The purpose of this research is to design disc cutter for cutting poly propylene random co-polymer (PPR) and high density polypropylene (HDP) extrudates. Analytical methods and software including like Catia and ANSYS are used to design the tool and analyze the effect of load on the cutter. In designing the disc Cutter, using the digital logic method of material selection, the optimum material, carbon steel 19573 with the least cost, locally obtainable, manufacturable and with hardness 63.42HRC is selected. The desired optimum combination of hardness and toughness of the cutter is obtained using hardening temperature 10200C, tempering temperature 2000C, and tempering time 120min which finally gives a hardness value of 63.42HRC. The strength and quality of cut edge are tested by cutting hard plastic PPR pipe with maximum thickness of 12.9mm. By the same setup of the cutter used in the factory the prototype disc cutter serves and its failure rate improves from cutting 150 to 250 PPR pipe pieces which was recognized by the industry. The research results can be used to design the cutter disk and fabricate a cutter with enough strength to cut different thickness of PPR pipes without breakage, reducing unwanted additional cost.

Resistance to wear of hot die steel is dependent on its mechanical properties governed by the microstructure. The required properties for given application of hot die steel can be obtained with control the microstructure by heat treatment parameters. In the present paper impact of different heat treatment parameters like austenitizing temperature, tempering time, tempering temperature is studied using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to predict sliding wear of H13 hot die steel. After heat treating samples at austenitizing temperature of 1020°C, 1040°C and 1060°C; tempering temperature 540°C, 560°C and 580°C; tempering time 1hour, 2hours and 3hours, experimentation on pin-on-disc tribo-tester is done to measure the sliding wear of H13 die steel. Box-Behnken design is used to develop a regression model and analysis of variance technique is used to verify the adequacy of developed model in case of RSM. Whereas, multi-layer feed-forward backpropagation architecture with input layer, single hidden layer and an output layer is used in ANN. It was found that ANN proves to be a better tool to predict sliding wear with more accuracy. Correlation coefficient R2 of the artificial neural network model is 0.986 compared to R2 of 0.957 for RSM. However, impact of input parameter interactions can only be analysed using response surface method. In addition, sensitivity analysis is done to determine the heat treatment parameter exerting most influence on the wear resistance of H13 hot die steel and it showed that tempering time has maximum influence on wear volume, followed by tempering temperature and austenitizing temperature. The prediction models will help to estimate the variation in die lifetime by finding the amount of wear that will occur during use of hot die steel, if the heat treatment parameters are varied to achieve different properties.

Dissolution, crystallization and second dissolution traces of isotactic poly(propylene) have been obtained in a slow temperature ramp (3 K h-1) with the C80 Setaram calorimeter. Traces of phase-change, in presence of solvent, are comparable to traces without solvent. The change of enthalpy on heating or cooling, ∆Htotal, over the 40-170 °C temperature range, is the sum of two contributions, ∆HDSC and ∆Hnetwork. The change ∆HDSC is the usual heat obtained in a fast temperature ramp and ∆Hnetwork is associated with a physical network whose disordering is slow and subject to superheating due to strain. When dissolution is complete, ∆Htotal is equal to ∆H0, the heat of fusion of perfect crystals. The values of ∆Htota for nascent and recrystallized samples are compared. Dissolution is the tool to evaluate the quality of the crystals. The repartition of ∆Htotal, into the two endotherms, reflects the quality of crystals. The crystals grown more rapidly have a higher fraction of network crystals which are stable at high T in the solvents. A complete dissolution, i.e. a high temperature (170 °C or more) is necessary to obtain good crystals. The effect of concentration, polymer molecular weight and solvent quality on crystal growth is analyzed.

The Al2O3 nano-films of different thicknesses (1~100nm) were successfully deposited on the monocrystalline Si surface by using ion beam sputtering deposition. The surface topography and the component of nano-films with different thickness were analyzed. The quality of the surface of nano-films was systematically studied. When the films’ thickness increase, the studies by atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectrum（XPS） show that the gathering grain continually grows up and transits from acerose cellula by two-dimensional growth to globularity by three-dimensional growth. The elements O, Al and Si were found on the surface of Al2O3 nano-films. With the thickness of the films increasing, the content of Al gradually increases and the intensity peak of Si wears off, the surface quality of the deposited films is ceaselessly improved

The structures of Pb ( Zr x Ti 1-x) O 3/ YBCO heterostructure with different thickness of PZT sublayer were investigated. The lattice parameter, c of YBCO layer is obtained to be c=11.686±0.001 Å, being of 0.2% larger than that of the bulk one. The lattice parameter, c of PZT layer is c=4.116±0.001 Å, indicating that the composition of the sample is Pb ( Zr 0.48 Ti 0.52) O 3. The misorientations of YBCO/PZT sublayers were observed in the samples B and D. The effect of the crystalline quality of the STO substrate on the quality of the YBCO and PZT epitaxial films was discussed.

Considering the cost reduction in automotive processes, in the case of mechatronic devices that use2-3 colours for symbols, a solution is to replace the multi-component molding injection with the painting of a white component substrate in different colours. However, combined painting techniques, namelypad-painting and spray-painting, can lead to many risks, especially when those symbols are obtained bylaser etching, so removing the final paint layer to let only the first coloured layer be visible. The paper's aim is to present the analysis and reduction of the variation due to the different thickness of the coating layers as well as their drying level by using the ultrasonic measuring techniques and the optical microscopy cross-section to reduce the over-adjusting of the engraving parameters and to improve the final quality of the symbols.

Osteosarcoma, as the most frequent bone tumor cases, can be found in the pelvis bone. Within the pelvis, the ilium is the most common location for osteosarcoma, followed by the acetabulum and then the ischium. Surgery of pelvis is difficult and the reconstruction is complicated mainly due to the geometry complexity and also the weight support function of the pelvis. Endoprosthesis of the ilium is therefore designed to increase the quality of life of the patient. In this study, the iliac implant is designed based on the natural geometry of the ilium, and the size is modified to fit the morphometry of the Eastern Asian. A finite element method (FEM) is proposed as a basic study in material selection. Titanium and its alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) are studied as the potential candidate for the proposed implant while the finite analysis of the bone was also included. As a preliminary study, in this FEM, only the static load is given, each material is assumed to be isotropic and the contacts were considered bonded. FEM in this study is expected to give a better understanding of the stress distribution, and to optimize the selection of materials.

The aim of this work is to study the effect of austenizing time, tempering process and tempering time on corrosion rate of austenitic stainless steel in oxalic acid. The samples of typical 304 stainless steel were heated to 1050°C for 10, 20 and 30 minutes and quenched to room temperature in water, then tempered at 250°C, 400°C and 600°C for 30, 60 minutes for each tempering time. These samples were then immersed in 0.1M of oxalic acid and then their weight losses were measured after 30 days. The result obtained show that corrosion rate of all austenitic stainless steel samples decreased with an increase austenizing time, this behaviour is due to more homogenously of austenite, and the corrosion rate will be increased with increase the tempering temperature and tempering time, this behaviour is due different phases at microstructure below 400°C, and above of 400 to 600°C the corrosion rate will be increased due to formation of carbides which are non-uniform distributed at the grain boundaries and causes intergranular corrosion.

The ultrasonic method can be used for testing and analyzing the pore size of concrete. By studying the spectrum curves which is formed by ultrasonic transmitting at different thickness concrete panels can we get different time regular patterns of head waves formed by ultrasonic going through homogeneous concrete, compact grouting pore, grouting incompact pore, not grouting pore. All these provide a basis for predicting prestressed bellows pore grouting quality and judging whether there is interspace in pore. By artificially setting defects in bellows pore, for example, filling the pore to completely empty, 1/4 compact, 1/2 compact, 3/4 compact, fully compact and then embedding them in a concrete slab for ultrasonic testing. Test results show that the ultrasonic method can effectively evaluate the grouting quality of prestressed bellows pore.

One of the processes used to separate parts from plate-type workpiece is laser beam cutting. The evaluation of the quality of the machined surfaces can be performed by taking into account the influence exerted by some input factors in the cutting process on the width of the slot and on the roughness of the surfaces generated by the laser beam cutting process. The paper presents the results of experimental research performed on a steel plate type workpiece. The objective pursued was to reveal the influence exerted by several input factors of the laser beam cutting process on some output parameters of this process. Empirical mathematical models corresponding to the output parameters taken into account were established. It was possible to order the input factors in the process by taking into consideration their weight in the values of the output parameters.
