To get suitable ladle slag which can avoid slag sticking onto the RH immersion tube during RH refining process of IF steel, the effect of composition on melting point and viscosity of RH refining ladle slag was studied by different additives which is based on CaO. The results of melting point and viscosity testing experiments indicates that, the melting point and viscosity of RH refining ladle ...

This paper studies the acoustic backscattering of short ultrasonic pulses by air-filled stainless steel-solid polymer two-layer cylindrical tubes immersed in water. The stainless steel one-layer tube is taken as a reference. The focus of this paper is on revealing the effects of physical characteristics of the solid polymer on the scattering phenomenon. The work is done from the calculation of ...

An electric charge-tunable micro-column (CTMC) was developed as a precolumn for reversed-phase capillary chromatography using conductive carbon fibers as the stationary phase. The carbon fibers, which constitute one electrode, are packed into a heat-shrinkable tube, which is attached to a stainless-steel column body. The mobile phase flows into CTMC through a stainless-steel tube that acts as...

FBG sensors offer many advantages, such as a lack of sensitivity to electromagnetic waves, small size, high durability, and high sensitivity. However, their maximum strain measurement range is lower than the yield strain range (about 1.0%) of steel strands when embedded in steel strands. This study proposes a new FBG sensing technique in which an FBG sensor is recoated with polyimide and protec...

Shock propagation through a bubbly liquid filled in a deformable cylindrical tube is considered. Quasi-onedimensional bubbly flow equations that include fluid-structure interaction are formulated, and the steady shock relations are derived. Experiments are conducted in which a free-falling steel projectile impacts the top of an air/water mixture in a polycarbonate tube, and stress waves in the ...

It is well known that the cold-forming process used to manufacture tubes causes an increase in both the yielding stress and the ultimate strength of the corner material in rectangular steel hollow sections. This may have a significant effect on the resistance of any structure built with those profiles. However, the mentioned material hardening can be difficult to take into account in the calcul...

A significant amount of research has been conducted worldwide on the behavior of concrete filled steel tubes (CFTs) in the past five decades. This report provides a summary of the behavior and experimental work of concrete filled steel tube members, connections, and frames that are reported in detail in the literature. These published studies have been summarized with an emphasis on experimenta...

This paper describes the computations of micro-strains at inner corner of cold formed rectangular hollow sections (CFRHS) made up of structural steels using finite element analysis. In order to obtain the micro-strains, distortion test is simulated by modeling two-dimensional structural steel tubes in ANSYS software. Two dimensional linear static analyses are performed by defining elastic prope...

Industrial CT (computerized tomography) uses a series of 2-dimensional images taken at specific intervals around the entire sample. Basically any type of industrial CT system uses three principal components: an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, and a rotational stage. Everything is enclosed within a radiation shielding steel/lead/steel cabinet that typically ranges between four and 10 feet cubed. ...
