Steel (SI) and white spotting (W) loci encode steel factor (c-kit ligand) and the c-kit tyrosine kinase receptor, respectively. Mutations at these loci affect migration and differentiation of primordial germ cells, neural crest-derived melanoblasts, and hematopoietic cells. In these processes, cell adhesion molecules are hypothesized to be crucial. We have examined the role of steel factor and ...

a low carbon al-killed ti-added steel was produced in mobarakeh steel complex in iran. mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. it was found that the addition of small amounts of ti increased ...

Steel ball surface-defect inspection was performed by using a new saddle-type eddy current sensor (SECS), which included a saddle coil and a signal conditioning circuit. The saddle coil was directly wound on the steel ball's outer bracket in a semi-circumferential direction. Driven by a friction wheel, the test steel ball rotated in a one-dimensional direction, such that the steel ball surface ...

The present Experimental investigation is to study the Mechanical Properties of the Fly ash concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The concrete composite comprises of steel fibers in different percentages and partial replacement of cement in different proportions. Steel fibers varied from 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement and replacement of fly ash varied from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% ...

Plastic pre-strains were applied to the metastable 304L austenitic stainless steel at both room temperature (20 °C) and higher temperatures (i.e., 50, 80 and 100 °C), and then the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of the steel was evaluated by cathodically hydrogen-charging and tensile testing. The 20 °C pre-strain greatly strengthened the steel, but simultaneously significantly increa...

We consider the problem of dynamic coupling between the rapid thermal solidification and mechanical compression of steel in twin-roll steel strip casting. In traditional steel casting, molten steel is first solidified into thick slabs and then compressed via a series of rollers to create thin sheets of steel. In twin-roll casting, these two processes are combined, thereby making control of the ...

We present the results of our numerical simulation of the dynamic response and deformation of 1 m diameter circular DH-36 steel plates and DH-36 steel-polyurea bilayers, subjected to blast-like loads. Different thicknesses of the polyurea are considered and the effect of polyurea thickness on the performance of steel plates under blast loads is investigated. For each polyurea thickness, we have...

The first part of the project is mainly about changing of slag compositions and see it affect on the inclusions in the ladle furnace. The second part of the project is to study the influence of stirring (EMGAS) on the large inclusions in the steel by changing stirring conditions. The project has done at Uddeholm AB, Hagfors. First, the scrap is melted in ARC furnace then moved to the ladle de-s...

This paper studies a bidisperse granular mixture consisting of two species of stainless steel spheres in a vertically vibrated compartmentalized container. The experiments show that with proper vibration acceleration, the granular clock stops when horizontal segregation of the large spheres residing in the far end from the barrier wall occurs. When the segregation is broken, the granular clock ...
