Evaluation of Process Capability in Gas Carburizing Process to Achieve Quality through Limit Design Concept

NUMEROUS INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS requirea hard wear-resistant surface called the case,and arelatively soft,tough inside called the core.There arefive principal methods of case hardening:?Carburizing?Nitriding?Cyaniding or carbonitriding?Flame hardening?Induction hardeningThe first three methods change the chemicalcomposition,carburizing by the addition of carbon,nitriding by the addition of nitrogen and cyaniding bythe addition of both carbon and nitrogen.The last twomethods do n…     

Computer Simulation of the Process of Quenching Large-Size Parts in Water and Aqueous Solutions

DESPITE of the rapid development of computerfacilities and numerical methods of computing thestress-strain state of large-size parts,the accuracy ofcomputations is not sufficient because of the lack ofaccurate input data.For this reason,heat treatingengineers do not trust computations and are afraid ofquenching of large-size parts in water,in particular,when Bi—>°°.There are some causes of suchsituation:1)Because of inaccurate boundary conditions andincomplete information on mechanical p…     

STUDY OF ELECTROMAGNETIC STIRRING REFINING MICRO-STRUCTURES OF PIPE-LINE STEEL SAW DEPOSITS

The effects of electromagnetic stirring on the microstructures of pipe-line steel SAW deposited metal were investigated. The results shouted that electromagnetic stirring increased the number density of inclusions with 0.2-0.6μm in diameter and promoted the formation and refining of acicular ferrite within austenite grains. The low tem-perature toughness of deposited metal was improved.     

Wear and cutting performance of diamond composite material-a comparison with tungsten carbide

A series of wear and rock cutting tests were undertaken to assess the wear and cutting performance of a thermally stable diamond composite (TSDC). The wear tests were conducted on a newly designed wear testing rig in which a rotating aluminium oxide grinding wheel is turned (also known as machined) by the testing tool element.The rock cutting tests were performed on a linear rock-cutting planer. The thrust and cutting forces acting on the tool were measured during these tests. A tungsten carbide element was also studied for comparative purposes. The wear coefficients of both materials were used to evaluate wear performance while cutting performance was assessed by tool wear and the rates of increase in forces with cutting distance.     

STUDY OF K_(2)O·6TiO_(2) WHISKER REINFORCED AI COMPOSITES FOR THEIR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND INTERFACIAL STRUCTURES

A newly developed whisker K_2O 6TiO_2 reinforeed 6061Al composite was prepared bysqueeze casting process.The flexural strength of the composite is 518MPa,and deereasesto 490MPa after T6 treatment.The hardness of the composite also shows the similarchange while T6 treating.The results of HRTEMobservation may explaine this property.change.It was considered that there is a continuous TiO layer at the whisker-matrix inter-face,which is easily to react with the segregated Mg and to form MgTi_2O_4,MgAl_2O_4.Thethickening of TiO layer after T6 treatment is the main reason resulting is strength degra-dation of composite.     

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE LATH MARTENSITE TRANSFORMATION IN Fe-Ni-Mn ALLOY

1.IntroductionBased on the concept of an invariant plane strain (IPS), phenomenological theory of martensite transformation (PTMT) is established[1-3]. In this case, an invariant plane is obtained by self-accommoda-tion effect between different martensitic variants, and the formula which reveals this self-accommoda-tion effect can be written as …

Delay-dependent anti-windup synthesis for stability of constrained state delay systems using pole-constraints

This paper proposes the design of anti-windup compensator gain for stability of actuator input constrained state delay systems using constrained pole-position of the closed-loop. Based on Delay-Dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and local sector conditions, a new LMI characterization is derived that ensures closed-loop asymptotic stability of constrained state delay systems while accounting upper bound fixed state delay and largest lower bound of the system’s pole-position in the formulation of anti-windup gain. Besides, at saturation, the method significantly nullifies the inherent slow dynamics present in the system. It is shown in the comparative numerical examples that the LMI formulation draws stability with improved time-domain performance.     

The magnetic-distortion probe: velocimetry in conducting fluids

A new type of velocimeter, capable of local velocity measurements in conducting fluids, is introduced. The principle of the "magnetic-distortion probe" is based on the measurement of the induced magnetic field by the flow of a conducting fluid in the vicinity of a localized magnetic field. The new velocimeter has no moving parts, and can be enclosed in a sealed cap, easing the implementation in harsh environments, such as liquid metals. The proposed method allows one to probe both the continuous part and fluctuations of the velocity, the temporal and spatial resolution being linked to the actual geometric configuration of the probe. A prototype probe has been tested in a gallinstan pipe flow and in a fully turbulent flow of liquid gallium generated by the counter rotation of two coaxial impellers in a cylinder. The signals have been compared to a reference potential probe and show very good agreement both for time-averaged velocities and turbulent fluctuations. The prototype is shown to detect motion from a few cm s(-1) to a few m s(-1). Moreover, the use of the magnetic-distortion probe with large-scale applied magnetic field is discussed.
