This study explores the fatigue behavior and fracture mechanisms of TC11 titanium alloy formed by laser metal deposition (LMD) and subjected to double annealing. The research focuses on how the alloy's unique microstructure, consisting of alternating equiaxed and columnar crystals, influences its fatigue performance. The microstructure's basket-like α' phase, made up of both plate-shaped and needle-like structures, leads to variations in crack growth behavior, as shown in the relationship between the crack growth rate and the stress intensity. An analysis of slip patterns reveals that equiaxed crystals undergo more frequent deformation, accelerating crack propagation compared to the more evenly distributed deformation in columnar crystals. These findings suggest a new approach for improving the fatigue resistance of 3D-printed titanium alloys by optimizing their microstructure. This study provides valuable insights for enhancing material toughness and extending the lifespan of titanium alloys in applications such as aerospace and biomedical engineering.

This study evaluated the survival probabilities of two lithia-based glass-ceramics after final crystallization in a microwave furnace using conventional crystallization as a reference. Disc-shaped samples of a lithium silicate (LS, Celtra Duo) and a lithium disilicate (LD, e.max CAD) were prepared and divided into two groups according to the crystallization method (n = 30): microwave (M) or conventional furnaces (C).

Background: Virtual reality (VR) training uses computer-generated simulations that enable users to engage with immersive virtual environments, simulating real-world activities or therapeutic exercises. This technology is increasingly recognized as a promising intervention to address the physical and psychological challenges faced by dialysis patients, who frequently experience diminished physical function, social isolation, and emotional distress associated with prolonged treatment regimens. Given the increasing prevalence of dialysis patients and the limitations of conventional rehabilitation approaches, VR presents a novel, interactive method that has the potential to enhance patient well-being and improve quality of life.
