Low carbon ferritic steel alloyed with Ti, Mo and Cu was hot rolled and interrupt cooled to produce nano-sized precipitates of copper and (Ti,Mo)C carbides. The steel had a tensile strength of 840 MPa, an increase in yield strength of 380 MPa over that of the plain carbon steel and reasonable ductility. Transmission electron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering were used to characteriz...

BACKGROUND Although many studies have compared the properties of ultrasonic scaling instruments, it remains controversial as to which is most suitable for implant scaling. This study evaluated the safety and efficiency of novel metallic ultrasonic scaler tips made by the powder injection molding (PIM) technique on titanium surfaces. METHODS Mechanical instrumentation was carried out using fou...

High-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel has attracted much attention in the manufacturing industry because of its good combination high strength and toughness, low cost, formability. Wire arc additive (WAAM) technology can realize rapid prototyping HSLA parts. This study investigated a 26-layer component fabricated with WAAM technique. The microstructure deposited wall ER120S-G is mainly acicular...
