The evaluation of the probabilistic sensitivities showed that: the elastic modulus is the most important factor affecting the column reliability, and the reliability of column can be improved by decreasing the dispersion of the property parameters of the material.
As the main influence component of groove milling machine’s stiffness, which can directly affects the performance of the rotor slot milling machine.
According to the stress strength interference theory, the limit state function is defined as follow[4]: (1) Using Z (X) <0 as failure criterion, the random input vector X= (X1, X2, X3,... , Xn) is a characterization for analysis model in all uncertain factors, such as geometry, material parameters, load probability distribution.
(2) The sensitivity analysis of the wheel groove milling machine column's maximum deformation showed that the elastic modulus is the most influential factor on the column's deformation, and the loads on the y-axis comes the second, and the column height is last.

The objective of this work is to find methods to improve these texture-related properties and the cold forming ability of magnesium sheets.
Secondly, a new thermo-mechanical magnesium strip treatment has been developed in order to completely disintegrate the basal texture and intentionally generate only non-basal orientations with high Schmid-factors for the easy-to-activate basal slip systems.
Despite the high weight reduction potential and the advantageous properties, however, the proportion of wrought alloys in annual production is quiet low.
Consequently, at least half of the sheet volume will be affected.
Fig. 6 Development of mechanical properties for different strip treatments Conventionally rolled sheet Sheet after Texture-optimized rolling and Roll-Bending Fig. 7 Result of deep drawing tests at room temperature (drawing until first appearance of cracks) Conclusion Aiming at a reduction of the disadvantageously affected basal texture in rolled magnesium sheets and strips several rolling strategies were investigated and a new strip post treatment was developed.

Investigation of Tribological Properties of AlMg4,5Mn0,7 in a Warm Forming Process Using the Barrel Compression Test Benedikt Müller1,a*, Stephan F.
Forming is mostly characterized by an intense mechanical contact between tool and workpiece caused by high loads.
Friction affects surface quality, the final shape of the workpiece and tool wear.
Friction-affecting parameters, like cylinder size, forming degree and lubrication, were varied in the experiments and are listed in Table 1.

SEM scanning were carried out to determine the mechanical properties and microstructure of the composite.
The microstructure and mechanical properties were then analyzed.
Powder metallurgy processes, in general, can produce porosity in metal, affecting the physical and mechanical properties.
The volume fraction of magnesium affects the physical properties (density and porosity) as well as the mechanical properties (microhardness and wear rate), where the addition of magnesium from 1% to 1.5% can increase the relative density and microhardness and reduce porosity and wear rate.

On the foundation of researching adhesion mechanism of superalloy honing stone, theoretical analysis and mathematical modeling of parameters were made that affecting the wear particle adhesion rate of superalloy honing stone, then inspect and verify the relation between the adhesion rate and processing parameters through the experiment.
For mechanical properties such as good high temperature plastic and low thermal conductivity, in early grinding , namely happens that the abrasive particles or the surface adheres to the superalloy material, the adhesion covers the oilstone effective grinding surface, which leads to a partial or full loss of cutting ability, and serious adhesion may result in the abrasive particles blunting, grinding force and temperature increasing, then oilstones lose cutting ability quickly, which will greatly reduce the grinding efficiency.
The oilstone adhesion is the result of a comprehensive action of many factors, so the adhesion rate is a function of multiple-factor.
In order to discuss the relationship between the adhesion mechanism and the adhesion rate as well as the influencing factors, it is crucial to build the mathematical model of the oilstone adhesion rate.
It reflects the influence on the adhesion rate related to the physical and mechanical properties of superalloy, the grinding characteristics of oilstones and honing parameters.

Noise can be source of risk of workplace accidents, work-related stress and combined with other risk factors at the work place can damage health in both the long and short term.
Alain Finkielkraut Noise in one of the physical environmental factors affecting our health in today’s world.
Noise in generally defined as the unpleasant sounds which disturb the human being physically and physiologically and cause environmental pollution by destroying environmental properties [10].
- Work-related stress: Work-related stress rarely has a single cause, and usually arises from an interaction of several risk factors.
Work-related stress (in which noise may be a factor) can compound this problem [7].
