The aqueous corrosion resistances of galvalume (FeAl+Zn) and steel galvanized (Fe-Zn) alloys, passivated by immersion in chromating solution with different immersion times (0, 10, 30 y 60 s) are compared. The electrochemical behaviour of various chromated and non-chromated coatings was investigated in 3 wt-% NaCl solution using polarization techniques. For comparison, AISI 1010 carbon steel sub...

Forming limit curves (FLC) of deep drawing steel sheets have been determined experimentally and calculated on the base of the material tensile properties following the Hill, Swift, Marciniak-Kuczyński and Sing-Rao methods. Only the FLC modeled from a singly linear forming limit stress curve exhibits good consistence with experimental curve. It was established that a linearized limit stress locu...

Electromagnetic forces on three-phase five-wire (3P5W) busbar system is investigated under three-phase shortcircuits current. The conductor busbar placed in compact galvanized steel enclosure is in the rectangular shape. Transient analysis from Opera-2D is carried out to develop the model of three-phase shortcircuits current in the system. The result of the simulation is compared with the calcu...

in this research, an apparatus was made and utilized to determine the friction coeffi-cient of chickpea grains on steel surfaces. experiments were carried out on two black and galvanized surfaces and at four sliding velocities of 5, 20, 100 and 500 mm/min, at three moisture content of 7.5%, 15% and 21% wet basis (w.b.) and at three vertical pressure values of 14.28, 100 and 150 kpa. the followi...

In the study, effects of welding parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties electrical resistance spot welded TBF/DP600 steel sheets 1.2 mm thickness were investigated. TBF used in study was both with without electro-galvanized. Microhardness measurements tensile shear tests taken as basis determining properties, while optical microscope for microstructural characterization. The nug...
