This study aimed to compare two different implant surface treatments of the implant system Bi-Implant (Plan 1 Health): one surface sandblasted with hydroxyapatite (HA) (Osseogrip(R)) and one machined surface. Histomorphologic and histomorphometric evaluations of the bone healing at the interface between a titanium implant and bone were performed using a light microscopic technique. Twenty-four commercially pure titanium implants with a smooth surface and 24 implants with a sandblasted surface were inserted in the tibias of 12 rabbits. The 12 rabbits were divided into three groups, each consisting of four animals, were sacrificed at 4 weeks (I group), 8 weeks (II group) and 12 weeks (III group) after the insertion of the bio-material. The results emphasized that in the sections examined with the light microscope, the bone was in intimate contact with the implant surface and the bone surrounding the implants was mostly lamellar. After 4 weeks, mature bone tightly surround-ing some areas of the implant perimeter was observed. The implant with the Osseogrip(R) surface showed an average percentage of bone-implant contact (%BIC) equal to 33%, while the one with the machined surface showed a %BIC equal to 17%. After 8 weeks, a progressive increase in mineralized bone surrounding the implant surface was detected, making the results of the machined surface superposable to the Osseogrip(R) surface results (48 and 44%). After 12 weeks, the implants with the machined surface exhibited close contact with the bone tissue corresponding to 62% of their perimeter, while for the implants with the Os-seogrip(R) surface the surface contact was 67% of the implant surface. The morphometric evaluation of %BIC at the three time points evidenced an increase in bone-titanium contact over time on both machined and Osseogrip(R) surfaces. Moreover, implants with rough surfaces demonstrated better behavior than the implants with the machined surface when taking into account the earlier osteointegration (4 weeks) of the peri-implantar tissues.

Aluminium and its alloys, especially Al6061, have gathered significant interest among researchers due to its less density, great durability, and high strength. Due to their lightweight properties, the precise machining of these alloys can become expensive through conventional machining operations for intricate products. Therefore, non-traditional machining such as electric discharge machining (EDM) can potentially be opted for the cutting of Al6061.

The development of water splitting technology in alkaline medium requires the exploration of electrocatalysts superior to Pt/C to boost the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Ruthenium oxides with strong water dissociation ability are promising candidates; however, the lack of hydrogen combination sites immensely limits their performance. Herein, we reported a unique RuO catalyst with metallic Ru on its surface through a simple cation exchange method.

For lithium-ion batteries, silicon monoxide is a potential anode material, but its application is limited by its relatively large irreversible capacity loss, which leads to its low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE). In this study, we conduct a two-step reaction for the formation of silicon oxide-based materials, including a magnesiothermic reduction of SiO with Mg, followed by the solid-state lithiation of silicon oxide with LiCO. Our results demonstrate that Mg can reduce SiO to Si and form MgSiO, while LiCO reacts with SiO to form LiSiO.

C-UHTC is an ideal aerospace material because of its exceptional properties, but its machinability is facing great challenges. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) offers a potential solution, but its removal mechanism remains unclear, lacking reliable prediction tools to guide the actual production. This paper deeply explores the EDM removal mechanism of C-ZrB-SiC through single-pulse experiments, high-speed camera observations, and thermal-fluid coupling simulations, revealing key processes like heat transfer, phase transformation, molten pool dynamics, crater formation, and reinforcing phase effects.

The electrochemical cutting technique, utilizing electrolyte flushing through micro-hole arrays in the radial direction of a tube electrode, offers the potential for cost-effective and high-surface-integrity machining of large-thickness, straight-surface structures of difficult-to-cut materials. However, fabricating the array of jet micro-holes on the tube electrode sidewall remains a significant challenge, limiting the broader application of this technology. To enhance the efficiency and quality of machining these jet micro-holes on the tube sidewall, a helical electrode electrochemical drilling method assisted by anode vibration has been proposed.
