... coating to the side surfaces of the cathode. The goal of this research was to find a durable coating for this process. Epoxy resins, Teflon, and diamond-like carbon are considered as dielectric cathode coatings. Different aspects of the working environment of these coatings in the pulse bipolar ECM...

...A. L. Jeswani; J. A. Roux Complete wetout of the dry fiber reinforcement by the liquid resin depends strongly on the fiber volume fraction and the resin viscosity of the part being manufactured by rein injection pultrusion. High fiber volume fractions and high resin viscosity values yield high...

...Fabrizio Quadrini; Loredana Santo Selective laser sintering of precoated sands is a process utilized to produce molds and cores for rapid casting by adding sand layer by layer and heating it using a laser beam. During the process, the resin flows and binds the grains; subsequently, an oven is used...

...A. L. Jeswani; J. A. Roux Pultrusion, sometimes referred to as continuous resin transfer molding process, is a continuous, cost-effective method for manufacturing composite materials with constant cross sections (such as rod stock, beams, channels, and tubing). The objective of this study...
