Graduate students of technical universities have practical difficulties with learning and successful instructional implementation of the fundamentals of engineering didactics. The paper is focused on the formulation of a thought-provoking curriculum with computational assignments for the course of “Technical University Pedagogic and Methodological Foundations of Engineering Education” (TUPMFEE) for graduate and Ph.D. students. The paper uses computational modelling of behavioral processes in socio-educational systems. The TUPMFEE-curriculum teaches future engineers to apply computational techniques to modeling of socio-technical phenomena. The author-formulated and a computer modeling-supported metaphor for the psycho-educational effects of high social pressure impact on student learning dynamics was allegorically visualized using mechanical rolling stress distribution for the nonlinear social process of student knowledge acquisition during instructor-enhanced education with description of some successive forgetting of the previously acquired instructional material upon the studied course completion. The author-proposed TUPMFEE-course successfully triggers graduate students’ interest in both social, mechanical and computer sciences.

API steel gas pipe of 32" diameter and 15.9 mm thickness was investigated to characterize the steel grade and assess weldability for fourteen-consecutive passes of TIG arc welding technology. The parent Metal (PM) contains 0.02% C in addition to 0.02% Nb. A steel electrode for TIG process was used containing 5.6% Cr and 0.56% Mo. Standard V-groove was mechanically prepared to suite butt welding. The microstructure of the PM was containing mainly fine acicular ferrite satisfying the essential requirements of API specifications for grade X60. The weld metal (WM) was containing very fine acicular ferrite and showing the maximum hardiness values. Heat affected zone (HAZ) structure still contains acicular ferrite but it became coarse, possessing lower hardness than that of WM. HAZ does not exceed 2-2.5 mm adjacent to the welded V-groove. The fractured tensile welded specimens were necked and failed at the HAZ. The impact transition temperature (ITT) was detected as -35 oC. However, the mechanical properties of the WM did not negatively affected by the welding process and still fair satisfying the requirements of API X60.

In this paper, the effect of nitrocarburizing treatment on tribological properties of AISI 1045 steel was investigated. This medium carbon steel was used in automotive industry, especially in the manufacture of machine components due to the good mechanical properties and lower cost. Characterization of the surface layer of treated samples was made by optical microscopy (OM), Vickers microhardness test, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and pin-on-disk wear machine. Experimental results showed that the surface layers formed through nitrocarburizing processing at 580 °C (compound layer and diffusion zone) increased the microhardness. It was found also that the nitriding treatment reduced the friction coefficient and improved the wear resistance, where the specific wear rate were decreased to 1/9 was noticed after 10 hours of nitriding time.

Advanced Ti-based composites are promising for applications in components of modern aircraft and rocket engines as well as other power equipment owing to their high strength-to-weight ratio and fracture toughness in a temperature range of 20 °C to 650 °C. However, there is a need to increase their operating temperature range up to 700−800 °C. In this work, mechanical behavior of Ti–Si–X composites (X=Al and/or Zr, Sn, C) has been studied. For comparison, mechanical behavior of Ti–Cr–X composite (X=Al and/or C) has been studied. As-cast and thermo-mechanically deformed series of beam specimens were examined. Strength tests of specimens were performed under three-point bending in a temperature range of 20 °C to 1000 °C. Single-edge notch beam (SENB) tests under three-point bending of specimen series were carried out in a temperature range of 20 °C to 900 °C for estimating fracture toughness of materials. Based on the constructed dependences of fracture toughness and strength on testing temperature for the specimen series as well as the microstructure and failure micromechanism analyses, the role of ultra-fine alloying elements in achieving good high-temperature strength and fracture toughness of the studied composites was substantiated.

Titanium tends to form nitrides and carbides. The plasma nitrocarburizing technique can generate these nitride and carbide compounds on the material's surface. The objective of this research is to use a plasma nitrocarburizing process to increase the hardness and corrosion resistance of commercially pure titanium. The generation of a thin layer with an average thickness of 1.88 μm was discovered using a Scanning Electron Microscope. The X-Ray Diffraction technique identifies this thin layer made of TiN and TiC compounds. The untreated commercially pure titanium hardness was 105.75 VHN, and the plasma nitrocarburized commercially pure titanium hardness was 312.68 VHN, according to the Vickers micro tester. After plasma nitrocarburizing, the corrosion rate of untreated commercially pure titanium decreased from 0.0061 mmpy to 0.00077 mmpy. The plasma nitrocarburizing process resulted in a 196 percent increase in hardness and an 87 percent reduction in corrosion rate.

The study examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy reinforced with palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) and silicon carbide (SiC). The alloy matrix was reinforced with SiC (2 - 8 wt.%) and PKSA (2 wt.%). The double stir-casting method was used to prepare the hybrid composite. The mechanical properties of the produced samples were evaluated based on ASTM standards. Identification of phases present in the composite was done using a PANalytical Empyrean diffractometer, while the microstructural characterization was examined using a scanning electron machine with electron dispersive spectrometer attachment. The density values increase as the SiC contents in the composites increase. As the reinforcement particulates increase, the mechanical properties of the reinforced composite improved with hardness value (73 – 85.5 BHN); yield strength (81 – 102 MPa); and ultimate tensile strength (123 – 133 MPa) compared with the matrix alloy of 73 BHN, 79 MPa, and 116 MPa, respectively. However, the percentage elongation and the fracture toughness of the reinforced samples reduced to 34.2 and 40.11%, respectively. The phases identified in the composites were Al, SiO2, Fe3Si, MgO, and SiC. The synthesized hybrid composites would be applicable as building materials such as aluminium frames and roofing sheets.

Transparent MgAl2O4 ceramics were fabricated by pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) employing two-step sintering mode. First, nanoscale MgAl2O4 powders were produced by solution combustion synthesis from hydrated nitrate compounds and urea. Subsequently, the synthesized powders were sintered by PECS with a heating rate of 100oC/min under an applied pressure of 100 MPa. The sintering process was conducted according to two-step heating profile. At the first step, the temperature increased to 1050, 1100, and 1150oC, followed by a dwell time of 60 min. The second-step sintering was carried out at 1300, 1350, and 1400oC for 20 min. The transparent ceramics sintered at 1050oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min exhibited transmittance over 80% in infrared range. In addition, transparent samples presented a Vickers hardness up to 30 GPa for sintering mode of 1150oC/ 60 min – 1400oC/ 20 min.

The development of engineering materials is continuously attracting attention from scientists and engineers for numerous engineering applications. The physical properties and wear mechanism of aluminium (Al 6063) matrix reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) particulates at different weight ratios ranging from 0 to 10 wt.% with 2 wt.% intervals were investigated. The liquid route of double stir casting was employed in synthesizing the composites. The wear experiment was conducted using the Taber-type wear abrasion machine. The worn surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), while the intermetallic phases were examined using the x-ray diffractometer (XRD). From the result, the increase in PKSA and SiC lowered and improved the density of the composites, respectively. The percentage porosity values (2 - 2.4%) obtained in this study were found to be within the acceptable limit of less than 4% for metal matrix composites castings. The mass loss and wear index increased owing to the rotating speed and applied load increase, resulting from the occurrence of mechanical mixing between the contacting surface of the sample disk and the machined disc. Adhesive and abrasive wear mechanisms were the major mechanisms observed in this study.

A special additive manufacturing (AM), called as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), is a technology that produces 3D workpieces using a wide range of different metals as raw materials. The aim of current research is to investigate the plasma nitriding effect on the DMLS produced samples. The direct current plasma nitriding treatment was achieved at 440 °C for 4 hours with 75%N2 – 25%H2 gas mixture. Before the treatment, the 316L austenitic stainless steels samples were ground with different methods to modify the surface roughness. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer, glow discharge optical electron spectroscopy, Vickers microhardness tester and potentiodynamic corrosion test were used for the characterization of surface properties. The results demonstrated that the surface roughness did not affect the outcome of the plasma nitriding, but the corrosion resistance increases with the decrease of the surface roughness compared to the untreated 3D sample.

The results demonstrated that the surface roughness did not affect the outcome of the plasma nitriding, but the corrosion resistance increases with the decrease of the surface roughness compared to the untreated 3D sample.","PeriodicalId":44511,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica Slovaca","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42650513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
