A much "greener" and harmless leaching method for removing impurity aluminum further from industrial quartz sands by very dilute mixed acids has been presented. With the help of supersonic, the percentage of removal aluminum reached up to 52.5%/53%, that is, 17.4 ppm/17.7 ppm at 30 °C/80 °C, respectively. These results are 4.4/4.7 ppm lower than that supplied by a world famous quartz sands supplier, and the leaching conditions are much milder compared with other comparable methods: the concentration of hydrogen chloride in the mixed acid is only 10% of the others, the leaching temperature is much lower; at the same time, the operating time is only 13-20% of the others, thereby pollution of industrial strong acids and thermo-scattering is reduced substantially.

This study investigates the different types of ultrasonic inspection, when applied to assess the impact damage in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic CFRP laminates. The study surveys the two most used ultrasonic testing approaches first; namely the pulse-echo and the through-transmission modes. Then, the manuscript discusses and analyzes the enhanced ultrasonic testing methods that use the polar scattering, the thickness independent techniques, air-coupled, and the techniques based on the Ultrasonic Rayleigh and Lamb Waves. Additionally, presented study demonstrates some of these techniques to test a CFRP sample with embedded defects, along with the processing required for the acquired results such as the wavelet transformation.

The metal cutting burr is one of the factors that influence the edge quality and performance of precision parts.A finite element model has been established to investigate the mechanism of burr formation and limit transformation in high-speed machining 2024Aluminum alloy .The burr/fracture formation process is simulated with elastic-plastic nonlinear element method based on ABAQUS.This paper has investigated the mechanism of burr /fracture formation and the limit transformation condition of cutting-direction burrs and fractures in high-speed machining and the limit transformation condition change with the cutting condition,which lay scientific basis of further research on cutting burrs formation and its minimization and deburring technology.
