A significant reduction in the punch ejection load was observed along with a reduction in material pickup on the punch and galling on the surface of the part.
Compared to commercial Grade 45 concrete, the proposed green structural concrete shows a reduction in CO2 emission of around 70%, a reduction in embodied energy of more than 60%, and a reduction in material cost of 15%.
Under both dry erosion and slurry erosion, Tungsten Carbide with a Cobalt binder proved an effective protective coating by exhibiting a reduction in material loss over other assessed coatings.
This was the impetus for researchers to find an alternative material, which could match semiconductor-based sensors in terms of performance with a reduction in material and fabrication cost.
The B1 scenario assumes a highly convergent world with moderate population growth (as with A1), a reduction in material intensity, and the introduction of clean and resource-efficient technologies.
Project Lightweight offered cost savings through a reduction in raw materials costs.
Zinc loss caused a reduction in the materials permeability but was shown to have no effect on resistivity.
A reduction in silicon material consumption in the photovoltaic industry is required for cost reduction.
The lower cohesive strength at high hydrogen concentrations results in reduced dislocation activity around the crack tip and a reduction in the material toughness.
Systematic studies demonstrate that proper insertion of nickelocene into a polyimide backbone can give rise to a reduction in the material's dielectric constant.
