Our research in on-line monitoring of industrial milling tools has focused on the occurrence of certain wide-band transient events. Time-frequency representations of these events appear to reveal a variety of classes of transients, and a time-structure to these classes which would be well modeled using hidden Markov models. However, the identities of these classes are not known, and obtaining a...

Carbides, borides and nitrides of high melting transition metals were synthesized by high energy ball milling of elemental powder mixtures. The obtained hard material phases show a nanocrystalline structure with a saturation value of the crystal sizes between 7-8 nm. The kinetics of the reaction were investigated, and the nanocrystalline powders were densified by HIP. Introduction The formation...

The adaptive constant control for the cutting process is an effective way to improve the productivity of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machine. This control is achieved through adjusting the feed rate online, and many scholars has been concentrated in the field. However, in of the existing adaptive constant control algorithms, the controller parameters are tuned only depends on t...

The microstructural evolution, thermodynamics, and kinetics of Mo (21 wt %) Tm₂O₃ powder mixtures during ball milling were investigated using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Ball milling induced Tm₂O₃ to be decomposed and then dissolved into Mo crystal. After 96 h of ball milling, Tm₂O₃ was dissolved completely and the supersaturated nanocrystalline solid solution of Mo ...

It is observed that large quantities of hydrogen (H2) are released at ambient temperatures during the mechano-chemical synthesis of the Li-Al-N-Mg-based hydride composites using an energetic ball milling in a unique magneto-mill. For the (nLiAlH4+LiNH2; n=1, 3, 11.5, 30) composite, at the molar ratio n=1, the LiNH2 constituent destabilizes LiAlH4 and enhances its decomposition to Li3AlH6, Al an...

nanoparticles of manganese-dioxide synthesized by mechano-chemical reaction were used foras(iii) and as(v) sorption from water environment. the influence of a milling time of manganese-dioxide on sorption was examined with batch procedure. sorption as a function of contact time was investigated. kinetic of sorption, for both as(iii) and as(v), was fast. the equilibrium condition for milled sorb...

Flaky FeSiAl alloy/multi-wall carbon nanotube (FeSiAl/MWCNT) composite was fabricated by facile and scalable ball milling method. The morphology and electromagnetic properties of the FeSiAl alloy can be well tuned by controlling the milling time. It is found that the magnetic loss of the FeSiAl alloy is improved by optimizing the milling time due to the increased anisotropy field. Meanwhile the...

To achieve high precision and high productivity in machining sculptured surfaces, a new architecture for a five-axis CNC interpolator for machining ruled surfaces was developed and demonstrated on a milling machine. The objective of the five-axis interpolator is to continuously maintain the milling cutter axis in parallel with the straight lines of the ruled surface. The cutter position and ori...

The effects of plastic deformation by ball milling on the structure of a partly amorphousAl87Ni8La5alloy were investigated by X-ray diffractometry. Lattice parameter, crystallite size and lattice strain of the fcc-Al precipitates were determined by Rietveld refinement, doubleVoigt approach and Williamson-Hall plots. The changes in lattice parameter of fcc-Al nanoprecipitates during ball milling...

L aboratory milling systems are used throughout the rice industry to 1) estimate the milling yield that may be expected of rice lots when milled in large-scale milling systems and 2) produce milled rice samples from which visual, functional, sensory and nutritional assessments of the rice lot can be made. This chapter presents factors that can affect the laboratory measurement of rice milling ...
