In this study, the effects of nitrogen addition on the production of ultrafine/nano grained AISI 201L stainless steel by advanced thermo-mechanical process were investigated. Cast samples were first homogenized at 1200 °C for 4 h, hot-rolled at 1100 °C and finally, solution-annealed at 1150 °C for 2.5 h. Unidirectional and cross multipass cold rolling at 25 °C was carried out to 90% reduction i...

The aim of the present study is the prediction of critical conditions (including critical strain and flow stress) for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization during thermo-mechanical processing of plain carbon steels. For this propose, torsion tests were conducted at different temperature (1050, 1100 and 1150˚C) and strain rates (0.002, 0.02 and 0.2/s). All flow curves showed a peak st...

The hot deformation behavior of a typical martensitic stainless steel containing 2.1% Ni was investigated by means of the compression test in the strain rate range of 0.001-1 s-1 and temperature range of 950-1150 °C. The flow behavior of the steel was evaluated using the flow stress curves and flow softening map and by microstructural investigation. Taking into account of the strain effect on t...

Among the titanium alloys, Ti-6Al-4V is the most widely used. In the present work, the uniaxial hot compressive behavior of Ti-6Al-4V has been investigated under constant strain rates. A series of dilatometery experiments were carried out to determine the transformation temperatures at different cooling rates. Specimens were homogenized at 1050 °C for 10 minutes followed by fast cooling to dif...

abstract introduction: heat stress risk assessment, as a harmful agent at workplace, is essential for controlling heat strain and heat stress effectively. this study is concerned with the relationship between physiological strain index (psi) and wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) in women in the climate chamber . methods: this experimental study was carried out on 36 healthy females in sit...

in this work dynamic recrystallization behavior of aisi 403 martensitic stainless steel was studied using hot compression tests over temperature range of 900 c -1200 c and strain rate range of 0.001 s-1 - 1 s-1. the obtained flow curves showed that the hot compression behavior of the alloy is controlled by dynamic recrystallization. the flow stress and strain corresponding to the critical, pe...

materials and methods the l. tropica strain was attenuated using continuous passaging 20 times. the infectivity of l. tropica was confirmed in balb/c mice. the l. tropica resistant strain was produced in vitro using a continuous increase in drug pressure. the cross resistance of l. tropica to other drugs was also investigated. results after 20 continuous passages, the balb/c mice tested negativ...
