Introduction In the 1970s, exterior bonded steel reinforcement was used sporadically to reinforce bridges to attain higher service load capacities. This steel post-strengthening system consisted of steel straps bonded with epoxies to the exterior of concrete beams. An alternative to the steel retrofit is woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric applied in the same manner as steel. Carbon fi...

The present work has as main aim to make a small introduction about the types of steels, specially the ones used in the construction industry. This material is appreciated in construction due to its many advantages as strengths, resistance, adaptability and flexibility in design, durability, recyclability,...; even thou its also has week points like a low resistance to fire, weak against corros...

This investigation is concerned to evaluate the influence of heat treatment on mechanical behavior of AISI1040 steel; it is one of the grades of medium carbon steel of American standard containing 0.40% carbon in its composition. Specimen of quenched/hardened AISI1040 steel was tempered at temperature (650,450&250°C) for 60, 90&120 minutes to modify desired properties. The mechanical behavior, ...

advanced high strength steels (ahss) have recently attracted great attention because of their superior mechanical properties. a modern group of these steels, known as twinning induced plasticity (twip) steels, shows a unique combination of strength and ductility even at high rates of strain. in order to examine the functionality of such steels in dynamic loading conditions, their mechanical beh...

Structural steels with very high strength levels are often referred to as ultrahigh-strength steels (UHSS). The usage of UHSS has been extensively studied in aerospace industries and offshore platforms. In this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (AMS6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. A novel themomechanical ...

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,...

nowadays, magnesia carbon refractories are very important for the iron and steel industries. it is dueto their unique properties, such as low wet ability with melt iron and steel. therefore, it is importantto extend the life of the refractory. in this research, the effect of calcined alumina and nano carbon onmechanical strength and corrosion resistance against slag in magnesia carbon refractor...

Investigations were carried out to study the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of rolled medium carbon steel. The steel was heated to the austenizing temperature of 830C and water quenched; It was reheated to the ferrite – austenite two phase region at a temperature of 745C below the effective Ac3 point. The steel was then rapidly quenched in water and tempered at 480C to p...

The mechanical properties of medium carbon steel (0.36C) were investigated under two different quenching media (water and palm oil). The properties are: the strengths, impact and hardness of the material. The investigations centered on unheat treated, normalized; water and palm oil quenched, and tempered conditions. The tempering temperature is 200°C. An AISI steel of grade C1035 was used for c...
