CAD/CAE application in centering EDM machine design
The centering EDM machine can be completed online centering hole processing. Traveling by the high speed line feed mechanism, low speed line feed mechanism, rotating body, lifting body, auto body for baseball, Swing components, such as buffer baffle. The advantage of this approach is: a small device, processing consistency, and efficient processing, process automation, and effective in the elimination round billet rolling wear puncher into a capillary formed by the iron handle. In order to design the machine, the CAD/CAE technology, basing on the conception of global structure, dwelling on selecting motor, 3D modeling with solidworks, dynamic simulation with cosmosmotion, and analysis the key parts using finite element method were presented.
Development of new material and heat treatment for tools ensuring high performance in hot seamless tube rolling
Abstract A new technology has been developed to improve the life of tools used for high temperature steel rolling in seamless tube manufacturing. It is a joint technology combining a new chemical composition and a special heat treatment. The new steel tool material has high Cr, C, and Ni contents compared with those of the conventional tools in order to increase the volume fraction of carbide which increases wear resistance. Through the new heat treatment, the macroscopic distribution pattern of eutectic carbide changes from meshlike to granular form increasing resistance against crack propagation. The validity of the results in the laboratory has been verified on the production line.
The formation of polymerizable tubules
We have been investigating the crystallization behavior of the phospholipid amphiphile, 1,2 bis (10, 12-tricosadiynol)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, DC8,9PC, which forms both vesicles and hollow tubules as well as Langmuir Blodgett monolayers and multilayers. This material has polymerizable diacetylene groups in equivalent positions on the two hydrocarbon tails. The direct crystallization from solution of this amphiphile has been studied using different solvent mixtures and temperatures. The Langmuir Blodgett technique was also used to compress and orient the tubules.
