Effect Of Surface

Introduction: In two-stage implants, micro-gap between the fixture and the abutment and the superstructure are the potential areas to cause peri-implantitis. The surface roughness and surface energy of the implant abutment materials play an important role in the microbial colonisation on their surface and can help the clinician to choose a better implant abutment material in terms of microbial affinity. Aim: To evaluate the effect of surface characteristics of different implant abutment materials on microbial adhesion. Materials and Methods: The comprehensive analytical experimental study was conducted at KAHER KLE VK Institute of Dental Sciences, Belagavi between Jan 2017- Dec 2017. Forty-five (n=45) identical disc shaped specimens were fabricated using; Zirconia (Group A), Titanium alloy (Group B) and Surgical Grade Stainless Steel (Group C). The surface roughness was assessed for all test groups by Profilometer and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The Surface energy was evaluated for all the test group specimens using Goniometer. Microbial adhesion and assessment were performed using sonicating and vortexing method for all the three groups using three different bacterial strains. The Colony Forming Units for all the specimens were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis to draw the conclusions from the resultant data.The resultant data was analysed using SPSS software (Version 20). In order to collectively compare the means of the study groups pair-wise comparison of the test group was done using paired t-test with (p<0.05), and correlation between the surface parameters and CFU counts was done using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: On pair-wise comparison of three Groups (A, B, and C) with respect to surface roughness, there were statistically significant differences in surface roughness Ra values between all the groups p<0.001. On pair-wise comparison of all the three Groups with respect to surface energy, there were statistically significant differences in Wetting Angle (WA) values between all the groups (p<0.001**) except between group B and A (p=0.15). Zirconia showed the least CFU counts for Pi and Aa though the differences were not statistically significant. Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient between surface roughness and surface energy with CFU counts showed a strongly positive correlation for all microbial species and were statistically significant p<0.001**. Conclusion: There was a strongly positive correlation of surface roughness and surface energy to CFU counts. Zirconia showed a low colonisation potential against P.intermedia and A.actinomycetemcomitans than titanium alloy and surgical grade stainless steel.

Additive manufacturing of stainless steel is becoming increasingly accessible, allowing for the customisation of structure and surface characteristics; there is little guidance for the post-processing of these metals. We carried out this study to ascertain the effects of various combinations of post-processing methods on the surface of an additively manufactured stainless steel 316L lattice. We also characterized the nature of residual surface particles found after these processes via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Finally, we measured the surface roughness of the post-processing lattices via digital microscopy. The native lattices had a predictably high surface roughness from partially molten particles. Sandblasting effectively removed this but damaged the surface, introducing a peel-off layer, as well as leaving surface residue from the glass beads used. The addition of either abrasive polishing or electropolishing removed the peel-off layer but introduced other surface deficiencies making it more susceptible to corrosion. Finally, when electropolishing was performed after the above processes, there was a significant reduction in residual surface particles. The constitution of the particulate debris as well as the lattice surface roughness following each post-processing method varied, with potential implications for clinical use. The work provides a good base for future development of post-processing methods for additively manufactured stainless steel.

Effect Of Surface

AbstractAdhesion between bodies is strongly influenced by surface roughness. In this note, we try to clarify how the statistical properties of the contacting surfaces affect the adhesion under the assumption of long-range adhesive interactions.Specifically, we show that the adhesive interactions are influenced only by the roughness amplitude hrms, while the rms surface gradient h0rmsonly affects the non-adhesive contact force. This is a remarkable result if one takes into account the intrinsic difficulty in defining $h_{\mathrm{rms}}^{^{\prime }}.$Results are also corroborated by a comparison with self-consistent numerical calculations.

Effect Of Surface

Superplastic carburizing (SPC) is a carburizing process that combines carburizing with superplastic deformation. Since SPC involves direct interaction between the superplastically deformed surface and the solid carbon medium, the effect of surface roughness on the process cannot be disregarded. This paper presents the study of surface roughness and initial pressure effects on superplastic carburizing of duplex stainless steel (DSS). SPC was conducted under four different surface roughness (Ra) conditions of 0.9, 0.3, 0.1 and 0.03 μm. The microstructure, surface hardness, and carburized layer thickness were studied. Comparisons were also done on non-superplastic material which has a coarse microstructure. The results showed that the surface roughness strongly affected the properties of the superplastically carburized duplex stainless steel while its effects on the non-superplastic material were not that obvious.

Effect Of Surface

AbstractIn the present work, the influence of surface roughness on oxidation kinetics of AISI 316Ti stainless steel and its consequences in term of oxidation resistance were investigated. Namely, the effect of surface roughness on oxidation resistance was evaluated during different types of cyclic oxidation tests at 900 and 1000 °C. The obtained results revealed that alloy possessing higher surface roughness showed longer lifetime compared to that with lower surface roughness. It was also found that more severe cyclic conditions suppressed the positive effect of surface roughness on sample’s lifetime. The better oxidation resistance of rougher alloy was correlated with suppressed formation of Fe-rich nodules on ground surfaces and explained by the combined effect of introduced defects in the near-surface region and possible increase in residual stresses caused by mechanical surface preparation.

Effect Of Surface

The article discusses the effect of the surface conditions on the corrosion resistance of alloys based on cobalt, titanium and stainless steel, which are currently used for the manufacture of components for implantable medical devices. It is shown that an increase in surface roughness has practically no effect on the corrosion resistance of alloys based on cobalt and titanium.

Effect Of Surface

This paper proposes a method based on the spectra response of IR detectors mounted on thermographic camera for emissivity measurement at various target surface temperatures, while the reflected temperature istaken into account, and also studies on the effect of surface roughness on the emissivity value. The emissivity (ε8-14μm) of general engineering material such as iron, stainless steel, brass, copper and aluminum obtained in this paper are in agreement with other literatures. Finally, results found that the roughness and emissivity of equipment increases with increasing of the operating time.
