This paper presents a systematic approach to develop the mathematical model for predicting the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and percentage of elongation of AA6351 aluminum alloy which is widely used in automotive, aircraft and defense Industries by incorporating (FSW) friction stir welding process parameter such as tool rotational speed, welding speed, and axial force. FSW has bee...

High strength Fe-36Ni-base Invar alloys containing Al contents up to 0.3 weight percent were cast into ingots and thermodynamic equilibrium during solidification has been investigated in this study. From the thermodynamic simulation using Thermo-Calc®, it has been revealed that equilibrium phases which can be formed are two kinds of MC-type precipitates, MoC, and M2C carbides. The mu phase was ...

in this work, a selective method for separation and preconcentration of nickel ions at trace level on modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes columns and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) has been developed. multiwalled carbon nanotubes were oxidized with concentrated hno3 and then modified with loading 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol. the sorption of ni(ii) ions was quantit...

In order to lower fuel consumption and reduce emissions, aluminum is being considered as an alternative to steel in large scale production of autobodies. This study evaluates the prospects of aluminum sheets as a cost efficient alternative to steel in autobodies with the unibody design. The study focuses on the processing technologies and alloy selection for aluminum automotive sheets and looks...

The recent development of metallic alloy systems which can be processed with an amorphous structure over large dimensions, specifically to form metallic glasses at low cooling rates ~;10 K/s!, has permitted novel measurements of important mechanical properties. These include, for example, fatigue-crack growth and fracture toughness behavior, representing the conditions governing the subcritical...

In the present work, the isothermal compression tests of Al–0.62Mg–0.73Si aluminum alloy were carried out by using the Gleeble-1500D thermo-simulation machine. The samples were tested in the temperature range of 410–510°C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s−1. Based on the obtained stress–strain curves, the hot deformation behavior was presented. The constitutive relationship of Al–0.62Mg–0.73Si...

In the Lost Foam Casting process, melting point temperature of metal, as well as volume and rate of the foam degradation have significant effect on the mold filling pattern. Therefore, gas generation capacity and gas gap length are two important parameters for modeling of mold filling time of the lost foam casting processes. In this paper, the gas gap length at the liquidfoam interface for a lo...

OBJECTIVE To test the homemade ring fixator as a tool for correction of bony deformity. MATERIAL AND METHOD The authors developed an aluminum alloy ring fixator and tested it to find out the accuracy of manufacturing and strength of the ring systems under axial load with the Roundness Testing Machine and Lloyd Universal Testing Machine. RESULTS The mean diameter of the twenty five-drill hol...

The debate over the pros and cons of aluminum vs. copper conductors has been discussed for many years. Many of the concerns are based on old information and also misinformation. These concerns center on the very different properties of the two materials and their suitability for application within the Electrical Equipment Industry. Reliable performance from the conductors, the joints and termin...
