Silver-sheathed tapes were fabricated using a Bi-2223 system. The tapes were processed to their final thickness by direct rolling as well as by repeated rolling with intermediate heat treatment. The rolling reduction rate was also varied to find its effect on the final properties. The critical current J(c) measured at 77 K could be enhanced to 12 500 A cm-2 for repeatedly rolled tapes from 2770 A cm-2, obtained in directly rolled tapes processed under identical conditions. In repeatedly rolled tapes the J(c)-B variations were found to be much lower in comparison to the directly rolled tapes. Texture evaluation using the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance showed the a-b plane orientation to be along the rolling direction.

The effect of hammer mill screen size on processing parameters and particle size of milled sorghum were examined. Sorghum grains were ground through two levels of hammer mill screen size: 2 mm and 6 mm and then subsequently fractionated by size on a set of eight sieves ranging from 0.045 mm to 2.8 mm. The objective of this experiment were: i) to characterize the influence of hammer mill screen size (2 and 6 mm) on processing parameters: production output, energy consumption, average particle size (d(gw)), geometric standard deviation (s(gw));ii) to characterize the influence of particle size, after segregation by sieving, on starch enrichment. The results of this study showed that using 6 mm hammer milling screen size has resulted in a significant effect on production output, energy consumption, d(gw) with no effect on s(gw). Different particle sizes, when segregated by sieving, have shown significant effect on starch content. Particle size retained by sieve size 1.7 mm had the highest starch content, whereas particles retained by sieve size 0.125 mm had the lowest, which suggest potential applications in ruminant and monogastric nutrition.

The objective of this study was to tailor a drug release profile through the adjustment of some key processing parameters involved in melt-extrusion: die temperature, shear rate, die length and drug particle size. Two experimental designs were selected, namely a 2-level full factorial design to examine the effects and significance of the processing factors, and a central composite design of the surface responses to find the best set of factor levels to obtain given specifications of drug release. Extrudates of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride were prepared using a ram extruder. Drug release profiles from the matrix systems were fitted using a power law, for which a new mathematical expression of a burst release was provided. The burst release and exponent were selected as the responses. The processing factors had a drastic influence on the drug release. Within the domain that was investigated, the burst release and the exponent varied from 6 to 54% and 0.1 to 0.4, respectively, resulting in a time requires for 50% drug release extending from hours to weeks. These results demonstrated the possibilities of modulating the release profile by means of the processing parameters rather than through the classical approach of altering the formulation.

The aim of this study was to analyze the composition of Iranian buffalo milk and study the effect of different parameters such as fat content, acidity of milk, starter culture and temperature on the composition of buffalo feta cheese. The feta cheese yields obtained from buffalo milk were higher in comparison with the yields reported for cow milk. Higher yields were obtained when the fat content of the milk was increased. Rise in the raw milk acidity increased the yield and reduced the fat, protein and lactose loses. Thermophilic and mesophilic starter cultures exhibited better activities at 38 degrees C and 34 degrees C, respectively. Pasteurization resulted in significantly (p < 0.05) higher yields, but homogenization did not affect the yield notably (p > 0.05). The results of this study revealed that buffalo milk could be regarded as a good source for the production of feta cheese due to elevated amounts of fat, protein and Ca. The results showed that optimum conditions were needed to achieve the higher yields. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This study investigated the processing parameters and formulation factors on the bioadhesive properties, temperature stability properties, and drug release properties of miconazole in PolyOxA (R) and KlucelA (R) matrix systems produced by Hot-melt Extrusion (HME) technology. Miconazole incorporated into these matrix systems were found to be stable for 8 months by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The addition of miconazole increased area under the curve (AUC) at contact time intervals of 30 and 60 sec, while the bioadhesion decreased with an increase in processing temperatures. The release profiles suggest that a sustained release of miconazole was observed from all of the tested HME film formulations for approximately 10 h. The release from the optimal HME film extruded at 205A degrees C was found to be significantly different than that extruded at 190A degrees C. Therefore, this matrix system may address the present shortcomings of currently available therapy for oral and pharyngeal candidiasis.

An advanced rheomolder, equipped with a thin-walled phone cover mold, was introduced and used to manufacture the AZ91D magnesium alloy. Effects of different processing parameters including pouring temperature, cylinder temperature and injection velocity on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results showed that, with the decrease of pouring temperature or the increase of injection velocity, the size of alpha(1)-Mg decreases while the sphericity increases, and the porosity fraction reduces, which raise mechanical properties of rheomolded AZ91D. As the cylinder temperature decreases, the size of a1-Mg decreases and the sphericity increases initially and then remains relatively unchanged while the solid fraction increases continuously. Also, the cylinder temperature has a significant effect on mechanical properties of rheomolded AZ91D and the highest mechanical property is obtained at a cylinder temperature of 555 degrees C. The optimal rheomolded AZ91D with tensile strength of 273 MPa and elongation of 7.2 % were obtained at the pouring temperature of 600 degrees C, injection velocity of 2.1 m/s and cylinder temperature of 555 degrees C. Compared with high pressure die-casting, the tensile strength and elongation were increased by 22.4 and 213 %, respectively.

This paper is dealing with the influence of processing parameters for manufacturing of steel-carbon-fiber-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) hybrid plates by using the one-shot-hybrid resin-transfer-moulding (OSH-RTM) process. A design of experiments study was carried out. The quality of the manufactured parts was quantified by the bending modulus, the apparent interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), the maximum deflection and the density of the CFRP. The following changeable processing parameters were chosen: mould temperature, resin temperature, change in mass flow and maximum injection pressure. It is shown that the mould temperature and the change in mass flow show significant impact on the flexural modulus, density and maximum deflection of the plate while there is no significant impact on the apparent ILSS. Furthermore, the interaction between the mould temperature and resin temperature is having an influence on the flexural modulus and density.

The effect of the following processing parameters on the degree of infiltration of SiCp preforms by Al-Si-Mg alloys was investigated and quantified: SiC particle size, SiC type and Mg content in the aluminium alloy. These parameters were studied at two levels: 20 and 75 mum, GC and C, and, 3% and 6% Mg, respectively. The contribution of each of the aforementioned parameters and their interactions was determined using analysis of variance and the effect of the levels of each parameter was examined using surface response analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) results show that particle size is the parameter that most significantly impacts the degree of infiltration, followed by magnesium content in the alloy. Surface response analysis shows-that regardless of-the type of SiC,the degree of infiltration increases with increase in magnesium content and that the increase rate in the degree of infiltration is higher for GC-SiC than that for C-SiC. For both SiC particle sizes, the type of SiC has no significant effect on the degree of infiltration;however, GC-SiC enhances infiltration. When using an alloy 3 wt.% Mg in the alloy, SiC particle size slightly affects the degree of infiltration. In contrast, an alloy 6 wt. % Mg significantly affects the degree of infiltration. An increase, in the degree of infiltration with increase in Mg content is observed for both particle sizes;however, in preforms with 75-mum powders, such increment is negligible compared to that for preforms with 20-mum powders. Accordingly, the optimum parameters for maximum degree of infiltration are: 20-mum powders, 6 wt.% Mg in the alloy and GC-SiC. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

As a deposition technology, gas metal arc welding (GMAW) has shown new promise for rapid prototyping of metallic parts. During the process of metal forming using the arc of GMA W, low heat input and stable droplet transition are critical to high quality figuration. The effects of various processing parameters on figuration quality were studied in the experiment of GMA W rapid prototyping using the wire of ERSO-6 , including welding voltage, wire feeding rate, welding speed and so on. The optimal parameters for ERSO-6 are obtained. Simultaneously, it is verified that the rapid prototyping parts with favorable structures and quality can be achieved under the conditions of low heat input and stable droplet transition.
