This study investigates the strain localizations associated with Lüders deformation in mild steel using digital image correlation (DIC), a non contact, nondestructive, full field measurement technique for strain mapping. The focus is on the two substantial areas of interest such as shear deformation accompanying strain localization during Lüders instability and the complex morphology of Lüders ...

A new curcumin derivative, i.e., (1E,4Z,6E)-5-chloro-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one (chlorocurcumin), was prepared starting with the natural compound curcumin. The newly synthesized compound was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, ¹H-NMR and 13C-NMR). The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl by chlorocurcumin has been studied using p...

The corrosion and protection behaviour of mild steel embedded in concrete, and partially immersed in 3.5% sodium chloride solution, was studied in this investigation at ambient temperature by potential monitoring technique. The work was performed with a digital multimeter and a Cu/CuSO4 electrode (CSE) as the reference electrode. Extracts of pawpaw (carica papaya) leaves and sodium nitrite in d...

Electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solution using as additive, different concentrations of ananas comosus (pineapple) juice extracts, was investigated. Different additive concentrations, plating time, and constant pH conditions were used for the experiments. The electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel was performed using a DC – supply. The surface of the plated steel was e...

Mild Steel and their products are main raw material for a strong infrastructure for every country which is the main demand in the race of survival, stabilization, growth and competition for every country. Industrialization and modernization in now a days has made a strong demand of steel and their maintenance but atmospheric corrosion can aggressively accelerate the degradation of metals during...

Impact problems are typical in nature since they involve geometry, boundary and material non-linearity. The impact of projectiles at sub-ordnance velocities against mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum plates has been studied. In this paper, target plates of 3mm thickness of materials Mild steel, Titanium are made to impact by Tungsten fragment with different velocities 300, 500, 700 and 10...

The inhibition effect of imidazole derivatives 4-methyl-2-propyl-1H-benzimidazole-6-carboxylic acid (MPBI) and 1,4'-Dimethyl-2'-propyl-1H,3'H-2,5'-dibenzimidazole (DPBI) against mild steel corrosion in 1 N HCl solutions were evaluated using conventional weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The weight loss results showed that ...
