A validation study in order to evaluate the efficiency of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) in the analysis of minor elements (Manganese, Chromium, Copper, Iron and Titanium) in aluminium alloys was carried out. Aluminium casting samples were obtained from addition to aluminium baths of compressed powder compacts of each alloying element and aluminium (minit...

Additive Manufacturing offers geometric freedom excellently suited for topology optimized light weight designs. Ideally these should be produced from materials of high strength to weight ratio such as aluminium-copper alloys. Yet these are considered unsuitable for welding. With Laser Beam Melting of Metals in powder bed (LBM), the only class of aluminium alloys widely processed is that of alum...

A retrospective analysis of 584 cases of acute poisoning admitted with a medical emergency to the Department of Medicine, GTB Hospital, Delhi, over a three-year period. The patients were analysed with respect to the age, sex, mode of poisoning, type of poison consumed and mortality. Of these, 42.63% were aged 20-30 years. Poisoning was used as a suicidal agent by 63.8% of the patients. The natu...

To verify whether aluminium phytotoxicity causes oxidative stress in developing greengram seedlings, the present investigation was carried out. An uniform decrease in root and shoot elongations was marked as the primary signs of aluminium injury. A significant increase in lipid peroxidation measured in terms of TBARS content was noticed which was also correlated with an increase in membrane inj...

Catalyst supports with novel chemical and physical properties are needed for producing new families of catalytic materials. The goals of this work were to demonstrate the preparation of aluminium nitride type materials and evaluate their properties as catalyst supports. To obtain aluminium nitride in high-surface-area form suitable for catalyst applications, porous silica and alumina supports w...

ABSTRACT At present, chemical processes are widely used to remove phosphorus and organic matter from water or wastewater either as the only advanced treatment method or as a pre-treatment stage to biological treatment, and aluminium salts have been traditionally used as coagulants. In the present study removal of orthophosphate or dissolved organic matter with the use of two aluminium sources: ...

Aluminium is presents in many manufactured foods, medicines and is also added to drinking water for purification purposes.The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outer-most to the cerebrum. This study was conducted in order to evaluate the possible effects that aluminium chloride exposure could have on the histology of cerebral cortex of wistar rats’ offspring.The wistar rats we...

Zeolite catalysis is determined by a combination of pore architecture and Brønsted acidity. As Brønsted acid sites are formed by the substitution of AlO4 for SiO4 tetrahedra, it is of utmost importance to have information on the number as well as the location and neighbouring sites of framework aluminium. Unfortunately, such detailed information has not yet been obtained, mainly due to the lack...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the cytotoxicity of gingival margin retraction astringents based on aluminium chloride, aluminium sulphate, and ferric sulphate (solutions and gels) in human fibroblasts isolated from gingiva. The cytocompatibility of ten astringent-based chemical retraction agents: Gingiva Liquid, Alustin, Racestypine, Orbat sensitive, Astringedent®, Alusta...

This paper present a mechanical characteristics on fatigue crack propagation in Aluminium Plate based on strain and stress distribution using the abaqus software. The changes in shear strain and stress distribution during the fatigue cycle with crack growth is identified. In progressive crack in the strain distribution and the stress is increase in the critical zone. Numerical Modal analysis of...
