Congratulations to the student on her graduation.

Abstract:.

The study aimed to  alter the implant surface and make it more effective, vital for medical uses. In the present work, Modifications achieved by deposition Nano zirconia and yttria powders on different titanium-base alloys produced using  powder technology technique ;  Chemical etching pretreatments is done for implant samples (Ti-pure, Ti-45%Ni, Ti-10%Co and Ti-30%Ta) and the deposition process carried out by pack cementation to produced Nano ceramic materials at implant surface. Where the best results of the four alloys were shown in medical tests and their effect in cell viability and adhesion, adding that the deposition process in this way is useful for medical applications, not just industrial.

The Department of Materials Engineering/ University of Technology met with its new students for the academic year 2020-2021 through a welcoming ceremony at the University Theatre on Tuesday 12/01/2021.

The ceremony was attended by the President of the University of Technology ( Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghaban), the head of Materials Engineering Department (Assist. Prof. Dr. Hussein Alaa Jaber), the assistant head of the Department for Scientific Affairs (Lec.Dr. Muhannad Najah Jawad), the assistant head of administrative affairs (Assist. Prof. Dr. Laith Wadah Ismail), and many teaching staff of the department.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the national anthem was sung and Surat al-Fatiha read to the martyrs of Iraqi heroes. The President of the University gave a welcoming speech to the new students and attendees, as the head of the department gave a welcoming speech to the new students with a brief about the history and importance of the department of materials engineering.

The ceremony also included an introductory lecture on materials engineering and applications delivered by Assist. Prof. Dr. Kazem Matar Shabib. Assist. Prof. Dr. Laith Wadah Ismail and Lec. Dr. Muhannad Najah Jawad gave a speech on the importance of material engineer in life and a general idea for the facilities and branches of the Materials Engineering department.

At the end of the ceremony, Lec .Dr. Muhannad Najah Jawad with some of the teaching staff of the department escorted the new students in a tour at the university to get acquainted with her access to the department of materials engineering and finally take a souvenir photo.

Assist Prof. Dr. Laith Wadhah Ismail takes office as an assist head of materials Engineering Department for management affairs according to university letter  No. 185 in 01/11/2021. The Materials Engineering Department staff blesses and hopes more successful in his scientific life.
