Kinetics of gray cast iron strengthening at room and elevated temperature (100°C, 182°C and 285°C) were studied using 100 specimens cast from one industrial heat of gray iron. Tensile strength and Brinell hardness was measured during age strengthening. Peak aging was observed at shorter times for higher temperatures and over-aging was observed at 182°C and 285°C. Statistically significant data ...

AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the surface roughness and hardness of both unbleached and bleached (opalescence; 10% carbamide peroxide) human enamel brushed with water (without dentifrice), fluoride abrasive dentifrice (Colgate Total) and whitening dentifrice (Natural White). MATERIALS AND METHODS Human enamel samples were obtained from third molars and randomly divided in...

The main task of this work was to study the influence of the cooling conditions after homogenization of the 6082 aluminium alloys. The effect of the solution heat treatment temperature on the mechanism and ageing kinetics of the two commercial wrought aluminum alloys 6005 and 6082 was also analyzed. The alloys were heat treated—T4 with a wide range of solution heat treatment temperature from 51...

Monitoring was conducted for the structural steel types used in Republic of Kazakhstan construction buildings using metal frames. For each type it first time determined hardness specification by Brinell methods. Hardness is applied to determine yield strength, breaking strength and relative deformation at rupture. These parameters are considered compliance with requirements National Annex Euroc...
