... greatest in the flow direction during molding (3-axis, C 33 ), followed by the transverse (2-axis, C 22 ) and pressing (1-axis, C 11 ) directions. Moreover, experimental measurements for the elastic anisotropy and degree of preferred orientation in the same specimen plane were correlated. A micromechanical...

... s − 1 to 1 × 10 2 s − 1 encompassing most conditions experienced in automotive crash situations. The effect of prestraining to 3.5% with or without successive annealing at 180 ° C for 30 min has also been evaluated. These treatments were used to simulate pressing of the plates and the paint-bake...

...Arman Hasani; László S. Tóth; Benoît Beausir A variant of the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process is examined in this paper where the channels are of rectangular shape with different thicknesses while the widths of the channels are the same. The process is named nonequal channel angular...

...Wei Qingsong; Du Yanying; Qu Bingbing; Shi Yusheng The process that combines selective laser sintering (SLS) and cold isostatic pressing (CIP) can manufacture nearly fully dense metal components with complex geometries. However, the SLS component will shrink to a significant extent during the CIP...

... pressing (ECAP) was used to produce a wide range of grain sizes, down to the submicrometer scale. The samples were heat treated before and after both processes to optimize tensile ductility. Implementation of the model to uniaxial tensile response of the conventionally rolled and the ECAP processed...

...S. F. Hassan; M. Gupta Nano- Y 2 O 3 particulates containing ductile magnesium nanocomposites were synthesized using blend-press-sinter powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. Microstructural characterization of the nanocomposite samples showed fairly uniform reinforcement...

... to 90 mAh ∕ g for electrodes without compression. Furthermore, compressed electrodes were cycled up to 20 times, without significant capacity losses, while uncompressed electrodes exhibited capacity fade after a single cycle. Gnanaraj et al. ( 3 ) found, however, that excessive pressing...
