Abstract: A method for heat treating an additively manufactured A205 aluminum alloy component (“AM205 component”) to produce a uniform grain distribution within the AM205 component is disclosed. The method includes solution aging the AM205 component at a first temperature for a first time period, wherein the first time period is less than five hours and overaging the AM205 component after the solution aging.

Abstract: The present application relates to a thermoplastic graft copolymer including one or more thermoplastic polymers of formula (I): and a branched chain thermoplastic polymer of formula (II): where R1, R1?, R2, R2?, R3, R4, R4?, AETAG, a, b, c, e, f, g, h, i, and j are as described herein. Also disclosed is the process for preparing the thermoplastic copolymer and its uses.

Abstract: A custom front-end for order entry and pricing with straight-forward integration to a conventional enterprise resource planning (ERP) system allows integration between the custom front-end and the existing ERP system in a straightforward manner without the need to modify the ERP system source code or other functionality. Order-specific data is stored in custom tables created under the ERP database while using standard ERP application classification for maintaining the link to the ERP object and the custom configuration. Custom function modules enable the dynamic transfer of data between the order specific data and the native ERP variant configuration module. The tables provide a middle ground between the ERP application and any number of custom front end interfaces such as web-based applications accessible via intranets and/or the Internet.
