چکیده
Introduction The heat-treating industry is in need of heat-treatment furnace materials and fixtures that have a long service life and reduced heat capacity. Many of the fixtures are consumed within 1 year of exposure in high temperature carburization atmospheres. Most of these fixtures are manufactured using heat resistant alloys. Iron-nickel based and iron-nickel-chromium based alloys are experiencing a variety of degradation mechanisms. Based on microstructural analysis of components that were used until failure in carburization furnace application, it was found that the primary reason for failure was the excessive carburization that leads to “metal dusting” and subsequent cracking. Aluminizing is widely used to increase the high temperature oxidation and carburization resistance of nickel-based alloys.

The influence of higher surface hardness on fretting fatigue life of hard anodized aerospace AL7075-T6 alloy
In this research work, the influence of higher surface hardness on the fretting fatigue life of hard anodized aerospace AL7075-T6 alloy was investigated. An optimization of the parameters of hard anodized Al7075-T6 alloy to obtain higher surface hardness was presented. Confirmation test was carried out to show the improvement after using the best parameter combination attained from the optimiza...
متن کاملA Comparative Analysis of Pre- and Post-electroconvulsive Therapy Drawings
In the general hospital, many look at Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) as a medical procedure that does not require the integrated efforts of the multidisciplinary team. If ECT treatment is administered without attention to dynamics and other therapeutic issues in the patient’s life and treatment, it may lead to less than successful long-term results (Silbert, 1986). Developing practical outcome...
متن کاملLaboratory and clinical analyses of nitinol wire.
M an’s long history of technologic development has been marked by a continuing search for improved materials. This effort has resulted in vast arrays of new materials which have affected nearly every aspect of contemporary life, including orthodontics. A significant advance in orthodontic materials was made in the late 1930’s and 1940’s when stainless steel wire and appliances became widely ava...
متن کاملProcess capability improvement through DMAIC for aluminum alloy wheel machining
This paper first enlists the generic problems of alloy wheel machining and subsequently details on the process improvement of the identified critical-to-quality machining characteristic of A356 aluminum alloy wheel machining process. The causal factors are traced using the Ishikawa diagram and prioritization of corrective actions is done through process failure modes and effects analysis. Proce...
متن کاملFatigue Properties of Nanocrystalline Titanium
Fatigue resistance of nanocrystalline commercial pure titanium obtained by hydrostatic extrusion was investigated. Coarse grained titanium and Ti6Al4V alloy were used as the reference materials. The fatigue limit and fatigue life examined at constant stress amplitude, were found to increase significantly compared to those of the coarse-grained counterparts. It is suggested that the observed imp...
