An ideal biomaterial for dental implants must have very high biocompatibility, which means that such materials should not provoke any serious adverse tissue response. Also, used metal alloys must have high fatigue resistance due the masticatory force and good corrosion resistance. These properties are rendered by using alpha and beta stabilizers, such as Al, V, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn. Commercially pure titanium (TiCP) is used often for dental and orthopedic implants manufacturing. However, sometimes other alloys are employed and consequently it is essential to research the chemical elements present in those alloys that could bring prejudice for the health. Present work investigated TiCP metal alloys used for dental implant manufacturing and evaluated the presence of stabilizing elements within existing limits and standards for such materials. For alloy characterization and identification of stabilizing elements it was used EDXRF technique. This method allows to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of the materials using the spectra of the characteristic X-rays emitted by the elements present in the metal samples. The experimental setup was based on two X- rays tubes (AMPTEK Mini X model with Ag and Au targets), a X-123SDD detector (AMPTEK) and a 0.5mm Cu collimator, developed due to the sample characteristics. The other experimental setup used as a complementary technique is composed of an X-ray tube with a Mo target, collimator 0.65mm and XFlash (SDD) detector - ARTAX 200 (BRUKER). Other method for elemental characterization by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) applied in present work was based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) EVO® (Zeeis). This method also was used to evaluate the surface microstructure of the sample. The percentual of Ti obtained in the elementary characterization was among 93.35 ± 0.17% and 95.34 ± 0.19 %. These values are considered below the reference limit of 98.635% to 99.5% for TiCP, established by Association of metals centric materials engineers and scientists Society (ASM). The presence of elements Al and V in all samples also contributed to underpin the fact that are not TiCP implants. The values for Al vary between 6.3 ± 1.3% and 3.7 ± 2.0% and for V, between 0.26 ± 0.09% and 0.112 ± 0.048%. According to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), these elements should not be present in TiCP and in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the presence of Al should be <0.01% and V should be of 0.009 ± 0.001%. Obtained results showed that implant materials are not exactly TiCP but, were manufactured using Ti-Al-V alloy, which contained Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn. The quantitative analysis and elementary characterization of experimental results shows that the best accuracy and precision were reached with X-Ray tube with Au target and collimator of 0.5 mm. Use of technique of EDS confirmed the results of EDXRF for Ti-Al-V alloy. Evaluating the surface microstructure by SEM of the implants, it was possible to infer that ten of the thirteen studied samples are contemporaneous, rough surface and three with machined surface.

Durante sua utilização, tubos que operam na pirólise de substâncias orgânicas sofrem degradação estrutural resultante dos mecanismos de carburização que, em geral, levam à falha dos tubos. A carburização decorre da quantidade de carbono disponível na pirólise, que chega a formar uma camada intensa de coque no interior dos tubos. Para a retirada do coque, é introduzido vapor no intuito de queimá-lo que, adicionalmente, deixa carbono na superfície para a carburização. Este trabalho analisa os aspectos metalúrgicos envolvidos no ataque das liga Fe-Cr- Ni através da carburização, onde falhas catastróficas podem ocorrer devido às tensões térmicas geradas nas paradas de retirada do coque formado. Os tubos usados são fabricados com as ligas HP40 e HPX. Ligas ricas em cromo e níquel são utilizados; no caso do níquel a estabilização da estrutura austenítica e do cromo pela formação de uma camada protetora de óxido. No entanto, tempos prolongados de emprego da liga pode gerar quebra da barreira protetora e, então, proporcionar a difusão do carbono para o material, causando mudanças microestuturais que irão afetar as propriedades metalúrgicas Neste trabalho foram analisadas microestruturas de ligas com 25% Cr e 35% Ni que operaram por 20.000 e 37.000 horas, bem como a realização de uma série de tratamentos térmicos com ligas 25% Cr 35% Ni e 35% Cr 45% Ni sem uso, a fim de se estabelecer à relação existente entre a difusão do carbono e a microestrutura resultante. De posse destes dados, foram realizadas análises em microscopia, ensaios mecânicos, dilatometria e modelamento das tensões térmicas geradas nas paradas de decoking. Foi, também, desenvolvido uma metodologia capaz de relacionar a espessura da camada difundida de carbono com o magnetismo existente na superfície interna causada pela formação de precipitados magnéticos.

Nickel alloys are frequently used in applications that require resistance at high temperatures associated with resistance to corrosion. Alloys of Ni-Si-C can be obtained by means of powder metallurgy in which powder mixtures are made of metallic nickel powders with additions of various alloying carriers for such were used in this study SiC, Si3N4 or Si metal with graphite. Carbonyl Ni powder with mean particle size of 11 mM were mixed with 3 wt% of SiC powders with an average particle size of 15, 30 and 50 μm and further samples were obtained containing 4 to 5% by mass of SiC with average particle size of 15 μm. Samples were also obtained by varying the carrier alloy, these being Si3N4 powder with graphite, with average particle size of 1.5 and 5 μm, respectively. As a metallic Si graphite with average particle size of 12.5 and 5 μm, respectively. The reference material used was nickel carbonyl sintered without adding carriers. Microstructural characterization of the alloys was made by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with semi-quantitative chemical analysis. We determined the densities of the samples and measurement of microhardness. We studied the dissociation of carriers alloy after sintering at 1200 ° C for 60 minutes. Was evaluated also in the same sintering conditions, the influence of the variation of average particle size of the SiC carrier to the proportion of 3% by mass. Finally, we studied the influence of variation of the temperatures of sintering at 950, 1080 and 1200 ° C without landing and also with heights of 30, 60, 120 and 240 minutes for sintering where the temperature was 950 °C. Dilatometry curves showed that the SiC sintered Ni favors more effectively than other carriers alloy analyzed. SiC with average particle size of 15 μm active sintering the alloy more effectively than other SiC used. However, with the chemical and morphological analyzes for all leagues, it was observed that there was dissociation of SiC and Si3N4, as well as diffusion of Si in Ni matrix and carbon cluster and dispersed in the matrix, which also occurred for the alloys with Si carriers and metallic graphite. So the league that was presented better results containing Si Ni with graphite metallic alloy as carriers, since this had dispersed graphite best in the league, reaching the microstructural model proposed, which is necessary for material characteristic of solid lubricant, so how we got the best results when the density and hardness of the alloy

Carbide reinforced metallic alloys potentially improve some important mechanical properties required for the overall use of important engineering materials such as steel and nickel. Nevertheless, improved performance is achieved not only by composition enhancement but also by adequate processing techniques, such as novel sintering methods in the case of powder metallurgy. The method minimizes energy losses in addition to providing uniform heating during sintering. Thus, the general objective of this study was to evaluate the density, hardness, flexural strength, dilatometric behavior and to analyze the microstructure of metal matrix composites based nickel with addition of carbides of tantalum and / or niobium when sintered in a conventional furnace and Plasma assisted debinding and sintering (PADS). Initially, were defineds best parameters of granulation, screening and mixing procedure. After, mixtures of carbonyl Ni and 5%, 10% and 15 wt.% NbC and TaC were prepared in a Y-type mixer under wet conditions during 60 minutes. The mixtures were then dried and granulated using 1.5 wt. % paraffin diluted in hexane. Granulates were cold pressed under 600 MPa. Paraffin was then removed from the pressed pellets during a pre-sintering process carried out in a tubular furnace at 500 °C during 30 min. The heating rate was 3 ºC/min. The pellets were then sintered using either a plasma assisted reactor or a conventional resistive tubular furnace. For both methods, the heating rate was set to 8 ºC/min up to 1150 °C. The holding time was 60 minutes. The microstructure of the sintered samples was evaluated by SEM. Brinell hardness tests were also carried out. The results revealed that higher density and higher hardness values were observed in the plasma-assisted sintered samples. Hardness increased with the concentration of carbides in the Ni-matrix. The flexural strength also increased by adding the carbides. The decline was larger for the sample with addition of 5% 5% TaC and NbC. In general, compositions containing added carbide 10% showed less porous and more uniform distribution of carbides in the nickel matrix microstructural appearance. Thus, both added carbide and plasma sintering improved density, hardness, flexural strength and microstructural appearance of the composites

O conhecimento das propriedades termofísicas é de fundamental importância para o estudo de ligas metálicas obtidas por solidificação,uma vez que esta se relaciona de forma direta com o coeficiente de transferência de calor na interface metal/molde. Assim, o Grupo de Pesquisa em Metalurgia e de Meio Ambiente – GAPEMM da Universidade Federal do Pará desenvolve uma linha de pesquisa que propõe um conjunto de técnicas e procedimentos que visa determiná-las. Por outro lado, sabe-se que existe uma correlação significativa entre processo, estrutura e propriedades de um material obtido por solidificação, visto que a distribuição de soluto em uma liga metálica ocorre de maneira não uniforme. A maneira como ocorre solidificação e a quantificação das variáveis envolvidas no processo têm influência fundamental nas propriedades do material. O presente trabalho utilizou ligas Al-Cu (Al-2%Cu, Al-5%Cu e Al-8%Cu) obtidas por solidificação unidirecional vertical ascendente, realizado através de um dispositivo projetado, construído e aferido pelo GAPEMM. Através destas, pretende-se fazer um estudo do calor específico à medida que a frente de solidificação se afasta da chapa molde bem como com o aumento do teor de soluto. Para isso, foi utilizada uma técnica conhecida na literatura como Lei de Resfriamento de Newton, a qual possibilita através das curvas de temperatura x tempo determinar as temperaturas necessárias para o cálculo do calor específico.
