Construction of High Temperature Hot Stove.

Comparison of Tribological Behavior of Deep Cryogenic Treated Hot Work Tool Steel at Room and High Temperature

The deep cryogenic treatment is a complementary operation that is done on a variety of tool steels aimed at improving their abrasion resistance and hardness. In the case of the H13 hot-work steel, which is widely used at high temperatures as a hot-deformation tool, we need to determine the efficiency of subzero treatment on it at the working temperature. In this regard, this paper is focu...

High Temperature Damage Accumulation in Hot Pressed Alumina

The development of grain-boundary cavitation in hot-pressed A1203 both during flexural creep and tress-free annealing in air has been studied. Creep damage accumulation in driven both by the applied stress, and by internal gas pressure in the cavities. The internal pressure results from gas trapped during hot pressing, and from gas-generating chemical reactions active during testing. At machine...

Comparison of the ability to recover physiological traits of hot peppers and sweet peppers after high temperature stress

Quantitative metrics of stove adoption using Stove Use Monitors (SUMs).

The sustained use of cookstoves that are introduced to reduce fuel use or air pollution needs to be objectively monitored to verify the sustainability of these benefits. Quantifying stove adoption requires affordable tools, scalable methods and validated metrics of usage. We quantified the longitudinal patterns of chimney-stove use of 80 households in rural Guatemala, monitored with Stove Use M...

Prediction of Temperature Distribution in the Hot Torsion Test Specimen

Hot torsion test (HTT) has extensively been used to analysis and physically model flow behavior and microstructure evolution of materials and alloys during hot deformation processes. In this test, the specimen geometry has a great influence in obtaining reliable test results. In this paper, the interaction of thermal-mechanical conditions and geometry of the HTT specimen was studied. The commer...
