Machinability of Sintered Carbon (3rd report)

Metal functionalization of carbon nanotubes for enhanced sintered powder wicks

Phase change cooling schemes involving passive heat spreading devices, such as heat pipes and vapor chambers, are widely adopted for thermal management of high heat-flux technologies. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are fabricated on a 200 lm thick sintered copper powder wick layer using microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. A physical vapor deposition process is...

REU Report : Development of a Global Information Exchange Database System for the Machinability Evaluation of Dental

Aesthetic character, high strength, chemical durability, and bio-compatibility make dental ceramics ideal ingredients for fabricating dental restoratives. However, the inherent brittleness of ceramics poses a challenge to the machining of ceramic restoratives. With the introduction of Dental CAD/CAM system, machinability evaluation is necessary to successfully fabricate dental ceramics for comm...

Machinability of Experimental Ti-Cu Alloys

This study is an investigation of the machinability of experimental Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10mass% Cu) as new dental titanium alloy candidates for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Their machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of th...
