The present work investigates application feasibility of PVD TiN/TiCN/TiN coated cermet and CVD Al2O3/TiCN coated SiAlON for dry machining of Inconel 825 superalloy. Machining performance is interpreted through cutting force magnitude, tool-tip temperature, and mechanisms of tool wear. Results are compared to that of CVD multi-layer TiN/TiCN/Al2O3/TiN coated WC-Co tool. It is evidenced that SiAlON tool generates lower cutting force but experiences higher tool-tip temperature than other two counterparts. Apart from abrasion and adhesion, carbide tool witnesses coating peeling and ploughing. In contrast, SiAlON tool suffers from inexorable chipping and notching. Wear pattern of cermet tool seems less severe than carbide and SiAlON. Chip's underside surface morphology appears relatively better in case of cermet tool.

This experimental study investigates the effect of tightening speed and coating on both the torque – tension relationship and wear pattern in threaded fastener applications. The fastener torque – tension relationship is highly sensitive to normal variations in the coefficients of friction between threads and between the turning head and the surface of the joint. Hence, the initial level of the joint clamp load and the overall integrity and reliability of a bolted assembly is significantly influenced by the friction coefficients. The effect of repeated tightening and loosening is also investigated using M12, Class 8.8, fasteners with and without zinc coating. The torque – tension relationship is examined in terms of the non-dimensional nut factor K. The wear pattern is examined by monitoring the changes in surface roughness using a WYKO optical profiler and by using a LECO optical microscope. A Hitachi S-3200N Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used to examine the contact surfaces, under the fastener head, after each tightening/loosening cycle. Experimental data on the effect of variables and the tightening speed, fastener coating and repeated tightening on the nut factor are presented and analyzed for M8 and M12, class 8.8, fasteners.

AbstractAnteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) is a common wear pattern in primary osteoarthritic knees. In patients with bone-on-bone disease, the most appropriate surgical intervention is still a matter of debate. Knee arthroplasty is a well-accepted treatment to relieve symptoms and regain function. Unfortunately, satisfaction is limited, especially related to activities. A cross-sectional study was performed among patients treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicondylar arthroplasty (UKA) to determine if the osteoarthritis wear pattern or type of prosthesis affects knee-specific function scores and satisfaction related to activities. All UKA patients (N = 100) were treated for AMOA. Based on radiological assessment of the wear pattern, TKA patients were divided into two groups: TKA for AMOA (N = 68) and true TKA (N = 99). The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS), new Knee Society score (KSS), anterior knee pain scale, visual analog scales (VASs) for satisfaction about activities, and net promoter score were collected. After 2 years' follow-up, the anterior knee pain scale and VAS satisfaction showed significantly better scores for patients treated with TKA for AMOA compared with the true TKA group. Also in the KOOS subscales, some differences were seen in favor of the TKA for AMOA group. The new KSS was not in favor of a specific wear pattern, but patients with AMOA treated with UKA performed better on the symptoms subscale compared with patients treated with TKA. In conclusion, patients treated with TKA for AMOA showed better knee-specific function scores and satisfaction scores compared with patients treated with TKA for other wear patterns, and only slight differences were found between both the AMOA groups (TKA for AMOA and UKA). Thus, the radiologic assessment of wear patterns might be useful to take into account the shared decision-making process, when discussing expectations, timing, and outcomes with knee osteoarthritis patients considering knee arthroplasty. When AMOA is present, it might be beneficial to choose UKA over TKA.

A collection of over 1,700 small theropod teeth from the Judith River Group (Campanian;˜79.5–74 Ma) allows our understanding of the diversity and variation of small theropods in this assemblage to be refined. In addition to the previously recognized taxa, a series of morphologically distinct groups are recognized that may represent distinct taxa in some cases. Teeth with the Paronychodon-like features of a flat surface with longitudinal ridges on one side are resolved into a few discrete morphotypes. Two of these are included in Paronychodon lacustris and two additional morphotypes are hypothesized to represent distinct taxa, here referred to as ?Dromaeosaurus morphotype A and Genus and species indet. A. The teeth of Paronychodon lacustris and ?Dromaeosaurus morphotype A share a distinctive wear pattern that suggests tooth functioning involved contact between the flat surfaces of opposing teeth. Two species of Richardoestesia, R. gilmorei and R. isosceles, are present in the assemblage. Additionally, bird teeth are identified in the assemblage and are described in this review.Bivariate plots were used to document the variation in the theropod teeth, especially in the features that distinguish between Richardoestesia gilmorei, R. isosceles, Saurornitholestes, and Dromaeosaurus. Considerable overlap is present in all plots, so although the teeth are morphologically distinct, they are not easily distinguished by quantitative means.

Friction and wear control of movable parts in machines remain a critical challenge in the industries. Determination of measurement to control this often involves both the material and the lubricant. A wear test experiment using pin-on-disk apparatus to determine the wear pattern on a sample of aluminium and copper materials, lubricated with vegetable oil of palm kernel origin was conducted. Wear parameters, which include frictional coefficient, wear rate, and heat generation (temperature) were evaluated alongside thermal stress-strains on the pin on disk. Results showed that under the same conditions, the coefficient of friction reduces with the application of lubricant up to 84% and 7% for aluminium and copper respectively. The wear pattern for both materials when lubricated were evaluated and compared with dry condition to establish the relationships.

The incidence and patterns of degenerative changes within the radio-carpal joint were studied in 138 specimens of elderly cadaveric wrists. Articular cartilage wear of varying severity was seen on the distal radial and ulnar articular surfaces in 27% of cases and on the proximal row articular surfaces in 54%. Wear was most commonly seen on the radial styloid and corresponding area of the scaphoid. The triangular fibrocartilaginous complex (TFCC) was found to be degenerate or torn in 24%. Central degenerative perforation was commonly associated with articular cartilage wear on the ulnar head and the ulnar half of the lunate. No significant wear pattern was seen in those wrists with peripheral linear (i.e. traumatic) TFCC tears. Interosseous scapho-lunate and luno-triquetral ligament disruptions were found in less than 10%, suggesting that disruption of these ligaments is usually traumatic and not degenerative.
