A tribo-testing method for high performance cold forging lubricants

Application of the Finite Element Method In Cold Forging Processes

The demand for more efficient manufacturing processes has been increasing in the last few years. The cold forging process is presented as a possible solution, because it allows the production of parts with a good surface finish and with good mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the cold forming sequence design is very empirical and it is based on the designer experience. The computational model...

High Performance 4-Cycle Lubricants from Canola

IDENTIFICATION OF A MARKET Developing a new market for an established international crop like canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassicaceae) requires significant care and study. Canola has been identified by several authors as a highly desirable food oil. Canola oils are relatively rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and with small percentages of both saturated and polyunsaturated f...

Prediction of Residual Stresses for a Hollow Product in Cold Radial Forging Process

Radial forging is an open die forging process used for reducing the diameters of shafts, tubes, stepped shafts and axles and also for creating internal profiles such as rifling the gun barrels. The radial forging of tube is usually performed over a mandrel to create an internal profile and/or size the internal diameter. Most of the previous studies conducted on the radial forging process have u...

High Performance Method for Skin Roughness Detection Using Raman Spectroscopy

A Novel High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Method for Detection of Alginate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Background and Objective: The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa secrets a capsule-like polysaccharide called alginate which is important for evasion of host defenses, especially in patients with suppressed immunity. Method of alginate determination has an important role in the study of microb...
