The fatigue strength, effects of a notch on the fatigue strength, and fatigue crack growth rate of Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy were compared with those of other implantable metals. Zr, Nb, and Ta are important alloying elements for Ti alloys for attaining superior long-term corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The highly biocompatible Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy exhibited an excellent balance between...

In this study, SiC nanoparticles were added into matrix alloy through a combination of semisolid stirring and ultrasonic vibration while dynamic precipitation of second phases was obtained through multi-pass forging with varying temperatures. During single-pass forging of the present composite, as the deformation temperature increased, the extent of recrystallization increased, and grains were ...

Salah satu suku cadang yang penting dalam kendaraan jenis tank adalah perangkat roda disebut bogie wheel. Boggie wheel merupakan bagian dari sistem terdiri track, arm, bracket dsb. Bogie terbuat material aluminium ditempa (forging). Saai ini proses pembuatan whell menggunakan baja dengan permesinan. Akibat pergantian tersebut maka bertambah bobotnya sebesar 4 ton. Hal berpengaruh pada manuver s...

Radial and longitudinal temperature gradients within cold-seal pressure vessels can contribute significantly to the total temperature unccrtainty in any one experiment and it is important to calibrate such gradients before experiments are undertaken. We have measured temperature gradients in vertically mounted large cold-seal vessels at 1 atm and 1 kbar and in the temperature range 500-800~ Rad...

Article history: Received: 08.11.2013. Received in revised form: 12.01.2013. Accepted: 14.01.2014. The grinding roller shaft is a key part of the grinding roller. It has a step-shaped shaft with different round cross-sections and 1850 mm × 1110 mm rectangular cross-section. If the general method of free forging is used, the upsetting diameter of ingot will reach 2900 mm, and 8400 t hydraulic pr...

The paper presents an investigation on the effect of process variables and material condition on forgeability of magnesium wrought alloys of Mg-Al-Zn group, AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91. The experimental work includes studies of forging capabilities of the alloys in closed-die forging at hot and warm-working temperatures. Forging tests are performed for material both in as-cast and asworked condition, f...

This study aims to explore the effects of heat and cold stress on the radial pressure pulse (RPP) and heart rate variability (HRV). The subjects immersed their left hand into 45°C and 7°C water for 2 minutes. Sixty healthy subjects (age 25 ± 4 yr; 29 men and 31 women) were enrolled in this study. All subjects underwent the supine temperature measurements of the bilateral forearms, brachial arte...
