In this work, the strontium-doped lanthanum manganite- a ceramic material- used as cathode in solid oxide fuel cells. An impression of grinding time on the structural and thermal properties of Sr-doped LaMnO3 system with La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.2) stoichiometric ratio was investigated. The nano crystallite LSM powder with cubic structure was prepared by varying the milling time of planetary monomill ...

This article discusses the recent developments in grinding of advanced materials. Eighty-four journal papers published recently are briefly introduced. The topics are advances in grinding of brittle materials, grinding of silicon, dressing/truing of grinding wheels, grinding fluids, grinding of mirrors and vibration-assisted grinding, measuring/ monitoring of grinding, optimization of grinding,...

The influence of feed size and pulp density on the specific rate of breakage of quartz was investigated. Plots of log fraction of feed remaining within the feed size interval against grinding time allowed the application of the first order grinding model to be examined. Substantial non-linearities were observed for all feed sizes due to environmental and material factors. For feed sizes above 1...

A highly efficient, chemoselective synthesis of a library of polysubstituted pyrroles and tetrahydropyridines has been achieved through the one-pot, multicomponent reactions of ethyl (E)-3-(aryl/alkyl amino) acrylates, 2,2-dihydroxy-1-arylethan-1-ones, and malononitrile under solvent- and catalyst-free grinding conditions. The selective formation of pyrrole or tetrahydropyridines relied on subs...

In this current era of competitive machinery productions, the industries are designed to place more emphasis on the product quality and reduction of cost whilst abiding by the pollution-preventing policy. In attempting to delve into the concerns, the industries are aware that the effectiveness of existing lubrication systems must be improved to achieve power-efficient and pollutionpreventing ma...

in this paper, iron ore sample from the chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in iran, which is located in yazd province. the representative ore sample contained 57%fe, 0.9%p and 0.17%s. the sample was crushed; afterward, it was ground in various grinding times according to the bond ball mill approach to spec...

This paper describes the methods using bonded cup wheels for grinding toroidal and cylindrical SiC mirrors with large curvature radii. Since the angle between the cutting direction of bonded abrasives and feed direction of the cup wheel is about 90 °, it is possible to obtain a surface with very low surface roughness independent of the direction of measurement. Toroidal mirrors, circular and el...

High-voltage electrical pulses (HVEP) technology was applied in grinding of a magnetite ore as a comminution pretreatment. The effect of HVEP pretreatment on grindability, liberation and separation performance of a magnetite ore was investigated by a systematic experimental study. The results showed that the pretreatment of high-voltage electrical pulses created some intergranular microcracks i...

This paper investigates the grinding performance of epoxy matrix composites reinforced by unidirectional carbon fibres, using an alumina grinding wheel. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effect of fibre orientations and grinding depths on the grinding force and surface integrity, and on understanding the grinding mechanisms, with a comparison to orthogonal cutting. It was found that grea...

Off-round grinding performed on CNC cylindrical grinding is a relatively new process. This paper takes a systems approach and discusses the various inputs and outputs and highlights the potential problems that production engineers face in implementing this new process. The effect of the inputs to the off-round grinding process such as the grinding machine, wheel, grinding fluid and the workpiec...
