A die angle is one of the most important parameters for a drawing process. It should be chosen in that way that a draw stress is low, a wire surface quality is satisfactory and die durability is high [1]. The temperature of a wire in deformation zone depends on amounts of heat generated during a drawing. This heat consists of two components; one is the work piece deformation and another is fric...

The present work analyses different parameters of pressure die casting to minimize the casting defects. Pressure diecasting is usually applied for casting of aluminium alloys. Good surface finish with required tolerances and dimensional accuracy can be achieved by optimization of controllable process parameters such as solidification time, molten temperature, filling time, injection pressure an...

The effect of the refractive index of the substrate together with the incident polarization on the optimization of sawtooth surface-relief gratings (SRGs) is investigated. The global optimum diffraction efficiencies of the -1st forward-diffracted order of sawtooth SRGs are 63.3% occurring at n2=1.47 for TE polarization and 73.8% occurring at n2=2.88 for TM polarization. Incident TE polarization...

For specified program behavior and clocking overhead, there is an optimum cycle time. This can be improved somewhat by using wave pipelining, but program unpredictability ultimately limits performance by restricting both cycle time and instruction level parallelism. Algorithm and application implementation should be based on understanding of program behavior, CAD tools, and technology. System o...
