Stainless steel has been employed in many engineering applications ranging from pharmaceutical equipment to piping in the nuclear reactors and storage to chemical products. In this attempt, simulation of fatigue crack growth based on experimental results of austenitic stainless steel 304L was presented using AFGROW code when NASGRO mode laws adopted. Double through crack at hole specimen is use...

The aim of this work is to determine the fatigue life of 316L stainless steel. The mechanisms of fatigue of 316L stainless steels were investigated and discussed. The fatigue tests were carried out at constant-amplitude cyclic loading with load ratio R=0.1. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is then used to examine the fracture surface. The results show that the fatigue limit of 316L stainless ...

injunction it obtained in its trademark infringement action, the primary issue is whether Rolex is entitled to recover profits and attorney's fees from Robert Meece, doing business as American Wholesale Jewelry. We AFFIRM in part, VACATE in part, and REMAND for further proceedings.Because many of the facts are undisputed, the following is drawn largely from stipulated facts and the district cou...

INTRODUCTION Intravascular coronary stenting has been used in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), with a major limitation of in-stent restenosis (ISR). The 316 stainless steel has been widely used for coronary stents. In this study, we developed a novel coating method to reduce ISR by simultaneously coating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and anti-CD34 antibody on 316L sta...

The evaporation of inertial confinement fusion first wall materials from unattenuated pellet X-rays and from radiation emitted by a cavit.y buffer qas is examined. The low vapor pressure and low X-ray attenuation coefficient of carbon give it a lower erosion rate than stainless steel, despite the larger thermal conductivity of Type 316 stainless steel. For the argon buffer gas containing 0.2% N...

BACKGROUND Post-retained crowns are indicated for endodontically treated teeth (ETT) with severely damaged coronal tissue. Metallic custom and prefabricated posts have been used over the years, however, due to unacceptable color, extreme rigidity and corrosion, fiber posts, which are flexible, aesthetically pleasing and have modulus of elasticity comparable with dentin were introduced. AIM To...

Chloride-induced corrosion of carbon steel reinforcement is the main cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in marine environments. One of the ways to protect RC structures from corrosion is to use corrosion-resistant stainless steel reinforcing bars. However, stainless steel is between six and nine times more expensive than carbon steel. Thus, its use can only be justifi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to explore clinical outcomes for NuSmile anterior preveneered stainless steel crowns. METHODS A convenience sample of healthy children treated with anterior crowns was selected from a teaching clinic and private office. Crowns were placed by either a private practice dentist or pediatric dental resident. Clearly defined clinical outcomes wer...

Layers of high silica zeolites, synthesized with an organic structure directing agent (OSDA) and grown onto porous support structures, frequently suffer from the thermal stress during the removal of OSDA via the calcination process. The different thermal expansion coefficients of the zeolite and the support material, especially when stainless steel is used as a support, causes enormous tension ...

In this research work, the effectiveness of stainless steel sheet for the production of motor cycle exhaust muffler burn protector was investigated. Energy Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence method was used to determine the chemical composition of the stainless steel materials and exhaust muffler of the motor cycle. The stainless steel sheet was perforated and folded to frustum shape to achieve aero...
