The hydrostatic extrusion is a new method of extrusion process. The most important advantage of this method is reduction of friction and close tolerance for the coating thickness. In this study, the hydrostatic extrusion simulation of bimetallic wires has performed using of finite element method. In the following the advantages of hydrostatic extrusion compared to the direct extrusion are prese...

Abstract—The composite flour blend consisting of corn, pearl millet, black gram and wheat bran in the ratio of 80:5:10:5 was taken to prepare the extruded product and their effect on physical properties of extrudate was studied. The extrusion process was conducted in laboratory by using twin screw extruder. The physical characteristics evaluated include lateral expansion, bulk density, water ab...

A new method for the ring expansion of cyclic diols is described. Using improved conditions for the ruthenium(0) catalyzed cycloaddition of cyclic 1,2-diols with 1,3-dienes, fused [n.4.0] bicycles (n = 3-6) are formed, which upon exposure to iodosobenzene diacetate engage in oxidative cleavage to form the 9-12 membered rings .

Flexible forming processes are characterized by the implementation of shape-independent tools. However, varying properties of semi-finished goods in conjunction with the lack of a forming tool technology also lead to an insufficient reproducibility of the products. In order to overcome this problem a closed-loop control system for the on-line-capable process control was worked out for laser for...

Reliable characterization of the pore structure is essentially important for transport-related durability studies cementitious materials. Mercury intrusion porosimetry has been commonly used measurement while ink-bottle effect significantly affects trustworthiness size features Pressurization-depressurization cycling mercury (PDC-MIP) an alternative approach previously reported with purpose to ...

The present study focussed on the use of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) along with other flour for production of ready-to-eat snack products using extrusion cooking. The ultimate objective is to add value to millet and other subtropical crops to enable their commercialisation and thereby provide additional livelihood opportunities to the farmers in semi‐arid regions. Composite flours were pre...

In situ synchrotron X-ray scattering was used to reveal the transient microstructure of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/tungsten disulfide inorganic nanotubes (WS2NTs) nanocomposites. This is formed during blow molding process (“tube expansion”) an extruded polymer tube, important step in manufacturing PLLA-based bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS). A fundamental understanding how such a develops pro...
