    Sukuroglu, Suleyman; Totik, Yasar; Sukuroglu, Ebru Emine; Avci, Selcuk

    LA91 magnesium alloy is a super lightweight magnesium -lithium alloy proposed for next generation materials. In addition to the advantages of these alloys such as low density, high strength-to -weight ratio, specific stiffness and brittleness, these alloys also have disadvantages such as low corrosion resistance and the oxide -carbonate film formed on the surfaces of the alloys cannot provide sufficient corrosion protection even in non-corrosive environments. In this study, micro arc oxidation, one of the coating methods, was applied to LA91 alloy. The surface morphologies of the coatings were characterized and it was aimed to increase the corrosion resistance of LA91 alloy. For this purpose, potentiodynamic polarization tests were carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature to draw attention to the protection of the coating. As a result of the tests, it was determined that the oxide coatings raised on the surface

    Wear Behavior of Dental Restorative Materials

    Sen, Sadri; Zamanlou, Hamid; Karabudak, Filiz; Süküroglu, Ebru Emine

    Gradual wear of opposing teeth is a normal phenomenon in human dentition. There is a need for quality dental restorative materials to repair or replace natural teeth to ensure a higher quality of life through dental health. One of the main physiological mechanism that exists in dental materials during normal muscle function is called abrasion. There are two types of that in teeth which are common; Two-body and three-body. If the teeth are contacted directly, it is referred to as two-body abrasion. However, when there is abrasive slurry-like food between the teeth, this abrasive is called to be three-body abrasive. Several types of materials are available in current dentistry for teeth restoration and replacement, and new materials are being promoted every year. Dental specialists need to understand the wear mechanisms of these new types of dental restorative materials, alone or in combination with either enamel or other dental restorative material. The present study evaluates the abrasive resistance of three restorative materials groups: direct composites, indirect composites, and ceramics. To define the resistance of the wear, the authors then perform a micro-wear test on chosen materials. The results show that the wear mechanism is abrasive due to its low hardness compared to zirconia ball. The wear path in the nanohybrid (Grandio (R), 87s% w/w (71s% volume) inorganic nanohybrid filler, BisGMA, UDMA, TEGDMA) sample was smooth and without particles. In this study wear FEM analysis calculated for all models and the answers compared with experimental data.
