Joining DSS alloy is challenging due to the formation of embrittling precipitates and metallurgical changes during the welding process. Generally, the quality of a weld joint is strongly influenced by the welding conditions. Mathematical models were developed to achieve high-quality welds and predict the ideal bead geometry to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Artificial neural networks are computational models used to address complex nonlinear relationships between input and output variables. It is one of the powerful modeling techniques, based on a statistical approach, presently practiced in engineering for complex relationships that are difficult to explain with physical models. For this study robotic GMAW welding process manufactured the duplex stainless steel welds at different welding conditions. Two tensile specimens were manufactured from each welded plate, resulting in 14 tensile specimens. This research focuses on predicting the yield strength, tensile stress, elongation, and fracture location of duplex stainless steel SAF 2205 welds using back-propagation neural networks. The predicted values of tensile strength were later on compared with experimental values obtained through the tensile test. The results indicate <2% of error between observed and predicted values of mechanical properties when using the neural network model. In addition, it was observed that the tensile strength values of the welds were higher than the base metal and that this increased when increasing the arc current. The welds’ yield strength and elongation values are lower than the base metal by 6%, ~ 9.75%, respectively. The yield strength and elongation decrease might be due to microstructural changes when arc energy increases during the welding.","PeriodicalId":7327,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84723451","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 results show that the transverse tensile strength gained was 94% of the AA5052 base metal that is 229.5 MPa. This superior strength was achieved due to the annealing that happened to the AA 5052 region and elevated plastic flow in the weld zone by the in-situ induction heating, which resulted in the elongation of the weld region.

The number of input variables of the artificial neural network was optimized using genetic algorithms. In this process, surface parameters of the sheet, sheet material parameters, friction conditions and pressure force were used as input parameters to train the artificial neural network. Some of the obtained results have pointed out that genetic algorithm can successfully be applied to optimize the training set. The trained multilayer perceptron predicted the value of the friction coefficient for the DC04 sheet. It was found that the tested steel sheet exhibits anisotropic tribological properties. The highest values of the coefficient of friction under dry friction conditions were registered for sheet DC05, which had the lowest value of the yield stress.

In marine Bio-refinery waste produce huge quantity of calcium carbonate, whose disposal is cause of major concern. Pre-eminent solution for this problem is utilizing the marine shell waste in cement and concrete.

Since most clinical modalities are flooded with antibiotics, environmental samples such as sewage treatment effluents, surface water and secondary water drainage etc. reveal the presence of bio-recalcitrant antibiotics worldwide, ergo there is a spurring rise in antibiotic resistant microorganisms. In order to circumvent the escalating concentration of amoxicillin (microgram/liter) we contrived a potential metal organic framework (MOF) and lab tested it for catalytic functionality. A zinc-porphyrin MOF using Tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin H2TCPP (>97%) as a ligand and Zinc acetate as a metal salt was solvo-thermally synthesized. The morphological and structural characterization were performed using FESEM, XRD, EDAX, FTIR and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The fabricated MOF catalyst exhibits sterling ability of amoxicillin degradation in a dark environment at room temperature, accounting a degradation efficiency of about 97.3% in a 0.1 mg/ml concentration. 90 minutes of catalyst exposure to the antibiotic shows maximum degradation after which there is no further change in amoxicillin concentration. First time we have exploited electrochemical cyclic voltametric (CV) measurement to monitor the degradation process which was validated by FTIR recording, and noticed that the degradation process followed a first order kinetics. We have also discussed the morphological stability of the fabricated Zn porphyrin MOF after antibiotic exposure and reported a comparative outline between catalytic efficiency of different MOF species. High porosity and effective charge transfer between carboxyphenyl) porphyrin ligand to vacant d orbital of Zn+2 are pivotal factors for effective sorption and degradation of amoxicillin antibiotics dark at room temperature. We would expect the developed Zn porphyrin MOF is very promising for successful commercial application due to its energy efficiency (dark) and simple process for effective degradation of antibiotics.","PeriodicalId":7327,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90614849","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 work deals with the study of the physico-chemical characteristics of binders based on sewage sludge ashes and lime. In a first step, we used X-ray fluorescence to determine the chemical composition of ash, lime and binders. This allowed us to see that the chemical composition of sewage sludge ash is similar to that of cement. We then used X-ray diffraction to identify the main mineralogical phases in the samples. Compressive strengths of mortars containing 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of SSA showed that SSA has a long-term positive effect which might be related to a slight pozzolanic activity. The L4 binder consisting of 80% fine ash and 20% lime has a higher compressive strength than the others. The binder setting start time is greater than that of cement but shorter than that of lime. The study of the thermophysical properties of the L4 binder shows that it has a higher thermal resistance than cement and clay mortars. Moreover, it heats up less quickly because of its low effusivity compared to the latter two. This analysis highlighted the principal characteristics that must be taken into account to use SSA correctly in lime-based materials.","PeriodicalId":7327,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75418162","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 actual investigation reports on the application of γ-irradiation method for the synthesis of superparamagnetic CoFe2O4, using metal salts precursors and organic reagents. The material fabrication occurs in two main steps as sofar described.

Furthermore, the X-ray diffraction data revealed the presence of a reverse spinel structure. The magnetic properties of the fabricated powder exhibited the measured lower coercivity and remanence, demonstrating that the spinel powders are made of superparamagnetic particles and finally, to gain information about the photocatalytic properties of the synthetized material, the room temperature recorded optical measurements for different samples proved that these powder materials may probably exhibit new opportunities which could improve their high photocatalytic efficiency under visible light.
