One of the available methods to reduce CO2 emissions is its storage in favorable rock structures, such as mined hydrocarbon deposits. Natural hermeticity is guaranteed with this reservoir structure. An increase in pressure conditions in the deposit, induced by long-term CO2 storage, can lead to the splitting of exposed rocks. It is therefore necessary to carry out geomechanical tests on available drill core samples. The presented article presents the results of laboratory research aimed at determining the mechanical-elastic parameters of reservoir rocks of a hydrocarbon deposit using non-destructive testing. The advantage of this method is the possibility of testing the given samples before and after exposure to CO2. The laboratory research carried out revealed significant differences in the measured mechanical-elastic parameters of the tested samples. Taking into account that samples of the consistent reservoir structure of the same deposit were tested, the necessity of detailed testing of geomechanical parameters arises. It was interpreted that the differences in mechanical-elastic parameters found by the research may be caused by differences in the lithological composition (for these purposes, XRD powder diffraction was implemented), or by mechanical disturbance given, for example, by fracture predisposed by structural-tectonic processes. Different humidity can also have an effect, or degree of saturation of the tested samples.","PeriodicalId":18466,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical and Materials Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135787168","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}

Various weight filler ratios with particle sizes around (125 μm) were examined and characterized using elongation, tensile strength, Young's modulus, compressive strength, average burning time, and infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the addition of 20 wt.% palm frond ash powder significantly improved the hardness mixture by about 2.83 MPa. In addition to that, the highest value of the compressive strength of the polymer with the additive was recorded at 10 wt.%. Also, the most excellent value of Young’s modulus was 2 MPa at a ratio of 50 wt. %, as was the average burning time of about 33 sec. The mechanical properties of polyurethane were affected by adding palm frond ash, which increases the tensile and compressive strengths, making it suitable for use in many applications. Moreover, the environmentally friendly material reflects the benefits of waste recycling. The addition of filler affects the morphology and strengthens the brittleness. Additionally, the use of fly ash from palm frond combustion in the technology of polyurethane materials complies. Partial replacement of petrochemical components with waste filler also reduces the total energy consumption in producing PU composites.

The Sa parameter was used to represent the surface quality in different zones of the process, near entrance tool, middle and near exit tool, and ANOVA analysis was conducted. The results indicated that only the position and feed rate have a statistical influence on surface roughness. Additionally, the surface quality is strongly affected by the position relative to the entrance of the tool and the side (retreating or advancing sides).

Grain refinement serves the dual purpose of not only achieving a fine grain size, but also enhancing the mechanical properties of materials. Numerous researchers have dedicated significant efforts over the last decades to explore the grain refinement of aluminium alloys. There have been a number of studies relating to the mechanisms that explains the observed phenomena associated with grain refinement. The most commonly employed are grain refiners based on Al–Ti–B system. However, a limited efficiency of these grain refiners on aluminium silicon alloys with excessive Si and the effect of alloying elements have been noticed. The review examines the impact of the factors influencing grain refining behaviour of master alloys, including the effects of poisoning elements such as Si, Mg, Zr, and Sr. A large grain refiners used for enhancing the properties of aluminium silicon alloys are reviewed. An overview of new refiners has been given. Also, procedures for assessment of grain refinement have been examined.","PeriodicalId":18466,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical and Materials Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135999474","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}

ZnO films were synthesized via DC magnetron sputtering process using pure Zn target in gases mixture of Ar/O2 = 80/17.5 (sccm). In order to improve the optical and electrical prosperities, the obtained films were subjected to air and vacuum annealing treatment. Several techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD), Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and UV-visible were used to study the influence of heat treatment on structural and physical properties of ZnO films. Electrical conductivity of ZnO thin films was determined by measuring the sheet resistance and thickness of the films. XRD results confirm the synthesis of annealed ZnO films of the hexagonal structure with a preferential orientation along the (002) plane. The average crystallite size is altered between 22.6 to 28.4 nm dependent on the plan orientation of the ZnO film. Morphology and crystallinity of the ZnO structure could efficiently control the transmittance, electrical resistivity and optical band gap. As deposited ZnO film showed a lower electrical resistivity of 2.72×10-3 Ωcm due to the Zn-rich conditions. Under vacuum annealing, a combination of low resistivity (1.17×10-2 Ωcm) and better optical transmittance (87 %) are obtained. ZnO films developed in this study with high transmittance and low resistivity and good electro-optical quality supports their use in transparent and conductive electrode applications. The plan presentation was visualized using Vesta, with the lattice parameter set as follows: a = b = 3.249 Å; c = 5.207 Å; α = β = 90°; γ = 120°. Based on the construction and optimization of primitive cells, the supercells were constructed and then optimized. Finally, (002) and (103) planes were cut and the planar supercell structure was constructed.

The Illyrian helmets alloy resulted Cu-Sn with less than 1% of Fe and As. The microstructure was composed by straight and bended twins, with 160.5 and 169.6 mean Vickers microhardness values, suggesting that these objects’ alloys were casted, annealed and cold worked to obtain the final distinctive shape.

The technique produced up to 640 (±300) µm thick composite layer with maximum hardness of 481 (± 14.6) HV. The hardness of the reinforced surface layer is 3-4 times higher than the base alloy. The increased hardness of composite zone is directly attributed to the presence of the iron boron (FeB), boron vanadium (V2B3) and iron carbide (Fe3C).
