PARALLEL BETWEEN OBTAINING BARIUM TITANATE BY SOLID-STATE REACTION AND BY PRECIPITATION METHODS (2nd Part)

» Abstract. This paper presents the experimental results of obtaining insulating barium titanate by two methods: the solid – state reaction method and the precipitation method. There are presented the technological routes corresponding to these two methods by which the material is processed. The material obtained by these two methods is characterized by derivatographic analysis (ATD, TG, DTG, T), microstructural analysis by X-Ray diffractometry (XRD), optics microscopy. The application of this material is very large in electronic industry for obtaining passive electronic components thus: as insulating is used in disks ceramic capacitors and multi-layer capacitors (MLCC), piezoelectric devices manufacture and as semiconductor (controlled doped barium titanate) in PTC thermistors manufacture.

ANALYTICAL APPROXIMATION OF THE ELASTIC STRAINS OF THE LATHE FRAMES

» Abstract. This paper proposes a way of analytical deduction of the elastic strains that can occur during the splintering process at normal lathes, mostly for intense processing duties. The knowledge of these strains for various splintering forces is particularly useful mainly in case of the adaptive control setting up and usage. The elastic strain has been highlighted in this paper by using the method of the finite element. The subsequent deduction of an analytical law for this strain, as well, is possible by using the polynomial regression method. The analytical law thus obtained, as function of the length, can be used as reference quantity for the adaptive control.

MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS OF SOME INVESTMENTS IN ROMANIAN TOURISM

» Abstract. The paper discusses a development strategy of Romanian tourism in the European context based on the construction of major tourist objectives. A number of seven such objectives are analyzed and the most investment-eligible one is established from the viewpoint of economic performance. The applied method is that of advanced multi-criteria analysis. The criteria underlying the analysis are established and their corresponding weighting coefficients computed. Finally the total value coefficients of performance are computed for all considered objectives, allowing their hierarchy.

RAPID ELECTRODE MANUFACTURE USING STEREOLITHOGRAPHY MODELS - A STATE OF THE ART

» Abstract. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non-conventional process for the manufacture of complex or hard material parts that are difficult to machine by conventional machining processes. During EDM, the electrode shape is mirrored in the workpiece. As a result, problems are transferred on the electrode manufacturing process. In order to reduce the product development time and the cost of tooling, layered manufacturing techniques were developed commonly known as rapid prototyping technology. This technology encompasses a group of manufacturing techniques, in which adding the material layer-by-layer generates the shape of the physical part. Rapid tooling is a progression from rapid prototyping. It is the ability to build prototype tools directly, as opposed to prototype products directly from the CAD model, resulting in compressed time to market solutions. The various methods of manufacturing RT electrodes, using Stereolithography (SL) models, with respect to supplementary processes, are classified in the present work. Recent international research work is reviewed and the results on the performance of RT electrodes are tabulated.

MOLYBDENUM IN STAINLESS STEELS

» Abstract. The corrosion resistance of the stainless steels is directly influenced by the chemical composition and metallographic structure obtained by heat treatments and eventually cold–working plastic deformations. The present paper presents the in-house stainless steels alloyed with molybdenum and there are given relations for calculating the influence of the molybdenum over the martensitic transformation temperature Md and corrosion resistance.

MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ATTENUATION IN NANOMATERIALS

» Abstract. This paper presents number of measurement systems and experimental methods for the investigation of nanomaterials behavior inside electromagnetic field (EMF). Measurements were aimed at determining the attenuation of electromagnetic field in nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are new materials obtained by specific industrial processes of mixing and combining different types of materials. Knowing the characteristics and the behavior of nanomaterials inside different media creates wide opportunities for a variety of industrial applications. The measurements systems and methods presented in this paper were developed in order to investigate nanomaterials behavior relative to the influence of electromagnetic fields of different frequencies within a wide spectrum ranging from several tens of MHz up to tens / hundreds of GHz. This paper was written in the framework of the 429/2006 CNCSIS project “Study of the shielding properties of materials obtained by nanotechnologies and nanoprocessing in order to ensure their integration in electrical and elec-tronic systems aimed at improving environment quality”.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES REGARDING WOOD COLOUR MEASUREMENT

» Abstract. The wood colour is particularly important when it comes to refining the wood of some widespread species having a high rate of growth and a high productivity of wooden mass, such as the poplar wood. The paper presents an original method of measuring the wood colour by virtue of CorelDRAW. The experiments have been made on poplar wood samples, which have been scanned and examined as regards the colour by means of a PC-scanner-screen assembly. One of the advantages of this method is that one can determine the colour for small surfaces (1×1 pixels; 2×2 pixels and 5×5 pixels). This means that the errors resulted after measuring the colour for larger surfaces (when an average of the surface colour is made) are removed.

RESEARCH OF EFFECTIVENESS OF ASSEMBLY DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF SCREW GRADIENT IN RELATION TO THE AXIS OF THE HOLE IN THE PROCESS OF AUTOMATIC SCREW DRIVING

» Abstract. The process ‘automatic screw driving’ is one of the most difficult and at the same time very spread because of the advantages of the threaded joints. A basic characteristic feature of the precision of the assembly process according to the classical understandings is the error in the relative disposition of the parts at the moment, right before starting the assembly – the displacement of the axes of the screw and the hole, as well as the angle of the screw gradient in relation to the hole. In the present work is described a method about measuring the angle of the screw gradient during gradually changing the displacement of the axes of the assembly parts. The results from the carried out works on a specialized device are given. The got experimental data are analyzed by a statistics program.
