A TRADE-OFF BETWEEN MECHANICAL STRENGTH AND EROSIVE WEAR RESISTANCE IN ALSI12CUMGNI ALLOY USED TO MANUFACTURE FAN BLADES FOR UNDERGROUND MINES

A Trade-Off between Mechanical Strength and Erosive Wear Resistance in AlSi12CuMgNi Alloy Used to Manufacture Fan Blades for Underground Mines

The axial fan blades used in underground mines are usually manufactured in AlSi12CuMgNi alloy (EN AC 48000).They must have a high mechanical strength to withstand the stresses resulting from the rotation speed of the rotor and a high resistance to erosive wear caused by suspended particles from underground mining and transport operations.The aim of

Using an analysis of concrete and cement epd: verification, selection, assessment, benchmarking and target setting

Carbonation of concretes is a natural physico-chemical process that can be described as a reaction between the carbon dioxide contained in the air and the cement matrix.Carbonation concerns all concretes types in contact with the ambient air but also concretes in ground, from production stage to use and end-of-life stages.The amount of carbon dioxi

Alterations in Lower Limb Biomechanical Characteristics During the Cutting Manoeuvre in Chronic Ankle Instability Population and Copers

Understanding the lower limb biomechanical characteristics of chronic ankle instability (CAI) individuals and copers could provide the insight into the mechanism of repetitive lateral ankle sprains (LAS).Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the lower limb joint angles, joint moments, and joint stiffness among CAI, copers and healthy indiv
