  2. Hydroxyapatite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyapatite

    Nano-hydroxyapatite was proven to be better than other treatments at reducing sensitivity against evaporative stimuli, such as an air blast, and tactile stimuli, such as tapping the tooth with a dental instrument. However, no difference was seen between nano-hydroxyapatite and other treatments for cold stimuli. [30]

  3. Roof cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_cleaning

    Roof cleaning is the process of removing algae, [1] mold, mildew, lichen and moss from roofs. [2] Also cleaning oxidation on metal roofs. Cleaning can extend the duration of a roof's ability to function. [2] Algae and other types of build-up often form on the north and west parts of roofs that are shaded or receive less sun, and can reduce a ...

  4. Quench polish quench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quench_polish_quench

    Quench polish quench (QPQ) is a specialized type of nitrocarburizing case hardening that increases corrosion resistance. It is sometimes known by the brand name of Tufftride, Tenifer or Melonite. [ 1 ]

  5. Electropolishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropolishing

    Creates a clean, smooth surface that is easier to sterilise. Can polish areas that are inaccessible by other polishing methods. Removes a small amount of material (typically 20-40 micrometre in depth in the case of stainless steel) from the surface of the parts, while also removing small burrs or high spots. It can be used to reduce the size of ...

  6. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

    In contrast, the oxide polystyrene composites are more durable than the gel-based coatings, however the process fof applying the coating is much more involved and costly. Carbon nano-tubes are also expensive and difficult to produce with current technology. Thus, the silica-based gels remain the most economically viable option at present.

  7. Chemical-mechanical polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical-mechanical_polishing

    The process uses an abrasive and corrosive chemical slurry (commonly a colloid) in conjunction with a polishing pad and retaining ring, typically of a greater diameter than the wafer. The pad and wafer are pressed together by a dynamic polishing head and held in place by a plastic retaining ring.

  8. Superhard material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhard_material

    As diamond is less stable than graphite, c-BN is less stable than h-BN, but the conversion rate between those forms is negligible at room temperature. [ 30 ] Cubic boron nitride is insoluble in iron, nickel, and related alloys at high temperatures, but it binds well with metals due to formation of interlayers of metal borides and nitrides.

  9. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

    Polishing stainless steel can also increase its sanitary benefits. The removal of oxidization (tarnish) from metal objects is accomplished using a metal polish or tarnish remover; this is also called polishing. To prevent further unwanted oxidization, polished metal surfaces may be coated with wax, oil, or lacquer.
