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...

The experimental results presented in this paper show the influence of the elastic deformation of porous solids on the adsorption process. With p(+)-type porous silicon formed on highly boron doped (100) Si single crystal, we can make identical porous layers, either supported by or detached from the substrate. The pores are perpendicular to the substrate. The adsorption isotherms corresponding ...

Abstract: The effect of phase development on peel strength of alumina-copper metalized joint has been investigated. The alumina-copper joint was prepared in three stages. The alumina substrate was, first, metalized at 1500°C in H2-furnace by a new formulation. In the second step, a nickel layer was electroplated on the metalized layer with approximately 10µm thickness. Finally, copper strip...

the lack of complete understanding of the substrate effects on carbon nanotubes (cnts) growth poses a lot oftechnical challenges. here, we report the direct growth of nanostructures such as the cnts on stainless steel 304and brass substrates using thermal chemical vapor deposition (tcvd) process with c2h2 gas as carbon sourceand hydrogen as supporting gas mixed in ar gas flow. we used an especi...

The presence of thin silicon carbide intermediate layers on silicon substrates during nucleation and the early stages of diamond deposition have been frequently reported. It is generally accepted that the intermediate layer is formed by the bulk diffusion of carbon atoms into the silicon carbide layer, and the morphology and orientation of the diamond film subsequently grown on the intermediate...

this work presents free vibration analysis of laminated rectangular plates with classical boundary conditions based on the classical plate theory (cpt). the first involves an s-fgm plate with different boundary conditions. then involves a two-layer plate in which an s-fgm layer is coated on a homogeneous substrate with classical boundary conditions, simply called an s-fgm-coated plate; the othe...

Nano films consisting of an alternating sequence of positively and negatively charged polyelectrolytes have been prepared by means of the electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) sequential assembly technique on treated and untreated mild steel wires. Inhibitor was encapsulated between cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte nano films. This paper mainly focuses on the effect of these nano-films of poly...

the aim of this research is preparation of sno2 nanowires by means of thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (tcrvtd) method from sno powders. the morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem), eds, and xrd. the xrd diffraction patterns reveal that the sno2 nanowires have...
