SILVER, COPPER AND ALUMINIUM COATINGS FOR MICRO-MATERIAL HANDLING OPERATIONS

An Operations Planner for Integrated Shop Floor Material Processing and Material Handling Operations

Planning that incorporates critical resource and part constraints due to manufacturing processing as well as material handling tolerance and kinematic requirements has not been reported in the existing literature. By integrating these manufacturing resource and part constraints using object-oriented design, our new operations planner creates immediately executable manufacturing plans for flexib...

PVD coatings on aluminium substrates

It is well known that aluminium is today the most widely used metallic material besides steel. The mechanical characteristics of aluminium offer an increasing application field, especially where lightweight constructions are required. The demands for improved characteristics such as higher strength and greater durability are achieved by the development of new aluminium alloys. Continuous effort...

Renal handling of aluminium.

Aluminium (Al) is absorbed from a variety of foodstuffs and medications. Its major route of elimination from the body is in the urine. However, current knowledge concerning its glomerular filtration and, more particularly, its reabsorption/secretion is fragmentary. Most (80-90%) of Al in the plasma is normally bound to protein (mainly transferrin) and is therefore unfilterable; the remainder is...
