St 37 and St 70 steels are materials used in the manufacturing of general building materials, produced by processing the hot-formed steel further through a cold drawing process. Ansys; is a computer aided engineering program where analysis and simulations can be performed in computer aided engineering studies. It enables effective studies in different disciplines such as mechanics, structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer. The finite element method, which enables the solution of complex engineering problems with controllable parts by simplifying, is a common and useful solution method used in many engineering applications. St and St 70 steels are modeled as three-dimensional I-beams 3 mm in thickness in Ansys program package in accordance with the finite element method. Finite element method helps simplifying complex engineering problems and solving them with controllable parts. Elastic stress analyses were performed in X, Y, Z axes by stabilizing the right and left supports of steel beams and applying a pressure of 100 MPa on the top flanges. It was observed in Ansys simulation analyses that elastic stress effect was higher in St 37 steel compared to St 70 steel.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76542611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the measurement of hardness of the local area of materials is one of key technologies to develop new materials. Nanoindentation is the depth sensing indentation method and can measure the mechanical properties of nanoscale area of materials. The hardness of materials under the controlled environment like high temperature is a big issue in energy or environment industries. Therefore, it becomes important to measure high temperature mechanical properties of nanoscale area of materials by nanoindentation. However, the shape of indenter may change when an indenter contacts to the material surface at high temperatures, and the nanoindentation at high temperatures may lead to inaccuracy of measurements. Nanoindentation does not measure indented are directly but converts the indentation depth to the indented area by area function. In order to correctly convert the indentation depth to the indented area, it is necessary to derive the area function of indented area at high temperatures. In this report, the area function is proposed that considers the change of indenter shape during repeating contact at heated materials. By using this proposed area function, nanoindentation hardness and the reduced modulus of sapphire were obtained at 303K, 473K, 673K, 873K and 1073K successfully. The nanoindentation can be used at high temperatures, if this proposed area function is used.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82065127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cotton twill fabrics were prepared using two solutions; a mixture of positively charged branched polyethylenimine (BPEI) with urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP), and negatively charged casein. Layer-by-layer assemblies for flame retardant properties were applied using the pad-dry-cure method, and each coating formula was rotated for 20 bi-layers. The effectiveness to resist flame spread on treated fabrics was evaluated using vertical (ASTM D6413-08) and 45° angle flammability test (ASTM D1230-01) methods. In most case, char lengths of fabrics that passed the vertical flammability tests were less than 50% of the original length, and after-flame and after-glow times were less than one second. Thermal properties were tested the extent of char produced by untreated and treated fabrics at 600°C by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Micro-scale combustion calorimeter (MCC) and Limiting oxygen indices (LOI, ASTM D2863-09) were also assessed. All untreated fabrics showed LOI values of about 21% oxygen in nitrogen. LOI values for the treated casein with BPEI/urea/DAP fabrics were greater than 29-34% between 5.80-9.59 add on wt%. Their structural characterizations were revealed by TGA/FT-IR and SEM methods. The treated fabrics exhibited improved thermal stability, as evidenced by increased ignition times and lower heat release rates. The results of this study show that flame retardant nanocoatings can be readily applied to textile fabrics using a continuous process that is ideal for commercial and industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79362062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially the hardness and the elastic modulus are important mechanical properties. The orientation dependence of hardness and reduced modulus of single crystal sapphire surface was investigated by nanoindentation. The conventional technique to measure the hardness of materials using an optical micrometer cannot evaluate mechanical properties of a local region of several µm or less. However, nanoindentation can measure mechanical properties of very small surface area of materials, and is expected to detect the micro structure dependence of mechanical properties. Nanoindentation uses very small indenter made of diamond, and measures the indentation depth. The measured depth is converted to the indented area size using the area function. The area function of the indenter can be obtained using a standard material (fused quartz) in advance. Therefore nanoindentation can measure the indented area size without using an optical micrometer. In this report, it was shown that the nanoindentation could detect the structure dependence of mechanical properties of materials. The specimen was a single crystal sapphire with c - axis surface, and the indenter was Berkovich type diamond tip. It was confirmed that the nanoindentation hardness was the lowest, and the reduced modulus was the largest, when the ridge line of indenter was oriented to the m - axis of single crystal.

The latter are subjected to physical conditions of nature to define our field of study. This system of continuity equations is solved using a computational program in a digital programming language. Numerical analysis is used in this study because the mathematical system describing the transport phenomena of load carriers (electrons and excitons) in a silicon heterojunction photovoltaic cell is very complex. Thus, to facilitate numerical resolution, the dimensional parameters of the physical system are rendered dimensionless. The resulting dimensionless equations are discretized by the finite volume method. They are then implemented in a calculation program by an iterative line-by-line relaxation method of the Gauss-Siedel type. In addition, with a low density coupling coefficient b=10-16cm3s-1 that depends on the material’s properties, the influence of temperature on the diffusion lengths, on the carrier and photocurrent densities, and on the internal quantum yield is studied.

Afterward, each sample was tensile tested, mounted, hardness tested, and observed by optical microscope to investigate corresponding microstructures.

The yield strength was unchanged after heating to different temperatures. When heating to 680°C. It didn’t affect the strength at all, then after heating to 800°C, the strength decreased about 100MPa. But after this, higher temperatures didn’t change strength anymore. The Ultimate strength however showed a different trend as it continuously went down at elevated temperature. Meanwhile, the hardness of both alloys decreased constantly when temperature increased. Regarding Ti Grade 2 alloys, the initial drop in strength was due to annealing. Around 800°C, alpha laths started to form and that caused strength to increase. When the temperature reached at 850°C, the basketweave alpha laths were formed. Over that temperature, the grain sizes were significantly large which caused the strength to decrease. However, there was not much of change in alpha/beta ratio for Ti Grade 5 alloys. EBSD could be a helpful method since the alpha grain size can be determined from that.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88589057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present work, we prepared uniform and compact LiZnTiBi ferrite with large average grain size (>30μm) at 900°C. Firstly, the hybrid materials, including Li2CO3, ZnO, TiO2, Bi2O3 and Fe2O3, were pre-sintered at 850°C at O2 atmosphere. Next, composite additives composited of Li2CO3 and ZnO nanoparticles were added to control grain growth. The influences of the Li2CO3 and nano-ZnO (LZ) on the microstructure and magnetic properties of LiZnTiBi ferrite, especially for grain size, have been analyzed. SEM images demonstrated that moderate LZ additives (x=0.75 wt%) can prevent abnormal grains. Also, the ferrite samples possess compact microstructures. The phenomenon indicated that the LZ additive is a good sintering aid for low-temperature sintering LiZnTiBi ferrites. XRD patterns showed that all samples have a pure spinel phase. The magnetic properties, including Bs, Br/Bs and 4πMs, have weak change when LZ additives were added. However, due to smaller average grain size, the coercivity (Hc) gradually increased. Thus, a low-temperature sintering LiZnTiBi ferrite with high saturation flux density (Bs=311.10 mT), large remanence ratio (Br/Bs=0.86), low coercivity (Hc=244.6 A/m) and high saturation magnetization (Ms=75.40) was obtained when 1.00 wt% LZ additive was added.

The most efficient and cost effective method of obtaining these precious materials is the Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD), however, obtaining SWCNTs of desired electronic type via this method, has remained a global challenge for over 20 years. This has limited the availability of these products in the global research and technological industries, contributing to the problem of lack of raw materials to sustain them. In this report, metallic SWCNTs (11, 8) are selectively synthesized via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, by the pyrolysis of C6H14/N2 feedstock on Fe2O3/Al2O3 catalyst matrix. Catalyst design and preparation was achieved by correlating the numerical magnitudes of chiral index (n, m) of the desired SWCNTs with mole fractions of metal/support, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis reveals densely entangled tubular bundles, while high resolution transmission electron microscopy confirms rigid arrangements of SWCNTs in the bundles. Values of the radial breathing modes, diameter and energy band gaps of the sample obtained from Raman analysis conforms to that of SWCNTs (11, 8), established via Extended Tight Binding (ETB) model.
