TL;DR: In this paper, a laser-induced pre-treatment of hardenable aluminium alloys is used to reduce the material flow stress and increase the drawing ratio of AA 6181 A. The results show that after 1000h at room temperature, the microstructural changes are recovered.

TL;DR: Results of the research regarding ineffective material management confirm insufficient analytical supporting in various decisions of procurement operations and the article model of efficiency analysis system of material management is presented.
Abstract: Background: Significant scope of enterprise's efficiency management is improving of material management process both the strategic and operational level. The complexity of material flow processes can lead to a threat such as distraction and disintegration of analysis focusing on many different factors influenced on effective sourcing and procurement management, transport and warehousing processes, inventory management, working capital and cash flow management. Material and methods: The presented article focuses on multidimensional and multi-criteria analysis of material management efficiency that is considered as decision support system. Authors have presented results of the research regarding ineffective material management confirm insufficient analytical supporting in various decisions of procurement operations. Results and conclusions: Based on research results authors presented in the article model of efficiency analysis system of material management.

TL;DR: A method and apparatus for making filled products of various shapes and sizes and the products can be found in this paper, where the amount of filling material and its location within the product can be varied.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for making filled products of various shapes and sizes and the products. The products can be toroidal, rings of interconnected knobs, crescent-shaped, spherical or other shapes, each having one or more discrete spots or globs of filling material within. The filling material can be injected in any direction without the product, for example, sidewise along the midline of a toroidal product, or radial in the toroidal product. The amount of filling material and its location within the product can be varied. The filling material flow is controlled by positive and negative pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global thermal model us- ing the temperature dependent heat source and a local material flow and heat generation model allowing for detailed investigation of dierent contact conditions is presented.
Abstract: Two Friction stir welding mod- els are presented - a global thermal model us- ing the temperature dependent heat source and a local material flow and heat generation model allowing for detailed investigation of dierent contact conditions. The two models are coupled into a larger local-global model. The flow model includes frictional dissipa- tion from the contact between the workpiece and the tool as well as plastic dissipation.
