In addition, its extraordinary mechanical properties render zirconia to be a potential candidate as an implant component of a whole implanted tooth, if its biocompatibility can be improved to promote adhesion to natural hard tissues. This study aims to enhance the bioactivity of zirconia with the aim of improving its integration with gum bone. Hydroxyapatite is the major component of natural bone and is thus selected as the modifier to improve the bioactivity of zirconia. A series of zirconia/hydroxyapatite composites with varied compositions were prepared under different conditions in order to find the optimal composites for the target application. Various analytical technologies and mechanical tests are employed to characterise the structure and properties of resultant composites. Results show that the component ratio and sintering temperature have a significant influence on the composite properties. An increase in hydroxyapatite component tends to enhance bioactivity but decline mechanical strength. Composites containing 10 wt% of hydroxyapatite maintain sufficient mechanical strength under the optimal sintering conditions whilst possessing excellent bioactivity, demonstrating that hydroxyapatite-modified zirconia has the potential as dental implant materials. Sintering results suggest that mechanical strength is obtained at 1400 °C for 2 h for the composite containing 10 wt% of hydroxyapatite.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":592,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://jmsg.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40712-024-00186-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is crucial for them to withstand long rolling campaigns without losing surface roughness or incurring damage. Newly developed rolls are made from tool-grade steel with high roughness, lower wear, and high damage resistance. One of the most important advantages is the elimination of the need for chrome plating, which is currently widely used on standard steel rolls but is ecologically harmful. We investigated a type of steel with 8% chromium for use in cold rolling using light optical microscopy (LOM), X-ray crystallography (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), hardness measurements, and tribological tests. In this study, a roll with a diameter of 325 mm was electro-slag remelted and forged, machined to a diameter of 305 mm, and quenched and tempered to simulate industrial roll production. A forged roll was induction heated and hardened at four different feed rates (i.e., 24 mm/min, 30 mm/min, 36 mm/min, and 42 mm/min), tempered at 515℃ for 24h and again at 480℃ for 24h, and dissected for in-depth analysis. We identified a clear relationship between the feed rate of the roll during induction hardening and the depth of hardness, the sizes of carbides, and the wear properties of the roll. By reducing the feed rate of the roll through the inductor, we increased the depth of the hardened layer from 16 mm (at a feed rate of 36 mm/min) to 25 mm (at a feed rate of 24 mm/min), which is a 56.25% increase. Such an increase is expected to extend the lifespan of the working roll without having negative effects on the wear resistance and other important parameters.

The catalysts were characterized via X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and powder electrical resistivity measurements. The formation of titanium oxynitride particles and deposited carbon was observed for all the samples; however, significant variations in the catalyst structure and catalytic activity were also observed.

The highest rest potential and ORR current density were achieved with calcination at 800 °C.

Geothermo-mechanical energy conversion using shape memory alloy (SMA) heat engines presents a novel and sustainable approach for harnessing geothermal energy. Shape memory alloys, known for their ability to undergo reversible phase transformations driven by temperature changes, are ideal for thermal-to-mechanical energy conversion. This paper explores the design and performance of an SMA heat engine that utilizes geothermal heat sources to drive mechanical work. The engine operates by cycling between the high-temperature geothermal environment and a cooler sink, exploiting the shape memory effect to generate mechanical motion. By integrating geothermal energy and SMA technology, this system offers a potential solution for renewable energy generation, with applications in remote or off-grid locations. The paper also investigates output power and the thermodynamic efficiency. A model is formulated and the engine behavior is simulated. A series of experiments are conducted for engine output power and efficiency. The model is compared to the experimental data for validation. The engine developed a maximum power of 3.5, 8.5, and 11.5 watts at 60, 80, and 90 °C respectively. The proposed SMA-based geothermo-mechanical energy conversion system offers a promising solution for efficient, reliable, and scalable geothermal energy harvesting. This research contributes to the development of innovative, efficient geothermal energy conversion technologies, supporting global renewable energy goals and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This innovative energy conversion mechanism could play a key role in the future of sustainable power generation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":592,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://jmsg.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40712-024-00185-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
