INTERFACIAL BONDING MECHANISM AND LENGTH EVALUATION METHOD OF THE LONGITUDINAL WELDS IN THE UNSTEADY DEFORMATION PROCESS OF PORTHOLE DIE EXTRUSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOY PROFILES

Interfacial bonding mechanism and length evaluation method of the longitudinal welds in the unsteady deformation process of porthole die extrusion of aluminum alloy profiles

In this work, a porthole die extrusion experiment was carried out on an aluminum alloy profile used for air-conditioning refrigerator ice box.Microstructural characterization and mechanical property tests were performed at different positions of a longitudinal weld in the profile head.The results indicated that, from the unsteady to steady extrusio

The effects of different artificial light wavelengths on some behavioural features of juvenile pelagic Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Carangidae)

Background.Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758), is among bento-pelagic species subject to discard within deep-water rose shrimp fisheries, and how such species would react to light wavelength is therefore important, to be consistent with the Common Fishery Policy (CFP).Despite the existing literature currently available, t

Military environmental exposures and risk of breast cancer in active-duty personnel and veterans: a scoping review

BackgroundThe effects of military environmental exposures (MEE) such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), tactile herbicides, airborne hazards and open burn pits (AHOBP), and depleted uranium on health are salient concerns for service members and Veterans.However, little work has been done to investigate the
