چکیده

A novel cobalt-chromium (CoCr) based alloy, optimised for speciality needle applications, has been benchmarked against Type 304 stainless steel in a series of mechanical test and experimental needle trials. The results reported indicate that the CoCr alloy has the potential to overcome current limitations in endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery.

Experimental Hysteresis Identification and Micro-position Control of a Shape-Memory-Alloy Rod Actuator

In order to exhaustively exploit the high-level capabilities of shape memory alloys (SMAs), they must be applied in control systems applications. However, because of their hysteretic inherent, dilatory response, and nonlinear behavior, scientists are thwarted in their attempt to design controllers for actuators of such kind.  The current study aims at developing a micro-position control system ...

Mechanical Properties and Spring -Back Investigation in Creep Age Forming Process of 7075 Al Alloy

Creep age forming (CAF) process is a novel metal forming method with major benefits including improved mechanical properties and cost reduction for aviation industry applications. CAF happens due to creep phenomenon and stress-release during the artificial aging of heat-treatable  aluminum alloys. In this work, the creep age forming of 7075 Aluminum alloy at 120, 150 and 180 °C for 6, 24 and 48...

Performance Comparison of Al–Ti Master Alloys with Different Microstructures in Grain Refinement of Commercial Purity Aluminum

Three types of Al-5Ti master alloys were synthesized by a method of thermal explosion reaction in pure molten aluminum. Performance comparison of Al-5Ti master alloy in grain refinement of commercial purity Al with different additions (0.6%, 1.0%, 1.6%, 2.0%, and 3.0%) and holding time (10, 30, 60 and 120 min) were investigated. The results show that Al-5Ti master alloy with blocky TiAl₃ partic...
