Chemical Synthesis and Industrial Applications of Catechu
Abstract: Kattha is acquired by crystallization in cold from the water extractives of the heartwood of Acacia catechu. The main constituents of the red heartwood are catechin and catechu tannic acid along with small proportion of brown coloring matter. It also contains tannin, flavotannin, gallotannin, hloratannin etc. (+)-Catechin is a constituent, which decreases the action of some hormones; hence “tyronorman” injected with thyroxin terminates the upsurge in basal metabolism. It has …

Analytical Study of Ceramic Compositions: Lamination and Fracture Toughness
Abstract: This study investigates the characteristics and fabrication techniques of laminated ceramic composites, focusing on various glass-ceramic systems, including alumina, BaTiO3/Al2O3, and LiO2‐ZrO2‐SiO2‐Al2O3 (LZSA). The inherent brittleness of ceramics, attributed to surface flaws and their limited toughness, necessitates the development of layered structures to enhance mechanical reliability. Layered ceramics demonstrate improved fracture toughness, crucial for applications in aerospace, biomedicine, and military armor. Techniques such as tape casting, electrophoretic deposition, and advanced …

Optimisation of Ratio of Center Distance of Adjacent Hole to Diameter of Pre-stressed Holes by FEA
Abstract: Residual compressive stress zone around a fastener hole is introduced by a process called pre-stressing. This is being done to reduce adverse effect of cyclic tensile stress and to restrict the fatigue crack growth due to material flaws or imperfect surfaces. The objective of this investigation is to optimize the inter-hole distance between adjacent cold expanded holes on a plate restricting the deformation of material between holes to the elastic …

Study of Microstructure and corrosion effects of precipitation hardened high strength AA-7xxx aluminium alloy subjected to cryo rolling
Abstract: The strength and life of an alloy is the primary parameter taken into consideration while building hulls and superstructures for marine applications. Usually AA-7xxx is widely used for these applications and hence is chosen for the present investigation. Cast AA-7xxx alloy reveals distribution of soluble intermetallic compounds in the α-aluminium matrix. In order to improve the mechanical properties and condition the microstructural features, precipitation hardening (solutionizing and ageing) treatment was …
