In this paper, we have addressed the Design and simulation results of an electrostatically controlled micro mirror using COMSOL multiphysics Software. The structural mechanical properties of the actuation mechanism of a square shape micro-mirror with the lift-off of the structure used four springs simulating a prestressed cantilever beam. There are few base materials were introduced like Alumin...

This article describes fretting behavior of zirconia and silicon nitride balls on an electro-deposited coating. Fretting tests are performed using a ball-on-flat configuration. The evolution of the kinetic friction coefficient is determined, along with slip ratio. Experimental results show that the steady-state friction coefficient between ceramic balls (Si₃N₄ and ZrO₂) and an electro-deposited...

The present work is concentrated with the dry turning of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel (ASS). This paper presents the influence of cutting parameters like cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the surface roughness of austenitic stainless steel during dry turning. A plan of experiments based on Taguchi’s technique has been used to acquire the data. An orthogonal array, the signal t...

The aim of this study is to investigate experimentally the microstructural evolution of the joints using ledeburitic AISI D2 Tool Steel parts. The application of a new process of the semisolid joining of two parts of AISI D2 cold-work tool steel is proposed using a partial remelting method. Samples were heated in an argon atmosphere up to 1300°C and held for 10 minutes. Metallographic analyses ...

Electron beam welding has proved phenomenal in welding of components used in space because it uses a vacuum environment which eliminates substances like oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. The main advantage of EBW is its ability to weld dissimilar materials and incorporate desirable properties in the assembly. It has high depth to width ratio and focuses exactly on the portion to be welded, thereb...

The effect of several Almen intensities of shot peening on the corrosion behavior, surface roughness, micro hardness profiles, and residual stresses of stainless steel AISI 316 L were investigated. Hydroxyapatite coating (HA) were applied to shot peened materials to improve their corrosion resistance. The corrosion behaviour were studied using potentiodynamic polarization. The electrochemical t...

Microstructural evolutions during annealing of cold rolled AISI 304L and AISI 316L stainless steels were studied. Cold rolled AISI 304L alloy was fully martensitic but cold rolled AISI 316L alloy was partially martensitic due to the higher stability of the austenite phase in the latter. During continuous heating to elevated temperatures, the complete reversion of strain-induced martensite at 75...
