  2. 1. Cobalt-Chromium alloys in fixed prosthodontics

    Author : Maria Kassapidou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthodontics; cobalt-chromium; manufacturing techniques;

    Abstract : Gold and its alloys have been the dominant framework materials in metal-ceramic constructions when substantial loss of tooth substance or missing teeth needs to be replaced. However, base metal alloys, such as cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr), have been introduced due to increased gold price. READ MORE

  4. 2. Thermodynamic Investigation of Co-Cr Alloys

    Author : Thérèse Sterneland; KTH; []
    Keywords : Cobalt; chromium; experimental thermodynamics; solid state galvanic cell technique; differential scanning calorimetric technique DSC ; CALPHAD-technique; Thermo-Calc; phase diagram; experimental data;

    Abstract : In a collaborative effort between the Divison of Metallurgyand the Divison of Computational Thermodynamics, RoyalInstitute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, experimentalinvestigations have been carried out in the binary Co-Crsystem. The experimental strategy has been to measure thethermodynamic activities of Cr by the solid oxide electrolytegalvanic cell technique, as well as to measure the molar heatcapacities of the alloys, as function of temperature, by theDSC technique.

  5. 3. Corrosion of High-Temperature Alloys in Molten Salts

    Author : Esraa Hamdy Mohamedin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermal energy storage; Pre-oxidation; Carburisation; Molten salts; Phase transition; High-temperature corrosion; Alumina-forming alloys; Alkali transition metalates; Alkali aluminate; Chromia-forming alloys; Alumina; Concentrated solar power;

    Abstract : Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an interesting technology that involves storing solar energy in the form of heat and subsequently converting it into electricity. The third-generation (Gen3) CSP plants aim to operate at temperatures >700°C, necessitating the deployment of new heat storage materials that can withstand such high operating temperatures.

  6. 4. Microstructure of Nickel-Chromium Superalloys

    Author : Mattias Thuvander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; segregation; TEM; nickel alloy; grain boundary; APFIM; SIMS; carbide; precipitation; ordering; boride;

    Abstract : The microstructure of nickel-chromium superalloys has been investigated using several advanced microanalytical techniques; atom probe field ion microscopy (APFIM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) together with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and optical microscopy (OM). The features primarily considered include precipitation, segregation and ordering. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bioaccessibility of Stainless Steels : Importance of Bulk and Surface Features

    Author : Gunilla Herting; Inger Odnevall Wallinder; Stuart Lyon; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stainless steel; iron; chromium; nickel; corrosion; metal release; artificial rain; synthetic body fluids; acetic acid; surface oxide; surface finish; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : With increasing environmental awareness, the desire to protect human beings and the environment from adverse effects induced by dispersed metals has become an issue of great concern and interest. New policies, such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) within the European Community, have been implemented to reduce hazards posed by the use of chemicals on producers and downstream users.
