It is true that a few articles have appeared in various periodicals on the subject, but with scarcely an exception they treated only of Working on Wood, and the directions given were generally crude and imperfect. This is the more surprising when we consider how fashionable Repousse Work has become of late years, both here and in America; indeed, in the latter country, "Do you pound brass ?

  • Antibacterial Property and Biocompatibility of Silver, Copper, and Zinc in Titanium Dioxide Layers Incorporated by One-Step Micro-Arc Oxidation: a Review
    antibiotics Review Antibacterial Property and Biocompatibility of Silver, Copper, and Zinc in Titanium Dioxide Layers Incorporated by One-Step Micro-Arc Oxidation: A Review Masaya Shimabukuro Department of Biomaterials, Faculty of Dental Science, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-92-642-6346 Received: 3 October 2020; Accepted: 19 October 2020; Published: 20 October 2020 Abstract: Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are commonly used in medical devices. However, biomaterial-associated infections such as peri-implantitis and prosthetic joint infections are devastating and threatening complications for patients, dentists, and orthopedists and are easily developed on titanium surfaces. Therefore, this review focuses on the formation of biofilms on implant surfaces, which is the main cause of infections, and one-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) as a coating technology that can be expected to prevent infections due to the implant. Many researchers have provided sufficient data to prove the efficacy of MAO for preventing the initial stages of biofilm formation on implant surfaces. Silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are well used and are incorporated into the Ti surface by MAO. In this review, the antibacterial properties, cytotoxicity, and durability of these elements on the Ti surface incorporated by one-step MAO will be summarized. This review is aimed at enhancing the importance of the quantitative control of Ag, Cu, and Zn for their use in implant surfaces and the significance of the biodegradation behavior of these elements for the development of antibacterial properties. Keywords: titanium; biofilm; infection; micro-arc oxidation; silver; copper; zinc; antibacterial properties; coating; implant 1.

  • Titanium Alloy Data Sheet
    M Titanium Alloy Data Sheet Description Titanium equipment is often used in severe corrosive environments encountered in the chemical processing industries. Titanium has been considered an exotic “wonder metal” by many. This was particularly true in reference to castings. However, increasing demands and rapidly advancing technology have permitted titanium castings to be commercially available at an economical cost. The combination of its cost, strength, corrosion resistance, and service life in very demanding corrosive environments suggest its selection in applications where titanium castings have never been considered in the past. Specifications Flowserve’s commercially pure titanium (C.P.-Ti) castings conform to ASTM Specification B367, Grade C-3. Flowserve’s palladium stabilized titanium (Ti-Pd) castings conform to Grade Ti-Pd 8A. Composition C.P.-Ti (C-3) Ti-Pd (8A) Element Percent Percent Nitrogen 0.05 max. 0.05 max.

Head of Department’s Name Signature Date ii ABSTRACT The focus of this study was to explore and incorporate various artistic and non artistic media into the production of metal art. The researcher was particularly interested in integrating more non metallic materials that are not traditional to the production of metal art in the decoration, finishing and the protective coating of metal art works. Basic hand forming techniques including raising, chasing and repoussé, piercing and soldering were employed in the execution of the works. Other techniques such as painting, dyeing and macramé were also used. Non metallic media that were used in the production of the works included leather, nail polish, acrylic paint, epoxy, formica glue, graphite, eye pencil, lagging, foam, wood, shoe polish, shoe lace, eggshell paper, spray paint, cotton cords and correction fluid.

  • Titanium Mineral Concentrates1
    TITANIUM MINERAL CONCENTRATES1 (Data in thousand metric tons of TiO2 content unless otherwise noted) Domestic Production and Use: In 2020, one company was recovering ilmenite and rutile concentrates from its surface-mining operations near Nahunta, GA, and Starke, FL. A second company processed existing mineral sands mine tailings in Florida and South Carolina. Based on reported data through October 2020, the estimated value of titanium mineral and synthetic concentrates imported into the United States was $520 million. Abrasive sands, monazite, and zircon were coproducts of domestic mining operations. About 90% of titanium mineral concentrates were consumed by domestic titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment producers. The remaining 10% was used in welding-rod coatings and for manufacturing carbides, chemicals, and titanium metal.

  • Titanium Tetrachloride
    Titanium tetrachloride 7550-45-0 Hazard Summary Environmental exposure to titanium tetrachloride is unlikely because it breaks down rapidly in water. Titanium tetrachloride is highly irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes in humans. Acute (short-term) exposure may result in surface skin burns and marked congestion and constriction of various sections of the upper respiratory tract in humans. Acute exposure may also damage the eyes. Diseases of the lung (pleural diseases) have been associated with chronic (long-term) occupational exposure of titanium tetrachloride in titanium metal production workers. Chronic inhalation exposure may result in upper respiratory tract irritation, chronic bronchitis, cough, bronchoconstriction, wheezing, chemical pneumonitis, or pulmonary edema in humans. EPA has not classified titanium tetrachloride with respect to carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main source of information for this fact sheet is the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Titanium Tetrachloride. (3) Uses Titanium tetrachloride is used as an intermediate in the production of titanium metal, titanium dioxide, and titanium pigments, in the manufacture of iridescent glass and artificial pearls, as a polymerization catalyst, and to produce smoke screens. (1,3) Titanium tetrachloride was formerly used with potassium bitartrate as mordant in the textile industry and with dyewoods in dyeing leather. (1,3,4) Sources and Potential Exposure Occupational exposure to titanium tetrachloride may occur via inhalation or dermal contact during its manufacture and use. (3) Because titanium tetrachloride rapidly hydrolyzes upon contact with water, it is unlikely to be transported significant distances in any environmental media. No information is available on the concentration of titanium tetrachloride in air, water, soil, or food.

  • Palladium Devices for the Activation of Anti-Cancer Prodrugs Mohammad
    Design and Manufacture of Functional Titanium- Palladium Devices for the Activation of Anti-cancer Prodrugs by Mohammad N. Alqahtani Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering Loughborough University Supervised by: Dr. Carmen Torres-Sánchez Prof. Paul Conway A Doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy March 2019 ©M.N.Alqahtani, 2019 Abstract National health organisations and authorities have reported an increment in death cases due to cancer. To overcome this issue and improve the survival rate, it is needed to find new clinical methods, early diagnoses techniques and treatments. Radiation and chemotherapy have been used for years to treat cancer. However, these types of treatments have serious side effects such as hair loosing, the mortality of healthy cells and other organs. A new treatment based on prodrugs therapy is in development with the intention to reduce these side effects or to replace the harmful treatments completely. Prodrug treatments need an activation agent, i.e. a catalyst, to convert the prodrug delivered to the cancerous cells to an active drug in-situ. Metals such as palladium can be used as a catalyst to activate the prodrug in targeted cancer cells. In this PhD study, the research was divided into two major aspects. The first aspect was to design and manufacture a catalyst carrier with specific properties and specifications such as biocompatibility of the materials used as the carrier, suitable mechanical properties to withstand physiological loads and conditions, and cost efficiency of the production. Two different manufacturing methods were used, Powder Metallurgy technique and Arc Melting technique, to achieve the optimal fabrication method.
