Ecological pressures on chromium have now forced the leather industry to look for possible alternatives. A vegetablealuminum combination tannage has been studied, with special attention being given to intended final product. Aluminum is mineral tanning agents that are widely used to stabilize collagens in the leather industry. In this study, the crosslinking of vegetable and aluminum, with coll...

Development of an accurate neuronal material model for aluminum alloys would facilitate better process control and parameter optimization in the aircraft industry. This research primarily attempts to design a connectionist constitutive model for aluminum 7075 alloy using multi-layer perceptrons. The backpropagation algorithm is used to train the designed network whose performance is then valida...

Cast aluminum alloys are widely applied for the transportation industry. Alloys with silicon and magnesium as the main alloying elements are the most important of the aluminum casting alloys because of their high fluidity. However, Al-Si-Mg alloys have exhibited medium strength level at room and, especially, at elevated temperature. Recently, new casting alloys with high magnesium and silicon h...

OBJECTIVES Summarizing the knowledge status, including the morphology, possible etiological factors, and clinical expression of aluminum potroom asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease related to aluminum potroom exposure. METHODS A review of the literature from the last two decades as it appears in PubMed. RESULTS There is substantial evidence for the existence of potroom asthma, ...

Supply chains have been proposed as complex adaptive systems. This paper looks at the global aluminum supply chain network in those terms. Developments in this industry have included formation of a cartel by bauxite producing countries, emergence of Australia as a leading producer, the collapse of communism in Europe, and the rise of Chinese production in all phases of primary aluminum producti...
