This paper investigates the microstructures and the polarization behaviors of Al7.5Cr22.5Fe35Mn20Ni15 high-entropy alloy in 1M (1 mol/L) deaerated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions at temperatures of 30–60 ̋C. The three phases of the Al7.5Cr22.5Fe35Mn20Ni15 high-entropy alloy are body-centered cubic (BCC) dendrites, face-centered cubic (FCC) interd...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to detect stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in stainless steel 304 alloy exposed to an aqueous environment at 120 °C. Stainless steel 304 alloy as u-bend was tested in the solution that contains 40 weight percent of magnesium chloride. U-bended samples were prepared according to ASTM G30. EIS measurements were always performed simultaneously o...

In spite of excellent corrosion resistance, good ductility and low cost of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, the low hardness and poor mechanical charecteristic of material restricts its applicability in several industrial services. To improve upon mechanical properties AlFeCuCrCoNi-WC10 high-entropy alloy coatings were deposited via laser cladding on austentic stainless steel AISI 316 subst...

The emission of dusts and gases, which are generated during tubular cored wire welding and which are hazardous to health and the environment, were studied. Tests included various kinds of tubular electrode wires used for welding steel, that is, rutile flux cored wires, basic flux cored wires, and metal cored wires for welding unalloyed, low-alloy, and high-alloy steels as well as self-shielded ...

Previous research has shown an increase in chromosomal aberrations in patients with worn implants. The type of aberration depended on the type of metal alloy in the prosthesis. We have investigated the metal-specific difference in the level of DNA damage (DNA stand breaks and alkali labile sites) induced by culturing human fibroblasts in synovial fluid retrieved at revision arthroplasty. All si...

The purpose of this study is to predict the mass loss of newly developed aluminium based alloy. Two different alloys are prepared by cladding process and the sliding friction and wear properties of this alloy against high carbon high chromium steel are investigated at different normal loads (50 N, 60 N and 70 N) under different sliding distances. Tests are carried at a constant speed of 1 m/sec...

Abstract This study here by presents a method for comparative assessment of grinding wheels during the grinding process of hard-to-cut materials. The method in question consists of carrying out a short grinding cut in plunge grinding kinematics using grinding wheels with a customized macro-geometry upon the active surface. The work presents examples of this method’s efficacy when applied to the...

It is well known that in blend modification, PC(Polycarbonate)/ABS(Acrylonitrile-Butadiene -Styrene) alloy polymers were used very common , but because of its high production cost and poor processing performance limited its application in marine materials. To improve the problem, We studied the behavior of ABS/PC alloy performance, and made a lot of exploration to increase the toughness, made i...

A retrospective review of 21 patients that underwent bone screw removal from the elbow was studied in relation to the type of metal, duration of implantation, and the location of the screws about the elbow. Screw failure during extraction was the dependent variable. Five of 21 patients experienced hardware failure during extraction. Fourteen patients had titanium alloy implants. In four cases, ...

The purpose of the study was to measure and compare the level of frictional resistance generated between conventional ceramic brackets (Transcend Series 6000, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), ceramic brackets with stainless steel slot (Clarity, 3M Unitek), conventional stainless steel brackets (Victory Series, 3M Unitek), and 3 different orthodontic wire alloys: stainless steel (stainless steel, SD...
