Sticking and picking during tablet manufacture has received increasing interest recently, as
it causes tablet defects, downtime in manufacturing, and yield losses. The capricious nature …

The poor wettability of alumina surface greatly limits the interface binding between alumina
and iron in alumina reinforced iron matrix composites. In this work, the active elements (Ti …

Appropriate lubrication is important in tablet manufacturing as it lowers punch sticking
propensity and protects tooling by reducing friction between die wall and tablet during tablet …

MgO-doped partially stabilized zirconia is a complex ceramic electrolyte in which all
properties, phase composition, and microstructure are strongly influenced by thermal history …

Lubricants are important for both preserving the tooling of high-speed tablet presses and
attaining quality tablets. Magnesium stearate (MgSt) is most commonly used due to its …

The discrete element method (DEM) based simulations were conducted to study the effects
of particle-particle and particle-wall frictions on the compaction behaviour of wet particles …

Three-dimensional tomography was performed on hydrothermal degraded zirconia by
sequential focussed ion beam (FIB) sectioning and field emission scanning electron …

The objective of this study was to investigate the lubrication properties of hexagonal boron
nitride (HBN) as a new tablet lubricant and compare it with conventional lubricants such as …

Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) were produced by activated pressureless infiltration of
porous Al2O3 compacts with the presence of elemental titanium as an activator and steel …

Large plates and discs of X38CrMoV5-1/Al2O3 metal matrix composites (MMCs) were
produced via Ti-activated pressureless melt infiltration. After machining the plates were …
