Study on the Influence of Mandrel Speed on the Titanium Tube Continuous Retained-Mandrel Rolling Process by Chao Li, Yuanhua Shuang, Jianxun Chen, Tao Wu

“…This paper thoroughly examines the influence of mandrel velocity on the deformation characteristics at the groove vertex using three approaches: numerical simulation, shear-deformation observation experiments, and microstructure analysis. The following conclusions are drawn: Decreasing the mandrel velocity enhances the penetration of shear deformation into the inner wall of the titanium tube, improves thickness uniformity, and shifts the deformation mechanism near the inner wall from twinning to dislocation slip. …”

Enhancing 3D printing performance of O/W emulsions with asparagus fibre by Yifeng Lu, Maarten A.I. Schutyser, Lu Zhang

“…Interestingly, reducing the oil volume fraction from 72 to 66 %v/v (i.e., fibre concentration was kept at 9.9 %w/w) did not detrimentally influence the 3D printing quality. Microstructural analysis of the emulsions revealed that increasing fibre concentration led to smaller size and different surface morphology of the oil droplets. …”
