    Pulizia in linea del filo metallico su impianti di trafilatura ad alta velocità: Innovazione, ecologia e performance

    No full text
    Nei processi di trafilatura il filo metallico subisce una sequenza di passaggi forzati attraverso matrici (filiere), di diametro decrescente, che ne riducono progressivamente la sezione fino al valore desiderato. Per assicurare il passaggio attraverso le filiere, riducendo quanto più possibile l’attrito, è necessaria una lubrificazione, ottenuta tramite l’utilizzo di diverse sostanze chimiche: si passa da emulsioni acqua/olio per lubrificazione liquida, a stearati di sodio e/o calcio o polimeri per lubrificazione solida. Tali lubrificanti devono formare un film sottile, omogeneo e ben adeso al filo, ma devono poter essere rimossi al termine dei processi di riduzione di sezione se si desidera ottenere un filo superficialmente pulito e pronto per eventuali successivi trattamenti galvanici, termici o di rivestimento superficiale di vario genere. In questo articolo verrà analizzata una tecnica innovativa per la pulizia del filo, in linea con l’impianto di trafilatura, applicabile sia a monte del processo (pulizia/decapaggio della vergella) sia a valle (pulizia finale prebobinatura). La tecnica in esame, basata su un processo elettrochimico, può essere integrata su linee già esistenti e va a sostituire le vasche chimiche o ad ultrasuoni di pulizia post-trafilatura, facendo uso di elettroliti a minor impatto ambientale rispetto ai tradizionali liquidi per sgrassaggio acido e alcalino

    È descritto un metodo di preparazione del composto magnetocalorico AlFe2B2, del tipo che prevede una reazione di combustione di una miscela di reagenti comprendenti polveri elementali di ferro, alluminio e boro, o pre-alligate ferroalluminio, ferro-boro, detta combustione essendo innescata per mezzo di una esposizione di detta miscela a microonde e detto composto magnetocalorico AlFe2B2 essendo poi separato dai sottoprodotti di detta reazione di combustione, caratterizzato dal fatto che dette microonde, sono utilizzate prevalentemente in campo elettrico (E mode) o in campo magnetico (H mode), in modo tale che dette microonde, in campo prevalentemente elettrico, tendano a surriscaldare le polveri di alluminio e boro, mentre dette microonde, in campo prevalentemente magnetico, tendano a surriscaldare le polveri di ferro. È parte integrante della presente invenzione anche una procedura di separazione del composto magnetocalorico AlFe2B2 dai sottoprodotti di detta reazione di combustione

    According to literature, the synthetic route to produce High entropy alloys (HEAs) should guarantee short alloying time, efficient cooling and capability to operate in controlled atmosphere. Such conditions can be achieved using high frequency electromagnetic fields, like microwave heating. In this work FeCoNiCrAl and FeCoNiCuAl, both equiatomic and reinforced by the 10% wt. of SiC were prepared by microwave assisted techniques. Results show that direct microwave heating of the powder precursors occurs, until the ignition conditions are reached. The temperature and duration of the microwave-assisted process result much lower than other conventional powder metallurgy routes, but at the cost of a higher residual porosity. Sample characterization confirmed that the powder metallurgy approach is suitable to retain the shape of the load imparted during forming by uniaxial pressing. The homogeneity of the samples resulted in being good in all cases, without the dendritic segregation typically occurring by liquid phase processing. © 2017 European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA

    A micro/nanoscale surface mechanical study on morpho-functional changes in multilineage-differentiated human mesenchymal stem cells.

    In recent years MSCs have become a very attractive tool in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine because of their ability to be committed along several lineages through chemical or physical stimuli. Nevertheless their therapeutic potential and plasticity are not yet totally understood. This report describes the use of AFM together with conventional microscopies to obtain mechanical information on cell surfaces and deposited extra cellular matrix molecules, after inducing the differentiation of human MSCs towards three typical mesoderm phenotypes. The aim is to correlate morphological, functional, and mechanical aspects of human MSCs to obtain a deeper understanding of their great potential

    Microwave energy application to combustion synthesis: A comprehensive review of recent advancements and most promising perspectives

    No full text
    Microwave heating fundamentally differs from other heating techniques as the consequence of its unique characteristic of being based on the electromagnetic energy transfer from the microwaves source to the interacting material, which according to its electric, dielectric, and magnetic properties can convert the absorbed energy into heat. This peculiar heating mechanism is at the basis of plenty of unquestionable advantages that were reported during the last three decades in most of the different branches of chemistry as well as materials science, thus including also combustion synthesis. After a brief overview of the microwave heating fundamentals as well as of the different components constituting the scientific microwave applicators, all the most significant and recent advancements in the use of microwaves as energy source in both solid-state as well as solution combustion synthesis processes will be comprehensively reviewed, highlighting the unique opportunities arising from the coupling of these two energy efficient techniques. Moreover the possible employment of less conventional frequencies as well as the use of new-generation solid state generators will be critically discussed also in the framework of scaling-up and microwave reactor design considerations

    Title of the Thesis: Case Study of Physiotherapy Treatment of a Patient after Total Knee Replacement. Author: Osama Ali Trombi Work Placement: Rehabilitační Nemocnice Beroun Summary I divided the bachelor's thesis, which I wrote myself, into two parts. The first is the general part, which describes the overall anatomy of the knee joint (bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves and blood supply), as well as surgical and non-surgical approaches to the treatment of the knee joint. Furthermore, information on the kinesiological and biomechanical properties of the knee joint. In the second part, the practical part, I analyzed the procedures I performed with the patient. All clinical examinations including their results, subsequent therapeutic sessions, final assessment and results of conclusions are also included in the practical part of the bachelor thesis. The final part contains a list of used literature, tables, abbreviations, patient consent and the consent of the ethics committee. Key Words: knee joint, physiotherapy treatment, Knee replacement, knee exercises, Osteoarthritis
