OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To investigate and treat the late complications of using nickel-titanium alloy stents in laryngotracheal, bronchial, and esophageal stenosis patients who developed severe laryngotracheal stenosis (SLS). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. METHODS Thirteen patients with SLS or tracheoesophageal fistula secondary to insertion of a nickel-titanium alloy stent for t...

Titanium and nickel alloys represent a significant metal portion of the aircraft structural and en components and the residual stresses induced by machining are very critical due to safety sustainability concerns. This paper presents experimental investigations and finite element simulat on turning of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and IN100 nickel based alloy with uncoated and TiAlN co tools. Face t...

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the ability of our ultrasonic endodontic dental device with rotary nickel-titanium alloy instruments for the root canal treatment. This study is aimed at investigating the cleaning and shaping efficacy with “Ultrasonic device for endodontic treatment of dental’s canals. The purpose of root canal treatment is to get rid of the damaged pulp and the bacteria...

A new Zn-Ni-Cd plating process was developed which offers a unique way of controlling and optimizing the Ni and Cd contents in the final deposit. Zinc-nickel-cadmium alloy was deposited from a 0.5 M NiSO4 1 0.2 M ZnSO4 bath in the presence of 0.015 M CdSO4 and 1 g/L nonyl phenyl polyethylene oxide. Using this process a Zn-Ni-Cd ternary alloy, with a higher nickel content as compared to that obt...

Introduction: The process of mixing metals with non metals is called alloying, and the resulting mixture alloy. Alloys are composed of at least two elements, from which one must be metal. They are divided into alloys for fixed partial dentures-FPD (golden, golden-platinum, silver-palladium alloys, alloys for soldering and alloys for metal-ceramic dentures). Purpose: the main purpose is to inves...

Because numerical simulations with classical Johnson-Cook formulation of explosively formed projectiles induce non representative projectiles, a modified Johnson-Cook model taking into account the thermally activated and viscous regimes as well as the notion of saturation stress in the 10 s regime has been developed. Using both models, numerical experimental comparisons of Taylor and explosivel...

in this work, nanostructured niti shape memory alloy with equal atomic percentage was produced through mechanical alloying. the result exhibited that after 60 h of mechanical alloying of high purity elemental powder mixtures of nickel and titanium by a planetary high-energy ball mill, the ti dissolved into ni lattice and niti (b2) phase with was obtained. the xrd investigations, sem observation...

Nickel allergy is a cell-mediated immune response. Most cases of nickel allergy can be related to skin contact with nickel containing metallic items as buttons, suspenders, ear-ornaments etc. Epidemiological studies have shown a sensitization frequency of 20 percent in young females and 10 percent in the elderly. Two to four percent of males are sensitized. The biological significant parameter ...

Nickel (Ni) is a naturally occurring metal existing in various mineral forms and it is present in all compartments of the environment and ubiquitous in the biosphere as nickel compounds and complexes. It is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. Nickel belongs to 3d group transition metals and is hard and ductile. Nickel is one of the five ferromagnetic elements. It is also ...

Although Raney nickel made by dealloying has been used as a heterogeneous catalyst in a variety of organic syntheses for more than 80 years, only recently scientists have begun to realize that dealloying can generate nanoporous alloys with extraordinary structural characteristics. Herein, we achieved successful synthesis of a variety of monodisperse alloy nanoporous nanoparticles via a facile c...
