A new correction instrument of pectus excavatum is introduced which is designed for a minimally invasive technique (Nuss procedure). The instrument was made of pure titanium plates, and finished by machining, surface treatment and so on. The instrument was made up of correcting bar and fixing bar. The mechanical properties of the instrument was measured with electron universal material testing machine, the safety and validity was verified by clinical doctors after being implanted into the patient. Results showed that the mechanical properties of the instrument keep constantly after implantation for two years. It is lighter than the like product, and can lighten the patent’s and the doctor’s operation bearing. It had been applied in national hospitals, and results showed that it was of better biocompatibility, and few complications were found. Clinical treatment effects were satisfactory.

In this paper, the microstructure and properties of as-cast Cu-Y-Zr alloys with different Zr content were studied in order to investigate whether the precipitates in copper alloys would interact with each other by adding Y and Zr simultaneously. As-cast Cu-0.5Y-xZr (wt.%, x = 0.05 and 0.1, nominal composition) alloys were prepared by vacuum melting in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to observe the microstructure of the alloys. The mechanical properties of the alloys were tested by universal material testing machine at room temperature. The effects of Zr content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloys were explored. As shown by the research results, in the as-cast Cu-0.5Y-xZr (wt.%) alloys, the precipitated phase was the Cu5Y/Cu5Zr phase and ranged from 10 nm to 70 nm in size; when the Zr content increased from 0.05 wt.% to 0.1 wt.%, both the tensile strength and elongation rate of the alloys increased; when the Zr content was 0.1 wt.%, the tensile strength was 225 MPa and the elongation rate was 22.5%.

The crystal morphology, melt-crystallization and mechanical properties of poly (trimethylene terephthalate)/maleinized poly (octene-ethylene)/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposites were investigated by using polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and universal material testing machine, respectively. The results suggest that the nanocomposites form smaller or imperfect microcrystallites with lower melting point due to the influence of OMMT components and the nanocomposites have increased crystallization rate because OMMT is an effective nucleation agent. However, the crystallinity decreases because of the thickening effect of OMMT in the composites. The nanocomposite with 2%OMMT has the largest tensile and impact strength.

by using connection type I. To get a good welding result is determined several factors, including the properties of material welding, connection type, welding position, and electrode used. In a welding project, there is still a welder that only uses I in the weld IWF 400 connecting iron while the thickness of the material 13 mm. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of campuh against the strength of weld joint connection using LB 52U 2.6 mm Electrode and RD 7018 3.2 mm electrode with AC Flow. In this study using experimental method begins with making specimens. With the collection of 7 specimens consisting of 3 specimens with welding treatment using Camp V, 3 specimens with welding treatment using Camp I and 1 IWF 400 specimens without welding treatment. From the results of research conducted on specimens by making and testing specimens with a tensile test machine Hydraullic Universal Material Testing Machine then obtained on the specimen without welding average value of Maximum (max) 41,28 kgf/mm². In welded specimens with a connection of the V values the average value of the Maximum (max) 39,82 kgf/mm². On a welded specimen with a maximum I knot connection (max) 38,32 kgf/mm².The results of this study indicate the results of iron welding IWF 400 using camp V greater value voltage 39.82 kgf / mm². From the maximum voltage value obtained from this study it is recommended that iron welding IWF 400 uses V.

Martensitic stainless steel (MSS) coatings with different vanadium (V) contents (0–1.0 wt%) by microalloying have been successfully fabricated utilizing a unique laser cladding technique. The microstructure and properties of the resulting MSS coatings, with and without element V addition, have been carefully investigated by various advanced techniques, including XRD, SEM, TEM, microhardness tester, universal material testing machine, and electrochemical workstation. It was found that the V-free coating was mainly composed of martensite (M) and ferrite (F), trace M23C6 and M2N, while the V-bearing coatings consisted of M, F, M23C6, and VN nano-precipitates, and their number density increased with the increase of V content. The V microalloying can produce a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the resulting MSS laser-cladded specimens. As the V content increased, the elongation of the specimen increased, while the tensile strength and microhardness increased firstly and then decreased. Specifically, the striking comprehensive performance can be optimized by microalloying 0.5 wt% V in the MSS coating, with microhardness, tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of 500.1 HV, 1756 MPa, 1375 MPa, and 11.9%, respectively. However, the corrosion resistance of the specimens decreased successively with increasing V content. The microstructure mechanisms accounting for the property changes have been discussed in detail.

The effects of RE and Ca on the mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of AZ91 have been studied by Zwick electronic universal material testing machine, X-ray diffraction, corrosion test and polarization experiment. The results showed that the addition of RE and Ca could improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of AZ91 alloys. The ultimate tensile strength of AZ91 with addition of 1%RE and 1%Ca increased by 15.9%. The addition of 1%RE in AZ91 made the corrosion rate decrease from 0.453mg·cm-2·d-1 to 0.178mg·cm-2·d-1. Furthermore, with adding 1%Ca in AZ91+1%RE, the corrosion rate of AZ91 decreased to 0.086mg·cm-2·d-1 due to the formation of reticular Al2Ca phases, which acts as an effective barrier against corrosion.

In order to discuss the effect of content of primary α on properties of bimodal microstructure, the TC4 sheet in rolling state was heat treated at different temperatures of 10~50°Cbelow the β-transus temperature, then a series of bimodal microstructures with different content of primary α were obtained by air-cooled procedure. Quasi-static and dynamic compress tests were carried out with universal material testing machine and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) respectively. The results indicated that the relationship between mechanical properties and primary α is irregular, and that bimodal microstructure with 25% primary α shows a better combination of strength and ductility.
