Glass/epoxy (G-E) products are widely used in numerous industries nowadays. This is due to favorable characteristics of these including low cost, ease manufacturing, good mechanical properties, and lightweight. The properties G-E composites can be enhanced through mixing with natural reinforcement materials. In this work, we investigate the use date seeds (DSs) as a material for composites. A DS filler has been added hybrid powder by applying semiautomatic technique. Glass fibers reinforced...

Abstract Polymer composites have been widely exploited in numerous industries. Micro-particle fillers are typically added as reinforcement materials to improve the characteristics of these composites. In this work, organic nanoparticles date seeds were a filler for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) produce enhanced polymer nanocomposites. A date-seed nanofiller (DSN) was prepared and examined with x-ray diffraction measurements, then PET by hot compression. The PET-DSN composite...

In most applications, joining aluminum to copper using friction stir welding (FSW) is a primary manufacturing process followed by secondary forming processes. The aim of this study investigate the effect FSW parameters (speed and feed rate) on formability Al-Cu joints. Aluminum blanks were welded at three different rotational speeds, i.e., 910, 1280, 1700 rpm, rates, 16, 29, 44 mm/min. base metals used in (Al-1050) two states, as received annealed. mechanical properties produced compounds...

Purpose The fiber orientation is considered one of the important parameters that have an effect on characteristics composites. This paper aims to investigate abrasive wear glass-epoxy (G-E) composites with different silicon carbide (SiC) filler weights (Wt.%). Design/methodology/approach rate glass reinforced angle-ply 0º, ±45º and 90º discussed. G-E SiC at angle are considered. Hand lay-up technique was adopted for specimen preparation. influence effective such as Wt. %, normal load, size...

ABSTRACTThis research integrates machine learning (ML) and Six Sigma's Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control (DMAIC) methodology to address these issues. The study details the selection utilization of ML techniques, including Linear Regression (LR), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Decision Tree (DT), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Cluster Analysis (CA). Implemented at Innovative Plastic Manufacturing Company in Egypt, this enhances consistency plastic bottle production by addressing issues...

Abstract Joining of aluminum to copper using Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a primary manufacturing process that in most applications followed by secondary forming process. The objective this research determine the optimum rotational and traverse speeds Al-Cu Welded FSW based on formability joint. strength joined are investigated under different operating conditions. Aluminum blanks welded at three 910, 1280 1700 rpm, speeds, which 16, 29 44 mm/min. base metal used study (Al-1050) two...

The aim of this research is to investigate experimentally and theoretically the parameters affecting on deformation internally-spline sleeves manufactured by ball spinning tool. Internally-spline have an increased attention since these parts serve as power transmission means in many industrial applications. process was investigated for commercial Aluminum tubes. variables were: rotational speed mandrel 76, 150, 230 305 rpm; axial feed, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 1.21 mm/ rev; cross in-feed 1.5, 2, 2.5 3...

The mechanical properties as well microstructure of the ductile cast iron (DCI) are most likely affected by heat treatments. In this work, different treated DCI alloy were investigated. Two treatment (HT) processes conducted for DCI; austempering and quenching followed lower tempering. melted was poured in Y-block, from which specimens tests prepared. Experimental carried out to investigate effect these HT on properties. A comparison between due presented discussed. results showed that there...

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is an effective maintenance strategy and a powerful tool for industrial system enhancement. In this paper, Framework of RCM proposed. Made Simple approach adopted instead classical to overcome its complexity. A comprehensive analysis carried out using the proposed which generates plane systems. This applied on real case study. The results revealed component could be critical, potentially commitment, or run failure. Moreover, it presented function each...

Die-set is an essential tool accessory in sheet metal punching and blanking. The selection of the die-set represents important activity die design operation. Time money consumed this operation could be saved by using automated system for components. This paper discusses intelligent AutoCAD platform. developed able to work as either standalone or connected with any CAD well-known programming tools. proposed built IF-THEN rules approach. code Visual Basic. A data-base Nasr Automotive Company...

The aim of this work is to develop an integrated system for facilitating the process designing drawing dies and their component. developed based on integration between Computer Aided Process Planning in Sheet Metal Drawn parts “CAPP”, Design Deep Drawing Die components “CAD”. Both modules are coded using Visual Basic program joined with AutoCAD. CAPP module made report load plot shape drawn shell each stage Axis-Symmetric process. Based reported geometry, dimensions die calculated...

Die-Set is one of the Punching/Blanking die components. It includes lower and upper shoes, guide posts bushes. The High demand in industry resulted supply specified set from many manufacturing companies. standard components market cover only small medium sizes. In cases, designers need to build their own die-sets especially case progressive design non-tradition this paper, a CAD system for building discussed. This built using Visual Basic (VB) interfacing with AutoCAD. covers all Die-Sets...
