Losses of phosphorus (P) from soil and slurry during episodic rainfall events can contribute to eutrophication of surface water. However, chemical amendments have the potential to decrease P and suspended solids (SS) losses from land application of slurry. Current legislation attempts to avoid losses to a water body by prohibiting slurry spreading when heavy rainfall is forecast within 48 h. Th...

High Speed Steel (HSS) specimen surfaces were coated with AlCrN and AlTiN via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method. Then, the wear performances of film coatings so produced investigated by using different abrasive types particle sizes. During micro-abrasion tests, 0.5, 1 1.5 N loads applied for periods 60 180 seconds. loss increased increasing SiC Al2O3 size. Micro-grooving micro-rolling obse...

Introduction The Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process plays a key role in the manufacture of data storage, video display panels, and semiconductor chips. The process combines the chemical (acidic or basic) effect of the slurry, which contains micro-abrasives with the mechanical effect provided by polishing to reduce the topography on the wafer or rigid disk substrate. The process for...

Our aim of is to develop a processing method for a rotating disc made of functionally graded materials (FGM), by stacking the slurry, layer by layer in a radial direction. A three-layer functionally graded material of Al/Al2O3 is fabricated with compositions of 10, 20, 30 vol.% Al2O3. The ceramic composition increases from the discs inner (centre) to the outer. The combination of these material...

In magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF), abrasive grains as a tool move on surface and can remove chip from surface of work piece. In this study AL 6061 tube was considered as the work piece and the effect of finishing parameters such as gap distance between tube and poles, rotational speed of tube, abrasive ration and finishing time on surface roughness was investigated. The mixture of ferromagne...

Particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) are the materials that are extremely difficult to machine using conventional manufacturing method due to high tool wear caused by presence of the hard ceramic reinforcement. This paper presents details of an investigation into the machinability of TriAlumane zirconium (Al3Zr), Zirconia (ZrO2) and Silicon carbide (SiC)particulate reinforcedalu...

Abstract Abrasive wear mechanisms—including two-body and three-body abrasion—dominate the performance lifespan of tribological systems in many engineering fields, even those operating lubricated conditions. Bearing steel (100Cr6) pins discs a flat-on-flat contact were utilized experiments together with 5 13 µm Al 2 O 3 -based slurries as interfacial media to shed light on acting mechanisms. The...

Applied pressure in chemical mechanical polishing CMP is shared by the two-body pad–wafer and the three-body pad–abrasive– wafer contacts. The fraction of applied pressure transferred through the particle contacts is a significant factor as most of the material removal is due to abrasive particles trapped in the pad–wafer interface. In this work, the contact of a rough, deformable pad and a smo...

In this article, the effect of parameters like working gap, work piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism(injection of the SiC Abrasive slurry and Al2O3, use of diamond paste as abrasive tool) in Magnetic Abrasive Finishing process using designing of experiments on the external surface of Cylindrical work pieces of Stainless steel AISI 440C to get minimum surf...
