In this article boron steel is analyzed on the example of steel grade B27. In view of the fact that steel is supplied in a state after hot rolling, and the choice of a suitable heat treatment is left to the buyer steel were examined after conventional heat treatments. Steel was studied in state as delivered, after normalization, after quenching and after quenching and tempering at different tem...

This work explores the effect of surface modification of stainless steel with a carbon nitride (CNx) film, under sliding wear of the UHMWPE/steel. Wettatibility of CNx coatings is assessed by means of the sessile drop method using two different liquid media. Microhardness and stiffness of CNx coatings are estimated by depth-sensing indentation. The sliding performance of UHMWPE against stainles...

This research conducts an error analysis between the forecasting value and the actual value of steel demand of 2010 in China, which is based on the analysis of forecasting methods and their results of Chinese steel demand in the existing studies, and then forecasts China’s steel demand in 2015 by making use of a combined forecasting method. The combined forecasting method includes two stages. I...

A cyclic wet/dry accelerated corrosion test was used to compare the corrosion behavior of medium-Mn steel and Q345 steel. In terms of scanning electron microscope (SEM), using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and analysis of the corrosion process, the results showed that the medium-Mn steel did not exhibit higher corrosion res...

Steel foam is a material that can now be produced at the laboratory scale using a variety of different processes that create materials with a variety of different morphologies. Steel foam has not, however, been adopted in structural applications. In this paper we review some of the methods available for processing steel foams and the material properties that result from those processes, and dem...

the steel shear wall and composite steel plate shear wall is introduced in recent three decade and is considered and is spread rapidly. composite steel plate shear wall which is made of a layer of thin steel sheet with coating of reinforced concrete in one or both sides of steel palate is considered a third generation of resistance shear walls against lateral loads that in addition to increasin...

In this research, we studied the fault recognition algorithm of steel cord conveyor belt, and obtained the wire ropes image by adopting the detection system of steel cord conveyor belt, so that the fault recognition algorithm of steel cord conveyor belt was proposed based on Fruit fly optimization algorithm. As we know that the fruit fly optimization algorithm is used for fault detection of the...

In this research work a series of tests were conducted in order to determine flank wear and cutting force FY on hard AISI 440 C martensitic stainless steel and SCM 440 alloy steels. The operating parameters are cutting speed, feed rate and a constant depth of cut to investigate the flank wear and cutting force. No cutting fluid was used during the turning process. The cutting tool used was CBN ...

In this present study, experimental work was conducted to study the effectiveness of newly innovated steel-CFRP composite (CFRP laminates sandwiched between two steel strips) as stirrups. A total numbers of eight concrete beams were tested under four point loads. Each beam measured 1600 mm long, 160mm width and 240 mm depth. The beams were reinforced with different shear reinforcements; one wit...

The Working Paper series provides a means for circulating preliminary research results by members of, or visitors associated with, the Chinese Economies Research Centre. To facilitate prompt distribution, papers are screened but not formally refereed. ABSTRACT This paper outlines and applies a methodology for testing the hypothesis, put forward by Chinese metallurgical industry officials, that ...
