INTRODUCTION Aluminium is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminium has been implicated in neurological disease including Alzheimer's disease. Here we present the first comprehensive and unequivocal data demonstrating significantly elevated brain aluminium content in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminium. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old Caucasian man who died with ...

This study presents a detailed numerical investigation into the web buckling behaviour exhibited by high-strength aluminium alloy channels, namely 7075-T6 and AA-6086, when subjected to concentrated loading. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was established verified using experimental data reported other researchers, material properties of AA-6086 were obtained through literature. parametri...

Urinary excretion of aluminium after a successful transplant can reverse pre-transplant aluminium intoxication. We have evaluated the time course of urinary aluminium excretion and its correlation with several parameters of renal function and mineral metabolism in 49 patients (33 men and 16 women) with a wide range of pre-transplant serum aluminium concentrations, performing sequential determin...

Abstract The study involves coating the high-speed steel (HSS) tool with cubic Boron via electroless nickel co-deposition. surface of Ni-CBN was deposited where process involved chemical reactions as ceramic CBN powders embedded within layer. By introducing process, cost and procedure could be simplified. deposition has been extensively practised in industry, most prevalent offers excellent cor...

Abstract The high-strength aluminium alloys EN AW-6082 and -7075 are characterized by low density high strength but also limited cold formability pronounced springback behaviour in the ultra-high-strength T6 state. In order to exploit their lightweight design potential, temperature-supported process routes such as warm or hot forming applied. Alternatively, there is possibility of preconditione...

Horse spleen ferritin was found to bind aluminium poorly after equilibrium dialysis with buffered aluminium citrate solutions. Not more than 10 aluminium atoms/ferritin molecule were bound from a 25 microM-aluminium solution, pH 7.4, and the degree of binding was dependent on the method used to prepare the aluminium citrate solution. Up to 120 aluminium atoms/molecule were bound when ferritin i...

Aluminium balance studies were carried out on eight patients with various immunological disorders who were receiving plasma exchange with albumin solutions known to be contaminated with aluminium. Four patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance less than 50 ml/min) retained between 60% and 74% of the aluminium infused during a single plasma exchange. Transiliac bone biopsy spec...

A liquid metallurgical stir casting route was utilized for developing aluminium alloy (7075) matrix composites blended with fluctuating wt% of silicon nitride (Si3N4), tantalum carbide (TaC), and titanium (Ti) sake generating a profitable composite enhanced properties. The physical, microstructural, mechanical characteristics such as density, high temperature tensile, fatigue, time-dependent cr...

It is of burgeoning importance that the human body burden of aluminium is understood and is measured. There are surprisingly few data to describe human excretion of systemic aluminium and almost no reliable data which relate to aluminium in sweat. We have measured the aluminium content of sweat in 20 healthy volunteers following mild exercise. The concentration of aluminium ranged from 329 to 5...
