  • current challenges and concepts of the Thermomechanical Treatment of nickel titanium instruments
    Journal of Endodontics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ya Shen, Huimin Zhou, Yufeng Zheng, Bin Peng, Markus Haapasalo
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction The performance and mechanical properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments are influenced by factors such as cross-section, flute design, raw material, and manufacturing processes. Many improvements have been proposed by manufacturers during the past decade to provide clinicians with safer and more efficient instruments. Methods The mechanical performance of NiTi alloys is sensitive to their microstructure and associated Thermomechanical Treatment history. Heat Treatment or thermal processing is one of the most fundamental approaches toward adjusting the transition temperature in NiTi alloy, which affects the fatigue resistance of NiTi endodontic files. The newly developed NiTi instruments made from controlled memory wire, M-Wire (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK), or R-phase wire represent the next generation of NiTi alloys with improved flexibility and fatigue resistance. The advantages of NiTi files for canal cleaning and shaping are decreased canal transportation and ledging, a reduced risk of file fracture, and faster and more efficient instrumentation. The clinician must understand the nature of different NiTi raw materials and their impact on instrument performance because many new instruments are introduced on a regular basis. Results This review summarizes the metallurgical properties of next-generation NiTi instruments, the impact of Thermomechanical Treatment on instrument flexibility, and the resistance to cyclic fatigue and torsion. Conclusions The aim of this review was to provide clinicians with the knowledge necessary for evidence-based practices, maximizing the benefits from the selection and application of NiTi rotary instruments for root canal Treatment.

  • refinement of grain boundary carbides in a si cr spring steel by Thermomechanical Treatment
    Materials Science and Engineering A-structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing, 2006
    Co-Authors: Araz Ardehali Barani, Dirk Ponge, Dierk Raabe
    Abstract:

    Abstract The microstructure and mechanical properties of conventionally heat treated or Thermomechanically treated spring steel Fe–0.56C–1.50Si–0.67Cr–0.59Mn (mass%) are presented after tempering. At tempering temperatures between 623 and 673 K continuous cementite films form at the prior austenite grain boundaries when the austenite is quenched without any preceding deformation. Two austenite modifications, a recrystallized variant and an elongated pan-cake grain structure were produced by deformation prior to quenching. The first variant resulted in refined grain boundary carbides after tempering, while for the latter no grain boundary carbides were observed. Both modifications of austenite produced by Thermomechanical Treatment improve the ductility significantly.
