Abstract:

A process for milling corn comprises mixing water and corn kernels to provide a tempering mixture; holding the tempering mixture for a time and temperature effective for lifting hull off from the endosperm of the corn kernels, but a time and temperature which is not effective for moisture to substantially penetrate into the endosperm of the corn kernels; and abrasively removing germ and bran from the moistened tempered corn of the corn kernels. In one embodiment, whole corn kernels are separated into large kernel and small corn components and the large and small corn components are milled separately.

Abstract:

A metal powder slip composition includes a metal powder, a polycarbonate binder, and a liquid carrier. The slip composition can be debound after slip casting without generating residual carbon. The slip composition can be formed into a porous metal layer on a porous substrate object, the porous metal layer having low residual carbon content, without requiring a step of removing residual carbon. A corresponding method of making a porous metal layer is also provided.
