Abstract: Titanium pins were slid against flat surfaces of alumina disks under dry condition and a normal load of 50N at sliding speeds varying from 0.1 to 4 ms−1 . Estimated strain rate and temperature ...

Abstract: The role of process identification in optimization of manufacturing systems is discussed in general terms. Optimization of a work-restricted forging process is considered in detail and it is ...

Abstract: OFHC copper pins with 10 ppm oxygen were slid against alumina at a load of 50 N and sliding speeds of 0.1 ms−1 to 4.0 ms−1 . The wear characteristics of copper were related to the strain ...

Abstract: A computer code is developed as a part of an ongoing project on computer aided process modelling of forging operation, to simulate heat transfer in a die-billet system. The code developed on ...

Abstract: Flat faces of steel pins were slid on an eutectic aluminium silicon alloy under lubricated condition in the 1–100MPa mean contact pressure range and 0.2m∕s sliding speed. Two transition in ...

Abstract: When a metal is surface ground the roughness generated is the summation of a function of the wheel roughness and the roughness due to wheel attrition and damage to the workpiece. We identify ...

Abstract: Cast aluminium alloy mica particle composites of varying mica content were tested in tension, compression, and impact. With 2.2 percent mica (size range 40μm – 120μm) the tensile and compression ...
