AIM The aim of this study was to compare the effects of preparation with conventional stainless steel Flexofiles and Gates Glidden burs versus nickel-titanium GT rotary files in the shaping of mesial root canals of extracted mandibular molars. METHODOLOGY A total of 54 canals from 27 mesial roots of mandibular molar teeth were prepared using one of two methods by novice dental students. One c...

In order to improve the oxidation resistance of ferritic stainless steel, it is possible to deposit a protective coating on steel substrate. In this research through the usage of pack cementation method a coating of titanium was applied on the surface of AISI 430 stainless steel. Scanning Electron-Microscopy (SEM), Energy- Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were us...

One of the heaviest problems of reinforced concrete structures consists in the steel armature corrosion. The steel armature condition affects, above all, the properties of horizontal structures. It is to be noted that the corrosion process itself may not be observable from the outside in many cases. This is why studies of non-destructive methods allowing the researchers to detect the degree of ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com process important aspect of study [2-5]. The cleanliness of steel is a most required process of industry [6]. Various methods have been used to enhance the properties of steel during solidification. The continuous casting mold and submerged entry nozzles play an important part to produce the clean and defect free solidified slabs [7]. The melt flow ...

In the production of high speed steel, the rolling aaects the micro-structure of the steel, which in turn innuences the mechanical properties. Specii-cally, the distribution of carbide is essential, since cracks propagate within the carbide agglomerations. In current quality control, the properties of the steel are assessed manually by comparison with a standard chart, containing representative...
