Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess significantly improved properties including highspecific strength; specific modulus, damping capacity and good wear resistance compared to unreinforced alloys. There has been an increasing interest in composites containing low density and low cost reinforcements. Among various discontinuous dispersoids used, fly ash is one of the most inexpensive and low density reinforcement available in large quantities as solid waste by-product during combustion of coal in thermal power plants. Hence, composites with fly ash as reinforcement are likely to overcome the cost barrier for wide spread applications in automotive and small engine applications.

Composites are highly efficient to make the parts and structure of aircrafts. We found the characteristics of the composite material make it very suitable material for aerospace industry. Composites like carbon fiber, carbon epoxy, and glass epoxy are very light and high strength which is mostly used in aircraft industries. In addition, our study takes the first step to highlight the uses of composite material to manufacture the different parts of aircraft's.
Metal matrix composites with high specific stiffness and strength could be used in applications in which saving weight is an important factor. Included in this category are robots, high-speed machinery, and high-speed rotating shafts for ships

Waste Minimization and Cost Reduction in Process Industriesijsrd.com
The complete process of iron angles processing; machining and coating by Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd. has been studied in detail. The different phases of production of the iron/steel angles include automation, CNC machines, Robo arms, overhead cranes and other mechanical equipments. After the straightening, shearing, punching, stamping, heating & bending operations are performed upon the different sections; each set of parts follow a sequence of processes. Once the sections are done with the machining processes, they follow the hot dip galvanization process. Surface Fluxing is the primary stage; followed by Steel Galvanizing and finally dichromate quenching. All the sections are arranged in their respective jigs. These structures or frames are handled by the overhead cranes and dipped in various tubs and lifted from them. Initially, the sections perform hot caustic degreasing followed by Hydrochloric acid pickling. Now these sections are rinsed in water and then soaked in a hot pre-flux. Before dipping into the Zinc tub, these sections are dried in the oven so that wet sections do not splash zinc off the tub. After taking out from the zinc tub, it is quenched in warm water. In the final step of this phase, all these sections are submerged into the dichromate solution to emboss a glossy texture. Here, in the whole coating process, it happens that the sections are to be immersed into various liquid tubs. So, when removing them out, many of the sections fail to be retrieved and remain inside the tub. So this decreases the production though negligible but with a feasible solution, it appears to be worth practicing. The objective of the project is to reduce the loss of iron angles and molten zinc during the coating of iron angles before dispatching.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Case study for material selection (Automobile Silencer)
1. G.H.PATEL COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
AND TECHNOLOGY
Made By: Nishit Karkar, Kalp Shah
Enrollment No. : 160110120024, 160110120055
Branch: Mechatronics
Semester: 3rd
Course Title: Principles of Material Science and
Physical Metallurgy
Course Code: 2132004
Acadamic Year: 2017-18{odd}
3. What is Automobile Silencer?
Automobile Silencer is a device used to reduce the noise
produced by the engine.
Silencer is used in automobile vehicles to reduce the noise
produced by the exhaust gases of the engine. Silencer is
also used in many other engines and generators.
The size, shape and construction varies according to the
type and size of the engine.
4. TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Process of Manufacture:
The process of manufacturing auto silencer does not involve any special
technology, it is a simple press working process. The sheets are cut into the
required size and shape. These sheets are then given the desired shape with the
help of power presses, edge folding machines and bending rollers. The mufflers
are also made out of sheet with the help of presses. These mufflers are then gas
welded in one half of the silencer, the other half of the silencer with MS tubing’s
according to the requirement and are gas welded. These are now assembled and
spray painted. The silencers are then cleaned and packed for dispatch.
Quality Control and Standards:
Good workmanship and best quality of raw material must be used to satisfy the
consumers.
Pollution Control:
The assembled product will be spray painted or nickel plated for which
arrangements for exhaust fans will be made in the plating section.
5. Purpose of Silencer
Automotive silencer should sustain vibration generated due
to high pressure exhaust gas.
An automotive requires a silencer to reduce the amount of
noise emitted by a vehicle.
Silencers use neat technology to cancel out the noise.
Silencers are installed along the exhaust pipe as a part of the
exhaust system of an I.C. engine to reduce its exhaust noise.
The silencer reduces exhaust noise by dampening the
pulsations in the exhaust gases and allowing them to expand
slowly.
6. Working requirements of an silencer
The maximum temperature in an automobile exhaust system is around
750-850 degree Celsius. So the selected material for manufacturing the
exhaust system should be able to handle temperatures in this range.
Also there are various other corrosion factors like high temperature
oxidation, de-icing, salt contamination and wet corrosion by
condensates.
Normally, ferrous alloys are used in the manufacturing of exhaust
system. These include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steels and
cast iron.
The purpose of adding alloying elements is to help in solid solution
strengthening of ferrite, improve the corrosion resistance and other
characteristics and the cause the precipitation of alloy carbides.
7. Mild carbon steel was extensively used for the manufacturing of exhaust systems for
a considerable period of time. Although mild steel has the properties to withstand
exhaust temperature it has very poor corrosion resistance. High exposure to road salt
and exhaust condensate can terribly shorten the life span of a mild steel based
exhaust system.
Also, over the years higher demands in power and environmental safety have seen
the demise of mild steel from exhaust systems. Nowadays mild steel is employed in
applications where the environment is non-corrosive.
Materials used for manufacturing of exhaust systems should have the following
characteristics:
High service temperature, high fatigue strength, high fracture toughness,
should be easily Machinable and should be economic considering the overall cost of
the automobile. Also, the material should be highly resistive to corrosion.
Failure in the exhaust system can cause loss of back pressure which can significantly
affect engine performance parameters.
8. Criteria for Material selection of silencer
No two materials have the same properties and the choice is usually decided
by the best possible combination of material properties and economical
factors which necessitates an optimum solution. Material selection task
requires a through and scientific approach and the following major aspects
need to be satisfied:
a) Functional properties: The correct combination of mechanical, physical
and chemical properties to meet the function and operating conditions of the
component.
b) Manufacturing properties: Processing or fabrication properties of the
material for the conversion processes needed to convert the material into
required shape, such as ease of casting, forming, joining, and machining.
c) Economic: Cost of the material as well as cost of processing the material
into required shape. As part of overall economics, both availability and
recycling aspect should also be taken into account.
9. An additional factor in selecting a material for a particular component is
consideration of the manufacturing process. A process must be found that is
capable of making the component shape, with the correct accuracy, and with an
acceptable cost.
In reality, both material and process selection must be considered
simultaneously since not all materials are compatible with every process.
For example steel, nickel and titanium cannot be die cast, ceramic materials
cannot be machined using conventional techniques and the complexity of
component shape limits the process choice further.
10. Metal combinations presently used
Worldwide
•Aluminized steel:
Aluminized steel is an attempt to make the
metal more corrosion resistant. The
aluminized coating oxidizes to protect the
underlying metal (like galvanized metal).
However, any abrasion that removes this
coating compromises the underlying steel
and can allow rust to set in.
•Stainless steel:
Several grades of stainless steel are used on
aftermarket exhaust systems, particularly
the muffler and tips. Stainless steel offers
some protection against weathering and
damage, but it will also eventually rust.
11. •Cast iron: Cast iron is used mostly in stock exhaust
systems, and is used to manufacture the exhaust manifold
that connects the engine to the piping. Cast iron is very
strong, but very heavy. It will also eventually rust and can
become brittle over time.
•Other metals: There are many other metals used in
automotive exhaust systems, but they’re generally used
as alloy materials with steel or iron in order to promote
better corrosion resistance. These include chromium,
nickel, manganese, copper and titanium.
12. Common alloying elements for Stainless Steel
used in Silencer
Element Effect
Chromium
Essential in forming the passive film. Oxidation resistance
increases at Cr levels above 10.5%
High Cr content can adversely affect mechanical properties,
fabric ability and weld ability
Nickel
Stabilize the austenitic structure to enhance mechanical
properties and fabrication characteristics
Resistance to stress-corrosion cracking is poorest at
approximately 8 to 10% Ni but is restored at levels of about
30% Ni
Can minimize damage of surface oxide during temperature
cycling
13. Element Effect
Manganese
In moderate quantities and when nickel is present,
performs many of the functions attributed to nickel
Interacts with sulphur to form manganese sulphides
which can effect corrosion resistance
Can improve the adhesion of oxide film and improve
oxidation resistance
Molybdenum
In combination with chromium is very effective for
passive film stabilization in the presence of chlorides
Especially effective in increasing resistance to the
initiation of pitting and crevice corrosion
Carbon
Provides strength in the high-temperature applications
Detrimental to corrosion resistance through reaction with
chromium to form chromium carbides
Detrimental to toughness in ferrite grades
14. Criteria For Material Selection Of
catalytic converters
Catalyst support materials have several required properties for
optimum operation.
These include mechanical strength for structural integrity
Low thermal capacity to reduce pre-heat time
High surface area for slurry adhesion.
Easily machineable for complex shape
and long-term oxidation resistance
15. Which material is necessary for catalytic
converter?
There are multiple ceramic and metallic material candidates for this
application, each with its respective benefits. Currently, ACS employs
a ferrite alloy termed Fe-Cr Alloy which satisfies many of the
requirements .
It has good ductility and formability during manufacturing.
High strength for mechanical stability during operation.
Low thermal capacity for shorter thermal start-up time .
This alloy is oxidized during manufacturing in order to provide a
surface morphology suitable for Al2O3 slurry adhesion.
16. How oxidation is done
This alloy is oxidized during manufacturing in order to
provide a surface morphology suitable for Al2O3 slurry
adhesion.
This occurs during heat treatment by aluminium diffusion
to the surface, oxidation, and subsequent growth of an α-
Al2O3surface layer, which provides a stable, high-surface
area structure.
Due to the high cost of the oxidation process and the
alloy, ACS is considering an alternative material
17. Which alternative material is used as
catalytic converter
SCR is comprised of a stainless steel sheet dip coated in a hot aluminium
bath with subsequent bright annealing.
The manufacturer claims this pre-oxidized surface provides sufficient slurry
coat adhesion as a catalyst support . A table with the compositions of alloy is
provided below
18. Comparison of 2 different materials used in
