Abstract In sheet metal forming processes, friction increases the force parameters of the forming process and produces a deterioration in the quality of the surface of the components. The basic way to reduce the unfavourable impact of friction is to lubricate the sheet metal surface with commercial oils. This article presents the results of experimental studies and analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the friction of DC01 low-carbon steel sheets using a strip drawing test. For these tests, a special device was built containing countersamples with a flat surface made of 145Cr6 steel covered with a protective AlTiN coating. Lubricants of different viscosities were fed into the contact zone under forced pressure. The effect of contact pressure on the value of the coefficient of friction was also determined. The predicted R² of 0.9227 was in reasonable agreement with the adjusted R² of 0.9411 confirming that the ANOVA model was reliable. It was found that increasing the lubricant pressure had a beneficial effect in reducing the value of the coefficient of friction. The higher the contact pressure, the more effectively the pressurised oil reduced the value of the coefficient of friction.

Abstract While natural resources are becoming scarce and climate change is accelerating, the recovery and recycling of wastes and by-products is an effective way to deal with the economic and ecological constraints of recent decades. The valorization of industrial by-products in civil engineering is a common practice either by their incorporation during the manufacture of Portland cements or as a partial replacement of cement during the production of concrete. The present work aims to develop waste-based alkali-activated materials WAAMs intended for civil engineering applications as a potential alternative to cement-based materials. A steel industrial by-product called commonly granulated blast furnace slag GBFS was used alone as a solid CaO-rich precursor; two alkaline activators such us sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used separately for the production of two-part alkali-activated materials. Besides the microstructure analysis of the hardened samples, the influence of activator/precursor mass ratio, NaOH molarity, and two curing environments (Room temperature and 60°C) on the compressive strength, water accessible porosity, mass loss, and drying shrinkage were assessed. The results showed that a high Liquid/Solid ratio leads to a decrease in the compressive strength of the samples, while high NaOH molarity significantly improves the mechanical properties by reducing the porosity of the specimens. Moreover, alkaline silicate activator provides higher compressive strengths compared to the alkaline hydroxide activator, especially when the samples were cured at room temperature where a maximum 28days-compressive strength value of 105.28 MPa was achieved. For the samples activated using sodium hydroxide solution, the results revealed that their curing at 60°C promotes obtaining high initial-compressive strengths (7 days) before decreasing subsequently as a function of the curing time. As an indication, at high alkaline concentration (NaOH = 9M), a mechanical strength decline of 21% was recorded between a curing time of 7 to 28 days. Moreover, curing at 60°C induced high porosity, significant mass loss and high drying shrinkage. SEM analysis highlighted a dense, homogeneous microstructure without apparent defects, in particular for the samples where the alkali silicate activator was used.

Abstract This work presents a comprehensive study consisting of two aspects: a numerical analytical aspect and a laboratory experimental aspect. The numerical study was a three-dimensional finite element numerical analysis of performance of corroded and horizontally cracked aluminium plates, which were repaired by composite patching. The effect of the composite types on the variance of the damaged area of the adhesive (FM-73) and their efficiency on the stress intensity factor were studied. In the experimental study, corroded aluminium plates were prepared and repaired them using technology of the composite. The results showed that the panels that were repaired with composite (boron/epoxy) give values of stress intensity factor (KI) and damaged area ratio (DR) less than the other two studied composites (glass/epoxy and graphite/epoxy), and increase the ultimate strength of plates damage, and this leads to the conclusion that (Boron/epoxy) increases the performance and durability of (Al 2017-A) plates.

: The building and construction sector has a significant impact on the environment due to its high consumption of energy resources and increasing levels of emissions, and pollution. According to the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-HABITAT), the energy used by buildings and construction accounts for more than a third of the final energy consumed in the world and a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions. African countries such as Burkina Faso are concerned in this reality in the field of building. This is why the major issue in the tropic today is the construction of new buildings with high environmental quality and high energy performance. Today's construction choices will have an impact on future generations. The technique and materials of a building contribute to the health, safety and comfort of people. In the present work, the operating temperature and the PMV/PPD indices in a Nubian vault were determined. The operating temperature and the PMV/PPD indices are indicators of thermal comfort. Thus, the knowledge of these indicators allows to appreciate the state of comfort in the Nubian vault. It is in this perspective that the operating temperature will be determined by the adaptive method. The Fanger model is used for the determination of the PMV/PPD indexes. From the state of sensation obtained, acceptable ambient conditions can be defined for an individual in a tropical zone. As an alternative, the most suitable construction type and building materials could be recommended for each type of climate.

Abstract Plasma welding is characterized by a high concentration of energy, which allows for high welding speed and leads to less distortion and residual stresses compared to conventional welding processes. Due to the local and controlled heat input, the process is suitable for sheet metal from ≈ 0.1 mm (micro plasma) up to ≈ 10 mm. In the case of aluminum and its alloys, the natural aluminum oxide layer on the metal surface limits the productivity of the plasma welding process. The electrically isolating and thermally insulating Al2O3 layer has a significantly higher melting point compared to the aluminum (Tm(Al2O3) = 2072 °C vs. Tm(Al) = 660 °C). The oxide layer hinders the formation of a stable arc and can even impede the joining formation. In order to remove the oxide layer and to produce quality welds with a DC process, it is necessary to weld with reverse polarity to use the principle of cathodic surface cleaning. However, this leads to increased electrode wear and increased penetration depth, which is not always desirable. In the study presented, the use of silane to reduce the oxygen content in the welding atmosphere as well as to remove the natural aluminum oxide layer on the metal surface was investigated. As previous studies have shown that the use of silane-doped plasma-gases is suitable for removing the superficial oxide layer on aluminum components, high-quality welded joints were expected. Quality welds with sufficient dilution were achieved using a transferred arc silane-doped helium plasma. In contrast, welding with an argon-silane mixture led to excessive pores formation. Additionally challenges to stabilize the arc process were identified and ramifications with respect to process optimization are discussed.
与传统焊接工艺相比,等离子焊接具有能量高度集中、焊接速度快、变形小、残余应力小的特点。由于局部和可控的热输入,该工艺适用于≈0.1 mm(微等离子体)至≈10 mm的金属板材。就铝及其合金而言,金属表面的天然氧化铝层限制了等离子焊接工艺的生产率。与铝相比,电隔离和隔热的Al2O3层具有明显更高的熔点(Tm(Al2O3) = 2072°C vs Tm(Al) = 660°C)。氧化层阻碍了稳定电弧的形成,甚至阻碍了连接的形成。为了去除氧化层,用直流工艺生产出高质量的焊缝,有必要利用阴极表面清洗原理进行反极性焊接。然而,这会导致电极磨损增加和穿透深度增加,这并不总是理想的。在本研究中,研究了利用硅烷降低焊接气氛中的氧含量以及去除金属表面天然氧化铝层的方法。以往的研究表明,使用掺杂硅烷的等离子体气体去除铝部件表面的氧化层是合适的,高质量的焊接接头有望实现。利用转移电弧掺杂硅烷的氦等离子体获得了充分稀释的高质量焊缝。相反,用氩气-硅烷混合物焊接会导致形成过多的气孔。此外,确定了稳定电弧过程的挑战,并讨论了与工艺优化有关的后果。

Abstract An effective means for improvement of technical and economic indicators of EAF DC are graphitized cored electrodes, designed at the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute. The research works of the first stage, carried out in the industrial furnaces of the type EAF DC-12, showed that the arc of the cored electrode is always maintained in the center of the electrode, a stable electric mode of melting is provided on long arcs and low voltages of the power source. It was established that the voltage in the near cathode area, as well as the range of current and voltage pulsation of the cored electrode arc is significantly lower than in the standard (monolithic) graphitized electrode. These factors determined the saving of active energy, reduction of reactive power losses, increase in cos φ and reduction of the furnace noise level

These factors determined the saving of active energy, reduction of reactive power losses, increase in cos φ and reduction of the furnace noise level","PeriodicalId":7327,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81058469","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}
