The new Profile Ring Mill (PRM) technology was developed to manufacture the initial preforms required for producing components of bearing assemblies. This continuous hot, single-step forming process was desired to replace the previous machining alternatives because of the increased throughput rate. The PRM technology was first incorporated into production in early 1998 at the new Tryon Peak fac...

There are several parameters that have significant influence in metal forming process. One of the most important of them is friction coefficient. Friction can change the pattern of metal flow and the force needed for deformation. It is necessary to determine the friction coefficient to study the effect of friction on metal forming process. This study is concerned with numerical and experimental...

Survey of categorization of glass forming mechanisms in liquids based on the known principles reported in the literature is given. The metallic glass-forming liquids can be divided into two types – strong (with high glass forming ability) and fragile (with low glass forming ability). While the bulk amorphous alloys formed from strong liquids do not exhibit sensitivity to low temperature relaxat...

superplastic materials show huge amount of deformation in low strain rates and temperature above half of melting point. in superplastic forming, estimating the pressure–time diagram and thickness distribution has significant importance. utilizing numerical methods, the involved parameters in superplastic forming can be optimized for such estimations. in the present paper, the simulation of supe...

We demonstrate that the temperature-dependent phase behaviors of parallel and perpendicular cylinder-forming block copolymers are governed by domain-domain segregation forces inherently present in block copolymer material itself. With increasing temperature, a parallel cylinder-forming block copolymer experienced a parallel cylinder straightening process before the order-disorder transition (OD...

Abstract A non-isothermal vacuum assisted hot-forming process using tailored laminate temperature is introduced. By simulation and manufacturing experiments, improved quality achieved compared to the standard process. Furthermore, it also shown that time in clean room can be reduced one tenth of time. In this study 8.4 mm thick quasi-isotropic laminates from unidirectional prepreg were laid up ...

We use a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to examine the dependence of the properties of cyclotron resonant scattering lines on the spatial geometry and the optical depth of the line-forming region. We focus most of our attention on a line-forming region that is a plane-parallel slab. We also consider a cylindrical line-forming region. In both cases, the line-forming region contains an elect...
