Magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. Magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. However, the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the healing process. One of the ways to improve the corrosion rate is to compose it with ceramic...

Mechanical alloying of Ti-Si and NiTi was performed by high-energy ball milling at ambient temperature. The structural and compositional evolutions during mechanical alloying were investigated. Results showed that the crystallite size of mechanically alloyed Ti-Si and Ni-Ti powders decreased with increasing milling time and the steady-state crystallite size was approximately 10 nm. The mechanic...

ÐAn unstable, f.c.c. Fe50Cu50 solid solution was prepared using high-energy ball milling of an elemental powder mixture. It was used as a parent alloy for isothermal annealing or low-energy ball milling (LEBM), both at 373±523 K. Alloy evolution was analyzed by X-ray di€raction, MoÈ ssbauer spectroscopy and di€erential scanning calorimetry. LEBM signi®cantly enhanced the initial decomposition r...

In this research work, Al 1wt% silver coated multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite have been processed using powder metallurgy technique. In order to distribute CNT uniformly in the aluminum matrix high energy ball milling is required. . It was found that excessive milling can lead to carbide and alumina formation. So to reduce the milling time, the surface of CNT is modified by coating ...

A visual cutting chip control system is designed to automatically adjust feed rate in order to maintain constant surface roughness in ball-end milling. The proposed visual control system has a modular structure, consisting of an optical vision system (OVS), an adaptive cutting chip size-control loop for a feed servo and a surface roughness in-process prediction model. The OVS is employed to acq...

Carbides, borides and nitrides of high melting transition metals were synthesized by high energy ball milling of elemental powder mixtures. The obtained hard material phases show a nanocrystalline structure with a saturation value of the crystal sizes between 7-8 nm. The kinetics of the reaction were investigated, and the nanocrystalline powders were densified by HIP. Introduction The formation...

In the present paper, roughness, force and vibration signals from ball-end milling processes are analysed. From the roughness signal actual feed value was obtained as expected. From the force and vibration signals both the frequencies of harmonics corresponding to rotation speed of the tool and impacts of teeth were detected.

Obtaining finely ground, homogeneous plant and soil samples for chemical analysis without cross contamination is a major concern when using direct combustion procedures for determination of total nitrogen (N), total carbon (C), and isotope-ratio analysis. A rollermilling device, using square glass bottles instead of round grinding bottles, was evaluated. Rotation of the square bottles on the ro...
