An Nb-containing grain-oriented silicon steel was produced through double-stage cold rolling in order to investigate the effect of the heating rate during intermediate annealing on primary recrystallization and decarburization behavior. The microstru...

In FY-20, India’s steel production was 109 MT, and it is the second-largest steel producer on the planet, after China. India’s per capita consumption of steel was around 75 kg, which has risen from 59 kg in FY-14. Despite the increase in consumption,...

This paper investigated the fatigue crack propagation mechanism of CP Ti at various stress amplitudes (175, 200, 227 MPa). One single crack at 175 MPa and three main cracks via sub-crack coalescence at 227 MPa were found to be responsible for fatigue...

Four titanium-iron binary alloys were studied. They were preliminarily annealed in the (α + β) and (α + TiFe) regions of the Ti-Fe phase diagram. The changes in the phase composition, nanohardness, and Young’s modulus of the annealed alloys before an...

The effect of temperature on the corrosion resistance of layered double hydroxide (LDH) conversion coatings on AZ91D magnesium alloy, based on a closed-cycle system, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XP...

Among various off-equilibrium microstructures of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy, electron beam powder bed fusion, in which three dimensional metallic objects are fabricated by melting the ingredient powder materials layer by layer on a pre-h...

This study involves the validating of thermal analysis during TIG Arc welding of 1.4418 steel using finite element analyses (FEA) with experimental approaches. 3D heat transfer simulation of 1.4418 stainless steel TIG arc welding is implemented using...

The use of cutting fluid is crucial in the grinding process due to the elevated heat generated during the process which typically flows to the workpiece and can adversely affect its integrity. Considering the conventional technique for cutting fluid...

Studying the dynamic performance of rocks affected by high temperatures is a crucial theoretical foundation of mining engineering design and the construction of deep metallic mineral resources. More importantly, such studies can provide technical sup...

Powder metallurgy (PM) offers several variants to introduce alloying elements for establishing the desired final composition. One route is the master alloy (MA) approach. The composition and the elements contained in the MA can be adjusted to obtain...
