Deposition of Boron Containing Coatings Using MO-PACVD Process to Protect Aluminium Casting Tools

Optimization of Aluminium Die Casting Process Using Artificial Neural Network

In the present paper, optimization of process parameters of an aluminium die casting operation is discussed. The quality problem encountered during the manufacturing of a die casted component was porosity and the potential factors causing it are identified through causeeffect analysis. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) is conducted to find the factors with significant effects on porosity. The pre...

Boron-containing Tool Coatings for Hot Forming

Analytical investigations of the test tools reveal in the most heavily stressed parts of the bolt signifi cantly different wear patterns for the tested variants also in microsections (Fig. 2). Data for a wear analysis evaluation regarding adhesion (positive values) and abrasion (negative values) have been obtained by using a 3-D coordinate measuring machine to compare the contour after stress t...

Deposition of Boron-Containing Films From Decaborane

Titanium Oxide (TiO2) Coatings on NiTi Shape Memory Substrate Using Electrophoretic Deposition Process

The aim of the present research is to convert bioinert surface of NiTi to bioactive and biocompatible surface. In order to develop a bioactive and corrosion resistant film on NiTi, electrophoretic deposition process was done and TiO2 particles were deposited on the NiTi surface. Suspensions including TiO2 particles were prepared using a mixture of acetone and n-butanol (0%, 30%, 60%, 80% and 10...

Aluminium-containing antiperspirants contribute to aluminium intake

Antiperspirants denote cosmetic products with an anti-perspiration effect which are available as roll-ons, sticks, creams or aerosols (sprays). The anti-perspiration effect is achieved by means of aluminium salts which block the ends of the sweat ducts for a certain amount of time. The safety of aluminium and antiperspirants continues to be critically examined. This is notably true with regard ...
