The research of the metal-ceramic bond and the evaluation of its quality is possible through indirect non-destructive methods, which conclusively complete the mechanical tests to measure the shear resistance. The quality of the restorations in which the chemical adhesion is the mechanism with defining role on the nature of the metal-ceramic bond is achieved mainly by the appearance of an oxide layer formed by the elements in the composition of the alloys. The oxide layer ensures the oxygen bridges, the diffusion of the metal ions into the ceramic mass, the creation of the necessary conditions for the chemical reactions at the metal-ceramic interface. However, the thickness of the oxide layer is an important parameter, which controls the quality of the resistance of the metal-ceramic bond. The analysis of the interface area by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the EDS analysis allowed the examination of both components and provided information on the type of rupture when the ceramic was removed from the metallic substrate, the compositional nature in the interface area, the presence of the oxide layer and of its characteristics. The experimental results obtained confirm some results from the literature on the behavior of the noble alloys as substrates in the metal-ceramic restorations.

Abstract This work intends to apprehend and emphasize the contribution of image-processing techniques and computer vision in the treatment of clay-based material known in Meknes region. One of the various characteristics used to describe clay in a qualitative manner is porosity, as it is considered one of the properties that with “kill or cure” effectiveness. For this purpose, we use scanning electron microscopy images, as they are considered the most powerful tool for characterising the quality of the microscopic pore structure of porous materials. We present various existing methods of segmentation, as we are interested only in pore regions. The results show good matching between physical estimation and Voronoi diagram-based porosity estimation.

AbstractIn this work, weddellite and sylvite crystals are identified for the first time on the involucral bracts and petals of Xeranthemum annuum and Xeranthemum cylindraceum using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometric (SEM-EDS) analysis. Well-developed crystals of weddellite (CaC2O4·2H2O) occur in the form of a tetragonal bipyramid (hhl), rarely in combination of a bipyramid and tetragonal prism (h00). Indumentum of involucral bracts of X. cylindraceum consists of nonglandular and glandular trichomes. Sylvite (KCl) crystals are observed only on the petal surface of X. cylindraceum. The crystals of sylvite occur in the form of perfect cubes (hexahedrons), but some crystals are deformed, i.e., partially elongated. Taxonomic significance of investigated microcharacters as well as the use of SEM-EDS analysis in taxonomic studies of plants are discussed.

In the fields of military and civil uses, some special passages exist in many major parts, such as non-linear tubes. The overall performance is usually decided by the surface quality. Abrasive flow machining (AFM) technology can effectively improve the surface quality of the parts. In order to discuss the mechanism and technology of abrasive flow machining nonlinear tube, the nozzle is picked up as the researching object, and the self-designed polishing liquid is employed to make research on the key technological parameters of abrasive flow machining linear tube. Technological parameters’ impact on surface quality of the parts through the nozzle surface topography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) map is explored. It is experimentally confirmed that abrasive flow machining can significantly improve surface quality of nonlinear runner, and experimental results can provide technical reference to optimizing study of abrasive flow machining theory.

The morphology and disposition of lattice organs, putative sensory structures in the carapace of cyprids, are described with scanning electron microscopy from six rhizocephalan species representing four of the five families in the suborder Akentrogonida: Clistosaccus paguri and Sylon hippolytes (Clistosaccidae), Arcturosaccus kussakini (Duplorbidae), Mycetomorpha vancouverensis (Mycetomorphidae), and Diplothylacus sinensis and Thylacoplethus reinhardi (Thompsoniidae). The disposition of pores and setae on the cyprid carapace is also surveyed. In T. reinhardi, poor quality of the specimens allowed only confirmation that lattice organs are present. Cyprids of all other species except M. vancouverensis have two anterior and three posterior pairs of lattice organs on the carapace, just as in almost all other Cirripedia. Cyprids of C. paguri and S. hippolytes are nearly identical in both general shape, carapace setation, and morphology of the lattice organs. In both species the lattice organs are oval–circular pore fields, except the second pair which is very elongate and match-shaped, a morphology unique to the Clistosaccidae. The similarities in cyprid morphology are interpreted as apomorphies supporting the monophyly of the recently rediagnosed Clistosaccidae. Both thompsoniid species have oval–circular lattice organs, indicating a possible sister-group relationship between the Clistosaccidae and the Thompsoniidae. None of the lattice organs of A. kussakini are oval or match-shaped. In M. vancouverensis there is only a single anterior pair of lattice organs, a probable autapomorphy. But the morphology of the M. vancouverensis cyprid is otherwise very reminiscent of those in the Rhizocephala suborder Kentrogonida, such as in being ornamented with numerous (> 100) carapace setae in no fixed pattern compared with the few (< 80) setae in a fixed disposition seen in the other akentrogonids. In cyprids of all Akentrogonida examined, the lattice organs lack a large terminal pore. By out-group comparison with all other cirripedes and with the Ascothoracida, this is regarded as an apomorphy that supports the monophyly of the Akentrogonida.

AbstractThe aim was to determine the fracture mechanism of two clinically failed ParaPost drills. First, the fracture planes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The drill end of one of the fractured pieces of each drill was then embedded in resin and after being metallographically ground and polished, was chemically etched. The microstructure and elemental composition were then examined by SEM/EDS analysis while hardness was determined with a Vickers testing device. Fractographic analysis revealed that both drills failed in a brittle manner and showed a pattern characteristic of a

A two-stepped coating-sintering process to prepare the qualified Ni–Ti transition applied in metal-ceramic bonding proved to be effective to improve the wetting abilities. The method was introduced in detail and compared with 2 control groups. To analyze the benefits, the morphology and composition were captured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The comparisons of different coating depths and different sintering conditions were also recorded and analyzed. The influence of the EDS detecting depth was a concern in the discussions. Finally, the contact angle tests and surface energies were also estimated to verify the reliability of the transition layer. The results indicated that the coating-sintering process combined with protective sintering was preferred and necessary to increase the activeness.
