Abstract Forty years ago, Garvie and his Australian co‐workers reported that the stress‐induced transformation of metastable tetragonal zirconia grains to monoclinic symmetry could give rise a powerful toughening mechanism. Their results even led them consider systems as analogues certain steels. This seminal paper generated extraordinary excitement in ceramic community it is still subject extensive research. Transformation widely used materials an increase strength toughness when compared...

Tribo-electrochemical behavior in physiological solution of two β-type (100-x)(Ti-45Nb)-xGa (x = 4, 8 wt%) alloys, alongside β-Ti-45Nb and medical grade Ti-6Al-4V ELI, was investigated. Microstructure mechanical were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, microhardness ultrasonic method. Tribocorrosion tests (open circuit potential, anodic potentiostatic tests) performed using a reciprocating pin-on-disk tribometer under constant load. Degradation mechanisms are similar for the alloys: plastic...

Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) appears very attractive for future biomedical applications thanks to its high glass forming ability, the absence of toxic elements such as Ni, Al or Be and good mechanical properties. For first time, a complete exhaustive characterization unique batch this glassy alloy was performed, together with ISO standard tests on machined implant-abutment assemblies. The results were compared benchmark Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra-Low-Interstitial) assess potential in...

Abstract The development of long‐lasting zirconia‐based ceramics for implants, which are not prone to hydrothermal aging, is satisfactorily solved. Therefore, this study conceived as an overall evaluation screening novel ceria‐stabilized zirconia–alumina–aluminate composite (ZA 8 Sr ‐Ce11) with different surface topographies use in clinical applications. Ceria‐stabilized zirconia chosen the matrix material, due its lower susceptibility aging than yttria‐stabilized (3Y‐TZP). This assessment...

One of the limitations to use certain bulk metallic glasses is related formation crystalline zones or defects, often called "spherulites", during casting process. In case Ti40Zr10Cu36Pd14 (at%) glass, which a candidate for biomedical applications, spherulites diameter up few hundreds microns were previously reported, but their crystallographic features and role in mechanical behavior corrosion resistance remains be determined. this work, detailed description microstructure provided. Tensile,...

To prevent the uncontrolled development of a pathogenic biofilm around dental implant, an antimicrobial drug-release electrospun membrane, set up between implant and gingival tissue, was developed by taking several technical, industrial regulatory specifications into account. The membrane formulation is made blend poly(l-lactic-co-gycolic acid) (PLGA, 85:15) poly(l-lactic acide-co-ɛ-caprolactone) (PLC, 70:30) copolymers with chlorhexidine diacetate (CHX) complexed β-cyclodextrin (CD). amount...

Biocompatible titanium-based bulk metallic glasses (Ti-based BMGs) are attractive for application in minimally invasive medical devices. They present a desirable set of properties, including low Young's modulus (E ≈ 100 GPa) and high yield strength (σ 2000 MPa). However, their implementation into practical applications is part hindered by limited glass forming ability (GFA) compared to BMG systems already commercialised. Due GFA, Ti-BMGs more susceptible crystallisation. This study...

Due to their outstanding elastic limit, biocompatible Ti-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are candidate materials decrease the size of medical implants and therefore reduce invasiveness. However, practical use classical Ti-BMGs in applications is part hindered by high copper content: more effort thus required design low-copper Ti-BMGs. In this work, line with current rise AI-driven tools, machine learning (ML) approaches, a neural-network ML model used explore glass-forming ability (GFA)...

Ceramic turbines can reduce fuel consumption by increasing turbine inlet temperatures (TIT). The need for heat-resistant materials like ceramics is particularly acute small turbomachines which efficiencies are limited the use of uncooled metal as complex cooling schemes impractical and costly. Efforts to introduce in rotor were made between 1960s 1990s gas automotive manufacturers U.S., Europe, Japan. While significant progress was made, a suitable level reliability still cannot be achieved...

The use of ceramics in gas turbines potentially allows for very high cycle efficiency and power density, by increasing operating temperatures. This is especially relevant sub-megawatt turbines, where the integration complex blade cooling greatly affects machine capital cost. However, are brittle prone to fragile, catastrophic failure, making their current limited static low-stress parts. Using inside-out ceramic turbine (ICT) configuration solves this issue converting centrifugal loading...
