arthroplasty. The hip prostheses were of the "Charnley" or "TR-28" (metal-to-plastic) types, fabricated of stainless-steel (14 to 16 percent Ni) with polyethylene acetabular cups. In 12 of the ...

Assessment of Nickel Release from Stainless Steel Crowns

OBJECTIVE Adverse effects of dental materials, especially metals, have been an important issue in recent decades. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of nickel released from stainless steel crowns in artificial saliva. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in-vitro study, 270 stainless steel crowns were divided into five groups, each with nine subgroups. Each grou...

Nickel-plated steel coins: the risk to the nickel-allergic public needs wider consideration.

A mortality study among mild steel and stainless steel welders.

A mortality study was carried out in conjunction with the European mortality study among welders coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The study was aimed at assessing risks for lung cancer in relation to exposure to asbestos, welding fumes containing chromium and nickel, and tobacco smoke. The study included a cohort of 2721 welders and an internal comparison g...
