This study examined the electrical and self-sensing capacities of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with and without carbon nanotubes (CNTs). For this, the effects of steel fiber content, orientation, and pore water content on the electrical and piezoresistive properties of UHPFRC without CNTs were first evaluated. Then, the effect of CNT content on the self-sensing capa...

An electroless plating of Co-Ni-P was applied to a grain-oriented electrical steel substrate resulting in a power loss improvement of approximately 9-11 %. The mean thickness of the coating was found to be 2.15±0.15 μm from Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) images. Shifts of the magnetostriction stress sensitivity curves showed that stress was acting on the substrate corroborate...

The effect of Co–P-CNT coating on the magnetic properties of grain oriented electrical steel was investigated. To analyse the coating, Raman spectroscopy, Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID), single strip testing, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and talysurf surface profilometry were performed. Raman spectra showed the D and G band which corroborates the presence of Multi-Wal...
