Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials by chemical reaction with the environment, usually affecting metals. Cathodic protection is a method of corrosion control that protects buried or submerged metallic structures by supplying an external cathodic current to move the structure's electrochemical potential into the immune range. There are two main types of cathodic protection systems - sacrificial anode systems which use more reactive "sacrificial" metals to corrode instead of the protected structure, and impressed current systems which use an external DC source and insoluble anodes to supply current to the structure. Cathodic protection is widely used to protect structures like pipelines, storage tanks, ship hulls, and reinforced concrete.
Anodic protection for corrosion preventionBapi Mondal
Anodic protection is a corrosion prevention technique that works by making a metal the anode of an electrochemical cell and controlling its electrode potential to maintain passivity. It involves using a potentiostat to apply a constant potential to the metal relative to a reference electrode, keeping the metal in the passive region of its polarization curve where corrosion rates are low. This technique is effective for metals that exhibit active-passive behavior like steel, and is commonly used to protect tanks containing highly corrosive chemicals where cathodic protection would require too much current.

Experimental Investigation of the Residual Stress and calculate Average Fatig...IJMER
Shot peening procedures developed over the ago in substantial improvements of fatigue properties and Fatigue life. The use of shot peening on aluminium 7075-T6 plates to improve fatigue properties and improve resistance to stress on the corrosion cracking with help of glass beads and various peening methods. When these components subsequently are loaded in tension or bending to a
stress level in the range below the required for yield, the actual tensile stress at the surface is lower than
that calculated on the basis of load and cross sectional area. Fatigue are major problem which normally
start at or near the surface stressed in tension, thus processes that produce residual surface compressive
stresses in components usually enhance the resistance to fatigue. The impact of glass shots which create
resistance after the shot penning process carried out and also control the effects of failure on aluminium

Friction stir welding is a solid state joining process that was invented in 1991. It involves a non-consumable rotating tool that is plunged into metal materials to join them. Frictional heat generated by the tool plasticizes the materials without melting them. As the tool traverses along the weld line, it forges the plasticized materials behind the tool to form a joint. Compared to fusion welding, friction stir welding produces joints with lower heat input and narrow heat affected zones. It can weld a variety of materials, including aluminum alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys, and plastics.
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are strong, corrosion resistant materials that lack a crystalline microstructure. While BMGs offer advantages like high strength and formability, they are also brittle and expensive to produce. Current applications are limited to niche uses where properties like biocompatibility or magnetism are valuable. However, research continues on utilizing BMGs in composites or developing new alloys to improve ductility and toughness for applications in aerospace, precision tools, and more. Challenges remain in reducing cost and brittleness for widespread structural use.
Corrosion is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metal materials due to their interaction with the environment. It is a complex process influenced by physical, chemical, metallurgical, electrochemical, and thermodynamic factors. Cathodic protection is a technique used to reduce corrosion of metal surfaces by making them the cathode of an electrochemical cell. It involves connecting the metal structure to be protected to an external source of electrons (anode) to prevent corrosion at the anode site. Common methods of cathodic protection include impressed current cathodic protection using external power sources and sacrificial anode cathodic protection using reactive metals like zinc and magnesium as anodes.

Annealed SS 409M contains ferrite and low percentage of tempered martensite whereas normalized SS 409M has low ferrite and higher percentage of tempered martensite. The manufacturing cost for this steel is low as compared to other grades of stainless steel but it has high strength with excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and can be easily fabricated. Thus SS 409M has been found to be a suitable material for replacing mild steel in structural applications. SS 409M has also got good wear resistance and this can be considered as an alternate material for mild steel in the railway wagons, track armor, and chemical tanks. The dry wear test has been carried out using the pin on disc machine for all the specimens. The results show that 409M has higher wear resistance as compared to mild steel and SS 430. The corrosion test has been carried out using the potentiostat for SS 409M both in annealed and in the normalized condition and the results are compared with SS 430 and SS 304. SS 304 and SS 430 stainless steels show excellent corrosion resistance while SS 409M both in annealed and in normalized condition reveal higher corrosion resistance than mild steel. Results are discussed with published work on these steels. Keywords: SS 409M, SS 409M, SS 430, SS 304

Mild steel chains are commonly used for ship anchors and cranes but are susceptible to corrosion from saltwater exposure. Alternatives to chromium plating were investigated. Nickel, zinc, and magnesium were selected for their properties. The coating was applied via electrodeposition at 30°C, 50°C, and 70°C and characterized using SEM, EDS, XRD, and corrosion/wear tests. Results showed the coating improved corrosion resistance and lifetime of the steel chains.
IRJET- Effect of Soft Annealing on Copper, Brass and GunmetalIRJET Journal
The document analyzes the effect of soft annealing on copper, brass, and gunmetal samples. Rockwell hardness tests were performed before and after annealing samples at 850°C. Brass was found to be the hardest before annealing, while copper was hardest after annealing. Microstructure images showed grain refinement in copper after annealing but no visible changes in brass. Gunmetal samples developed cracks and pores after annealing. Wear tests found copper to be most resistant to wear, followed by brass, with gunmetal being the least resistant due to cracks and pores developed during annealing. In conclusion, annealing increased ductility and workability while decreasing hardness, with copper retaining higher hardness and wear resistance compared to brass and gunmetal after annealing.

In induction hardening, thermal fatigue is one of the main failure modes of induction heating coils. There have been papers published that describe this failure mode and others that describe some good design practices [1-3]. The variables previously identified as the sources of thermal fatigue include radiation from the part surface, frequency, current, concentrator losses, water pressure and coil wall thickness. However, there is very little quantitative data on the factors that influence thermal fatigue in induction coils available in the public domain. By using finite element analysis software this study analyzes the effect of common design variables of inductor cooling, and quantifies the relative importance of these variables. A comprehensive case study for a single shot induction coil with Fluxtrol A concentrator applied is used for the analysis.
This study investigated the effect of three iron-based hardfacing electrodes - Hard Alloy 400, Hardloy III, and Hardloy V - on the properties of stainless steel when applied using shielded metal arc welding. Single and double layers of each electrode were deposited. Microhardness, wear resistance, and microstructure of the samples were then analyzed. Microhardness was found to increase by 1.7x, 2x, and 2.4x for the three electrodes respectively. Wear resistance improved by 29%, 60%, and 66% respectively. Microstructure analysis revealed that Hardloy V samples had the finest and most uniform grain structure, corresponding to the highest hardness and lowest wear rate. In conclusion, Hardloy V electrode

The repaired beams were re-tested and their cracking loads, ultimate loads, and deflections were compared to the original beams. Test results showed that beams with two bottom layers of ferrocement overlay performed comparatively better in strengthening the beams. The study demonstrated that ferrocement layers can
A REVIEW OF STUDY ON CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF ZINC COATED MILD STEELIRJET Journal
The document reviews studies on the corrosion behavior of zinc-coated mild steel. Zinc coating is commonly used to protect mild steel from corrosion by acting as a sacrificial anode. Several techniques for applying zinc coatings are discussed, including electroplating, cold spraying, and using zinc alloys. Research has found that zinc coatings improve corrosion resistance of mild steel in various environments like salt water. Thicker zinc coatings and post-treatment processes like heat treatment can further enhance corrosion protection. Zinc-coated mild steel performs better than uncoated mild steel in corrosive environments.
This document is a damage stress analysis report for a bow thruster assembly that was involved in an underwater collision. It summarizes the solidworks model of the assembly, details an FEA mesh and collision simulation with a rocky bottom, and analyzes the maximum stresses on the struts. Resonant frequency analyses were also conducted, identifying three vibration modes that could lead to propeller blade flutter or collisions with the cowling. The conclusions recommend strengthening the support struts and performing qualification testing over the full speed range.
This document discusses vibration testing of equipment and whether cross-axis motion during testing is significant. It notes that vibration tests are usually done in three perpendicular axes but that overturning moments can cause responses in axes perpendicular to the one being excited. Modal analysis and vibration testing of a laser electronics assembly showed that cross-axis responses could be a significant fraction of the in-line responses, with quality factors ranging from 4 to 58. The conclusions are that orthogonal vibration testing does not guarantee orthogonal peak responses and that fatigue calculations should include all axial responses.
This document summarizes the assembly process for a ceramic microwave resonator cavity using a shrink fit technique. Key steps include heating the aluminum housing to expand it, inserting the ceramic puck using an alignment fixture, and allowing the assembly to cool which causes the housing to contract around the puck, holding it firmly in place through compression. Finite element analysis confirms the ceramic is held safely in compression while the housing experiences some permanent plastic deformation within its yield strength to form an interference fit.
This document discusses myths and best practices for packaging shock sensitive electronic components. It notes that shock levels measured in G units for components do not necessarily translate to the same exposure levels for those components when mounted in a system. The document recommends establishing system-level shock requirements, obtaining component shock specifications, designing mounts, and using modeling to calculate dynamic response of components in a system. It provides an example where modeling showed a crystal oscillator experienced 70Gs of shock in a system designed for a 50G specification, due to mounting factors. It concludes systems have many dynamic factors that influence component-level responses to shock.
The document analyzes the potential for lead cracking in a TQFP32 package under vibration testing. A Solidworks simulation modeled the package and circuit board to determine major resonances and peak lead stresses. The simulation found a package resonance at 50kHz from lead frame and package bending. HALT testing was predicted to induce a peak lead stress of 65,000 psi, above the copper alloy's endurance limit of 20,000 psi, indicating a potential for fatigue cracking in the leads from the hammer blows.
A flexible coupling for torque transmission between misaligned shafts is proposed. Finite element stress analysis was used to estimate the life of a 0.2-0.3 inch coupling made of mild alloy steel with a 0.01 inch helical cut to manage shaft misalignment. The analysis applied torque loading and misalignment conditions to determine the stress loading and distortion over the expected range of service life.
This document discusses how to increase the natural frequency of a graphics card assembly to reduce vibration. It shows that doubling the weight by adding a stiff heatsink that also provides cooling doubled the natural frequency. The goals are to increase stiffness and decrease mass to raise the ratio of stiffness to mass. A base graphics card had a frequency of 16hz, adding a retention bracket raised it to 18hz, and incorporating an aluminum heatsink and fans increased the frequency to 32hz while doubling the weight.
Stiffening of a shock lab test chassisDon Blanchet
A document summarizes the testing of a lightweight chassis to reduce shock pulse deflection. The baseline perforated steel design resulted in a deflection of 9.46E-04 inches. Modifying the critical instrument mounting plate to be non-perforated reduced the deflection to 9.57E-05 inches, a 10 times reduction. Stress on the modified design was well below the yield point, indicating no damage is expected.
This document discusses cordwood discrete component electronic packaging used in the 1950s-1960s. Cordwood modules involved stacking electronic components vertically in a cylindrical housing using insulating standoffs, allowing for high packaging density. Early implementations like guidance electronics in missiles had very short service lives due to high vibration levels from tactical use. Modifications like adding mounting feet and spacers could significantly increase the first modal frequency and reduce stresses, resulting in an estimated service life of over 175 hours for applications like tactical jet fighters.
A finite element analysis was conducted to simulate the effects of Category 5 hurricane winds on a highway sign. The 3D solidworks model represented the steel construction and bolted connections to concrete supports. The FEA mesh and 200 mph steady wind loading predicted over 2 inches of permanent deformation and stress exceeding the steel yield point near the base of vertical supports, indicating failure. More advanced dynamic analysis was recommended to predict vibration from wind turbulence.
This document summarizes a finite element analysis of a 10-blade plastic fan design for JK Locowitz Aero Ltd. The analysis found the first resonance mode of the fan blades at 672.99 Hz, corresponding to a fan speed of around 42,000 RPM, well above the target design speed of 7,000 RPM. While there is a very low risk of resonance at the target speed, the document recommends initial prototypes be tested up to 10,000 RPM to establish a safety margin.
This document summarizes a study on bolt failures in a heavy steel lap shear joint. The goals were to evaluate grade 5 bolts currently in use, demonstrate sequential bolt failure, determine maximum load capacity, and calculate a safety factor for a heavy lift rigging fixture. Testing of an assembly with 8 bolts found failures at 2 bolts and 6000 lbs of load. Testing of an assembly with 6 bolts found failures at 4 bolts and 6000 lbs of load, indicating complete failure would occur at 3 tons of load. The document recommends stamping the plates with a maximum 1.5 ton load and changing to higher strength Grade 8 bolts to increase the bolt safety factor of 1.2 to an acceptable 1.5.
The document discusses using finite element simulation to model the structural design of the Santa Maria's wooden hull and frames. It details creating a CAD model from historical plans, meshing frame section #25, and running simulations applying 2 tons of lateral loading. The simulation found the oak frame experienced maximum stress of 7100 psi and deformation of 0.040 inches, while aluminum and steel alternatives had higher strengths but also higher weights. The conclusion is that modern metals provide significant design strength margins but at a large penalty in increased weight for this hull component.
The document describes a dual-level vibration isolation system designed to increase noise isolation for an RF electronics assembly. It aims to provide a low-cost solution that can be introduced into forward production to enhance electrical performance. Simulation results show the system uses a 2 degrees of freedom design with two levels of isolation via rubber chassis isolators and rubber grommet isolators. Frequency response plots indicate peak isolations of 135 Hz and 65 Hz across three input axes.
The document describes a nonlinear finite element analysis of an automotive CV joint rubber boot. The analysis used Solidworks Simulation 2017 to model the rubber material's incompressible behavior and applied torsion and tension loads. The 150,000 degree of freedom mesh predicted a maximum stress of 5,500 psi and deformation of 0.095 inch, exceeding the material's 3,000 psi tensile strength and indicating local tearing failure.
The document analyzes the stress on piston and connecting rod components from increasing the compression ratio on a small block V8 engine from 9:1 to 11:1. Finite element analysis showed that at a 9:1 ratio the maximum stress was 45,810 psi, while an 11:1 ratio would cause maximum stress of 105,400 psi, below the alloy steel safety factor of 90,000 psi. The conclusion is that increasing the ratio to 11:1 would likely cause cracking and failure of the connecting rod.
This document summarizes the nonlinear finite element analysis of a silicone rubber gasket conducted using Solidworks Simulation 2015. The analysis used nonlinear material properties and geometric nonlinearity to model the incompressible and bulging behavior of rubber under compression. The model was meshed and subjected to a 0.035 inch displacement in the -Z direction. The results showed a maximum displacement including sliding and buckling, and a maximum stress of 234 psi, which is below the material strength of 700-800 psi. Revision A changed the material to a 70 durometer silicone rubber.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
