Local Corrosion Behaviors in the Coarse-Grained Heat-Affected Zone in a Newly Developed Zr-Ti-Al-RE Deoxidized High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel.

Oxide metallurgy technology can improve the microstructure of a coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) but introduces extra inclusions. Local corrosion behavior of the CGHAZ of a Zr-Ti-Al-RE deoxidized steel was investigated in this work using theoretical calculations and experimental verification. The modified inclusions have a (Zr-Mg-Al-Ca-RE)O core claded by a CaS and TiN shell.

[Clinical application of cone beam computed tomography combined with micro-ultrasound technique in treating three mesial canals in mandibular first molars].

Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro-ultrasound technique for the treatment of three mesial canals in mandibular first molars. The three mesial canals according to Pomeranz's classification were characterized. Methods A total of 75 permanent mandibular first molars for root canal treatment were randomly selected from patients belonging to the age group of 14-60 years.
