Vacuum‐Formed Composites Based on a Polyolefin and a High Content of Biomass‐Waste Fillers

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
It is shown here that by the use of a very ductile polymer matrix, it is possible to vacuum‐form products that contain up to 25% of hard biofillers with still ductile properties. The results are promising and opens up for the use of engineered biocomposites derived from industrial side‐stream biofillers in vacuum‐formed products. A strategy to increase

Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of a Hard Anodic Coating Applied on an Elastically Prestrained Aluminum Substrate

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Prestraining the substrate influences coating formation process. Higher prestraining force leads to higher coating thickness and lower hardness. Increase in prestraining force enhances preliminary damage in hard anodic coating. Fatigue damage mechanisms change for hard anodized prestrained samples.

Titanium‐S23: A New Alloy with Ultra‐High Tensile Toughness Directly from the Solid‐State Processing of Recycled Ti–6Al–4V and Ti–5Al–5Mo–5V–3Cr Powders using Field Assisted Sintering Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores combining two existing aerospace titanium alloy powders, processing them via field‐assisted sintering technology and the subsequent discovery of a novel alloy composition, termed S23, with ultra‐high tensile toughness. Fine‐scale alpha precipitates favorably form in the alloy despite the relatively slow cooling, providing an ...

New Developments in the Field of Production and Application of Multi‐Material Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Components: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The utilization of direct energy deposition (DED)‐arc additive manufacturing processes in industrial applications is increasing, and these processes have the potential for multi‐material applications. This work provides a overview of the state of research in DED‐arc made functional graded structures, to establish a link to potential industrial ...

A study of four listed micro finance institutions

open access: yes, 2012
Compared to the size of the microfinance market, the number of Microfinance Institutions that are professionally ran like commercial banks is still scarce, and even more scarce are the MFI listed in public stock exchanges. This document focuses on four listed MFIs and reviews its business model and funding sources. The document also analyses the market
