Increase in demand and decrease in availability of fine aggregates, we use an alternative material called quarry dust, it is a finer material generated from stone quarries. This paper deals with the feasibility study on the utilization of quarry dust as a partial replacement in fine aggregate. In this experimental investigation, the properties of materials are tested as per Indian standards. The filling ability, passing ability and flowability characteristics of SCC as a partial replacement of fine aggregate with quarry dust was investigated as per EFNARC guidelines. In this experimental investigation, different mixes were prepared as a partial replacement of fine aggregate with quarry dust at various percentages such as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% to obtain the optimum replacement level. The Slump flow, U-box, L-Box, V-Funnel and J-ring tests were carried out to determine the workability of SCC. The finding shows that the workability decreases with the addition of quarry dust. It is concluded that addition of quarry dust reduces the fresh properties of the SCC.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140688715","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}

Alloying with rare earth improves tensile properties considerably. However, the availability of rare-earth elements is a concern. Therefore, attempts are being made to prepare alloys without rare-earth elements. One Mg-1Ca alloy was prepared with different amounts of Sn to study the impact on the high-temperature strength after dynamic recrystallization by hot rolling. Optical and electron microscopy analyzed the change in the microstructure. XRD and EDS were used to identify phases and composition of different microconstituent particles and high-temperature strength was measured at 250°C, 300°C, and 350 °C under 2 x 10-4 s -1 strain rate and at 3000C, 3500C, 4000C, and 4500C temperature under 5 x 10 -4 s -1 strain rate. According to XRD investigation, the alloys essentially comprise the Ca-containing phase and Mg2Sn particles. The Mg-1Ca-1Sn alloy exhibited maximum high-temperature strength at 250°C, attributed to the maximum amounts of MgCaSn particles. It was also found that dynamic recrystallization was accelerated by particle-stimulated nucleation and maximum refinement was found at 1% Sn-containing alloys.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140689464","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 DMLS products, residual stresses are inevitable because of the thermal gradient involved in the process and the porosity that results from process limitations. As a result of these defects, the strength of the product is reduced and the quality of the product is compromised. The primary objective of this article is to offer an in-depth analysis of different heat treatment methods that are employed to achieve superior properties in products manufactured through DMLS processing. Thermal processing techniques include Hot Isostatic Pressing, Solution Heat Treatment, T6 heat treatment, Direct Aging Treatment, etc. Using thermal post-processing techniques, 99.99% of the porosity is eliminated, corrosion resistance is significantly increased, and mechanical properties are enhanced. This study examines the need for thermal post-processing, the methodology employed, and the property enhancements achieved by DMLS products. There are many factors affecting thermal post-processing, however, efforts have been made to review the details regarding thermal post-processing applied to SS316L material processed with direct metal laser sintering. Moreover, the specific methods for post-processing can be determined based on the product's intended application.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140685885","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}

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been extensively investigated as an alternative to replace Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) as a commercial TFE due to their high conductivity, transparency, and flexibility. AgNWs have replaced ITO-based electrodes as the preferred approach in flexible, transparent, and conductive electrodes (FTCE). AgNWs outperform other materials, such as Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO), ceramic material, Carbon Nanotubes (CNT), and conductive polymers, in terms of electrical conductivity, transmittance, flexibility, and low sheet resistance. Numerous techniques, including as electrospinning, spray coating, spin coating, and doctor blades, are used to use AgNWs as flexible substrates. Seed-based growth and template-assisted synthesis are two fundamental synthesis techniques that could be used to generate AgNWs. However, poor adhesiveness, and thermal and electrical stability, begin to be bottlenecks for AgNWs as high deployment in a variety of devices. So AgNWs synthesis process began to shift to other methods, such as wet chemical and polyol. In this paper, short and clear summary of various advances including post-treatment methods such as UV radiation, microwave, sonication, quenching, and so on is conducted to be one step forward to test mechanical properties and to improve AgNWs performance.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140216978","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}

This material is a combination of substances from the qualities and characteristics of both thermoplastic and vulcanized thermoset rubber. TPU has excellent abrasion resistance, hardness, chemical, and thermal resistance properties. In addition, TPU is a great fit for making hoses, gaskets, and seals due to its oil and grease resistance properties. Due to the growing application of 3D-printed materials at elevated temperatures, this study aims to characterize the tensile strength of TPU 3D-printed materials when thermal cycled. The test results concluded that the tensile properties of TPU 3D-printed specimens were significantly influenced by the number of thermal cycles it was subjected to. The samples that underwent four thermal cycles exhibited the highest modulus of elasticity and stress at 200% strain.
