This article presents the results of a series of experiments performed to assess the dynamic response of circular monolithic steel and steel–polyurea bilayer plates to impulsive loads. A convenient technique to enhance the energy absorption capability of steel plates and to improve their resistance to fracturing in dynamic events, is to spray-cast a layer of polyurea onto the plates. Since poly...

Refractory-based high entropy alloys (HEAs) of the 2nd-generation type are new intensively-studied materials with a high potential for structural high-temperature applications. This paper presents investigation results on microstructural evolution and phase formation in as-cast and subsequently heat-treated HEAs at various temperature-time regimes. Microstructural examination was performed by m...

The hot workability of microalloyed steel was studied in the deformation temperature range 850?1200?C and strain rate 0.001-100s-1. constitutive relation flow stress with temperature, established to construct processing maps steel. were constructed using conventional power law, integral method, Arrhenius equations. developed used predict optimal conditions validated metallurgical examinations. ...

This present work is aimed to optimize the machining parameters and study effect of powder mixed dielectric fluid on EDM process. TOPSIS method optimization adopted identify optimal parameters. HCHCr die steel preferred as material. Ni, Zr Ni+Zr were selected inclusion in due hard ductile nature. L9 array Taguchi DOE perform experiments with like peak off time, pulse time current. revealed that...

The combined effect of the cooling rate and microalloying has been studied from suction casted Cu50Zr50, Cu49.5Zr50Fe0.5 Cu49Zr50Fe1 at. % rods 2 mm 4 diameter. For samples, ∼1000 K/s rate, microstructure mostly consists B2 CuZr austenite it is basically same for all compositions. However, 0.5 Fe addition promotes formation stress-induced B19’ martensite upon wear testing thus improving resista...

cast connections. ABSTRACT: Diagonal bracings are extremely popular elements for lateral load resistance in steel-framed buildings. In turn, the most common shape used for bracing members is the hollow structural section. While the design of such members is straight-forward, the design of gusset-plate connections at the member ends is controversial. This paper reviews the current ‘state-of-the-...

The paper presents a multiobjective optimization approach to process parameter optimization in continuous casting of steel, which is the most widely used steel production process. The optimization task is to find parameter values such that the target values of the empirical metallurgical optimization criteria are approached as closely as possible, since this in turn results in high quality of t...
