Environmental Impact Minimization via Production Planning for Aluminum Billet Molding Process

Environmental Impact in Process Tomato Integrated Production

In modern agriculture, the energy that is consumed in every stage of production can be divided in direct (e.g. fuels and lubricants) and indirect (e.g. machinery embodied energy, materials and agrochemicals etc). This energy consumption can be examined further in environmental level as environmental impact. Environmental impact regards to the CO2 that is emitted during the production process an...

Prediction of coefficient of friction for Aluminum Billet

In the metal forming process, a realistic frictional coefficient must be specified at the die/work piece interface. Several methods are developed to evaluate friction coefficient in large deformation processes. This paper presents the concept of friction calibration map to determine different frictional conditions between interfaces of die and billet in the upsetting process. One such map is ge...

LCI Databases Sensitivity Analysis of the Environmental Impact of the Injection Molding Process

During the last decades, society’s concern for the environment has increased. Specific tools like the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and software and databases to apply this method have been developed to calculate the environmental burden of products or processes. Calculating the environmental impact of plastic products is relevant as the global plastics production rose to 288 million tons in 201...

On the Study of Mechanical Properties of Aluminum/Nano-Alumina Composites Produced via Powder Injection Molding

Powder Injection Molding (PIM) is a precision manufacturing process used for production of advanced composites. Mixing of polymeric binder with metal powders, molding of feedstock, de-binding of brown parts and sintering of green samples are four main steps of this process. In the present study, the compounds containing multi-component binder system and aluminum/ nano-alumina (0-9 wt.%) powders...
