Eddy Current Detection of Retained Austenite in Ni-Hard4 Cast Iron

In this article, the nondestructive eddy current (EC) method was used for microstructural evaluation of Ni-hard4 cast iron (NiHCI). Different destabilizing heat treatments were used to produce different microstructures and hardness. The microstructural analysis and hardness measurement were done for conventional characterization of the reference blocks. Then, the EC techniques were applied to evaluate the hardness and microstructural changes by the detection of EC parameters at different frequencies. Metallurgical investigations showed that increasing the destabilizing soaking time and temperature decreases the amount of retained austenite in NiHCIs. The nondestructive evaluation method (NDT) revealed that it can be good correlated between retained austenite amount and hardness with EC parameters. This shows that the EC technique can detect NiHCIs products according to the metallurgical characterization with good accuracy.

Theoretical investigation of plasma dynamical behavior and halo current analysis

In this paper, a novel system has been developed for plasma disruption conditions followed by downward vertical displacement. During the disruption, size and orientation of plasma decreases, which gives the halo current circulated around each contacting point in radial as well as in poloidal directions. Therefore, a new mathematical model has been developed, which gives the interaction forces of halo current, vertical, and radial plasma dynamical behavior (linear and nonlinear). This theoretical approach showed that the tokamak plasma has two connecting points in order to distinguish between the stable and unstable position. This model can particularly give the magnetic field change points and changing of flux, which are more convenient in order to discuss the static and tilting position of plasma behavior. Numerical techniques have been calculated in terms of plasma dynamical behavior, that is, Electromagnetic/plasma, Vertical Displacement Event (VDE) stages, and initial interaction between the forces under specific time interval. The objective of the research is to developed theoretical and computational model in order to investigate the dynamical behavior of plasma under disruption conditions. This is the novel method, and no work has been reported so far. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Characterization system based on image mapping for field emission devices

Field Emission devices (FE) have been proposed as efficient electron sources for several applications such as electron microscopy and vacuum sensors. Evidently, characterization methods applied during development phase of FE devices are crucial to evaluate aspects related with their working stability, homogeneity, and efficiency. However, the traditional methods provide only overall information about such characteristics, which difficult to improve the performance of these devices and their integration with electronics. To overcome this problem, this work presents an alternative system to characterize FE devices through electron emission imaging in real-time. The proposed system acquires I-V features of FE devices, while a video camera captures the emission image from a phosphor screen. Virtual instrumentation based on LabVIEW manages the whole system including measurement instruments, image capture, and data processing. As a result, histograms, 3D maps, and other FE analyses provide information about emitting characteristics of selected regions of interest. The main contribution of this work is to offer an important tool for the analyses of electron emission, by the association of captured images with the localized emission current. The extracted information from our system can efficiently support the characterization and the development of FE devices.

Revolutionizing supply chain management the theory of constraints way: a case study

This research describes in detail an application of theory of constraints (TOC) and its resulting benefits on the supply chain performance of India's largest lock manufacturing company over a period of seven years. Using TOC's thinking process, the core constraints that had limited the company's performance in the areas of production, distribution, supply group and projects were identified and eliminated. TOC's unique approach helped the company achieve a significant reduction in its finished goods, raw material and work-in-process inventories at various levels across the supply chain. The stock-outs and excess in the distribution system nearly disappeared. The existing lead times saw a drastic reduction while the availability of items increased to nearly 100% despite significant decrease in inventory levels in the supply chain. The inventory turns of the distributors and retailers more than tripled and their profitability increased significantly. The overall sales of the company grew nearly three times during the six years post TOC implementation. TOC's holistic approach helped the company to double its profits and improve its cash position during the Great Recession.     

Evaluation of an EMAT–EC dual probe in sizing extent of wall thinning

An electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT)–eddy current (EC) dual probe is developed to assess wall thinning. With a view to developing compatible EMAT and EC operating modes, probe’s capability to size width and depth of wall thinning is quantitatively evaluated. Experiments carried out on austenitic stainless steel plates with various groove sizes show that the EMAT mode of the dual probe functions best when thinning is shallow but wide, whereas the EC mode functions best when thinning is deep but narrow. Mode complementarity indicates that this dual probe offers greater reliability in wall thinning monitoring.

Low‐Voltage‐Ride‐Through Performance of an HVDC Transmission System Using Two Modular Multilevel Double‐Star Chopper‐Cells Converters

This paper presents an intensive discussion on a long‐distance high‐voltage direct‐current (HVDC) transmission system that combines two modular multilevel cascade converters based on double‐star chopper cells (MMCC‐DSCC) with DC power cables. Hereinafter, a single MMCC‐DSCC is referred to as a DSCC converter or just as a DSCC for the sake of simplicity. The HVDC transmission system is required to provide low‐voltage‐ride‐through (LVRT) capability to enhance transmission system availability. This paper proposes a new LVRT method without any direct information exchange between the two DSCC converters. The validity of the method is verified, using simulated waveforms from the software package of “PSCAD/EMTDC” and experimental waveforms from a three‐phase 200‐V, 400‐Vdc, 10‐kW, 50‐Hz downscaled HVDC system with a set of 300‐meter‐long DC power cables.
