چکیده

A study was conducted of the fire ignition potential of high-speed disk cutting saws (hotsaws). Surface temperature increases for the operating saw blade were measured during normal cutting and when stopping the disk using friction against a stump. Observed temperature increases during normal operation were as high as 17◦ C above ambient. Tooth temperatures tended to be highest, but were not observed to be vastly different from global saw disk temperatures. Dynamic increases in temperature at the cutting interface of saw disk and tree tended to be on the order of a few degrees C. Stopping the blade by dropping it on a stump caused much higher temperatures on the stump itself (to the point of charring), but average saw blade temperatures increased by only an additional 10◦ C. An additional test of sparking tendencies of various rocks found that the number of visible sparks thrown varied by rock type, with basalt-type rocks having the highest numbers.

Experimental investigations on a pre-chamber spark plug with variable heat range by integrating a controlled hot surface

In gasoline engines, pre-chamber spark ignition systems are used to achieve high efficiency and low NOx emissions when operating under lean conditions. While a cold pre-chamber spark plug can lead to misfiring and flame quenching under cold start or part load operation, a hot pre-chamber can result in uncontrolled pre-ignition phenomena under full load operation. This paper presents an approach...

Comparison of Creep Behavior in Alumina Based Ceramics Densified by Spark Plasma Sintering and Hot Pressing

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) method, as plasma activated sintering, is a method applicable for rapid sintering of metals and ceramics. Owing to the advantage of rapid heating, the alumina ceramics obtained by SPS have a grain size and density comparable to those of hot pressed ones. The increase of densification rate may be related to some difference in ion transport characteristics. This study...

Flash (Ultra-Rapid) Spark-Plasma Sintering of Silicon Carbide

A new ultra-rapid process of flash spark plasma sintering is developed. The idea of flash spark plasma sintering (or flash hot pressing - FHP) stems from the conducted theoretical analysis of the role of thermal runaway phenomena for material processing by flash sintering. The major purpose of the present study is to theoretically analyze the thermal runaway nature of flash sintering and to exp...

Numerical study on the effect of input variations on bulge height in hot tube metal gas forming process

.Hot metal gas forming of tubes can be used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace industries. In this process tube is formed at elevated temperatures, by using gas instead of fluid pressure. Lower required pressure and low power are its advantages in comparison to hydroforming process. In this paper, a hot metal gas bulging process of an aluminum alloy tube has been investigate...
