Incorrect surgical management of injured facial structures results in cosmetic, ophthalmic, and social aftereffects. A custom-made knitted TiNi-based mesh (KTNM) endograft was employed to overcome post-surgical complications and post-resected lesions of the orbital area. Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging and CAD modelling were used to design the customized KTNM in each case. Twenty-five patients underwent surgery utilizing the suggested technique, from 2014 to 2019. In all documented cases, resolution of the ophthalmic malfunction was noted in the early period. Follow-up observation evidenced no relapsed enophthalmos, hypoglobus, or diplopia as late complications. The findings emanating from our clinical observations allow us to claim that the KTNM indicated a high level of biocompatibility. It is simply modified intraoperatively to attach any desired shape/size for implantation and can also be screw-fixed, providing a good supporting ability. The KTNM precisely renders orbitozygomatic outlines and orbital floor, thus recovering the anatomical structure, and is regarded as an attractive alternative to Ti-based meshes and plates. Additionally, we report one of the studied cases, where good functional and cosmetic outcomes have been achieved.

T1 - Surface modification of Al by high-intensity low-energy Ti-ion implantation: Microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties T2 - Surface and Coatings Technology N2 - A high-intensity metal ribbon ion beam was generated using plasma immersion extraction and the acceleration of the metal ions with their subsequent ballistic focusing using a cylindrical grid electrode under a repetitively pulsed bias. To generate the dense metal plasma flow, two water-cooled vacuum arc evaporators with Ti cathodes were used. The ion current density reached 43 mA/cm2 at the arc discharge current of 130 A. High-intensity ion implantation (HIII) with a low ion energy ribbon beam was used for the surface modification of the aluminium. The irradiation fluence was changed from 1.5 × 1020 ion/cm2 to 4 × 1020 ion/cm2 with a corresponding increase in the implantation temperature from 623 to 823 K. The structure and composition of the Ti-implanted aluminium were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX). The mechanical properties and wear resistance were measured using nanoindentation and “pin-on-disk” testing, respectively. It was shown that the HIII method can be used to form a deep intermetallic Al3Ti layer. It has been established that a thin (0.4 μm) modified layer with a hcp Ti(Al) structure is only formed on the surface at 623 K, while the formation of the ordered Al3Ti intermetallic phase occurs at the implantation temperatures of 723 and 823 K. Despite the significant ion sputtering of the surface, the thickness of the modified layer increases from ~1 μm to ~6 μm, and the implantation temperature rises from 723 to 823 K. It was found that the homogeneous intermetallic Al3Ti layer with a thickness of up to 5 μm was formed at 823 К. The mechanical and tribological properties of the aluminium were substantially improved after HIII. For the Ti-implanted aluminium, the hardness of the surface layer increases from 0.4 GPa (undoped Al) to 3.5–4 GPa, while the wear resistance increases by more than an order of magnitude.

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.

Sand blasting was performed on 22MnB5 steel surface. This steel was stacked together with layers of unidirectional glass/polyamide-6 prepreg, followed by pressing in a hot press. Influenced parameters are pressure, temperature and time. 3D profilometer analysis was used to investigate the roughness profile on the surface of the steel generated by the sand blasting. The surface energy of the steel surface was calculated from a set of contact angles measured by three different liquids. To identify the optimal surface treatment, the variation of surface energy, flexural strength and roughness of the steel surface was determined as function of the surface treatment. Surface roughness (Ra of 1.08 μm), results indicate that increasing surface roughness leads to improvement in flexural modulus. The increase further leads to decrease in flexural modulus. In addition, the influence of surface energy and flexural strength on the impact damage behaviour was investigated too. The results showed that the sample with highest flexural modulus had the lowest impact-induced damage area.

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.

The SHS process, as a very fast and economically justified route of powder metallurgy, has distinctive features which impart special attributes to the resultant implant, facilitating its integration in terms of bio-mechanical/chemical compatibility. On the phenomenological level, the fact of high biocompatibility of porous SHS TiNi (PTN) material in vivo has been recognized and is not in dispute presently, but the rationale is somewhat disputable. The features of the SHS TiNi process led to a multifarious intermetallic Ti4Ni2(O,N,C)-based constituents in the amorphous-nanocrystalline superficial layer which entirely conceals the matrix and enhances the corrosion resistance of the unwrought alloy. In the current article, we briefly explore issues of the high biocompatibility level on which additional studies could be carried out, as well as recent progress and key fields of clinical application, yet allowing innovative solutions.

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 gradient distribution of titanium as well as vacancy type defects were analysed. The effects of ion implantation on microstructure, phase composition and elemental distribution of TiZr layer were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy, respectively. The results show the appearance of Zr-Ti intermetallic phases of different stoichiometry after Ti implantation. The intermetallic phases are transformed from both Zr0.7Ti0.3 and Zr0.5Ti0.5 to single Zr0.6Ti0.4 phase with the increase in the implantation dose. The depth of Ti penetration into the bulk of Zr increases from 6 to 13 μm with the implantation dose. The higher current density (170 mA/cm2) leads to the increase in the grain size and surface roughness. It was revealed that TiZr layer (~10 μm thickness) is represented by α′ + α(TiZr) lamellar microstructure with gradient distribution of Ti through the layer depth. Transmission electron microscopy was used for investigation of the physical basis of Ti diffusion and its influence on the evolution of the defect structure after surface modification. Furthermore, it was found that on the surface between substrate and implanted layer was found an amorphous layer, which occur as a result of further stress accumulations from the higher implantation doses.

It pointed to a crucial oxidation and subsequent destruction of nuclear fuel claddings in light-water reactors in the case of loss of coolant accident conditions. Surface modification is one of the promising approaches to protect Zr alloys in normal operation and accident conditions of nuclear reactors [2]. Surface modified layers or coatings forming chromia during oxidation is of greatest interest since it meets the basic requirements for accident tolerant fuel materials [3]. The aim of this research is to study the possibility of deep surface modification of zirconium alloy E110 by high intensity ion implantation using low energy metal ion beam. The formation of the metal ion beams is provided by the application of negatively pulsed bias (1.5 kV) to the system immersed in the chromium vacuum arc plasma. The structure and composition of Cr-implanted zirconium alloy were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The mechanical properties and wear resistance were measured by nanoindentation and «ball on disk» testing, respectively. The influence of implantation temperature on the phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties as well as on the corrosion behavior of Cr-implanted zirconium alloy under high-temperature oxidation (up to 1100÷1200 °C) have been described.

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.

T1 - Metallurgical and Mechanical Characterization of High-Speed Friction Stir Welded AA 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy T2 - Materials N2 - The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the high welding speed on the mechanical properties and their relations to microstructural characteristics of butt friction stir welded joints with the use of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy. The aluminum sheets of 2.0 mm thick were friction stir welded at low (conventional FSW) and high welding speeds (HSFSW) of 200 and 2500 mm/min, respectively. The grain size in the nugget zone (NZ) was decreased; the width of the softened region was narrowed down as well as the lowest microhardness value located in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) was enhanced by HSFSW. The increasing welding speed resulted in the higher ultimate tensile strength and lower elongation, but it had a slight influence on the yield strength. The differences in mechanical properties were explained by analysis of microstructural changes and tensile fracture surfaces of the welded joints, supported by the results of the numerical simulation of the temperature distribution and material flow. The fracture of the conventional FSW joint occurred in the HAZ, the weakest weld region, while all HSFSW joints raptured in the NZ. This demonstrated that both structural characteristics and microhardness distribution influenced the actual fracture locations.

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.

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.

The surface layers at a depth of up to 100 nm mainly consist of amorphous nanocrystalline intermetallic oxycarbonitrides Ti₄Ni₂(O,N,C) with nonmetallic inclusions of different structural variants and routes of origin. Fine-porous alloys were synthesized at ignition temperatures of 450-480 °C. A distinct feature of the surface of crystalline phases therein was shown to be a low degree of crystallinity (up to 40%) and presence of multifarious glass and cermet phases evident as NiSi₂, NaAlSiO (SO₄), SiO₂, MgSi₂, and CaCO₃. Conversely, large-pore alloys ignited at temperatures of 280-330 °C have a higher degree of crystallinity (up to 70%). An individually selected GIXRD technique and precision structural phase analysis are capable to determine a set of other superficial nonmetallic and cermet phases reported as CaTiO₃, Si (P2O₇), CaSiO₃, MgAl₂O₄, TiNiAl, as well as the Ti₃SiC₂MAX phase.

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.

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.

A laser metal of samples was carried out at various laser powers: 500 W, 1000 W, 1400 W. The microstructure of a sample grown at a laser power of 500 W consists of a solid solution of Nb, Nb3Si, and dendritic chains of Ti. When the laser power is increased to 1000 W, the volume fraction of silicides increases, the structural heterogeneity decreases. With further increase in laser power to 1400 W, Ti dissolves in Nb, dendritic chains disappear, Nb5Si3 silicide stabilizes.

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.

Afterwards, the samples were sintered at different temperatures (950, 1050, 1150 and 1250 °C). Microhardness, density, crystallite size as well as microstrain of the sintered samples were measured and analyzed. Wear characteristics in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution was tested under different applied loads of 2 N, 10 N, and 20 N, respectively. The results indicated that the crystallite size continuously decreases with increasing sintering temperature and reaches the lowest value of 31.3 nm at 1250 °C. The relative density of the sample sintered at 1250 °C is 98.0%. Moreover, the higher sintering temperatures lead to the higher relative density and the increase in hardness and young’s modulus of the sample. At the same time the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower for the samples sintered at 1250 °C. This improvement in friction and wear resistance is attributed to the grain size refinement. Ti–Ni sintered at 1250 °C showed good tribological performance under all test conditions.

Several methods are used to reduce the harmful effects of this pollutant, especially physico-chemical methods, such as adsorption technology. The present study aims to remove Cr (VI) from industrial sources in a fixed-bed column of activated carbon. The experiments were carried out at natural pH and temperature with a flow rate (5, 10, and 20 mL/min) and bed height (3.5 cm). Breakthrough curves for feed concentrations (0.01, 0.03, and 0.05 mol/L) were investigated. The results indicated a marked decrease up to 99%. The value of the flow constant for the Thomas model decreased with the increase in the concentration of the incoming substance, but increased with the increase in the flow rate.

In this study, a numerical model for computation of distortions in laser-welded dissimilar overlap joints (austenitic stainless steel 304 – 6082-T6 aluminum alloy), which considers properties of the mixed steel-aluminum weld metal was developed. The required yield strength, Young's modulus, and strain hardening exponent of the weld metal were experimentally determined using the indentation technique coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The designed material model calculates the weld elastic-plastic properties as a function of the aluminum concentration. The softening of the alloys in the heat-affected zone was determined by physical simulations and considered as a function of maximum temperature. Computed and measured distortions showed good agreement for various welding regimes with an average deviation of 18.4%. The sensitivity analyses indicated that the application of the developed weld material model significantly improves the accuracy of the thermomechanical simulations.

Hence, there is an urgent need for developing biomaterials which will help to overcome the above compatibility problems. Ti based alloys have been widely used for biomedical applications, due to their excellent properties, such as low modulus, high biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance. In order to further improve the physical, mechanical and tribological properties of these alloys, microstructural modification is often required. Hence, this study aims to develop and evaluate the structural and tribological behavior of Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIPed) and sintered Ti-6Al-7Nb samples containing niobium, which is less toxic and less expensive as compared to the usual alloying element, vanadium (Ti-6Al-4 V). The Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys were fabricated by using nanoparticle powders milled for different durations (2, 6, 12 and 18 h) to evaluate the effect of milling time on the morphological and structural properties. Friction and wear tests were carried out on the (HIPed) and finally sintered Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy samples, to evaluate their tribological properties under different applied loads (2, 8 and 16 N), with an alumina α-Al2O3 ball as a counter face using an oscillating tribometer. The physical characterization of the nanopowders formed using different milling times indicated that the particle and crystallite size continually decreased with increasing milling time, while the microstrain increased. It is observed that the friction coefficient and wear rate for the samples prepared by powders milled for 18 h and tested under 2 N were lowest with values of 0.25 and 1.51 × 10−2 μm3∙N-1 μm-1, respectively compared to other milled samples. This improvement in tribological properties is attributed to the grain refinement at high milling times. The antibacterial evaluation of the fabricated alloys showed an improvement in antibacterial performance of the samples milled at 18 h compared to the other milling times.
