Present work aims at multi-mechanical surface treatment of Ti-6Al-4V based-miniplate implant manufactured by electrical discharge machining (EDM) for biomedical use. Mechanical surface treatment consists of consequent use of ultrasonic cleaning, rotary tumbler polishing, and brushing. Surface layers are analyzed employing scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Al...

Abstract Lowered glucose availability, sensed by the hindbrain, has been suggested to enhance gluconeogenesis and food intake as well suppress reproductive function. In fact, our previous histological in vitro studies suggest that hindbrain ependymal cells function a sensor. The present study aimed clarify sensor-hypothalamic neural pathway activated response glucoprivation mediate counterregul...

This study investigated the microstructure evolution of TiC/Ti-6Al-4V matrix composite produced using a 1073 nm continuous wave (CW), IPG Ytterbium fibre laser. The influence thermal gradient, overlap, and re-melting previous layers on TiC/Ti6Al4V samples was analyzed scanning electron microscope (SEM). showed that are composed undissolved TiC, in-situ TiC (eutectic primary TiC), α Ti β Ti. Whi...

Biological fixation of uncemented endosseous implants requires the apposition of bone onto implant’s surface in a process named osseointegration [1]. The present study examined bone tissue response to Ti-6Al-4V alloy implanted into the rat femurs over a long time range (3 days to 6 months). The progression of implants fixation in the cancellous bone of distal epiphysis and within the medullary ...

A recently developed ultra-hard boride-based material, AlMgB14, has been fabricated into a standard cutting tool geometry (TPG-222) and tested using single-point turning of Ti-6Al-4V. The initial testing was conducted to compare this new cutting tool’s performance relative to a WC-Co cutting tool. During the tests the boride-based inserts suffered catastrophic failure for a wide range of cuttin...
