Cold forging is a key manufacturing process in fastener production, utilizing multi-stage die systems to plastically deform materials under high compressive stresses. In cold forming operations such as extrusion, reduction, and head forming, WC-Co materials are widely employed in die applications, selected based on the specific requirements of the process. These die materials used in cold forming must exhibit high wearresistance and fatigue strength due to the substantial forming forces that generate significant stresses within the dies. Boriding, a surface treatment method, is applied to enhance these mechanical properties. This study investigates the effects of pack-boriding treatment on the fatigue life and wear properties of WC-Co material containing 19 % Co, which are used as die inserts in cold forging die systems. Three sets of samples were pack-borided using EKABOr-2 boron powder at 1000 °C, 950 °C, and 900 °C for 4 h under each temperature condition to accomplish this process. Following the pack-boriding process, pin-on-plate wear tests were conducted under both non-lubricated and lubricated conditions to evaluate the wear performance of the samples. Three-point bending fatigue tests were performed to assess the fatigue behavior of the borided samples. After the fatigue test, Goodman-Haigh diagrams were obtained from the experimental results to be utilized in predictive die-life calculations. X-ray diffraction (Xrd) analysis confirmed the formation of CoB, Co 2 B, WB 2 and W 2 CoB 2 phases in the borided layer. results indicate that increasing boriding temperature significantly improves wearresistance and surface hardness, with the highest microhardness (4104 HV 0 . 1 ) and the lowest wear track width (183 µm non-lubricated, 70.76 µm lubricated) measured at 1000 °C. However, the thick and brittle boride layer induced stress concentrations, negatively affecting the material’s fatigue performance. According to the Goodman-Haigh diagrams, the highest fatigue

In this paper, we propose a 3d-based visual assistance system for teleoperation using 3d point clouddata. In a teleoperating system, it is essential to provide the teleoperator with highly realistic information. By using 3d point clouddata, the teleoperator can observe the working environment from different viewpoints and apply various task-solving methods to it.

Lithium manganese oxides (LMO) are highly promising sorbents for lithium extraction from Li+-containing brines with high salt contents due to their high sorption capacity and high selectivity towards lithium. However, conventional synthesis routes are limited in scale. Therefore, herein a novel spray drying method is presented, enabling a scalable synthesis of LMO sorbents for Li+-extraction. The ion exchange material was studied in both synthetic LiCl solutions and two different geothermal brines from the Upperrhine valley, demonstrating improved Li selectivity and extraction capabilities compared to materials from hydrothermal synthesis approaches. The extraction behavior in relevant mildly acidic environments was studied in detail. Further material improvements were achieved by substituting a fraction of Mn by Ti, which greatly reduced the dissolution of manganese during acid treatment in the first 5 extraction cycles from 5.6% to only 1.8%. In addition, the maximum sorption capacity of the Ti-containing LMO (LMTO) could be further increased from 5.05 mmol g-1 for LMO (35.1 mg g-1 ) to 5.66 mmol g-1 for LMTO (39.3 mg g-1 ) under optimized m/V-ratios. Hence, the results reported herein present a pathway towards LMO-based ion exchange materials for the direct lithium extraction (dLE) on an industrial scale.

Situation awareness and its ambiguities are some of the main problems forrescue robotics. In a disaster area, there are many obstacles and confined passages. The operator must perceive the environment anddecide the robot motion based on limited sensordata. These make it difficult for the operator to perceive the situation. The operator should be aware of the relative size of the obstacles in comparison with the rescue robot and the direction of the robot to navigate the disaster area and avoid collisions with obstacles. In this paper, we propose a software framework to reduce these ambiguities. A 3d map constructed with a 3d laser scanner and a robot model in this map can reduce the ambiguities. We also estimate future robot paths using the control inputs. Then, we perform collision detection in the expected paths and their neighbors. The collision results are displayed in the reconstructed 3d map using iterative closest points(ICP) algorithm. In this paper, we define interactive remote robot operation(IrrO) by extracting the common properties forreducing the ambiguities and abstracting them. The IrrO is composed of two parts, a simulation and evaluation step for the future robot motion and an interactive user interface system.

Generating deep grooves using long blades is a challenge due to excessive chatter vibrations. In the present paper, an analytical simplified solution of the critical grooving width is obtained. It is found that a cross FrF of the tool dominates the solution. A conventional grooving tool with long overhang is tested where chatter vibrations develop. A new tool with attacheddynamic Vibration Absorber (dVA) is designed to replace the conventional one and a novel dVA tuning mechanism is presented. The cross FrF real part is optimized via modal experiments and the tuning mechanism. Machining experiments are conducted for both grooving systems in order to verify the model predictions. Grooving is unstable using the conventional blade while it is stable with the tuned new one.
