Wear is a complicated phenomenon caused by the relative movement of two contacting surfaces compressed together by a normal force. Prediction of the wear, in most cases, requires various experiments and microstructural characterization of the contacting surfaces. Mathematical models based on physical concepts could provide considerable help in understanding the physical behavior and hence the p...

aa8090 is an extra light and deformable group of lithium containing aluminum alloys which have recently replaced some aerospace aluminum alloys, such as 2000 and 7000 series, due to their higher elastic modulus and lower specific weight. in this study, aa8090 matrix composites containing 3, 6 and 9 vol.% sic were cast using a modified stir casting method. the casting billets were deformed thoug...

in this study the effect of input parameters of the edm process (pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity), on the material removal rate (mrr), tool wear ratio (twr) and maximum surface roughness (rmax) in the machining aisi h13 tool steel has been studied. this study shows that increasing the duty cycle in the two conditions of tool polarity, material removal rate and the maximum surface ro...

The effects of applied load, sliding speed and sliding distance on the dry sliding wear behavior of aged Al-SiCp-Gr composites were investigated. The specimen were fabricated by stir-casting technique. The pin-on-disc wear testing machine was used to investigate the wear rate by design of experiments based on L27 using Taguchi technique. Sliding distance was the most important variable that inf...

background: some studies have shown that casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) and acidulated phosphate fluoride (apf) gel can protect teeth against erosion. the aim of this study was to assess whether cpp-acp and fluoride could reduce enamel wear rates under erosive conditions simulating abrasion and acidic diet regimen. materials and methods: enamel specimens consisted o...
