Research Update: Benefits of Whey Protein on Muscle Whey protein is a high-quality dairy protein that contains all the amino acids the body requires for muscle protein synthesis. Evidence suggests that whey protein‚ found naturally in milk‚ increases muscle protein synthesis which in combination with resistance exercise can improve body composition. Below are summaries of recent studies that further explain the benefits of whey protein. Whey protein is one of the best sources of branched-chain

The tensile properties of representative samples from the common polymer were tested and evaluated in this experiment. This laboratory experiment is also designed to demonstrate the procedure used for obtaining mechanical properties as modulus of elasticity‚ yield strength‚ ultimate tensile strength (UTS)‚ uniform elongation‚ elongation and reduction in area at rupture. This report is based on

maximum bending stress in the shaft is less than the endurance limit of the shaft material. Hence endurance limit shall be as high as possible for better reliability. Normally endurance limit or fatigue strength is half of tensile strength. Hence if we compare SS 316L & SS 410 tensile strength‚ SS 410 has better endurance limit then SS 316L. Corrosion resistance is property to resist material corrosion. As both SS 410 & SS 316L are Stainless steel‚ both have almost similar corrosion resistivity
