Strengths of serpentinite gouges at elevated temperatures

THE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AZ31 MAGNESIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

AZ31 magnesium alloy is considered as a promising alloy in various applications and industries. Furthermore, to design a proper hot working process (rolling, forging and extrusion), the assessment of hot working behaviour of the alloy is necessary. Accordingly, the hot deformation behaviour of AZ31 alloy was studied through hot compression testing method This was carried out in a wide range of ...

Dynamic weakening of serpentinite gouges and bare surfaces at seismic slip rates

To investigate differences in the frictional behavior between initially bare rock surfaces of serpentinite and powdered serpentinite ("gouge") at subseismic to seismic slip rates, we conducted single-velocity step and multiple-velocity step friction experiments on an antigorite-rich and lizardite-rich serpentinite at slip rates (V) from 0.003 m/s to 6.5 m/s, sliding displacements up to 1.6 m, a...

Hydrodynamics of a Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed at Elevated Temperatures Using the Radioactive Particle Tracking Technique

Effect of temperature on hydrodynamics of bubbling gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated.  Experiments were carried out in the range of 25-600 ºC and different superficial gas velocities in the range of 0.17-0.78 m/s with sand particles. Time-position trajectory of particles was obtained by radioactive particle tracking technique. These data were used for determination of mean velocitie...

Microstructural Evolution of Roll Bonded Al-Clad Stainless Steel Sheets at Elevated Temperatures

The cold roll bonding of Al on AISI 304L stainless steel was carried out to fabricate the Al/304L/Al clad sheet composites. The maximum bond strength of 20 N/mm was acquired just by 38% reduction, for which the tearing of the aluminum sheet occurred during the peeling test. The microstructural evolution during subsequent postannealing heat treatment was systematically studied based on the impur...
