In this work, the effects of carbon content and manganese sulfide addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of copper steel parts have been studied. Steel powder mixture containing 2%Cu and different graphite contents with and without MnS additions were compacted, sintered and forged to almost full density. Forged samples, with near theoretical densities, were tested for tensile,...

design of bridge deck with long-term strength, durability and permanence is a significant interest for engineers. one applicable solution to this challenge could be via using hybrid system consisting of conventional materials such as concrete and steel with frp plates which is also known as composite deck. since these deck are relatively new so their performance is not completely known. the pre...

gas tungsten arc welding is a popular process in those applications requiring a high degree of quality andaccuracy. however, this process has a big disadvantage against the substantially high productivity weldingprocedures. hence, many efforts have been made to improve its productivity. one of these efforts is the use of activating flux (a-tig welding). in this study, the performance of a-tig w...

structural steel sections are mainly used in beams and columns of building frames. iran national steel industrialgroup is among the oldest and largest producers of beams in iran. it has two beam production lines, namely line630 and line 650. in this study, the mechanical properties of manufactured beams in these production lines werecompared. based on the t-test results, the elongation is signi...

Existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. Therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. In this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

The TiO2–SiO2 thin films were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel via sol-gel method. Then, the effect of the added amount of SiO2 on the structure, morphology and mechanical properties of the films and corrosion behavior of AISI 316L stainless steel substrate were investigated. So, X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, depth-sensing indenta...
