Rapid Manufacturing of Co-Cr-Mo Implants by Three-Dimentional Printing Process for Orthopedic Applications

     The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. To produce sound specimens, 3DP processing parameters were tuned. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. Batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °...

Measuring the interaction force between a tip and a substrate using a quartz tuning fork under ambient conditions.

Tuning forks mounted with sharp tips provide an alternate method to silicon microcantilevers for probing the tip-substrate interaction in scanning probe microscopy. The high quality factor and stable resonant frequency of the tuning fork allow accurate measurements of small shifts in the resonant frequency as the tip approaches the substrate. To permit an accurate measure of surface interaction...
