To avoid the toxic effect of released nickel ions and compounds from conventional stainless steels, nickel-free austenitic stainless steels have been developed. We previously established a new manufacturing process to produce nickel-free austenitic stainless steel that involves nitrogen adsorption treatment. Although the cytocompatibility of nickelfree austenitic stainless steel produced using ...

The aim of the current study was an in vivo evaluation of the bacterial adhesion on TiN coated orthodontic stainless steel wires in 20 patients (age15-25) undergoing fi xed orthodontic treatment who have the indication for placement of 0.019 ×0.0 25 inch Stainless steel arch wires in both jaws. TiN coatings were formed on orthodontic stainless steel wires by physical vapor deposition (PVD), The...

Laser additively manufactured duplex stainless steels contain mostly ferrite in the as-built parts due to rapid solidification of printed layers. To achieve microstructures (ferrite and austenite roughly equal proportions) and, thus, a good combination mechanical properties corrosion resistance, an austenitic steel powder (X2CrNiMo17-12-2) super (X2CrNiMoN25-7-4) were mixed different proportion...
