Yielding of Cast Iron as Seen During Bending Test

Cooling rate optimization of as-cast consciously cast steel

Abstract: A combination of a finite element method (FEM) algorithm with ANSYS codes and post image processing of NDT ultrasonic images along with laboratory cooling experiments and microstructural analysis provide a guideline to determine the optimum cooling rate for any grade of steel in which the highest productivity can be achieved without any degradation of the cast steel products. The sugg...

Supine fulcrum bending test and in-cast correction of Scheuermann's thoracic kyphosis

Materials and methods From 2001 to 2007, eighty-six adolescents were conservatively treated for Scheuermann juvenile kyphosis of thoracic location. Charts of 55 patients, 39 boys and 16 girls, were accessible. The age was from 11 to 18 years, with a mean of 14.6 ± 1.6 years. The location of hyper-kyphosis was middle thoracic in most cases, apart from five patients with a thoraco-lumbar location...

Cast Iron Metallurgy

Cast iron (CI) is one of the oldest materials in commercial use. It has excellent compressive strength and is commonly used for structures that require this property, as well as for water and sewer lines. This article explains CI metallurgy and why the understanding of this metallurgy is key to understanding other ferrous materials and alloys. The composition of cast iron (CI) varies significan...

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...
