Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the constituent minerals of bone and teeth, that has been widely used for synthesizing bone graft. Due to the limitation on properties of the hydroxyapatite, it is doping with Magnesium (HAp-Mg). The addition of Chitosan (Chi) was expected to improve the antibacterial properties of HAp-Mg. The present research aims to study the influence of Chitosan with 0, 5, 15, and 25 wt% addition on biocompatibility properties of Chi/HAp-Mg composite. HAp-Mg was synthesized using the sol-gel method; meanwhile, Chi/HAp-Mg composite was manufactured by mixing Chitosan in acetic acid, and HAp-Mg was added into the mixture. The …

Impression Creep Behavior In Weldments, S.H. Wang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

At high temperature application, the failures of dissimilar metal weldments associated with the relevant degradation processes, which include chemical diffusion, oxide notching, precipitation, softening of the heat affected zone (HAZ), and creep type voids leading to cracking. This reveals that a creep in a gradient related to the microstructural degradation exists. The impression creep test was applied to monitor the effects of microstructural gradients on the localized high temperature creep properties in an autogeneous GTA aluminum weldment, and an austenitic stainless steel to ferritic steel dissimilar metal weldment respectively. To simplify the complexity of microstructural gradients, multipass weldments in A36 …
