Sealing ability of lateral compaction and tapered single cone gutta-percha techniques in root canals prepared with stainless steel and rotary nickel …

2011

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of lateral compaction and tapered single cone gutta-percha techniques in root canals prepared with stainless steel and rotary nickel titanium root canal instruments by fluid filtration method. Study design: The root canals were prepared with stainless steel (SS) and nickel titanium (NiTi) instruments. The canals prepared with SS were obturated with lateral compaction technique using .02 tapered cones and the canals prepared with NiTi instruments were obturated with lateral compaction technique using .02 tapered cones or 06 tapered single cones. The amount of leakage was evaluated by fluid filtration model. The results wer…

Continuous-wave, double-pass second-harmonic generation with 60% efficiency in a single MgO:PPSLT crystal

2014

We present a double-pass scheme for high-efficiency, high-power, second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a single MgO-doped periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate (MgO:PPSLT) crystal. The device is pumped by a single-frequency, continuous-wave fiber amplifier laser system at a wavelength of 1091 nm. For the double-pass scheme, a conversion efficiency of 60% and a harmonic power of 12.8 W at a wavelength of 545.5 nm with a high beam quality of (M2<1.2) is achieved. Compared to single-pass SHG, a double-pass enhancement factor of more than two is observed at the highest fundamental pump power.

Exploring 10 Gb/s transmissions in Titanium dioxide based waveguides at 1.55 pm and 2.0 pm

2017

Exploring new spectral bands for optical transmission is one of the solutions to support the increasingly demand of data traffic. The recent development of dedicated hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers [1], associated to the emergence of thulium doped fiber amplifiers [2] has recently focused the attention further in the infrared, and more specifically around 2 μm. Regarding integrated photonics, it becomes therefore interesting to find a suitable platform to operate at 2 μm as well as in the other more conventional spectral bands (going from 800 nm to 1550 nm). Here, we propose titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) as a good candidate for integrated waveguide photonics and demonstrate, for the first t…

Influence of geometrical ratios in forgeability of complex shapes during hot forging of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy

2014

Abstract Titanium alloys are considered desirable materials when both mechanical properties and weight reduction are requested at the same time. This class of materials is widely used in application fields, like aeronautical, in which common steels and light-weight materials, like aluminum alloys, are not able to satisfy all operative service conditions. Most of manufacturing processes of titanium alloy components are based on machining operations, which allow obtaining very accurate final shapes but, at the same time, are affected by several disadvantage like material waste and general production costs. During the last decade, the forging processes for titanium alloys have attracted greate…

Friction Stir Welding as an Effective Alternative Technique for Light Structural Alloys Mixed Joints

2014

Abstract The increasing use of structural light alloys in the aeronautical, automotive and transportation industry is pushing researchers to find new solutions for the production of innovative components. Mixed joints made out dissimilar alloys represent a challenge for engineers to the difficulties arising in welding materials characterized by significantly different mechanical, thermal and chemical properties. In the paper, an overview of the most used process to produce dissimilar joints of aluminum, magnesium and titanium is given. Both fusion based and solid state welding processes can be used. Although the joining of these materials is possible, particular attention must be taken to t…

A new fixture for FSW processes of titanium alloys

2010

FSW of titanium alloys is nowadays one of the most challenging welding operations, even with a solid state process, due to the thermo-mechanical and thermo-chemical characteristics of such materials. Due to the relevant application of titanium alloys in the aeronautic and aerospace industries, in the recent years few attempts were carried out to develop FSW processes aimed to maximize the mechanical performances of the welded parts. In the paper a new fixture is presented allowing obtaining effective FSW joints of titanium blanks, which were investigated through mechanical and metallurgical tests highlighting the peculiarities of FSW of titanium alloys.

Function of titanium oxide coated on carbon nanotubes as support for platinum catalysts

2015

This study describes the outcome of the synthesis of laboratory-made (HM) Pt monometallic, binary and ternary catalysts supported on TiO2/CNT (carbon nanotubes) and based on using the dry-mix method of organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). These multicomponent catalysts were investigated and compared with commercial Johnson Matthey (JM) catalysts for electrochemical applications.

Molybdenum thin-film growth on rutile titanium dioxide ()

2002

Molybdenum films were deposited at room temperature on rutile TiO2(1 1 0) surfaces having different stoichiometries, surface roughnesses and crystallinities. The film structures and compositions and the substrate–film interfaces were investigated by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Different substrate pretreatments resulted in markedly different film and interface structures. Under the growth conditions studied, no amorphous molybdenum oxide interlayers were formed upon deposition in contrast to previous studies. Preferred (1 1 0) textured Mo films grew on both air-annealed and oxygen-bombarded substrates. While sh…
