This document summarizes a study on the slurry erosion of different heat-treated steels. Three low-carbon steel samples were tested: one annealed, one normalized, and one water quenched. The water quenched sample had the highest hardness of 508 VHN and lowest erosion rate, while the annealed sample had the lowest hardness of 155 VHN and highest erosion rate. Surface analysis found the water quenched sample exhibited minimal deformation from erosion compared to the other samples. The study concluded hardness inversely correlates with erosion rate, with harder surfaces experiencing less wear. Future work could examine erosion mechanisms at the nano-level and effect of tensile stress on erosion.

Comparison of Fatigue Characteristic for AISI 1039 Steel with Surface Treatmentijceronline
Wear and fatigue resistance in steel components used in various industries can be improved by surface treatments. Coatings systems which are used for improving the mechanical properties, generally, decreased the components fatigue life due to micro cracks, that propagate through the substrate , it is possible to improve the fatigue resistance of a component by the application of shot peening treatment, whose compressive residual stresses delay or eliminate the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks. The aim of this study is to obtain the fatigue limit of untreated, shot peened, and hard chromium coating of medium carbon steel AISI 1039 and comparison between them. Fatigue tests were carried out using small samples with 4 mm diameter, with hard chromium layer of (47.1) µm thick. Rotating-bending fatigue test was carried out on samples after shot peening with steel balls of about 20 minutes peening time. Experimental results showed that hard chromium electroplating decreased the fatigue life and fatigue limit in comparison with the uncoated steel. As the highest thickness for coating was 23µm. On the other hand, Shot peening Results indicated that the fatigue strengths of samples are increased and the highest fatigue limit was (298.566Mpa) after treated the samples by shot peening for 20 minutes.

AISI 316L is the austenitic stainless steel type that widely used in biomedical implant and artificial organs. This material’s cannot be hardened by heat treatment but the mechanical strength could be increased by cold working process. Dry shot peening is the one of cold working process in which the surface specimen bombarded with spherical media called shot to produce a compressive residual stress layer and modify mechanical properties of metal’s surface. The objectives of this research are to investigate the effect of shot angle variation of dry shot peening process on the surface roughness and corrosion resistance of AISI 316L.
Effect of Surface Hardening Technique and Case Depth on Rolling Contact Fatig...Dave Palmer, P.E.
Surface hardening techniques are widely used to improve the rolling contact fatigue resistance of materials. This study investigated the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) resistance of hardened, ground steel rods made from three different aircraft-quality alloy steels (AISI 8620, 9310 and 4140), and hardened using different techniques (atmosphere carburizing, vacuum carburizing, and induction hardening) at different case depths. The fatigue life of the rods was determined using a three ball-on-rod rolling contact fatigue test machine. After testing, the surfaces of the rods were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their microstructures were examined using metallographic techniques. In addition, the surface topography of the rods was measured using white-light interferometry. Relationships between surface hardness, case depth, and fatigue life were investigated. The longest lives were observed for the vacuum carburized AISI 9310 specimens, while the shortest lives were observed for the induction hardened AISI 4140 specimens. It was found the depth to a hardness of 613 HV (56 HRC), as opposed to the traditional definition of case depth as the depth to a hardness of 513 HV (50 HRC), provided a somewhat better correlation to RCF life, and the hardness at a depth of 0.254 mm provided a somewhat better correlation than the surface hardness to RCF life.
CHEMICAL DURABILITY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHOSPHATE GLASSES CONTAINING ...ijac123
In order to prepare a high quality glass with high water resistance, we investigated chromium iron phosphate glass because of its improved chemical durability. The introduction of chromium in sodiumiron-phosphate glasses is used to compare its effect with iron in inhibition of corrosion. The sodiumchromium-iron phosphate glass of composition 30Fe2O3-xCr2O3-(15-x)Na2O-55P2O5 (mol %),with (0≤x≤4) was produced by melting batches of (99,98% pure) Cr2O3, Fe2O3, Na2CO3, and (NH4)2HPO4 at 1080°C for one hour and pouring the liquid into the bench. The sample was annealed at 650°C for 48h. We have performed the measurement of X-Ray diffraction, and Infra Red spectroscopy. The chemical durability was evaluated by weight losses of glass samples after immersion in hot distilled water (90°C) for 30 days. Weight loss measurements showed a good chemical durability unlike borosilicate glass.
Wear Properties of Thixoformed Al-5.7Si-2Cu-0.3Mg Aluminium AlloyDr. Manal Abdullatif
Earlier work has shown that Al-5.7Si-2Cu-0.3Mg aluminium alloy is suitable for
thixoforming process. Here, the dry sliding wear behaviour of the alloy, in the as-cast and
thixoformed conditions were investigated. The cooling slope technique was used to produce the alloy
with globular microstructure for the thixoforming process. Both the thixoformed and cast samples
were subjected to T6 heat treatments prior to the wear tests. The tests were carried out using a
pin-on-disc tribometer, against a hardened M2 tool steel disc of 62 HRC at different loads, under dry
sliding conditions at fixed sliding speed and sliding distance of 1 m.s–1 and 5 km respectively. The
microstructural response, worn surfaces was thoroughly and carefully examined using various
methods such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and differential
scanning calorimetry. The density of the heat treated thixoformed alloys showed significant increase
in the hardness property, among others, due to its reduced porosity. Their wear test results also
observed that the weight loss of materials increase with an increase in the input load and the sliding
distance for all samples. However, the as-cast alloy displayed higher wear rate compared with the
thixoformed alloys. In general, the wear mechanisms showed a mixture of abrasive, oxidative and
delamination wear (mild wear) at low applied loads and mainly an adhesive (severe wear) at high
applied loads.

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.

Corrosion conduct of Austenitic stainless steel 316L subjected
to surface treatment.
Abstract. The influence of low temperature liquid nitriding as a surface heat treatment analogy
with laser peening treatment at the various of throbs on pitting corrosion of the “AISI 316L
Austenitic stainless steel” is investigated in this paper. According to typical ASTM (G71-31) a
number of corrosion examination samples are equipped with the measurements of (15 * 15 * 3)
mm which distributed into the many groups. Three sets were exposed to liquid nit riding
process at temperatures of (500, 400, 300) Co for one hour. The specimens (without coating)
were exposed to a number of the throbs (1,2,3) by laser peening. Microstructure varia tions,
compression residual stress, hardness, were inspected in this work. The corrosion and its
variables (potential cell, current density) were also evaluated using the potential stat
examination and applying the Tafel method using saltwater solution (3.5% NaCl). Tafle
equation was used to compute the corrosion degree. The results revealed that the liquid
nitriding participated to raise the corrosion rate at (500) Co, compared to the original metal
because of chromium nitride and also leaser peening participated to the increase in the
corrosion rate due to plastic deformation which led to the heterogeneity in the microstructure
but liquid nitriding at temperature (400) oC gave the best result where it was closer to the parent
metal’s, also laser peening at one throb showed the lower corrosion rate.
Effect of Hardness and Wear Resistance on En 353 Steel by Heat Treatment IJMER
En 353 steel is an easily available and cheap material that is acceptable for heavy duty
applications. Heat treatment on En 353 steel is improved the ductility, toughness, strength, hardness and
relive internal stress in the material. Spectrographic method is used to analyze the composition of the
alloy material. The experimental results of hardness and dry wear testing on pin-on-disc are done to get
idea about heat treated En 353 steel. It is found that the hardness and wear resistance of the En 353 steel
is improved after the heat treatment and the microstructure is changed from ferrite to martensite.
Sensitization of Gold Dust in 430 Grade Stainless SteelIJAEMSJORNAL
'Gold dusting' is a surface defect that is sometimes observed on cold-rolled AISI type 430 stainless steel. Gold dusting is characterized by a sparkling appearance, which results from small flakes of metal on the cold rolled surface, the flakes are mostly elongated in the rolling direction. The processing steps include continuous casting, hot rolling, continuous annealing, and pickling. One possibility is that the flakes of metal are grains that had been undercut by intergranular corrosion such intergranular corrosion may occur during pickling after the annealing step (which itself follows hot rolling). If intergranular corrosion does occur during this pickling step, the intergranular cavities would be elongated by subsequent cold rolling; this can account for the observed morphology of gold dusting. If the steel has been sensitized, intergranular corrosion may occur during pickling. Pickling is commonly carried out by electrolytic descaling in a neutral sodium sulphate solution followed by immersion in a nitric acid/hydrofluoric acid bath. The sensitized type 430 stainless steel does, indeed, suffer intergranular corrosion in a nitric acid/hydrofluoric acid bath, while it is largely unaffected during electrolytic pickling. Hence, sensitization is a possible cause of gold dusting.
Hardeninig of steel (Jominy test)-CoET- udsmmusadoto
Controlling a material’s properties during processing is pivotal for any engineering field. A specific hardness for a metal is often a desirable characteristic for many applications, so controlling hardness is important during processing. To increase the hardness of steel, it is often quenched from a high temperature to form martensite, a hard yet brittle phase of iron. The extent of martensite formation, including hardness and depth of formation, is known as hardenability. This practical provides an experiment for measurement of hardenability in plain carbon steel and an alloyed steel according to, the Jominy End-Quench Test , (ASTM A255 – 10). The demonstration exercise involve quenching one end of a heated steel sample ,comparing and evaluating the hardness distribution using measurements obtained at different locations(distance interval) on the sample(specimens) surface.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
