Rational use of highly dispersed metal waste is an important issue of material science and environment protection. The quantity of the powdered metallic materials used in industry is steadily increasing they are especially widely used in the enterprises producing iron powders, in metal sheet production, as well as in abrasive machining. This paper presents an analysis of several kinds of metal waste such as iron and steel powders, mill scales, steel punching, metal shavings and other iron-containing waste from mechanical engineering and metallurgy industries, and the possibility of their use in the manufacturing of concrete products like fillers. This study investigates properties of the samples of the concrete manufactured using highly dispersed metallic fillers. The highest density obtained is in the range of 4000 - 4500 kg m3. The common characteristics of the aforementioned materials are their low cost, availability and thus the potential for large production volumes, need for recycling, and tendency to further oxidation and corrosion.

An Experimental Investigation on Concrete with Copper Slag using Corrosion Re...ijtsrd
This document presents the results of an experimental investigation on using copper slag as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. Various tests were conducted to examine the properties of concrete containing copper slag, including compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength at different curing periods. Corrosion resistance of the concrete was also evaluated using weight loss and acid resistance tests. The study found that concrete with a 40% replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag exhibited increased strength properties. However, further addition of copper slag resulted in reduced strength. Corrosion inhibitors were also tested at various dosage levels to reduce corrosion in the copper slag concrete.
Mechanical Behaviour of AA 6061-Ca2SiO3 Compositeijtsrd
The advantage of composite materials over non alloy virgin metals has been on the front burner in the engineering materials sphere. To this ends, various reinforcement materials are constantly been mixed with metal matrix to form new composite materials. Ca2SiO3 is a ceramic material which finds application in medicine, heat and noise insulation, acid remediation, cement production etc. since it possesses qualities needed for the formation of composites, and is largely not researched on, this study aimed to characterize the mechanical properties of the AA 6061 Ca2SiO3 composite for different composition of percentage mix, and to establish a model that would predict the UTS for known values of percentage mix and load. Result of the study shows that 6 Ca2SiO3 - 94 AA 6061 and 24 Ca2SiO3 - 76 AA 6061 possessed the highest modulus of elasticity and are stiffer while 2 Ca2SiO3 - 98 AA 6061 mix had the lowest modulus of elasticity, and is more ductile than other composition mix. Also, it was observed that addition of Ca2SiO3 to AA 6061 T4 greatly improves its mechanical properties and96.43 of the variations in stress experienced by various percentage composition of the composite mix can be explained by the developed model.

Analysis of mechanical properties of heat treated mild steelSaugata Chowdhury
The aim of this project was to make a comparison between the changes in mechanical properties of mild steel quenched in various quenching mediums namely Vegetable oil, Brine solution, NaOH solution and Super-quenchant. Mild-Steel specimens for hardness test, tensile test and impact test were prepared and heated upto the austenizing range of temperature. After holding at that temperature for the necessary sintering time, they were immediately quenched in the four mediums.
Upon carrying the various tests, it was observed that hardness of all the specimens increased at the expense of toughness. Further the rate of cooling influenced the hardness of the specimens. Specimens quenched in NaOH exhibited maximum increase in hardness and tensile strength of steel. Oil quenched steel showed rise in hardness and tensile strength with least decrease in toughness among the four mediums. Brine also improved the hardness and tensile strength but maximum reduction in toughness was encountered. Finally, superquenchant was found to be the best quenching medium with appreciable rise in the hardness and tensile strength at very less reduction in toughness.

Characterization and reuse avenues of bof slag as flux material in sinterIJARIIT
The present study “Characterization and Reuse avenues of BOF Slag as a flux material in sinter” are focused on waste
utilization for a sustainable growth and development. In an integrated steel plant, approximately 2-4 tonnes of wastes (including
solid, liquid and gas) are generated for every tonne of steel produced. Among all the wastes, slag generated at iron making and
steel making units are a key area of concern. With increasing capacities, the mechanism for disposal of large quantities of slag
that get generated have gained traction as the environmental issues that it could evoke could become critical for steel makers.
Over the last few years, with better understanding process there is a significant reduction in the volume of slag generated.
However, slag generation remains inevitable and emphasis on its recycling remains one of the most serious concerns that need
to be solved. Blast furnace granulated slag is a glassy aggregate and used as raw material for pozzolanic cement. But BOF
granulated slag is crystalline and less glassy phase compared to BF slag, so 100 % utilization as pozzalanic cement manufacture
is limited. Hence, alternate reuse avenues are under study at research or implementation level. The present topic is selected to
study the reuse avenues of BOF Slag as a flux material in sinter.
This document summarizes a research article that proposes a new rapid prototyping process called composite metal foil manufacturing (CMFM). CMFM combines laminated object manufacturing and soldering techniques to produce high-quality metal parts directly from CAD models using thin metal foils and solder paste.

It is shown that the excess carbide phase in Damascus steel is of an unusual nature origin that
differ from the excess phase of secondary cementite, ledeburite and primary cementite in iron-carbon alloys. It
is revealed that the morphological features of excess cementite in Damascus steel lies in the abnormal size of
excess carbides having the shape of irregular prisms. Discovered that the faceted angular carbides are formed
within the original of metastable ledeburite, so they are called "eutectic carbides". It is revealed that the
eutectic carbides angular forms have a stoichiometric composition equal to 35% carbonatoms and 65% of iron
atoms, which corresponds to the Epsilon-carbide Fe2C. Found that angular eutectic carbides in the Damascus
steel formed during long isothermal soaking at the annealing and subsequent deformation of ledeburite
structures. It is revealed that Damascus steel with is the carbon content in the region of white cast iron, no
contains in its structure of crushed ledeburite. It is shown that the pattern of carbide heterogeneity consists
entirely of angular eutectic carbides having an irregular trigonal-prismatic morphology.It is shown that
Damascus steel is non-alloy tool steel of ledeburite class, similar with structural characteristics of die steel of
ledeburite class and high-speed steel, differing from them only in the nature of excess carbide phase.
This thesis examines non-metallic inclusions in steel and their effect on steel properties. Chapter 1 introduces the need to study inclusions such as aluminum oxide, as their presence can negatively impact steel production processes and qualities. Inclusions form during steel deoxidation and solidification and remain challenges despite secondary metallurgy refinement. The goal of producing clean steel is discussed, as all steel contains some inclusions but their size and number influence properties. Upcoming chapters will review literature on inclusion formation, classification, and morphology, as well as experimental analysis of inclusions using microscopy and spectroscopy to characterize inclusions and understand steel cleanliness. The relationship between inclusions and steel properties will also be explored.
This document summarizes research on producing dissimilar metal composites of pure copper foil and 1050 aluminium using a process called Composite Metal Foil Manufacturing (CMFM). CMFM uses metal foils layered with a brazing paste, then heated and pressed to join the foils. Tests were conducted on lap shear joints of varying thickness, peel specimens, and tensile dog-bone specimens made by CMFM. Microstructural analysis showed a large proportion of bonded area between the foils. Comparative tensile tests found the CMFM aluminium-copper composite fractured at a load 11% higher than aluminium alone but lower than copper. This created a new composite material with properties between the original
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
Study of Wear Behavior of Aluminum based MMCs using Taguchi MethodsRSIS International
composite material is a material system composed of a mixture or combination of two or more micro or macro constituents that differ in form and chemical composition and which are essentially insoluble in each other. Stir casting method is used to fabricate Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) having fly ash in 3, 6, 9 wt% and e-glass fibre in 3 wt%. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted on composite material using a pin-on-disc wear testing setup with a normal pin load of 20N, 40N and 60N, and wear rate for each load is calculated for different sliding speeds. Analytical modelling of composite material is carried out by Taguchi’s design of experiments (DOE) using L27 orthogonal array. The experimental results were transformed into a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the design parameters significantly influencing the wear rate of the composite material. Based on the experimental results, a multiple linear regression model was developed. A regression equation thus generated establishes correlation between the significant terms obtained from ANOVA, namely, load, sliding speed, fly ash content and their interactions. In order to validate the regression model, confirmation wear tests were conducted with parameter levels that were different from those used for analysis. The error associated with the relationship between the experimental values and the computed values of the regression model for hybrid composites was around ±5%.
Duplex 2209 Weld Overlay by ESSC ProcessIJERA Editor
In the modern world of industrialization the wear is eating metal assets worth millions of dollars per year. The wear is in the form of corrosion, erosion, abrasion etc. which occur in the process industries like oil & gas, refineries, cement plants, steel plants, shipping and offshore working structures. The equipments like pressure vessels, heat exchangers, hydro processing reactors which very often work at elevated temperatures face corrosion in the internal diameter. Duplex 2209 weld overlay on ferrous material is developed for high corrosion resistance properties and having high productivity by Electroslag strip cladding process due to its less dilution ~10% as compared to SMAW , GTAW or FCAW process. Because of Low Dilution ~10% undiluted chemistry can be achieved with single layer as compared to other weld overlay processes. The facility was developed inhouse to carry out weld overlay by ESSC and Testing.
Stainless steel is one of the most important materials in the engineering world. The material‟s wide applications in chemical, petrochemical, off-shore, and power generation plants prove that it is one of the most reliable materials. The Newest fast growing family of stainless steels is duplex alloys. The ferritic-austenitic grades have a ferrite matrix intermix with austenite and in other words island of austenite in a continuous matrix of highly alloyed ferrite commonly called „Duplex‟ stainless steel. Duplex stainless steel covers ferritic/austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloy with between 30% to 70 % Ferrite .Due to high level of Cr, Mo, and N steels shows high pitting & stress corrosion cracking resistance in chloride-containing environments. Hence it is frequently used in oilrefinery heat exchangers & typical applications where there is a risk for SCC and localized corrosion as a result of chloride-containing process streams, cooling waters or deposits. Modern duplex stainless steels have generally good Weldability. Due to a balanced composition, where nitrogen plays an important role, austenite formation in the heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal is rapid. Under normal welding conditions a sufficient amount of austenite is formed to maintain good resistance to localized corrosion where as too rapid cooling may result in excessive amounts of ferrite, reducing the toughness. Therefore, welding with low heat input in thick walled materials should be avoided. Welding methods, such as resistance welding, laser welding and electron beam welding, which cause extremely rapid cooling should also be avoided or used with extreme caution. Too slow cooling can in the higher alloyed duplex grades cause formation of inter-metallic phases detrimental to corrosion resistance and toughness.

Corrosion Characterization of Aluminium 6061/ Tib2 Metal Matrix Composites in...ijtsrd
This paper deals with the high corrosion resistance developed by the metal matrix composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Matrix selected is Al6061 and reinforcement selected is TiB2 particulates, which is a ceramic material. The liquid melt metallurgy technique is used to prepare composites. Preheated but uncoated TiB2 particulates are added to the melt. By adding degasifying tablets, the melt is stirred well. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of TiB2 are prepared. Bar castings were taken and are cut into cylindrical discs of 20mm diameter and 20mm thickness. Corrosion tests were conducted at room temperature [230 C] using conventional weight loss method according to ASTM G69-80. Different concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions are used as corrodents. Weighed specimens dipped in corrodent solutions and were taken out at every 24 hours of interval up to 96 hours. Four specimens for each condition and time were used and taken out at every 24 hours of interval. Corrosion rates were calculated using the formula 534DAT/W. In all concentrations of sodium hydroxide solutions, corrosion rate decreases with increase in exposure time for matrix and metal matrix composites. As TiB2 content increases the composites become more corrosion resistant due to insulating nature of ceramic material and less exposure of matrix alloy in those metal matrix composites. V.

Characterization of Al/WC/Fly ash Metal Matrix Compositesijtsrd
Metal matrix composites are formed by combination of two or more materials (at least one of the materials is metal) having dissimilar characteristics. In this present investigation, aluminium (Al 6061) as base matrix metal and tungsten carbide (WC) particulate, fly ash as reinforcements. Fabrication of MMCs was done by stir-casting process. The Tungsten Carbide particulate was added in proportions of 1%, 2%, and 3% and Fly ash was added in proportions of 2%, 4%, and 6% on mass fraction basis to the molten metal. The different combination sets of composites were prepared. Mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness were studied for both reinforced and unreinforced Al 6061 samples. Microstructure examination was carried by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to obtain the distribution of tungsten carbide particulate and fly ash in base matrix. From the results, it was found that the tensile strength and the hardness of the prepared metal matrix composites increased with increase in tungsten carbide and fly ash content. The Scanning Electron Micrographs of the samples indicated uniform distribution of tungsten carbide and fly ash particles in the base matrix without voids before testing and with voids after testing.

This document discusses inclusion control for clean steel production. It defines inclusions as non-metallic compounds that form separate phases in steel. Strict inclusion control is important for producing quality steel products. Inclusions are assessed and controlled by examining their source, shape, composition and distribution. Common inclusions include oxides, sulfides, and carbides. Modification techniques aim to make inclusions less harmful by modifying their shape, composition and dispersion in the steel matrix. Calcium additions are often used to modify alumina and manganese sulfide inclusions. Proper inclusion control is important at all stages of steelmaking and processing to achieve clean steel.
Investigate Temperature Preheating on the Chill Plate to Identify Surface Cha...Natalino Fonseca
1. The document describes an investigation into the effect of temperature preheating on the chill plate to characterize the surface of ductile iron castings.
2. Samples of ductile iron were cast against chill plates that were preheated to different temperatures (500°C, 700°C, 900°C, and unheated) to study the microhardness, surface layer thickness, and elemental composition on the casting surface.
3. Preliminary results found that higher preheat temperatures produced a carbide structure on the casting surface, while no preheating resulted in a fully ferritic microstructure with uniform carbide formation and a pearlite-ferrite microstructure.

This work investigates the mechanical properties of Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites reinforced with Zirconium Oxide and Graphite. The composite material has been prepared by Stir casting technique. Al 7075 as matrix metal, Zirconium oxide and graphite as reinforcements. Zirconium Oxide and Graphite both have been mixed in different proportions in the Aluminium Matrix. Both reinforcement constituents were added in different combinations, so as to investigate the effect of each of these two and their individual effects. Density test, Micro hardness test and Compression test were carried out on the developed hybrid composites to study the mechanical properties of composites. Micro structural studies were carried out on Al 7075 and all composites. Samples were prepared and tested as per ASTM standards. Significant improvement in micro hardness and Compressive strength was found with an increase in Zirconium dioxide in weight percentage of composites. Micro structural study reveals the uniform distribution of reinforcements ZrO2 and graphite in as cast and Al 7075 metal matrix composites.

. One of the methods used to surface hardening of ductile iron is chilled cast iron. Chill as the fast cooling rate in the mold during solidification and chill thickness greatly affects the thickness of the hardness layer. The main material used is ductile iron, and the chill material is SS 304. Casting uses the sand casting method. Before pouring, the chill plate has been inserted onto the surface of the pattern that has been formed in the mold, then the chill plate is preheated at 700OC. Pouring was carried out at a melting temperature of 1400OC, and then cooled with argon and O2 sprays into the mold in solidification conditions at exactly 700OC. The results analyzed were the microstructure, hardness value, and the hardness of the thickness layer. This chill coolant will absorb heat very quickly and the Cr and Ni alloy will diffuse to the specimen surface to stabilize the ferrite and austenite phases in the final solidification. The particles on the hard surface have Ferro carbide M7C3, which is in the form of cementite and martensitic phases so that to categorized as white cast iron structure formed on the surface with an area around 1.5-3mm has a hardness of 61-65HRC. But in the center area is 31-49HRC

Experimental Investigation of Properties of Concrete with Partial Replacement...ijtsrd
Natural resources are depleting worldwide while at the same time the generated wastes from the industry are increasing substantially. The sustainable development for construction involves the use of nonconventional and innovative materials, and recycling of waste materials in order to compensate the lack of natural resources and to find alternative ways conserving the environment. So, this paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete mixtures in which fine aggregate sand was replaced with Copper Slag. The fine aggregates sand was replaced with percentages 0 for the control mixture , 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 80 , and 100 of Copper Slag by weight. Tests were performed for properties of fresh concrete and Hardened Concrete. Compressive strength and Flexural strength were determined at 7, 28 and 56days. The results indicate that workability increases with increase in Copper Slag percentage. Test results indicate significant improvement in the strength properties of plain concrete by the inclusion of up to 80 Copper slag as replacement of fine aggregate sand , and can be effectively used in structural concrete.

Friction stir welding (FSW) was investigated as a potential joining method for aluminum metal matrix composites reinforced with boron carbide (MMC 6061-XX% B4C) due to issues with traditional fusion welding methods. Preliminary results showed that FSW produced superior mechanical properties compared to gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), with FSW joints exhibiting similar tensile properties to the base material. However, tool wear was found to be severe, preventing long welds. Overall, the study demonstrated that FSW is a viable process for joining MMC 6061-XX% B4C, offering benefits over conventional fusion welding by reducing defects and improving mechanical properties.
Effect of Partial Replacement of Sand by Mild Steel Filings in Concreteijtsrd
Metals waste materials create serious environmental problems, mainly owing to the inconsistency of the waste streams. Mild steel filings are very small pieces of steel that look like a steel fiber. They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the possibility of using mild steel filings as one of the components of concrete mix. Five different percentage of mild steel filing were added to concrete mix to measure the variation which may be obtained in compression and tensile strength of concrete after 7 & 28 days. A number of standard cubes and cylinders were casted and tested in this study using 0% (control), 10%,15%, 20% and 25% of mild steel filing in concrete mix. Concrete cubes of size 150mm x150mm x 150mm and cylinders will be prepared and tested for compressive strength and tensile strength respectively after 7 and 28 days. A result data obtained has been analyzed and compared with a control specimen. Result data clearly shows percentage increase in 7 and 28 days compressive strength and flexural strength.

Copper slag is a by product obtained during matte smelting and refining of copper. The common management options for copper slag are recycling, recovering of metal, production of value added products such as abrasive tools, roofing granules, cutting tools, abrasive, tiles, glass, road base construction, railroad ballast, asphalt pavements. Despite increasing rate of reusing copper slag, the huge amount of its annual production is disposed in dumps or stockpiles to date. One of the greatest potential applications for reusing copper slag is in cement and concrete production. Many researchers have investigated the use of copper slag in the production of cement, mortar and concrete as raw materials for clinker, cement replacement, coarse and fine aggregates. The use of copper slag in cement and concrete provides potential environmental as well as economic benefits for all related industries, particularly in areas where a considerable amount of copper slag is produced. This paper studied the engineering characteristics of copper slag and its effects on the properties of cement concrete. When copper slag is used as a raw material for clinker production, it can act as both iron adjusting and mineralizing component. Further, it also improves the grind ability of the clinker. When it is used as a cement replacement or an aggregate replacement, the cement concrete containing different forms of copper slag have good performance in comparison with conventional concrete. Compressive strength of concrete at 0 copper slag is 29.98 N mm2, 10 copper slag is 31.67 N mm2, 20 copper slag is 36.90 N mm2, 30 copper slag is 39.42 N mm2, 40 copper slag is 45.07 N mm2, 50 copper slag is 28.80 N mm2 and for 60 copper slag is 35.65 N mm2. Split tensile strength of concrete at 0 copper slag is 2.80 N mm2, 10 copper slag is 3.12 N mm2, 20 copper slag is 3.51 N mm2, 30 copper slag is 3.87 N mm2, 40 copper slag is 3.93 N mm2, 50 copper slag is 3.60 N mm2 and for 60 copper slag is 3.45 N mm2. Flexural strength of concrete at 0 copper slag is 3.99 N mm2, 10 copper slag is 4.11 N mm2, 20 copper slag is 4.20 N mm2, 30 copper slag is 4.46 N mm2, 40 copper slag is 4.57 N mm2, 50 copper slag is 4.29 N mm2 and for 60 copper slag is 4.08 N mm2. The study reveals that when copper slag is added in concrete partially replaced with sand, the properties of concrete are satisfactory up to 40 of copper slag. But when percentage of copper slag is increases, the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete is decreases. The effect of using copper slag in concrete by partially reducing quantities of sand reduces cost of concrete work. Compressive strength and flexural Strength is increased due to high toughness of copper slag. As the percentage of Copper slag increases the density of concrete is increased. Prof. A. L.

It is shown that the excess carbide phase in Damascus steel is of an unusual nature origin that
differ from the excess phase of secondary cementite, ledeburite and primary cementite in iron-carbon alloys. It
is revealed that the morphological features of excess cementite in Damascus steel lies in the abnormal size of
excess carbides having the shape of irregular prisms. Discovered that the faceted angular carbides are formed
within the original of metastable ledeburite, so they are called "eutectic carbides". It is revealed that the
eutectic carbides angular forms have a stoichiometric composition equal to 35% carbonatoms and 65% of iron
atoms, which corresponds to the Epsilon-carbide Fe2C. Found that angular eutectic carbides in the Damascus
steel formed during long isothermal soaking at the annealing and subsequent deformation of ledeburite
structures. It is revealed that Damascus steel with is the carbon content in the region of white cast iron, no
contains in its structure of crushed ledeburite. It is shown that the pattern of carbide heterogeneity consists
entirely of angular eutectic carbides having an irregular trigonal-prismatic morphology.It is shown that
Damascus steel is non-alloy tool steel of ledeburite class, similar with structural characteristics of die steel of
ledeburite class and high-speed steel, differing from them only in the nature of excess carbide phase.
This thesis examines non-metallic inclusions in steel and their effect on steel properties. Chapter 1 introduces the need to study inclusions such as aluminum oxide, as their presence can negatively impact steel production processes and qualities. Inclusions form during steel deoxidation and solidification and remain challenges despite secondary metallurgy refinement. The goal of producing clean steel is discussed, as all steel contains some inclusions but their size and number influence properties. Upcoming chapters will review literature on inclusion formation, classification, and morphology, as well as experimental analysis of inclusions using microscopy and spectroscopy to characterize inclusions and understand steel cleanliness. The relationship between inclusions and steel properties will also be explored.
This document summarizes research on producing dissimilar metal composites of pure copper foil and 1050 aluminium using a process called Composite Metal Foil Manufacturing (CMFM). CMFM uses metal foils layered with a brazing paste, then heated and pressed to join the foils. Tests were conducted on lap shear joints of varying thickness, peel specimens, and tensile dog-bone specimens made by CMFM. Microstructural analysis showed a large proportion of bonded area between the foils. Comparative tensile tests found the CMFM aluminium-copper composite fractured at a load 11% higher than aluminium alone but lower than copper. This created a new composite material with properties between the original

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
Study of Wear Behavior of Aluminum based MMCs using Taguchi MethodsRSIS International
composite material is a material system composed of a mixture or combination of two or more micro or macro constituents that differ in form and chemical composition and which are essentially insoluble in each other. Stir casting method is used to fabricate Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) having fly ash in 3, 6, 9 wt% and e-glass fibre in 3 wt%. The dry sliding wear tests were conducted on composite material using a pin-on-disc wear testing setup with a normal pin load of 20N, 40N and 60N, and wear rate for each load is calculated for different sliding speeds. Analytical modelling of composite material is carried out by Taguchi’s design of experiments (DOE) using L27 orthogonal array. The experimental results were transformed into a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the design parameters significantly influencing the wear rate of the composite material. Based on the experimental results, a multiple linear regression model was developed. A regression equation thus generated establishes correlation between the significant terms obtained from ANOVA, namely, load, sliding speed, fly ash content and their interactions. In order to validate the regression model, confirmation wear tests were conducted with parameter levels that were different from those used for analysis. The error associated with the relationship between the experimental values and the computed values of the regression model for hybrid composites was around ±5%.
Duplex 2209 Weld Overlay by ESSC ProcessIJERA Editor
In the modern world of industrialization the wear is eating metal assets worth millions of dollars per year. The wear is in the form of corrosion, erosion, abrasion etc. which occur in the process industries like oil & gas, refineries, cement plants, steel plants, shipping and offshore working structures. The equipments like pressure vessels, heat exchangers, hydro processing reactors which very often work at elevated temperatures face corrosion in the internal diameter. Duplex 2209 weld overlay on ferrous material is developed for high corrosion resistance properties and having high productivity by Electroslag strip cladding process due to its less dilution ~10% as compared to SMAW , GTAW or FCAW process. Because of Low Dilution ~10% undiluted chemistry can be achieved with single layer as compared to other weld overlay processes. The facility was developed inhouse to carry out weld overlay by ESSC and Testing.
Stainless steel is one of the most important materials in the engineering world. The material‟s wide applications in chemical, petrochemical, off-shore, and power generation plants prove that it is one of the most reliable materials. The Newest fast growing family of stainless steels is duplex alloys. The ferritic-austenitic grades have a ferrite matrix intermix with austenite and in other words island of austenite in a continuous matrix of highly alloyed ferrite commonly called „Duplex‟ stainless steel. Duplex stainless steel covers ferritic/austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni alloy with between 30% to 70 % Ferrite .Due to high level of Cr, Mo, and N steels shows high pitting & stress corrosion cracking resistance in chloride-containing environments. Hence it is frequently used in oilrefinery heat exchangers & typical applications where there is a risk for SCC and localized corrosion as a result of chloride-containing process streams, cooling waters or deposits. Modern duplex stainless steels have generally good Weldability. Due to a balanced composition, where nitrogen plays an important role, austenite formation in the heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld metal is rapid. Under normal welding conditions a sufficient amount of austenite is formed to maintain good resistance to localized corrosion where as too rapid cooling may result in excessive amounts of ferrite, reducing the toughness. Therefore, welding with low heat input in thick walled materials should be avoided. Welding methods, such as resistance welding, laser welding and electron beam welding, which cause extremely rapid cooling should also be avoided or used with extreme caution. Too slow cooling can in the higher alloyed duplex grades cause formation of inter-metallic phases detrimental to corrosion resistance and toughness.

Corrosion Characterization of Aluminium 6061/ Tib2 Metal Matrix Composites in...ijtsrd
This paper deals with the high corrosion resistance developed by the metal matrix composites when compared with that of matrix alloy. Matrix selected is Al6061 and reinforcement selected is TiB2 particulates, which is a ceramic material. The liquid melt metallurgy technique is used to prepare composites. Preheated but uncoated TiB2 particulates are added to the melt. By adding degasifying tablets, the melt is stirred well. Metal matrix composites containing 2, 4 and 6 weight percentage of TiB2 are prepared. Bar castings were taken and are cut into cylindrical discs of 20mm diameter and 20mm thickness. Corrosion tests were conducted at room temperature [230 C] using conventional weight loss method according to ASTM G69-80. Different concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions are used as corrodents. Weighed specimens dipped in corrodent solutions and were taken out at every 24 hours of interval up to 96 hours. Four specimens for each condition and time were used and taken out at every 24 hours of interval. Corrosion rates were calculated using the formula 534DAT/W. In all concentrations of sodium hydroxide solutions, corrosion rate decreases with increase in exposure time for matrix and metal matrix composites. As TiB2 content increases the composites become more corrosion resistant due to insulating nature of ceramic material and less exposure of matrix alloy in those metal matrix composites. V.

Characterization of Al/WC/Fly ash Metal Matrix Compositesijtsrd
Metal matrix composites are formed by combination of two or more materials (at least one of the materials is metal) having dissimilar characteristics. In this present investigation, aluminium (Al 6061) as base matrix metal and tungsten carbide (WC) particulate, fly ash as reinforcements. Fabrication of MMCs was done by stir-casting process. The Tungsten Carbide particulate was added in proportions of 1%, 2%, and 3% and Fly ash was added in proportions of 2%, 4%, and 6% on mass fraction basis to the molten metal. The different combination sets of composites were prepared. Mechanical properties like tensile strength and hardness were studied for both reinforced and unreinforced Al 6061 samples. Microstructure examination was carried by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to obtain the distribution of tungsten carbide particulate and fly ash in base matrix. From the results, it was found that the tensile strength and the hardness of the prepared metal matrix composites increased with increase in tungsten carbide and fly ash content. The Scanning Electron Micrographs of the samples indicated uniform distribution of tungsten carbide and fly ash particles in the base matrix without voids before testing and with voids after testing.

This document discusses inclusion control for clean steel production. It defines inclusions as non-metallic compounds that form separate phases in steel. Strict inclusion control is important for producing quality steel products. Inclusions are assessed and controlled by examining their source, shape, composition and distribution. Common inclusions include oxides, sulfides, and carbides. Modification techniques aim to make inclusions less harmful by modifying their shape, composition and dispersion in the steel matrix. Calcium additions are often used to modify alumina and manganese sulfide inclusions. Proper inclusion control is important at all stages of steelmaking and processing to achieve clean steel.
Investigate Temperature Preheating on the Chill Plate to Identify Surface Cha...Natalino Fonseca
1. The document describes an investigation into the effect of temperature preheating on the chill plate to characterize the surface of ductile iron castings.
2. Samples of ductile iron were cast against chill plates that were preheated to different temperatures (500°C, 700°C, 900°C, and unheated) to study the microhardness, surface layer thickness, and elemental composition on the casting surface.
3. Preliminary results found that higher preheat temperatures produced a carbide structure on the casting surface, while no preheating resulted in a fully ferritic microstructure with uniform carbide formation and a pearlite-ferrite microstructure.

. One of the methods used to surface hardening of ductile iron is chilled cast iron. Chill as the fast cooling rate in the mold during solidification and chill thickness greatly affects the thickness of the hardness layer. The main material used is ductile iron, and the chill material is SS 304. Casting uses the sand casting method. Before pouring, the chill plate has been inserted onto the surface of the pattern that has been formed in the mold, then the chill plate is preheated at 700OC. Pouring was carried out at a melting temperature of 1400OC, and then cooled with argon and O2 sprays into the mold in solidification conditions at exactly 700OC. The results analyzed were the microstructure, hardness value, and the hardness of the thickness layer. This chill coolant will absorb heat very quickly and the Cr and Ni alloy will diffuse to the specimen surface to stabilize the ferrite and austenite phases in the final solidification. The particles on the hard surface have Ferro carbide M7C3, which is in the form of cementite and martensitic phases so that to categorized as white cast iron structure formed on the surface with an area around 1.5-3mm has a hardness of 61-65HRC. But in the center area is 31-49HRC

Experimental Investigation of Properties of Concrete with Partial Replacement...ijtsrd
Natural resources are depleting worldwide while at the same time the generated wastes from the industry are increasing substantially. The sustainable development for construction involves the use of nonconventional and innovative materials, and recycling of waste materials in order to compensate the lack of natural resources and to find alternative ways conserving the environment. So, this paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete mixtures in which fine aggregate sand was replaced with Copper Slag. The fine aggregates sand was replaced with percentages 0 for the control mixture , 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 80 , and 100 of Copper Slag by weight. Tests were performed for properties of fresh concrete and Hardened Concrete. Compressive strength and Flexural strength were determined at 7, 28 and 56days. The results indicate that workability increases with increase in Copper Slag percentage. Test results indicate significant improvement in the strength properties of plain concrete by the inclusion of up to 80 Copper slag as replacement of fine aggregate sand , and can be effectively used in structural concrete. Also as percentage of Copper Slag increased the density of concrete increased. The workability of concrete increased with increase in percentage of copper slag. Toughness of copper slag is found to be more, which increases the compressive and flexural strength of concrete.

FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF COPPER SLAG AND FLY ASH CONCRETE‐ A CASE STUDYijiert bestjournal
The present study encourages the use of waste materials copper slag (CS) and fly ash (FA) as
supplementary cement replacement materials in concrete. The combined effect of copper slag
and fly ash as a partial replacement of cement on flexural strength of concrete has been
investigated. Fifteen mixes were prepared at different replacement levels of copper slag (0 to
20% @ increment of 5%) and fly ash (0 to 10% @ increment of 5%) with cement. Three prisms
(150 mm X 150 mm X 700 mm) were casted and tested after 7 and 28-days of curing to
determine the flexural strength (modulus of rupture) for each mix. It was observed that the
flexural strength of concrete decreases as copper slag content increases for all curing ages. The
reduction in flexural strength was minor (4.30% to 7.60%) up to 10% of copper slag but beyond
10% of copper slag, there was significant reduction (24.70% to 34.21%) in flexural strength. The
addition of 5% and 10% fly ash with copper slag slightly reduced the flexural strength. It is

A Review on Potential of Utilizing Metal Industry Wastes in Construction Indu...ijsrd.com
This exploration work is an effort to develop the awareness & importance of industrial waste management & its utilization in productive manner in construction industry. In today's more environmentally-conscious world, a more responsible approach to the environment is to increase the use of by-products of one industry which is disposed off as a waste but can be used as a raw material for some other industry. Traditionally materials like clay, sand, stone, gravels, cement, brick, block, tiles, etc. are being used as major building materials in construction sector. All these materials have been produced from the existing natural resources and will have intrinsic distinctiveness for damaging the environment due to their continuous exploitation and increasing cost incrementally. Hence it is essential to find functional substitutes for conventional building materials in the construction industry. For above purpose the exploration study is carried out for understanding and determining the scope of utilization of waste from metal industry such as silica fume, copper slag, foundry waste sand and ground granulated blast furnace slag (metal industry) in construction industry. In our country annually huge quantities of wastes are produced by the industries. Instead of disposing-off these wastes if they are utilized in such a manner then it will provide an eco-friendly solution, simultaneously solving the problem of pollution and raising the step towards economy & obviously towards progress of the nation.
Due to growing environmental awareness, as well as stricter regulations on managing industrial waste, the world is increasingly turning to researching properties of industrial waste and finding solutions on using its valuable component parts so that those might be used as secondary raw material in other industrial branches. Although iron and steel slag is still today considered waste and is categorized in industrial waste catalogues in most countries in the world, it is most definitely not waste, neither by its physical and chemical properties nor according to data on its use as valuable material for different purposes. Moreover, since the earliest times of the discovery and development of processes of iron and other metals production, slag as by-product is used for satisfying diverse human needs, from the production of medicines and agro-technical agents to production of cement and construction element. Considering the specificity of physical and chemical properties of metallurgical slags and a series of possibilities for their use in other industrial branches and in the field of civil constructions, this report demonstrates the possibilities of using iron slag as partial replacement of sand in concrete. Iron and steel making slag are by products of the iron making and steel making processes. To date, these types of slag have been widely used in cement and as aggregate for civil works. The report presents an investigation of mechanical and durability properties of concrete by adding iron slag as replacement of sand in various percentages. The results show that the strength properties of concrete increase significantly when sand is partially replaced by iron slag.
Effect of Fly Ash Particles on the Mechanical Properties of Zn-22%Al Alloy vi...IOSR Journals
In the present investigation, a Zn-22%Al alloy is used as the matrix material and fly ash as the filler material. The composite is produced using powder metallurgy techniques. The fly ash is added in 2%, 4%, and 6% by wt% to the sintering metal. The composite is tested for hardness, density and tensile strength test. Microstructure examination is done using a high resolution optical microscope to obtain the distribution of fly ash in the Zn-Al matrix. Test results indicate that as fly ash content is increased, there is a considerable increase in hardness and tensile strength but decrease in density.
1. The document discusses using copper slag as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. Copper slag is an industrial byproduct generated during copper production.
2. The author reviews past studies that found copper slag can improve the strength and durability of concrete when used to replace up to 50% of fine aggregate. Properties like compressive strength and resistance to sulfate attack were enhanced.
3. However, replacing fine aggregate with more than 50% copper slag resulted in weaker concrete due to increased voids and microcracks in the material. The document concludes that copper slag is a viable partial replacement for fine aggregate in concrete.

Abstract: One of the major challenges in our present society is the protection of environment. Some of the important elements in this respect are the reduction in the consumption of energy and natural raw materials and consumption of waste materials must be increased. This experimental study is to investigate the effect of using copper slag as a replacement of fine aggregate on the strength properties. The common management options for copper slag are recycling, recovering of metal, production of value added products such as abrasive tools, roofing granules, cutting tools, abrasive tiles, glass, rail road ballast, asphalt pavements. Despite increasing reusing of copper slag, the huge amounts of its annual production is disposed in dumps or stockpiles. In the present study experimental investigation has been carried out on M25 grade concrete is used and tests were conducted for various percentage replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag in concrete. The obtained results were compared with those of control concrete made with ordinary portland cement and sand. The use of copper slag in concrete provides potential environment as well as economic benefits for all related industries, particularly in areas where a considerable amount of copper slag is produced. This study reviews the characteristics of copper slag and its effect on the engineering properties of M25 grade concrete.

IRJET - A Review on Use of Steel Slag in Asphalt Road ConstructionIRJET Journal
This document reviews the use of steel slag as an aggregate in asphalt road construction. It summarizes several studies that found replacing a portion of conventional aggregates with steel slag aggregates can improve the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete mixes. Specifically, replacing up to 75% of limestone coarse aggregate with steel slag aggregate was found to increase indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, rutting resistance, fatigue life, and creep modulus of the mixes. Guidelines indicate steel slag can replace either fine or coarse aggregates in asphalt mixes but not both, to avoid issues like high void space. The conclusion is that use of steel slag in bituminous mixes can improve strength and stiffness while allowing thinner pavements without compromising stability or sk
Study on Behaviour of Concrete Mix Replaceing Fine Aggregate With Steel Slag ...IJERA Editor
This paper aims to study experimentally, the effect of partial replacement of fine aggregate by steel slag (ss), on
the various strength and durability properties of concrete by using the mix designs .the optimum percentage of
replacement of fine aggregate by steel slag is found. Workability of concrete gradually decreases, as the
percentage of replacement increases which is found using slump test. Compressive strength, tensile strength,
flexural strength and durability tests such as acid resistant’s, using HCL,H2SO4 and rapid chloride penetration,
are experimentally investigated.
The results indicate that for conventional concrete, partial replacement of concrete by steel slag improves the
compressive, tensile, flexural strength. The mass loss in cubes after immersion in acids is found to be very low.
Deflection in the RCC beams gradually increases, as the load on the beam increases, for the replacement. The
degree of fluoride ion penetrability is assessed based on the limits given in ASTM C 1202. The viability of use
of steel slag in concrete is found.
Waste management is one of the most common and challenging problems in the world. The steel making
industry has generated substantially solid waste. Steel slag is a residue obtained in steel making operation. This
paper deals with the implementation of steel slag as an effective replacement for sand. Steel slag ,which is
consider as the solid waste pollutant, can be used for road construction ,clinker raw materials, filling materials
etc. In this work, steel slag used as replacement for sand, which is also major component concrete mixture. This
method can be implement for producing hallow blocks, solid blocks, paver blocks, concrete structures etc.
Accordingly, advantages can be achieved by using steel slag instead of natural aggregates this will also
encourage other researchers to find another field of using steel slag.

A review of the effect of basalt fibre lengths and proportions on the mechani...eSAT Journals
Abstract
During the past few decades, the concrete construction field has seen a growing interest in the advantages that fibre reinforcement has to offer. Between the different types of fibres available, basalt fibre is considered a promising new material to use. It has extremely good strength characteristics and thermal resistance, high resistance to an alkaline environment, and is cheap product, making it an excellent material to reinforce concrete. In view of the significance of basalt fibres for concrete, and because different lengths and proportions of basalt fibres have an effect on the mechanical properties of concrete, it is proposed to review the effect of using different basalt fibre lengths and content on the mechanical properties of concrete. The mechanical properties of concrete reviewed are compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, permeability, workability, and unit weight. This paper has for the first time reviewed the current literature related to the effect of using basalt fibres of different proportions on the mechanical properties of concrete, provided future researchers with the information and facts needed to compare their work, and identified the best basalt fibre length and content combination that demonstrates an improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete. From reviewing the literature, it was found that most authors agreed that the mechanical properties of concrete improved significantly when using basalt fibres with a length between 12mm and 24mm, and content between 0.1% - 0.5% by total volume. In this context, the length and content of basalt fibres in concrete becomes an important parameter for the mechanical properties of concrete.

This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

ABSTRACT
Rational use of highly dispersed metal waste is an
important issue of material science and environment
protection. The quantity of the powdered metallic
materials used in industry is steadily increasing;
are especially widely used in the enterprises
producing iron powders, in metal sheet production, as
well as in abrasive machining. This paper presents an
analysis of several kinds of metal waste such as iron
and steel powders, mill scales, steel punch
shavings and other iron-containing waste from
mechanical engineering and metallurgy industries,
and the possibility of their use in the manufacturing of
concrete products like fillers. This study investigates
properties of the samples of the con
manufactured using highly dispersed metallic fillers.
The highest density obtained is in the range of 4000
4500 kg/m3. The common characteristics of the
aforementioned materials are their low cost,
availability and thus the potential for large prod
volumes, need for recycling, and tendency to further
oxidation and corrosion.

APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES OF HEAVY
CONCRETE
Heavy concrete has high application possibilities
the field of contra weights. The main contra
material properties are their high density,
resistance to external environment impacts and
production cost. Contra weights are used to ensure
stability of enginery – e.g., machinery, lifts,
floodgates, cranes etc. It is also effective to use heavy
concrete in underwater constructions due to its high
density that is more notable because of the buoyant
force (1), namely, the weight in the water depends on
the material mass and density.
Heavy concrete can be used to manufacture
substructure of breakwaters. Another
product category includes anchors which would

Institute of Building Production has developed
construction scheme of such anchor that is shown
