Effect of deep cryogenic treatment on surface integrity and dimensional stabi...eSAT Journals
Abstract Deep cryogenic treatment is an add-on process to conventional heat treatment in which material is treated at cryogenic temperature. The mechanical properties of the tool steel are significantly improved by Deep Cryogenic treatment. Surface integrity and dimensional stability is having greater impact on the functional performance of the tool during service conditions. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of deep cryogenic treatment on the surface integrity and dimensional stability of the D2 tool steel. The metallographic samples and Navy C Rings of D2 Tool steel were treated at cryogenic temperature of -1930C after hardening and tempering. Results have shown improvement in surface roughness. The improved surface roughness is attributed to the release of tensile residual stresses and more precipitation and uniform distribution of fine secondary carbides. DCT have higher shape distortion than CHT. The distortions in DCT can be attributed to the section sensitivity of D2 Tool steel. Keywords: Surface integrity, distortion, precipitation of secondary carbides, section sensitivity
Micro-structural and Tribological Behaviour of AA6063/12SiC-5Gr Hybrid Compos...ijsrd.com
In this paper the friction and wear behavior of aluminium matrix reinforced with silicon carbide and graphite is investigated. A pin on disc type apparatus is used to measure the sliding wear rate (WR), the frictional force (F) and the coefficient of friction (μ). Friction and wear behavior of the hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMC) have been investigated at various loads, sliding velocity and constant sliding distance. The applied loads are 20N, 40N, 60N and 80 N respectively, sliding speeds are 1.5 m/sec and 3 m/sec and the sliding distance is 1500 m. The aluminium based MMC has been produced by stir casting technique. AA6063 with 12SiC-5Gr composite is machined to the required size. Optical microscope is used for investigating the microstructure and surface properties of the specimen. The addition of graphite and silicon carbide reinforcement to AA 6063 alloy increases the wear resistance and hardness of the composites.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A356 BASED COMPO...sathish sak
Recently friction stir processing (FSP) has emerged as an effective tool for enhancing sheet metal properties through microstructure modification. Significant grain refinement and homogenization can be achieved in a single FSP pass leading to improved formability, especially at elevated temperatures.
FSP is a solid-state process where the material within the processed zone undergoes intense plastic deformation resulting in dynamically recrystallized grain structure.
Most of the research conducted on FSP focuses on aluminum alloys. Despite the potential weight reduction that can be achieved using Titanium dioxide(B4C) alloys.
In this work, we examine the possibility of using FSP to modify the microstructure and properties of commercial A356-B4C alloy particles. The effect of various process parameters on thermal histories, resulting microstructure and properties to be investigated.
Analysis of Conditions in Boundary Lubrications Using Bearing MaterialsIJMER
In order to clearly establish the tribological potential of these alloys as bearing materials, the tribological parameters of the RAR Zn-Al alloys are compared to parameters of the CuPb15Sn8 lead-tin bronze, as a widely applied conventional bearing material. Existing Bearing of connecting rod is manufactured by using non ferrous materials like Gunmetal, Phosphor Bronze etc.. This paper describes the tribological behavior analysis for the conventional materials i.e. Brass and Gunmetal as well as New non metallic material Cast Nylon. Friction and Wear are the most important parameters to decide the
performance of any bearing. In this paper attempt is made to check major tribological parameters for three material and try to suggest better new material compared to conventional existing material.

Annealing Response of Aluminum Alloy AA6014 Processed By Severe Plastic Defor...IRJESJOURNAL
Abstract: In this paper the study of micro structural stability during annealing with respect to time of conventionally grains (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) of Aluminum AA6014 i s carried out. It has been observed that, the effect of the second phase magnesium-silicon particles in the CG and UFG AA6014 samples leads to a rapid hardness which increases from 40HV10 to 70HV10 within 7 days. Artificial aging shows that the material hardness even increased after 20 hours of annealing at 180°C. In total 30 hours of annealing, the hardness arrives at its maximum and then reduces due to the formation of Mg2Si precipitates, which rise in size and change their coherency. The precipitates cannot efficiently pin the dislocations and act as barriers to the dislocation motion which indicate an overall decrease in the hardness. It also has been found that the ultrafinegrained AA6014 alloy loses its thermal stability at approximately 200°C and recrystallized at 300°C. Thermal stability is strongly dependent on the material purity, second phase particles and/or oxide particles which may break up during rolling and lead to some dispersion strengthening.
Experimental investigation on buckling of GFRP cylindrical shells subjected t...IOSR Journals
Composite cylindrical shells are being used in submarine, underground mines, aerospace applications and other civil engineering applications. Thin cylindrical shells are more prone to fail in buckling rather than material failure. An experimental study on buckling of glass fiber reinforced plastics layered composite cylindrical shells under displacement and load controlled static axial compression are reported The experimental results are compared with general purpose finite element program (ANSYS). Limit point loads evaluated for geometric imperfection magnitudes shows an excellent agreement with experimental results which clearly indicates the confidence gained on the numerical results presented. Present study finds direct application to qualitatively investigate the influence of geometric imperfection on other advanced grid-stiffened structures.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

PART IX JOINTING OF AUTOCLAVED CELLULAR
CONCRETE ELEMENTS
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part IX ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 22 March 1973, after the draft finalized by the Cement and
Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 Autoclaved cellular concrete is a class of material, which has been
developed commercially abroad and is in the process of development in this
country also. A series of Indian Standards on cellular concrete is being
formulated so as to provide guidance in obtaining reliable products in
autoclaved cellular concrete. The Sectional Committee has considered it
desirable to issue a standard for the methods of tests for autoclaved cellular
concrete products for the guidance of manufacturers and users.
0.3 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing in
different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field in this
country.
0.4 For’ convenience of reference, ‘ Indian Standard methods of tests for
autoclaved cellular concrete products ’ has been grouped into the following
nine parts:
Part I Determination of unit weight or bulk density and moisture
content
Part II Determination of drying shrinkage
Part III Determination of thermal conductivity
Part IV Corrosion protection of steel reinforcement in autoclaved
cellular concrete
Part V Determination of compressive strength
Part VI Strength, deformation and cracking of flexural members
subject to bending-short duration loading rest

Part VII Strength, deformation and cracking of flexural, members
subject to bending-sustained loading test.
Part VIII Loading tests for flexural members in diagonal tension
Part IX Jointing of autoclaved cellular concrete elements
0.5 In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with
this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off,
it shall be done in accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part IX ) covers the procedure for testing the jointing
of autoclaved cellular concrete flexural members, such as, floor and roof slabs.
2. TEST SPECIMENS
2.1 Size of Specimens - For determining the strength of joints a series,
consisting of 3 specimens shall be tested. Each specimen shall consist of
S element parts conforming in all respects to the requirements of the relevant
Indian Standard ( or the requirements specified by the manufacturer )
in respect of shape and dimensions, but of length 0.5 m ( see Fig. 1 ) jointed
together.
2.1.1 Temperature of Specimen - The temperature of the specimen shall
not be materially different from the ambient temperature in which it is
being tested and in any case not less than 0°C.
2.1.2 Moisture Content of Specimen - The moisture content of the concrete
during the test should be indicated and should be not less than 10 perceht
by weight when determined in accordance with IS : 6441
1972t.
( Part 1 ) -
2.2 Jointing-The jointing shall be done in accordance with the direc-
tions of the manufacturer. If the manufacturer has prescribed a modified
method of jointings for use in cold weather, the specimens jointed in that
way shall also be tested in accordance with this procedure.
2.2.1 When no jointing material is required for interaction of loading
between the adjacent elements, the jointing of specimens shall be done
without the jointing material in accordance with the directions of the
manufacturer.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).
