The aim of this study was to recover poly-dispersed nonionic surfactant (TX-100) from organic medium by the use of dehydrated and rehydrated kaolin. It was found that the presence of water after kaolin rehydration decreases considerably the amount of TX-100 adsorption from 28.7 μmol.g−1 onto dehydrated kaolin to 23.4 μmol.g−1 onto rehydrated kaolin. The estimation of the number of statistical layers of water deposited on kaolin was observed to be about 7 to 9. The effect of type of solvents (heptane, cyclohexane and benzene) on the adsorption onto rehydrated kaolin revealed a reduction in the adsorbed quantity; the adsorbed amounts were found to be 28.7 μmol.g−1, 26.7 μmol.g−1 and 24.2 μmol.g−1 in heptane, cycloheptane and benzene phases, respectively. On the other hand, it was observed that a temperature increased from 20 °C to 35 °C and 45 °C negatively affects the adsorption of TX-100 onto dehydrated and/or hydrated kaolin in heptane medium.

Reciprocating sliding tests using a ball-on-plate tribometer under differentes applied loads 3, 7 and 10 N load and anodic potentials were applied to evaluate the effect of applied lad and the effect of Nb and Mo elements on tribocorrosion behaviors of samples. Results showed that, Ti-Nb exhibited better anticorrosive properties than Ti-Mo. Under tribological action the nanostructured both of alloys showed similar friction coefficient, while Ti-Nb present lower tendency to corrosion compared to Ti-Mo. Furthermore, Nb diffusion increased the repassivation rate with respect to Ti-Mo surfaces due to its stable passive film. Due to the high chemical reaction rate in β-type Ti-15Mo alloy as compared to Ti-15Nb. The β- Ti-15Nb showed lower volume loss, lower friction coefficient values and exhibited better corrosion resistance during tribocorrosion tests than Ti-15Mo. Prevailing electrochemical conditions between -1 and 2 V influences the wear accelerated corrosion by increasing it with the applied potential and slightly increases the mechanical wear. Also, wear accelerated corrosion can be predicted by existing models as a function of electrochemical and mechanical parameters of the titanium alloys. However, considering biomedical applications, the β- Ti15 Mo and Ti15Nb alloys may be good candidates with low elastic modulus and without toxic alloying elements.

Thermocyclic treatment on 42CD4 steel was operated for four cycles at 850 °C for 30 min. After each cycle, the steel sample was cooled in different medium (open air and water) in order to check the effect of the cooling rate on the microstructure characteristics. It was found that the cooling rate can affect the mechanical characteristics of the steel. The hardness values of steel cooled in water were higher than those of steel cooled in air. Additionally, there was an increase in the resilience of steel sample with the increase of thermocyclic number.

The structural evolution, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of the nanostructured Ti-xMo alloys were evaluated using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and ball-on-disk tribometer. Wear tests were conducted under different applied loads of 2, 8, and 16 N. Experimental results indicated that the structural evolution and morphological changes of the milled alloys were sensitive to their molybdenum (Mo) content. The morphological characterization showed that the crystallite size and the particle size decreased with increasing Mo content (at.%) reaching the lowest values of 27 and 26 nm in the case of Ti-15Mo and Ti-20Mo, respectively. On the other hand, the coefficient of friction and wear rates were found to be decreasing with increasing Mo content.

The prepared samples were characterized using various apperatus such as X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer. Wear tests were conducted under different applied loads (2, 8 and 16 N). Structural results showed that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach the lowest values of 4 nm and 29 nm at 1373 K, respectively. The relative density of the sintered sample at 1373 K was as high as 97.0%. Moreover, a higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density, greater hardness and elastic modulus of the sample. It was observed that both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1373 K which was attributed to the closed porosity.

Setif, Algeria, Abstracts book N2 - The osteoarthritis and degenerative diseases osteoporosis as well as trauma lead to the bone mechanical properties degradation due to absence of normal biological self healing processes or excessive loading [1–5]. These problems solution are artificial biomaterials, as surgical implantation of appropriate shapes helps restore function for the otherwise functionally compromised structures [1–5]. Biocompatibility is considered to be optimal once tissue neoformation and later function occurs around implantable devices [6]. The efficacy of biomaterials implants is determined mostly by their surface characteristics such as microstructure, surface morphology, composition and biological properties [2]. Aiming to develop alloys with better properties for orthopedic applications, the focus of the present research was to evaluate the effect of Zr at. % content on structural, mechanical and tribological properties of hot isostatically pressed Ti-25Nb-xZr (x = 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 at. %) alloys. The structural evolution, and mechanical properties of the nanostructured Ti-Nb-xZr alloys were evaluated using X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope. The mechanical properties were performed using Vickers hardness and berkovich nanoindentation. Experimental results indicated that the structural evolution and morphological changes of the milled alloys were sensitive to their Zirconium (at. %) content. The morphological characterization showed that the crystallite size and the particle size decreased with increasing Zr content (at. %). As well, as the Zr was added to the Ti-25NbXZr system, there was a clear decrease in the Vickers hardness and young’s modulus. On the other hand, the coefficient of friction and wear rates were found to be decreasing with increasing Zr content.

Setif, Algeria, Abstracts book N2 - Le milieu médical est un perpétuel demandeur de biomatériaux compatibles surtout en orthopédie. Effectivement le nombre important d’arthroplasties effectuées chaque année ne cesse d’augmenter dans le monde, non seulement du fait vieillissement de la population (à partir de 65 ans), mais aussi de demandes de patients plus jeunes entre 45 ans et 55 ans. Actuellement, les composés à base de titane Ti sont largement utilisés comme des biomatériaux pour leur biocompatibilité, leur résistance à la corrosion et leur faible module d’élasticité. Le molybdène et le zirconium sont parmi les meilleurs éléments alliés parce qu’ils sont non toxiques et non allergiques et offrent d’excellentes propriétés. De plus,Le Zr peut augmenter la trempabilité et la résistance à la corrosion de l'alliage . Mo est un élément fort stabilisant pour la phase des alliages de titane et les alliages à base de Ti-Mo présentent des propriétés mécaniques adéquates compatibilité et bonne cyto-compatibilité . Par conséquent, le système Ti-Mo-Zr, qui a montré une bonnes performances et de magnifiques perspectives dans l’application de biomatériaux, a été intensivementétudié [1,2,3]. Cependant, les alliages de Ti largement utilisés, tels que les interstitiels extra-low (ELI) Ti-6Al-4V (wt.% en poids ), Ti- 5Al-2,5 Fe et Ti-6Al-7Nb, ont le risque de libérer de l'aluminium toxique (Al) et les Ions de vanadium (V) in vivo, ce qui peut causer des problèmes de santé, comme la maladie d’Alzheimer et la neuropathie[4].La métallurgie des poudres (MP), y compris la méthode de mixture des composants en poudre, qui consiste à fritter titane en poudre ou ses mélanges avec d’autres composants en poudre, est un procédé économique à moindre cout. La nanotechnologie est intervenue dans la structuration des biomatériaux à l’échelle nanométrique (entre1nmet 100 nm) par soucis d’amélioration des propriétés mécanique surtout le module de Young.

In the order to study the influence of thermal oxidation upon hydrophilic/hydrophobic character of the surface, samples of Al₂O₃ were characterized using granulometry, SEM and BET surface area measurement. SEM results showed that the thermal treatment does not affect the morphology of the Alunima. However, the increase of treatment temperature from 250 to 900°C results in changing of the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of Al₂O₃ surface.

Open-Circuit Potential (OCP), friction coefficient, wear volume and wear rate were evaluated. The results revealed that Ti-15Nb alloy exhibited lower wear rate, lower friction coefficient and better corrosion resistance during tribocorrosion than the Ti-15Mo alloy. This can be attributed to the diffusion of Nb which increases the repassivation rate (formation of a protective layer) in the Ti-15Nb alloy. In contrast Ti-15Mo shows a significantly higher rate of chemical reaction.

X-ray diffraction analysis was used for the morphological characterization which indicated that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach the lowest values of 41 nm and 27.5 nm at 1100 °C, respectively. Moreover, the higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density, greater hardness and young’s modulus of the Ti-15Nb alloys. Wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-plate type Oscillating tribometer, under different applied loads (2, 8 and 16 N) to evaluate their tribological characterization. The wear rate and friction coefficient were lower at higher sintering temperature. This enhancement in tribological properties was attributed to a grain refinement. The Ti-15Nb alloys sintered at 1100 °C showed the best tribological performance.

The morphological and structural characteristics of as-prepared samples were investigated by several methods. Wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer under different applied loads (2, 10, and 20 N). The morphological characterization indicated that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach lowest values of 40 nm and 38 nm at 1250 °C, respectively. The relative density of the 1250 °C sintered sample was as high as 98.7%. Moreover, the higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density and closed porosity of the sample. Both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1250 °C as compared to other samples. This enhancement in tribological properties was attributed to a closed porosity.
