bainitic transformation at low transformation temperatures leads to a microstructure involving fine plates of bainitic ferrite and thin films of retained austenite. this microstructure has shown ultimate tensile strength of about 2.2 gpa, noticeable uniform elongation in the range of 5 to 30%, hardness values of about 600 to 670 hv and impact toughness in the range of 30 to 40 mpa m1/2. with ca...

alveolar ridge resorption has long been considered an unavoidable consequence of tooth extraction. while the extent and pattern of resorption is variable among individuals, there is a progressive loss of ridge contour as a result of physiologic bone remodeling. even today, with best modalities of tooth preservation, there is a group of elderly individuals who do not benefit from modern preventiv...

BACKGROUND Retained rectal foreign bodies have been encountered more frequently and present a dilemma for management. Most of the reports on these cases were documented in the form of case report and from Western countries. The present study was a review on the authors' experiences in such cases. METHODS Data from January 1979 to January 2000 were extracted from a computerized database of Tai...

Cryogenic treatment can be used as a supplemental treatment that is performed on some tool steels between quenching and tempering as an effective method for decreasing retained austenite and increasing wear resistance. In this research, the effect of deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) on dimensional stability and mechanical properties of 80CrMo12 5 tool steel was investigated. The martensitic trans...
