In the paper analytical optimization of discontinuous grinding parameters according to temperature criterion is carried out and on its basis conditions for significant reduction cutting temperature, which consist mainly in increasing number contacts working ledges wheel with fixed cross-section machined workpiece, are determined. It established by calculations that providing 20 may be reduced u...

A small salt gradient solar pond with an average surface area of 1.8 m2 and depth of 0.8m has been tested. The depths of storage, gradient and surface zones are 0.3, 0.27 and 0.07m, respectively. The temperature of the storage zone for the summer days reaches its maximum of 65˚ C after about 8 days. Daily variation of the storage zone temperature was about 8˚C which is due to small volume of th...

the new non-conventional cutting process by the use of thermal shock is a convenient procedure for cutting the brittle materials such as glasses and ceramics. this method is based on the application of localized thermal shock to brittle materials by the use of hot air jet, which induces thermal stresses at the tip of an existed pre-crack. due to the thermo-elastic behavior of materials, the pre...

Oviposition by northern corn rootworms, Diabrotica barberi Smith and Lawrence, and western corn rootworms, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), key pests of corn in the Great Plains of the USA, occurs in the soil during late summer. Overwintering eggs are exposed to variable soil moisture and temperatures below − 5 ° C. The winter mortality of eggs in the soil is ...

A slip-line field model for orthogonal cutting with step-type chip breaker assuming adhesion friction at chip/tool interface is developed using Kudo’s basic slip-line field. An alternative method is suggested for estimation of breaking strain in the chip. The model proposed predicts that with decrease in distance of chip breaker from the cutting edge of the tool, the breaking strain and shear s...

Quality improvements in laser cutting of mild steel have been achieved by a newly developed model-based optimisation strategy. The specific aims of such efforts are to assure quality of cut right up to pre-cut sections and boundaries, which are inherent in intricate part programs. Such boundaries frustrate heat transfer and result in bulk heating of the workpiece. This in turn leads to a degrad...

The influences of storage temperature and modified O2 and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere on the post-cutting life and quality of fresh-cut pineapple (Ananas comosus) were studied. Temperature was the main factor affecting post-cutting life, which ranged from 4 days at 10 ◦C to over 14 days at 2.2 and 0 ◦C. The end of post-cutting life was signaled by a sharp increase in CO2 production fol...

It not normally exceed 200 words titanium alloy called “strategic metal” is a typical refractory material that causes high temperature vibration during cutting due its strength, low thermal conductivity elastic modulus. In processing process, tool wear serious, ...
