This study evaluated microstructural and crystallographic phase changes after grinding (G) and regeneration firing/anneling (R) of Y-TZP ceramics. Thirty five bars (LavaTM and Ice Zirkon) were divided: Y-TZP pre-sintered, control (C), regeneration firing (R), dry grinding (DG), dry grinding+regeneration firing (DGR), wet grinding (WG) and wet grinding+regeneration firing (WGR). Grinding was con...

OBJECTIVE To quantify the temperature changes in the dental pulp associated with equine dental procedures using power grinding equipment. DESIGN A matrix experimental design with replication on the same sample was followed to allow the following independent variables to be assessed: horse age (young or old), tooth type (premolar or molar), powered grinding instrument (rotating disc or die gri...

Abstract. A Fuzzy-PID controller is designed for tracing reference cutting forces in grinding by integrating a high performance fuzzy controller and an easy to use PID controller. When the error of the grinding force is large, in order to respond quickly, the fuzzy controller with a self-tuning factor is adopted and the Max-Proc strategy is also used. This will be good for fuzzy reasoning. If t...

Automation of grinding of metalcastings is desirable for many reasons. The major reasons are dangerous working conditions, low productivity, and inconsistency in human operations. As an approach to the automating grinding process, a gantrydriven grinding machine is proposed to manipulate an industrial hand grinder and control the grinding force applied to the work piece. To increase the materia...

This report provides results recorded from the application of a coalescing plate separator to grinding and lathe coolant filtration. Use of the filter and normal recommended practices in monitoring coolants significantly extended coolant life, increased the tool life of carbide inserts and grinding wheels an average of 25'10, and resulted in cleaner machines and coolant sumps. The use of deioni...

Modeling for the ball mill grinding process is still an imperative but difficult problem for the optimal control of mineral processing industry. Due to the integrated complexities of grinding process (strong nonlinearity, unknown mechanisms, multivariable, time varying parameters, etc.), a hybrid intelligent dynamic model is presented in this paper, which includes a phenomenological ball mill g...

This paper presents results obtained from the grinding of aluminium-based metal matrix composites reinforced with either aluminium oxide (Al2O3) or silicon carbide (SiC) particles using grinding wheels made of SiC in a vitrified matrix or diamond in a resin-bonded matrix. The study used grinding speeds of 1100–2200 m min , a grinding depth of 15 m for rough grinding and 0.1–1 m for fine grindin...

Ground beef has been implicated as a transmission vehicle in foodborne outbreaks of infection with pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. During outbreak investigations, traceback of contaminated beef to the producing facility is often unsuccessful because of inadequate recordkeeping at retail establishments that grind beef products. We conducted a survey in three states par...

Study on ambient and cryogenic grinding was performed to test the novelty of cryogenic grinding and pin point the drawbacks of ambient grinding. Comparative study had shown that ambient grinding need more power (8.92%) and specific energy (14.5%) than cryogenic grinding. Particle size analysis had shown that cryogenic grinding produced coarser particles. Comparative study of energy law constant...

The pretreatment processes consisting of grinding followed by roasting were investigated to improve the selective leaching of Nd and Dy from neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet scraps. The peaks of Nd(OH)3 and Fe were observed in XRD results after grinding with NaOH as the amount of water addition increased to 5 cm. These results indicate that the components of Nd and Fe in NdFeB magnet could b...
