Thermal Interaction Analysis Between Flexible Magnetic Abrasive Brush and Aluminium Alloy During Single-Pole MAF
Abstract: Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF) is a precision surface‐finishing approach that employs magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) within a managed magnetic field to eliminate micro-level material and enhance surface condition. In the finishing process, the friction created between the workpiece and the flexible magnetic abrasive brush (FMAB) leads to heat accumulation, which may badly affect the surface integrity. This study focuses on investigating the temperature distribution at the FMAB–workpiece interface to decrease …

Guanidine as a Starting Material for Preparing a Scale Inhibitor
Abstract: Oilfield scale inhibition, which can obstruct fluid flow in pipelines, valves, and pumps during oil production and processing, is critical for preventing scale formation. Effective scale inhibitors (SIs) minimize downtime and enhance productivity by preventing the build-up of insoluble crystals in water systems. In oil processing, scale formation results from the precipitation of salts due to incompatible aqueous phases, leading to equipment blockage. Phosphonates are highly effective chelating agents for …
