In the second part, the parameters which can influence the quality of pellets including formulation(moisture content, granulating liquid,excipients, and drugs), equipment(mixer, extruder, friction plate, and extrusion screen) and process(extrusion speed, extrusion temperature, spheronizer load, spheronization time,spheronization speed, and drying method) are discussed. In the final part, methods available for characterization(particle size distribution, surface area, shape and sphericity, porosity,density, hardness and friability, flow properties, disintegration, and dissolution) of the pellets are explained.展开更多

The mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and the compressed creep behaviour of the alloy were studied. The results indicate that the Conform process induces obvious grain refinement, strain-induced precipitation of AI7CuzFe phase and the transformation of crystal orientation distribution. The processed alloy has good comprehensive mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. Moreover, a better creep resistance under the conditions of 90 ~C and 76 MPa is shown compared with pure A1 and annealed copper, and the relationship between primary creep strain and time may comply with the logarithmic law. The enhanced properties are attributed to the grain refinement as well as the fine and homogeneously distributed thermally stable A1Fe and A17Cu2Fe precipitation phases.展开更多

The microstrueture, morphology and phase compositions of the substrate and coat- ing are investigated by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) , scanning electron microsopy (SEM) and energy dis- persive spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, the microhardness of the substrate and the coating are investigated using Vickers mierohardness tester, the friction and wear behaviors of the substrate and the coating are investigated by using a block-on-ring tribometer under dry sliding conditions with the load of 245 N. The results show that both γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 phases are observed in the as-sprayed coatings, the mian phase is γ-Al2O3. There are white particulates Al2O3 on its surface. The Al2O3-13 wt. % TiO2 coating possesses higher mierohardness which is about 1018HV and 1.6 times that of the substrate. The wear performance of coating is better than that of the substrate. In a practical application, the life of the extrusion wheel which is plasma sprayed Al2O3-13 wt. % TiO2 coating on the surface is 1.2 times that of the conventional extrusion wheel, and the life is about 330 h.展开更多
