in this research, tribological characteristics of ni-p electroless coating and double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating were studied. for this purpose, ni-p electroless coating with 25 μm thickness was initially applied to the surface of steel ck45 samples; then, a double-layered ni-p/ni-b electroless coating, including inner layer of ni-p with 15 μm thickness and outer layer of ni-b with 1...

-AISI D3 tool steel is a high-carbon, highchromium, oil-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous, large, chromium-rich alloy carbides in the microstructure. These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials. Typical applications for D3 tool steel include Blanking, stamping, and col...

Zinc plating is widely used to protect steels against corrosion. However, the possibility of a high environmental risk for zinc has been recently discussed among advanced countries and more environmentally-friendly substitutes are required urgently. Therefore, monitoring zinc concentration changes on metallic materials such as steel is very important. We chose to measure zinc concentration chan...

The 45-T Hybrid magnet will employ Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC) technology for the windings of the Nb3Sn and NbTi coils. The conduit steel must retain high strength and fracture toughness at 4 K, following the Nb3Sn reaction heat treatment. The design requirements call for a 4 K yield strength exceeding 1000 MPa and a 4 K fracture toughness (KIc) greater than 110 MPa m -0.5. We report the ...

V. Marušić, I. Samardžić, I. Opačak. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Slavonski Brod University of Osijek, Croatia. The research investigated properties of aluminum bronze welded to structural steel St 52-3 N. Surface material CuAl-A3 was welded in one and two layers. There were dimension, metallographic examination of structures and hardness measured before and after heat treatment and aft...

This research comprises a study of the effect of heat treatment on fatigue behavior of (A193-51T-B7) alloy steel. Two heat treatment processes were conducted, namely, annealing and quenching followed by tempering at 200C. All fatigue tests were carried out using a rotary bending machine with constant stress ratio, R=-1. The eddy current probe was used to measure the crack length propagation. Fr...

Neutron diffraction was used to measure the residual stress distribution in an FeAl weld overlay on steel. It was found that the residual stresses accumulated during welding were essentially removed by the post-weld heat treatment that was applied to the specimen; most residual stresses in the specimen developed during cooling following the post-weld heat treatment. The experimental data were c...

During quenching, hot rolled steel rings, especially those with a large outer diameter to wall thickness ratio, distort and develop undesired residual stresses. These phenomena are the result of three major mechanisms: metallurgical, mechanical and thermal. This paper presents the result of a comprehensive study on the heat treatment of rings by modeling via Finite Element Analysis. The simulat...

complex heat transfer phenomena (including unsteady state conduction, convection and solidification processes) occur in steel belt conveyer sulfur granulating method. numerical simulation of this technique is performed via a comprehensive and multifaceted one dimensional model. since the air situated between the adjacent sulfur pastilles is essentially stagnant, therefore, the surface temperatu...
