Bio-electro-Fenton microbial fuel cells generate energy through the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms. The generated electricity drives a Fenton reaction in a cathode chamber, which can be used for the decolorization of dye wastewater. Most of the previous works added expensive platinum catalyst to improve the electrical property of the system. In this research, aligned carbon n...

This paper presents the effects of varying waveguide material and/or shape on the frequency and joint-time-frequency characteristics of pulsed acoustic emission (AE) events. Forty-eight solid cylindrical waveguides were fabricated from alumina ceramic, mild steel, stainless steel (SS316), 2024-T3 aluminium or extruded Delrin. Three different lengths, two diameters and four sensor face angles we...

In this paper, low cycle fatigue life of CK45 steel and SS316 stainless steel under strain-controlled loading are experimentally investigated. In addition, the impact of mean strain and strain amplitude on the fatigue life and cyclic behavior of the materials are studied. Furthermore, it is attempted to predict fatigue life using energy and SWT damage parameters. The experimental results demons...

The Monte Carlo – Library Least-Squares (MCLLS) approach has now been developed, implemented, and tested for solving the inverse problem of EDXRF sample analysis. It consists of a linear library least-squares (LLS) code and a comprehensive Monte Carlo code named CEARXRF that is capable of calculating the unknown sample spectrum, all the elemental library spectra in the sample, and the different...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quantitative effects on torque expression of varying the slot size of stainless steel orthodontic brackets and the dimension of stainless steel wire, and to analyze the limitations of the experimental methods used. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vitro studies measuring torque expression in conventional and self-ligating stainless steel brackets with a torque-measuring devi...

The interaction between the surface of stainless steel and Bacillus cereus was studied in terms of the characteristics of interfacial interaction determined from the measurement of the contact angle of the surface of B. cereus and stainless steel in the presence or absence of B. cereus adherence. The microtopographies and the roughness of the surface of stainless steel and stainless steel adher...

Nickel superalloy Hastelloy-N, alloy X-750, stainless steel 316 (SS316), and 304 (SS304) are among the alloys used in construction of molten salt reactor (MSR). These were analyzed for their corrosion resistance behavior fluoride salt, a coolant MSR reactors with 46.5% LiF+ 11.5% NaF+ 42% KF. The tests run at 700 °C 100 h under Ar cover gas. After corrosion, significant weight loss was observed...

In this paper, application of ultrasonic techniques for defect detection in weldments of austenitic stainless steel and maraging steel is discussed. Applications of ultrasonic techniques for characterizing microstructural changes in AISI type 316 stainless steel and modified 9Cr-1Mo ferritic steel; thermomechanical processing of 15Cr-15Ni-2.3Mo-titanium modified austenitic stainless steel (allo...

The applications of stainless steel are one of the most reliable solutions in concrete structures to reduce chloride-induced corrosion problems and increase the structures service life, however, due to high prices of nickel, especially in many civil engineering projects, the austenitic stainless steel is replaced by the ferritic stainless steels. Compared with austenite stainless steel, the fer...
