conclusions according to the factory noise map, except for the control rooms with 81 dba noise, other cases of measuring stations were higher than the standard exposure of 85 dba noise. as a result, the implementation of control strategies, such as inspection and performance of control systems and insulation of the control room to prevent unnecessary exposure noise, are necessary. background st...

Introduction: During the past 30 years, the melting methods and associated molten metal-handling systems used by the U.S. foundry industry have changed significantly. During the same period, while ductile iron production has experienced continued growth, the quality of metallic scrap and other ironunit feed stocks has steadily deteriorated. The result: slag related melting problems have become ...

Within most industry segments, significant financial losses may be incurred due to accelerated wear of various components. In order to minimize the effects of mechanical wear and extend product life, thermal spray coating solutions introduced into production and is further developing them to meet even more demanding wear applications. Applying coatings using thermal spray is an established indu...

In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations have been utilized to provide fundamental understanding of melting behavior of pure Pd and Pt nanoparticles with the size of 10 nm in diameter, both free and graphene-supported during continuous heating. The embedded atom method is employed to model the metal-metal interactions, whereas a Lennard-Jones potential is applied to describe the met...

In this study, metal behavior in ash-melting and municipal solid waste (MSW) gasiWcation-melting facilities were investigated. Eight ash-melting and three MSW gasiWcation-melting facilities with a variety of melting processes and feedstocks were selected. From each facility, melting furnace Xy ash (MFA) and molten slag were sampled, and feedstock of the ash-melting processes was also taken. For...

In this study, metal behavior in ash-melting and municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification-melting facilities were investigated. Eight ash-melting and three MSW gasification-melting facilities with a variety of melting processes and feedstocks were selected. From each facility, melting furnace fly ash (MFA) and molten slag were sampled, and feedstock of the ash-melting processes was also taken. ...

To investigate the effect of adsorbates on structural transitions in small palladium aggregates, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations of cluster “melting” in presence of atomic hydrogen. Intriguing questions are how the exposure to hydrogen modifies the metal-metal interaction, and whether hydrogen could lower the onset of melting. Various structural and caloric methods were used to...

This paper deals with a novel interactive approach of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as an optimization tool for optimizing process parameters of rotary furnace. This approach solves a very challenging problem in the area of rotary furnace i. e. selection of optimal process parameters for producing homogenous quality castings. Rotary furnace involves several critical parameters like flame temp...

Mixed crystals can be categorized as the crystal in which two or more different types of atoms are present and configured. These atoms interact each other in the influence of Coulomb force of attraction and the presence of short range repulsion force. Due to this interaction they tends to be arranged in equilibrium state and forms new material. A pure crystal can be doped by impurities with pro...
