In this paper, an artificial intelligent (AI) analyzer for mechanical properties of rolled steel bar by using neural networks was proposed. Based on the learning capability of neural network, the nonlinear and complex relationships among the steel bar...

About 40 million tons of steel slag a year, which is the by-product of iron and steel manufacture, is generated in Japan and the almost all the slag is reused for the materials, e.g. cement raw material, road base course material and civil engineering material, by effectively utilizing its characteristics such as chemical components and mechanical properties. Most of its purposes of uses are to...

dissimilar metals friction welding of austenitic–martensitic stainless steels is commonly used in order to manufacture engine valves in the automobile industry. in this study, x53crmnnin219 (austenitic stainless steel) and x45crsi93 (martensitic stainless steel) valve steel rods were welded by friction welding process. the welded joint was then heat treated at 760 0c for 60 min. mechanical prop...

A surface level expert system has been developed to judge the feasibility of automating the design of new nonstandard product routings. The main goal in this domain is to design or plan an appropriate sequence of processing units to be used in the manufacture of non-standard products. Each product order has associated with it a description of the desired steel product based on a range of mechan...

Semi-solid processing (SSP) of alloys has been used commercially since the early eighties for the manufacture of components in the automobile and aerospace industries. The thrust of the early development has been in aluminium and copper alloys. The nature of the process makes it an ideal candidate for the manufacture of components in alloys which are either difficult or virtually impossible to ...

Product designers must continually assess trade-offs among various performance attributes and cost. Materials choice can play an important role in that decision-making process. Materials affect many aspects of a product and firm—architecture, manufacture, and product performance. This paper examines the interrelationship of these early stage design choices through the application of process-bas...
