Mold powders are used as raw materials in continuous casting of steel industry; Also they are mostly composed of aluminum, calcium, silica oxides, alkaline and earth-alkaline oxides along with carbon and fluor. Two of the most important duties of mold powders are the lubrication of the space between mold walls and steel shell, and heat transfer control between steel shell and the copper mold. Fluor is one of the most important constituents of mold powders and is employed to control viscosity in order to obtain favorable lubrication and solidification temperature control in order to control heat transfer. The fluor in the mold powder is added to it with the aid of some fluorided compounds like fluorine (CaF2). This study has used Fluorine to make a powder similar to the reference sample, with the use of portland cement clinker and fluorine. Moreover, groove viscometer studies have been conducted here to compare sample viscosities to the viscosity of the reference sample. In addition XRD as well as SEM analyses were conducted. As a result, crystalline phase of cuspidine was found in the glass matrix indicating that the chemical compound in sample 1 may be a suitable substitute, as compared to the reference sample, for the mold powder used in continuous casting steel industry. تفاصيل المقالة

In this work, the strength of cold roll bond of the commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) sheet and the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on bond strength was investigated. Through the accumulative roll bonding process, which is considered among the important severe plastic deformation processes, the creation of suitable bonds plays a significance role in the ultimate strength of the bond. Thus, researchers first study the optimum bonding parameters of two or several metals producible via ARB method and, then, manufacture it. In the present work, the bond strength of the commercially pure titanium sheets was investigated and found that by applying a 50% thickness reduction a desirable bond strength is achieved based on the results of the peeling test for CP Ti. To study the effect TiO2 nanoparticles on nanocomposite preparation in ARB test, these nanoparticles were dispersed between the CP Ti sheets at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5wt% concentrations; the results show a decrease in bond strength during the peeling test by the increase in TiO2 content. The scanning electron microscopy tests of the peeled sites revealed that the presence of cumulative layers of nanoparticles prevents bonding in these areas. Although the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles results in the reduced bond strength, at TiO2 percentages, equal or less than 0.5wt.% this decrease is negligible. Hence, ARB method can be considered as an efficient technique for preparation of bulk composite at room temperature. تفاصيل المقالة

The present study develops a semi-instantaneous baseline damage identification approach to identify the delamination damage. An active sensing network with (Ba0.95Ca0.05)(Ti0.91Sn0.09)O3 (BCTS) lead-free piezoelectric transducers that were mounted on the two undamaged and damaged (with the delamination) plates. The wavelet transform was used for extracting the energy ratio change which is an effective and robust characteristic from the collected time-domain signals. The “identicality coefficient” (IC) was obtained for each sensing path under pristine structural conditions and used to eliminate any inequalities in the signals of each path. The output wave signals of samples were investigated by experiment and the finite element method. The values of the index produced by damages were significant against the threshold value set. The errors were less than 4%, which may be related to the linear relationship considered for the DI and delamination damage. A comparative of sensing paths showed a significant difference between both healthy and damaged samples. The delaminated damage was detected because the delamination phenomenon increased the amplitude of the wave and the wave energy. The comparison of the “damage index” (DI) values of six sensing paths showed that the path with delamination damage had the highest DI value i.e., 0.92 and then the sensing paths closest to the damage showed the highest DI values (DI=0.67). The path with a distance farther from the damage shows DI=0.09. The other DI values of other sensing paths were close to zero (DI=0) due to no damage. تفاصيل المقالة
