conclusions estelite sigma quick composite had wear resistance similar to that of nano- and microfilled composites. estelite flowable composites demonstrated similar wear resistance to that of a posterior composite. results the wear amounts of the composites are as follows in order: estelite sigma quick (1886.9 ± 518.5 μm2), estelite flow quick (2708.9 ± 578.1 μm2), estelite high flow (3206 ± 2...

The subsurface elastic stress fields in plane and axisymmetric contacts with friction under oscillating tangential loading are calculated via a very robust, high-precision method, which operates appropriate superpositions of analytic solutions for the respective Hertzian contact problems. Based on fields, two critical fatigue crack initiation criteria—the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) parameter Fin...

in this research, our attempt is to monitor tool wear through the chip formations, forces, and temperature of edge of drill while drilling in superalloy plate to optimizes effective parameters, which lead to facilitate machining process to, improved tool life, and enhance the productivity. in this study, inconel718 superalloy material, and cemented coated carbide tool was selected for investiga...

The wear mechanism of plasma electrolytic nitrocarburised (PEN/C) 316L stainless steel samples was studied after a pin on disc wear test. The surface morphology of samples after application of PEN/C process was studied using scanning electron microscope technique. The sliding tracks resulting from the wear tests on the treated specimens indicated no signs of plastic deformation and adhesive wea...

in this work, homogeneous thermochemical co-precipitation method was used to fabricate w-25wt%cu nanocomposite. synthesized nanocomposite powder was calcined and reduced. a hydrogen atmosphere sintering at 1200oc for 105 consolidated the product up to a density close to 98% theoretical density. wear experiment were carried out using a pin-ondisc set up at three normal loads of 5, 10 and 15 n an...

Introduction: Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) procedures are an option for treatment of cervical spinal disc degeneration. The goal of TDR replacement is to replace the painful and degenerated TDR with a new bearing unit to enable pain free motion. A young and active patient population demands a proven durable replacement bearing surface to accomplish this goal. The wear of that surface m...

as the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel aisi 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. in this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

most of the materials used in the industry of aero-engine components generally consist of titaniumalloys. advanced materials, because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight and general corrosion resistance. in fact, chemical wear resistance of aero-engine alloyprovides a serious challenge for cutting tool material during the machining process. the reductionin cutt...
