Patient-specific dynamic loadings are seldom considered during the evaluation of hip implants. The primary objective of this study is to check for the feasibility of the use of UHMWPE as the material for an acetabular cup o CoCr Alloy that is reported to produce a squeaking sound after replacement. An elliptical shaped stem with three different cross-sectional profiles is considered for simulation. Using a commercial finite element method, patient-specific dynamic forces were applied for the quantitative analysis. The loading and boundary conditions are used as per ISO and ASTM standards. The walking gait cycle is used with two widely used biocompatible materials: titanium and cobalt-chromium. Initially, only the stem is considered for the analysis to finalize the best out of the three profiles, along with the better material for the stem. Later the complete implant is used for the analysis. Profile 1 exhibits 1.25 and 1.17 times greater stress than Profile 2 for CoCr Alloy and Ti-6Al-4V, respectively. Similarly, Profile 3 displays stresses 1.26 and 1.25 times greater than Profile 2 for CoCr Alloy and Ti-6Al-4V, respectively. Comparatively, displacement in stem Profile 2 is 1.75 times higher in Ti-6Al-4V than CoCr Alloy. The full implant displacement at 14% gait cycle is 1.15% higher for the CoCr-acetabular column material combination when compared to UHMWPE. It can be concluded that UHMWPE can be used as the acetabular cup material instead of CoCr for the Profile 2 elliptical shaped hip implant to prevent squeaking after replacement.

Statement Of Problem: Infrared radiation heating (IRH) technology has been innovatively applied to the annealing of selective laser melted (SLM) cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) frameworks. However, previous studies have not reported the effects of IRH on the warping deformation and mechanical properties of these frameworks.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effects of IRH on the warping deformation and mechanical properties of dental SLM Co-Cr alloy and to evaluate its potential applications in dental restorations.

Non-volatile electronic memory elements are very attractive for applications, not only for information storage but also in logic circuits, sensing devices and neuromorphic computing. Here, a ferroelectric film of guanine nucleobase is used in a resistive memory junction sandwiched between two different ferromagnetic films of Co and CoCr alloys. The magnetic films have an in-plane easy axis of magnetization and different coercive fields whereas the guanine film ensures a very long spin transport length, at 100 K.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

Statement Of Problem: The mechanical properties and microstructure of cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloys should be considered when choosing the best alloy for each clinical situation. More information is needed on the digital manufacturing methods of metals in dentistry, such as computer numerical control (CNC), and direct laser metal sintering (DMLS).
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the 3 different Co-Cr manufacturing processes on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Co-Cr dental alloys.

Purpose: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) crowns on Corticobasal® implant abutments, evaluating the effects of two surface treatments and two luting agents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty Co-Cr crowns were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology with a direct metal laser sintering process and divided into three groups based on surface treatment: Group I (untreated), Group II (sandblasted with 50 μm Al₂O₃), and Group III (Er: YAG laser etching). Each group was further subdivided based on luting cement: Sub group A (GC Fuji Plus) and Sub group B (Rely X U200).
