The metals for porcelain fusing used in this study were gold alloys and nickel-chromium alloys. Chromatic characteristics were compared between samples of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mm thickness. The dentin porcelain was fused on the opaque surface. Chromatic analyses were then carried out at each stage of 0.1 mm-incremental reductions of the dentin thickness starting from 0.5 mm. In conclusion, the meta...

In this study we examined the hypothesis based on relevant literature survey that the in vitro corrosion behavior of a Cobalt-chrome dental casting alloy for metal-ceramic restorations is better than that of a Nickel-chrome dental casting alloy. The corrosion released metal ions were analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy. Moreover, the specimens were electrochemica...

Zinc nickel alloy was deposited from alkaline bath at a PH of 13-14 with the nickel percentage of 5-9% in our prior research. Present study dealt with the research on 10-12% of Nickel at a PH of 12-13 from Zinc – nickel alloy electrolyte and the remaining percentage of Zinc, required for corrosion resistant applications to be used for reliable alternative of cadmium. Hull cell studies was carri...

A nickel alloy with high chrome and molybdenum content was found to form a highly resistive and passive oxide layer. The donor density and mobility of ions in the oxide layer has been determined as a function of the electrical potential when alkaline water layers are on the alloy surface in order to account for the relative inertness of the nickel alloy in corrosive environments.

Tungsten-alloy has carcinogenic potential as demonstrated by cancer development in rats with intramuscular implanted tungsten-alloy pellets. This suggests a potential involvement of epigenetic events previously implicated as environmental triggers of cancer. Here, we tested metal induced cytotoxicity and epigenetic modifications including H3 acetylation, H3-Ser10 phosphorylation and H3-K4 trime...

Nickel-metal hydride batteries (Ni-MH) are storers of electrochemical energy, which have a higher specific storage capacity than lead or nickel-cadmium batteries. The demand for Nickel-metal hydride batteries is increasing rapidly since their market launch in the early 1990's. Today there is no suitable and sustainable recycling process to recover nickel, cobalt and rare-earth metals. The disca...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to quantify the metallic ions released by various dental alloys subjected to a continuous flow of saliva and to estimate the nutritional and toxicological implications of such a release. METHODS Four pieces of three nickel-based, one noble, one high-noble and two copper-aluminum alloys were cast and then immersed in a continuous flow of artificial saliva...

Abstract: During the last decade, the demand for natural gas has steadily increased for the prevention of environmental pollution. For this reason, many liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers have been manufactured. Since one of the most important issues in the design of LNG carriers is to guarantee structural safety, the use of low-temperature materials is increasing. Among commonly employed low...

Mechanical properties of nickel-cobalt alloys (0-10% Co) electroformed with low internal stress in sulfamate-based solutions were investigated in as deposited and heat treated conditions. It was demonstrated that alloy properties can be modified by selecting deposition conditions and alloy composition. Recommendations on alloy selection are made based on application requirements. The higher str...

ABSTRACT Infrared spectroscopy has been employed for a detailed characterization of ZrO2 and CeO2/ZrO2 supported nickel and copper/nickel catalysts to be utilized for methane decomposition. Adsorption of CO at 303 K was performed in order to determine the surface composition and accessible adsorption sites. Alloy formation occurred during reduction, as indicated by a red-shift of the vibrationa...
