Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of Ni-free duplex stainless steels containing N and C (Febalance-19Cr-8Mn-0.25C-(0.03, 0.21)N, in wt %) was investigated by using a slow strain rate test (SSRT) in air and aqueous NaCl solution with different tensile directions, including parallel (longitudinal) and perpendicular (transverse) to the rolling direction. It was found that alloying N was eff...

Cold rolling process of a major transformation in the form of sheet metal and a wide range of steel products are produced in this way. Elastic deformation during cold rolling working rollers and the inevitable increase in the rolling force. In this study, the effect of elastic deformation during cold rolling mill rollers working on the reciprocating back and forth in tandem with the presence of...

Promiscuous, rolling-circle replication plasmid pMV158 determines tetracycline resistance to its host and can be mobilized by conjugation. Plasmid pLS1 is a deletion derivative of pMV158 that has lost its conjugative mobilization ability. Both plasmids replicate efficiently and are stably inherited in Streptococcus pneumoniae. We have analyzed the effect of pMV158 and pLS1 carriage on the bacte...

A series of large-scale experimental tests is conducted on a mass equipped with a hybrid controlled base-isolation system that consists of rolling pendulum system (RPS) and a 20 kN magnetorheological (MR) damper. The 12-ton mass and its hybrid isolation system are subjected to various intensities of nearand far-fault earthquakes on a large shake table. Fuzzy controllers use feedback from displa...

This paper presents the results of both experimental and theoretical investigations for the dynamics of a steel disc spinning on a horizontal rough surface. With a pair of high-speed cameras, a stereoscopic vision method is adopted to perform omnidirectional measurements for the temporal evolution of the disc's motion. The experiment data allow us to detail the dynamics of the disc, and consequ...

Superalloys are metallic alloys used for high temperature applications such as encountered in the aircraft industry and where resistance to deformation is a primary requirement. Alloy 718 and waspaloy are few examples of Nickel-base superalloys that resist deformation at elevated temperatures and are therefore difficult to hot work. The major hotworking operations are forging, extrusion, and ro...

this research work is devoted to the investigation on the use of silica on the fatigue-to-failure property of a tire tread compound. a reference compound was frst designed in which 60 phr carbon black was used as the reinforcing fller. while keeping the total of fller content to be constant as 60 phr, three additional compounds with 5, 10 and 20 phr silica were then manufactured. the classical ...

In this paper, a new kind of hierarchical tube with a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) is proposed. The first level tube is constructed by rolling up an auxetic hexagonal honeycomb. Then, the second level tube is produced by substituting the arm of the auxetic sheet with the first level tube and rolling it up. The Nth ( ) level tube can be built recursively. Based on the Euler beam theory, the eq...

The most important purpose of cold rolling processes, in addition to obtaining appropriate mechanical features, is to achieve very low and more precise thicknesses’, the issue that is not possible in hot rolling processes. Today, most cold rolling lines designed continuously and usually consist of 4 to 6 fourroller rolling rack. Finished surface of obtained sheets of cold rolling is Harder and ...
