A new tool path planning method for 5-axis flank milling of a globoidal indexing cam is developed in this paper. The globoidal indexing cam is a practical transmission mechanism due to its high transmission speed, accuracy and dynamic performance. Machining the cam profile is a complex and precise task. The profile surface of the globoidal cam is generated by the conjugate contact motion of the...

10 Nanocrystalline Mg87Ni3Al3Mm7 hydrides were produced by reactive mechanical milling (RMM) under hydrogen atmosphere. Milling first under argon, and then under hydrogen atmosphere was also carried out in order to study the effect of the gas atmosphere on the microstructure of the products of milling as well as on their hydriding properties. In both cases, the main product of the milling proce...

The dynamic stability of the milling process is investigated through a single degree of freedom mechanical model. Two alternative analytical methods are introduced, both based on finite dimensional discrete map representations of the governing time periodic delay-differential equation. Stability charts and chatter frequencies are determined for partial immersion upand down-milling, and for full...

BACKGROUND Enzymatic corn wet milling (E-milling) is a process derived from conventional wet milling for the recovery and purification of starch and co-products using proteases to eliminate the need for sulfites and decrease the steeping time. In 2006, the total starch production in USA by conventional wet milling equaled 23 billion kilograms, including modified starches and starches used for s...

13 Milling is a critical process for controlling the properties of the granules produced by roll 14 compaction. In the current study, the positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) technique was 15 used to examine the milling kinematics of roll compacted ribbons at various milling speeds. 16 Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC, Avicel PH-102) was used as the model feed material and a 17 radioactive...

Milling cutters are important cutting tools used in milling machines to perform milling operations, which are prone to wear and subsequent failure. In this paper, a practical new hybrid model to predict the milling tool wear in a regular cut, as well as entry cut and exit cut, of a milling tool is proposed. The model was based on the optimization tool termed artificial bee colony (ABC) in combi...

The effect of milling time on the morphology, microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of pure Al-5 wt % Al₂O₃ (Al-5Al₂O₃) has been investigated. Al-5Al₂O₃ nanocomposites were fabricated using ball milling in a powder metallurgy route. The increase in the milling time resulted in the homogenous dispersion of 5 wt % Al₂O₃ nanoparticles, the reduction of particle clustering, and the red...
