In this paper, a method called 2-stage extrusion is proposed to reconstruct a solid by modifying the incremental extrusion [Shum SSP.

In this contribution the influence of an extrusion process on the viscosity function of rubber blends is identified. This knowledge is required for performance of realistic numerical simulations of injection heads and extrusion tools for rubber profile production. The experimental basis of this investigation are tests with both, capillary and extrusion rheometer. The latter is a combination of ...

Extrusion is a continuous process and successful economic production depends on maintaining stable output and melt quality at an accurately controlled rate. Current screw design technology, the use of DC drives, computerized controllers and raw material testing help to deliver the melt to the extrusion die at relatively constant temperature, pressure and viscosity. However, even the slightest v...

Abstract—This study optimized the performance of plastic extrusion process of drip irrigation pipes using fuzzy goal programming. Two main responses were of main interest; roll thickness and hardness. Four main process factors were studied. The L18 array was then used for experimental design. The individualmoving range control charts were used to assess the stability of the process, while the p...

We report on a discovery of fast cathode materials, ternary Chevrel phases (CPs), CuyMo6S8, for rechargeable magnesium batteries; the related electrochemical process displays a unique coupling between reversible Mg insertion, and Cu extrusion/ reinsertion; this coupling results in an entirely new intercalation mechanism which combines the total chemical reversibility of the electrochemical reac...

Extrusion is one of the widest used and the most basic processes of plastic forming, and the metal flow in extrusion is affected by many factors, such as friction, die shape, billet temperature and so on. Among these factors, friction is the key boundary condition to determine the property of the extruded products. In this paper research and measurements of velocity fields and impact of frictio...

An extrusion-based additive manufacturing process, called the Ceramic On-Demand Extrusion (CODE) process, for producing three-dimensional ceramic components with near theoretical density is introduced in this paper. In this process, an aqueous paste of ceramic particles with a very low binder content (<1 vol%) is extruded through a moving nozzle at room temperature. After a layer is deposited, ...

The application of magnesium alloys is greatly limited because of their relatively low strength and ductility. An effective way to improve the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy is to refine the grains. As the race for better materials performance is never ending, attempts to develop viable techniques for microstructure refinement continue. Further refining of grain size requires, however...

When cells in epithelial sheets are damaged by intrinsic or extrinsic causes, they are eliminated by extrusion from the sheet. Cell extrusion, which is required for maintenance of tissue integrity, is the consequence of contraction of actomyosin rings, as demonstrated by both molecular/cellular biological experimentation and numerical simulation. However, quantitative evaluation of actomyosin c...
