AE monitoring from various types of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has been conducted for the past 15 years in our laboratory. This paper discusses AE results of active-path dissolution-type SCC of austenitic stainless steel in chloride solution and fused salt, fluoride and polythionic acid solutions, brass in ammonia (Mattosson's solution), and carbon steels in nitrite solution. Transgranular...

When an individual loses their website and a backup cannot be found, they can download and run Warrick, a webrepository crawler which will recover their lost website by crawling the holdings of the Internet Archive and several search engine caches. Running Warrick locally requires some technical know-how, so we have created an on-line queueing system called Brass which simplifies the task of re...

This study aimed to investigate if a thermal barrier coating (TBC) affected the energy efficiency of 3D printers. In accordance with this purpose, used TBC technique is clearly explained and adapted nozzle in simulation environment. Brass, copper, hardened steel were selected be materials for nozzles. The reason usage method that are made low conductivity, which reduces conductivity losses. Ytt...
