Fluidized bed processing is a relatively novel method for coating metal substrates. A detailed study was carried out into surface property and in micro-structure changes induced by fluidized bed processing. In particular, fluidized bed processing of AA 6082 T6 aluminum alloy components using alumina Al2O3 powder was investigated. Firstly, the build up of Al2O3 films was studied and characterize...

The influence of pretreatment methods like physical, chemical, combined and hybrid treatments on the Turkey berry (Solanum torvum) fruits to enhance water diffusion during drying was assessed due removing a waxy layer peel. Pretreated untreated samples were dried at 70 ?C 4 m/s air flow in fluidized bed dryer. Fruits pretreated with abrasion blanching have lowest time good vitamin C content ret...
