  • ICALEO 2006 Paper #1505 (Laser-Induced Wettability Characteristics Modification and the Effect Thereof on Cell Response on a Titanium Alloy)

    Laser-Induced Wettability Characteristics Modification and the Effect Thereof on Cell Response on a Titanium Alloy
    Authors:

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    It was found that interaction of a Nd:YAG laser beam with the Ti6Al4V alloy resulted in the wettability characteristics of the bio-metal improving. Such improvements in the wettability characteristics of the Ti6Al4V alloy were found to be due to: an increase in the surface roughness; and increase in the surface oxygen content and an increase in the polar component of the surface energy. From in vitro...

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    In order to acquire the ideal surface properties to favour osseointegration at the implant-bone interface, osteoblast cells were used in an in vitro test to examine changes in cell adhesion on a magnesia partially stabilised zirconia (MgO-PSZ) bioceramic after CO2 laser treatment. The surface roughness, microstructure, crystal size and surface energy of untreated...

    3-D Biomimetic Micro-Channel Network by Laser Direct Writing
    Authors:
    Donghyuck Kam, University of Michigan; Ann Arbor MI USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    Nanosecond and femtosecond near IR laser direct write is a useful tool for fabricating 3D, multiple-level microfluidic structures. Using a diode-pumped nanosecond fundamental Nd:YAG laser, multi-depth, multi-width microstructures on silicon were fabricated without lithography-based technology. The molten material inside the microchannel was ejected by a modified assist gas and thus the amuount of laser ablation was increased. The solidified molten material and the debris build-up due to the strong thermal reaction of silicon to the nanosecond IR...

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    Because of its biocompatibility, superelasticity and shape memory characteristics, NiTi alloys have been gaining immerse interest in the medical field. Applications such as stent and other implant devices have been widely accepted in the industry. However, there are still concerns on the wear resistance of this alloy if it is going to be implanted for a long time. Debris from wear and the subsequent release of Ni+ i...

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    Thanks to the development of diode lasers, laser hardening of steels has become a stable, less expensive and reliable process if compared to CO2 laser hardening. Nevertheless, it is still characterized by a low production rate, and the time required for the hardening of a component is often not compatible with the limited cycle time imposed by the high investment costs of the laser technology. The present paper is a con...

    Claude B. Reed, Argonne National Laboratory; Argonne IL USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    Aluminum die casting dies, used to cast the light automobile parts for better fuel economy, face two major failure mechanisms: hot check and soldering. Hot check is a failure phenomenon of surface thermal cracks caused by thermal cycling loads during die casting. And soldering is a failure in which the melted aluminum chemically reacts with die surface material and bonds to the surface after solidification. Die casting dies are extremely expensive and their costs accou...

    Currently, orbital hand sanding is used to remove paint from composite rotor blades during refurbishment operations. This method is time consuming, expensive, generates significant hazardous waste, and often results in secondary damage to the blade. Safe, effective removal of paint can be achieved using laser processing ...
