Magnetic bearings are used in several applications, but they didn’t succeed in the machine tool industry, due basically to their low damping, with its associated low chatter free cutting capacity. This work shows the development of a high speed milling spindle supported on magnetic bearings with high chatter resistance. That is achieved by using control strategies which add damping to the beari...

mechanical alloying of binary and ternary elemental powder mixtures with the nominal compositions of mg2ni and mg(2-x)mnxni (x= 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 at. %) were carried out in a planetary ball mill for various milling times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 h. x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the milled products...

although cu and fe are immiscible under equilibrium conditions, they can form supersaturated solid solutions by mechanical alloying. in this paper, nano-structured of the metastable cu-fe phase containing 10, 15, 20 and 25% wt fe were synthesized by intensive ball milling for 15h, in order to achieve a solid solution of fe in cu. the phase composition, dissolution of the fe atoms into the cu ma...

Inconel 718 is a typical hard-to-machine material that requires thermally enhanced machining technology such as laser-assisted milling. Based upon finite element analysis, this study simulates the forces in the laser-assisted milling process of Inconel 718 considering the effects of grain growth due to c0 and c00 phases. The c0 0 phase is unstable and becomes the d phase, which is likely to pre...

Most red lentil produced worldwide is consumed in dehulled form, and post-harvest milling and splitting qualities are major concerns in the secondary processing industry. Lentil producers in northern temperate regions usually apply pre-harvest desiccants as harvest aids to accelerate the lentil crop drying process and facilitate harvesting operations. This paper reports on field studies conduct...

This paper contains data and supporting information of and complementary to the research article entitled "Effect of jar shape on high-energy planetary ball milling efficiency: simulations and experiments" (Broseghini et al.,) [1]. Calcium fluoride (CaF2) was ground using two jars of different shape (cylindrical and half-moon) installed on a planetary ball-mill, exploring different operating co...

An autonomous machine tool has been developed to solve fundamental issues with the current command method using NC programs, and some key technologies for its realization have been devised. In the process planning system, various process plans are prepared, and the appropriate process plan can be selected to achieve flexible machining operations. Digital Copy Milling, digitizing the principle o...

We evaluated the effects of conventional hand rasping and robotic milling on the clinical and radiographic results of cementless total hip arthroplasty, with the same computed tomography (CT)-based 3-dimensional preoperative planning using a ROBODOC workstation (Integrated Surgical Systems, Davis, Calif). The robotic milling group consisted of 78 hips, and the hand-rasping group 78 hips. The ra...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the maximal amount of concentrate and forage that could be replaced with a new wet corn milling product. The corn milling product contained 23.1% crude protein, 9.9% ruminally undegradable protein, 13.7% acid detergent fiber, 40.3% neutral detergent fiber, and 2.6% ether extract (% of dry matter; DM). In experiment 1, 16 Holstein cows were assigned ...

Mechanical cleavage by Scotch tape was the first method to produce graphene and is still widely used in laboratories. However, a critical problem of this method is the extremely low yield. We have tailored ball milling conditions to produce gentle shear forces that produce high quality boron nitride (BN) nanosheets in high yield and efficiency. The in-plane structure of the BN nanosheets has no...
