Background. The aim of the present study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of novel nickel titanium rotary pathfinding instruments. Methods. Twenty instruments were selected for each file system. A simulated stainless steel root canal, with a 90° angle of curvature and a curvature radius of 3 mm, was used for cyclic fatigue test of the ProGlider (#16, progressive taper: 0.02‒ 0.085), PathGlider (#15, taper: .03), and One G (#14, taper: .03) instruments. Statistical analyses were performed with oneway ANOVA (P=0.05). Post hoc Tukey tests were used to determine any statistically significant differences between the groups. Results. The ProGlider instruments exhibited significantly more cyclic fatigue resistance than both PathGlider and One G instruments (P<0.001). One G instruments had significantly more resistance to fracture than PathGlider instruments (P<0.05). Conclusion. ProGlider instruments had better cyclic fatigue resistance than PathGlider and One G instruments.

In engineering industries and heavy manufacturing plants, fatigue life of joints plays a pivotal role in determining the overall life span of the welded joint. In this paper, an advanced fusion joining technique, namely activated tungsten inert gas welding, was used for joining UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel, with ZnO as activation flux. For the enhancement of fatigue resistance of joints, important welding process parameters were fluctuated according to a developed central composite design model. Empirical relationships were developed between the process parameters and the fatigue strength of the joints, which was correlated with the number of cycles to failure (NCF). Using analysis of variance, the significance of the developed fatigue model was ascertained. Using response surface methodology, optimization of process parameters for enhancement of fatigue resistance was done. It was observed that at the optimized activated tungsten inert gas weld process parameters of travel speed of welding torch at 69.85 mm/min, weld current at 125.20 A, and shielding gas flow rate at 14.77 L/min, a high fatigue life of 7.66396 × 108 NCF was obtained and the model was validated to very high predictability. Microstructural variations in the fatigue-tested specimens were evaluated for identifying the grain modifications.

ABSTRACTMartensite will form in austenitic 304 stainless steel when it is deformed. Transmission electron microscope studies show that nitrogen ion implantation causes a reversion of the martensite to austenite. Specimens containing martensite resulting from fine surface polishing and heavy rolling are examined. The transformation is shown not to occur because of temperature increases during implantation. The effect is related to recent wear results in 304 stainless steel.

The main aim is to evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance of blue heat-treated instruments with different kinematics. Twenty-four endodontic instruments of the same brand were used for each of three experimental groups: VB (Vortex Blue 40/0.04), RB (RECIPROC Blue 40/0.06), and XB (X1 Blue 40/0.06). The instruments were randomly distributed and subjected to temperatures of 20°C and 37°C. The fatigue test was performed using a stainless steel device. Data were analysed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Student’s t-test, the F test, and Tukey’s and Tamhane tests at significance level P = 0.05 . The instruments’ cyclic fatigue resistance at both temperatures differed significantly for each instrument type ( P < 0.001 ). The RB instruments displayed greater cyclic fatigue resistance at the tested temperatures compared with the VB and XB instruments ( P < 0.001 ). Reciprocating kinematics positively influenced cyclic fatigue resistance. Blue heat-treated instruments showed decreased cyclic fatigue resistance as the temperature increased ( P < 0.001 ).
