Thus, the focus is shifting to the improvement of production facilities in order to minimize resource consumption. When planning a more energy efficient production, it is advisable to set up a continuous monitoring system on the existing equipment to get an insight into the prevailing energy consumption. Based on this, optimization potentials can be identified. Different possibilities for increasing energy efficiency already exist, including e.g. the use of more efficient equipment or the optimal use of the facility. However, realistic assessments of saving potentials are a big challenge. In this paper, a virtual model of a learning factory is created to assess a realistic energy consumption profile. Using currently measured energy data and possible investment activities, scenarios for energy optimization in the assembly line are generated. By evaluating the scenarios using the virtual model, realistic saving potentials can be determined and evaluated, enabling investment planning to be strategically improved through the consideration of energy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73735162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We observed a rod-typed Al 3 Sc eutectic phase existing prevalently in an as-cast Al-2 wt. % Sc alloy that solidified via both slow cooling in air (~1 oC·s−1) and rapid cooling in a wedge-shaped copper mold (up to ~3000 oC·s−1), different from reported results. Al-Al3Sc eutectic dendrites were identified within a narrow region near the edge of the wedge. The eutectic dendrites have an equiaxed dendritic contour and a rod eutectic structure inside. The condition for the growth of the eutectic dendrites was assessed by using appropriate analytical models. It was revealed that an interface undercooling of 48.2 oC is required to form the eutectic dendrites, or to enter the coupled zone of the Al-Al3Sc phase diagram. A phenomenon of scientific interest is that when crystallizing under a near-equilibrium condition, the eutectic Al3Sc phase formed a non-faceted morphology, in contradiction to its faceted nature. Based on the competitive growth criterion, we deduced that the non-faceting of the eutectic Al3Sc phase essentially reduces the interface undercooling for the resultant regular eutectic, in comparison to an otherwise irregular eutectic that contains a faceted eutectic Al3Sc phase.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86509622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their application is bottlenecked by limitation in high-capacity cathode and types of materials to achieve satisfactory cyclability. Therefore, developing new cathode materials for rechargeable zinc-ion batteries is essential. Herein, we report promising ZIBs based on metal-organic framework-derived 2-methylimidazole zinc salt (ZIF-8)/Mn2O3 nanocomposites as cathode and zinc as the anode. ZnMn2O4/Mn2O3 bi-component nanorods were synthesized by annealing ZIF-8/MnO2 precursors, which showed a reversible discharge capacity of 230 mAh g–1 at 100 mA g–1 after 120 cycles and a high capacity of 80 mAh g–1 at a large current density of 1000 mA g–1. The superior zinc storage performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between ZnMn2O4 and Mn2O3.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76199400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing ways to loosen the connectors of brake pipes have been investigated, especially those whose dismantling is complicated due to the corrosion and contamination of mated surfaces as a result of their wetting when driving a car. A conventional structure of the connector has been analyzed, which is installed in that place of the car that is the most unprotected from moisture and dirt – on the brake cylinder. The conditions that do not contribute to its failure-free loosening have been examined. The design of a specialized split clamping ring wrench has been considered, which can transmit the greatest value of the torque to the connector when loosening it; sometimes, however, its predefined value would not suffice. A computer-based finite-element simulation was employed to derive the models of the deformation state for the node «connector ‒ wrench». Based on the analysis of the models of different deformation state of a specialized split clamping ring wrench, the required profile of the geometrically balanced locked hexagonal profile of the wrench was defined. The analysis of the efficiency of the tightening and loosening level is determined by comparing the numerical values of the torque, which is applied to the connectors of the brake pipes. The torque values are measured by a specially devised technique. The introduction of the developed measurement technique makes it possible to compare the efficiency of wrenches of different designs by analyzing the maximum values of torques, which the wrenches can transmit to the connectors. Taking into consideration the identified shortcomings in the structure of the brake pipe connectors, the shape of the connector has been designed that is free from the specified drawbacks. The new structure provides for the possibility of using a conventional carob wrench for loosening when the mated surfaces are exposed to contamination and corrosion","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90658507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An experimental study was mounted to study these concrete properties and the effects of using sawdust ash (SDA) and gum Arabic (GA). In studying these effects four concrete mixtures designated as C/00SDA:GA-00, C/00-SDA:GA-0.5, C/10-SDA:GA-0.5, and C/30-SDA:GA-0.5, respectively. The Mix with C/00-SDA:GA-00, is the control (containing zero percent SDA and GA), with a mix proportion of 1: 2.24: 2.71. The cement content was 370 kg/m3 with a water-cement ratio of 0.5. The other mixes contain either 0.5 % GA (only), or 0.5 % GA with 10 % SDA or 30 % SDA replacement by wt. % of cement, as the case may be. The results showed that the addition of GA and SDA to concrete have various degrees of effects on the concrete parameters. The effect of 0.5 % GA decreased the density of the cube sample but increased the beam and the cylinder samples. On the other hand, the mechanical strengths were increased for all the samples. Using GA with SDA reduced the mechanical strengths of all the concrete samples. However, Ca (OH) 2 was reduced by 54 % by the addition of 10 % SDA and 12 % by 30 % SDA addition by wt. % of cement. The empirical models developed on the density and mechanical strengths showed good predictive values with relative predictive errors (RPE) ranging from 0.00% to 0.045 %.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80914723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite adequate observations, the dissolution behavior is not yet well understood. Based on the hot-compression bonding experiments of a Fe-Cr-Ni stainless steel, first-principles calculations are adopted to reveal the diffusion of oxygen in the Cr₂O₃/FCC-Fe heterostructure to identify the dissolution process. The results show that the heterogeneous interface favors the formation of oxygen vacancies, and the oxygen prefers to diffuse through the facet of coordination tetrahedron of Cr atoms than their bridge-site. The dissolution of the oxides is dominated by the diffusion of dissociated oxygen to the interface due to its high activation energy of 720 kJ·mol^-1, while the heterogeneous interface provides a favorable transport channel to allow the oxygen diffuse into iron matrix.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"221 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79022229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fatigue cracks initiate from the surface of the as-built SLMed Ti-6Al-4V, but from the subsurface of the surface-polished SLMed Ti-6Al-4V. The size and depth of the defect inducing fatigue crack initiation of as-built SLMed Ti-6Al-4V is much smaller than that of surface-polished SLMed Ti-6Al-4V. Fatigue cracks are much easier to propagate in as-built than surface-polished SLMed Ti-6Al-4V.

Flash events occurred at all frequencies when the power dissipation reached 10–20 mW·mm⁻³. The onset temperature for AC-flash sintering was in the range of 1230 °C–1300 °C. The Y₂O₃ bodies sintered under an AC field showed a uniform microstructure, without an asymmetric grain size distribution between the electrodes. The onset temperature for the flash sintering, final density, and grain size of the flash sintered specimens depended on the frequency. In particular, the Y₂O₃ body consolidated at 1 kHz exhibited a relative density greater than 99% and an average grain size of 1.6 μm. This almost full densification probably resulted from the high input power at the relatively high onset temperature of the AC-flash sintering at this frequency. The temperature dependence of the power dissipation during the AC-flash sintering experiments was influenced by the frequency of the applied field. The apparent dependence on the frequency can be ascribed to the periodic fluctuations of the specimen temperature at low frequencies and to the phase shift between the applied field and the specimen current at high frequencies.","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89460642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
