Effect of aging temperatures on the microstructural stability and mechanical properties of Super304H steel by You Li, Xue Wang

“…During aging at 700 °C/5000 h, the Super304H steel retained fine grains. In addition to the Nb(C,N) and Cu-rich phases, some σ phase was observed, and a few M23C6 shells precipitated around the primary Nb(C,N) inside the grains due to the similar configuration with the {111} plane of the interface between Nb(C,N) and the austenite matrix. …”

Influence of Titanium Alloy Scaffolds on Enzymatic Defense against Oxidative Stress and Bone Marrow Cell Differentiation by Lais Morandini Rodrigues, Elis Andrade Lima Zutin, Elisa Mattias Sartori, Daniela Baccelli Silveira Mendonça, Gustavo Mendonça, Yasmin Rodarte Carvalho, Luana Marotta Reis de Vasconcellos

“…At day 14, all scaffolds had more than 2-fold induction for Runx2 mRNA levels, with statistically significant differences compared to the control group. Even though we were not able to confirm statistically significant differences to justify the replacement of TiAlV regarding antioxidant enzymes, TiNbZrTa was able to induce faster bone formation at early time points, making it a good choice for biomedical and tissue bioengineering applications.…”
