The goal of the research is to develop an experimental mathematical model of pan coating process effect on the biodegradable polymer and to determine optimal process parameters. The polymer solution was conducted with phosphated di-starch phosphate, polyvinyl alcohol, and polyacrylic acid and performed as material coating for the controlled-release urea fertilizer. The image analysis method has been used to determine the particle size distribution, Sauter mean diameter of the particle and layer thickness that is novel. The central composite rotatable design has been selected to determine the regression models of the process, which described the relationship between two objective variables as layer thickness, release time with angle of pan, spray flow, and coating time. The statistical analysis results indicate the fitness of model.

Generally, interactions at surface asperities are the cause of wear. Two-Thirds of wear in industry occurs because of the abrasive or adhesive mechanisms. This research presents an analytical model for abrasion of additive manufactured Digital Light Processing products using pin-on-disk method. Particularly, the relationship between abrasion volume, normal load, and surface asperities’ angle is investigated. To verify the proposed mathematical model, the results of this model are verified with the practical experiments. Results show that the most influential parameters on abrasion rate are normal load and surface’s normal angle. Abrasion value increases linearly with increasing normal load. The maximum abrasion value occurs when the surface’s normal angle during fabrication is 45°. After the asperities are worn the abrasion volume is the same for all specimens with different surface’s normal angle. Though layer thickness does not directly affect the wear rate, but surface roughness tests show that layer thickness has a great impact on the quality of the abraded surface. When the thickness of the layers is high, the abraded surface has deeper valleys, and thus has a more negative skewness. This paper presents an original approach in abrasion behavior improvement of DLP parts which no research has been done on it so far; thus, bringing the AM one step closer to maturity.

Thick Cu−Sn alloy layers were produced in an [EMIM]Cl ionic-liquid solution from CuCl2 and SnCl2 in different ratios. All work, including the electrodeposition, took place outside the glovebox with a continuous argon stream over the electrolyte at 95 °C. The layer composition and layer thickness can be adjusted by the variation of the metal-salts content in the electrolyte. A layer with a thickness of up to 15 µm and a copper content of up to ωCu = 0.86 was obtained. The phase composition was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Furthermore, it was found that the relationship between the alloy composition and the concentration of the ions in the electrolyte is described as an irregular alloy system as according to Brenner. Brenner described such systems only for aqueous electrolytes containing complexing agents such as cyanide. In this work, it was confirmed that irregular alloy depositions also occur in [EMIM]Cl.

A series of VC/TiN nano-multilayer films with various TiN layer thicknesses were synthesized by magnetron sputtering method. The relationship between the modulation structure and superhardness effect of the multilayer films were investigated. The results reveal that TiN below a critical layer thickness grows coherently with VC layers in multilayers. Correspondingly, the hardness and elastic modulus of the multilayers increase significantly. The maximum hardness and modulus achieved in these multilayers is 40.7GPa and 328GPa.With further increase in the TiN layer thickness, coherent structure of multilayers are destroyed, resulting in a remarkable decrease of hardness and modulus. The superhardness effect of multilayers is related to the three directional strains generated from the coherent structure.

In hydraulic engineering, intense free surface breakups have been observed to develop in high-speed open channel flows, resulting in a mixed air-water layer near the free surface that grows with the development of self-aeration. This region is characterized by a substantial number of droplets coexisting with an induced air layer above. Little information about this droplet layer is currently available and no practicable approach has been proposed for predicting the parameters of the induced air layer based on the related flow structures in the droplet layer. In this research, laboratory experiments were accordingly conducted to observe the detailed droplet layer development in terms of layer thickness, droplet size, and frequency distributions under comparative flow conditions. Based on the simplified droplet layer roughness determined using the experimentally measured mean droplet size, the classical power-law of boundary layer theory was applied to provide an analytical solution for the air velocity profile inside the air layer. The relationship of air layer growth to droplet layer thickness, which is a key factor when determining the air velocity distribution, was also established, and the analytical results were proven to be in reasonable agreement with air velocity profiles presented in the literature. By determining the relationship between droplet layer properties and air velocity profiles, the study establishes a basis for the improved modeling of high-speed open channel flows.
