Small-scale testing of micromechanical response of cemented carbides

Sandoval Ravotti, Daniela Andreina (Date of defense: 2019-11-11)

Cemented carbides are composite materials widely used in different industry fields within applications involving wear, due to their outstanding wear resistance. The most commonly used are WC-Co grades, for Co wettability ...

Surface characterization and cell instructive properties of superficially modified dental zirconia

Minguela Díaz, Joaquim (Date of defense: 2021-07-21)

Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia doped with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP) has become one of the most popular dental ceramics. Thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties (including high hardness. Toughness and wear ...

Synthesis and characterization of oxides produced by high temperature corrosion on grade 300 and 350 maraging steels

Cerra Flórez, Mauro Andrés (Date of defense: 2021-10-04)

The aging heat treatments in maraging steels are fundamental to achieving their excellent mechanical properties and, in some applications using oxidation surface treatments lead to induce a superficial layer formed by iron ...
