Experimental investigation of hot-wire laser deposition for the additive manufacturing of titanium parts by Nirut Naksuk, Pattarawadee Poolperm, Jiradech Nakngoenthong, Waravut Printrakoon, Rattanapon Yuttawiriya

“…Finally, the suitable hot wire laser welding parameters should be 0.183 cm s ^−1 for the welding speed, the wire current of 40 A, and the wire feeding speed of 1.00 m min ^−1 are 0.183 cm s ^−1 for welding speed, 40 A for wire current, and 1.00 m min ^−1 for wire feeding speed, which will give the average Vicker microhardness of 321.00–345.80 HV, the average tensile strength of 432.02 MPa (substrate); 670.30 MPa (horizontal direction), 497.39 MPa (vertical direction).…”

The Effects of Two Root Canal Irrigants and Different Instruments on Dentin Microhardness ( In Vitro Study) by Wiaam MO AL-Ashou

“…Materials & methods: The teeth divided in to four groups according to the type of irrigating solutions that used during root canal instrumentation with the use of normal saline as a control group, then each group sub divided in groups according to the instrument used in the root canal preparation, then after irrigation and preparation the roots sliced and root dentin microhardness measured using Vicker,s microhardness machine. Results: The result of this study showed that the type of instrument and Chlorhexidine have no effect on the microhardness of root canal dentin while Sodium Hypochlorite significantly decrease the microhardness of root canal dentin especially when use with Stainless Steel K-files and Nickel-Titanium K-files than when used with rotary Nickel-Titanium files. …”
