Steel

Titanium is a low-density element (has 60% density of steel), that be able to be highly modified by alloying and distortion processing. Titanium is non magnetic, non toxic and has good heat transfer properties. Titanium and its alloys have melting points advanced those of steels, but maximum useful temperatures for structural applications usually range from 425-540C°. Titanium has good resistance to attack by most mineral acids and chlorides [ASM]. The combination of high strength, stiffness,…

accessories like a draw bar for other towing needs. The draw bar makes it possible to connect other trailers that have pins or have tongues that cannot accommodate a ball. This draw bar is designed with a 1.25-inch hole, and it comes with two stainless steel pins for easy attachment to the Tow & Stow hitch. It is easy to install. The receiver hitch is dropped down in the stow position, and the draw bar is held in position with the two pins. This hitch may…

is precursor to stress corrosion cracking. If some pits are formed in proper condition, growth of crack takes place and propagation happens. Chu et al. (2004) had demonstrated microcracks during initiation. In Chu’s experiment X-65 pipeline steel samples were exposed to synthetic soil environment for 61 days and 111 days, and the morphology of two samples are shown in Figure 3. It was concluded that majority of initiated microcracks were generated from pits at metallurgical…

Beryllium General Characteristics According to Hornbostel (1991), Beryllium is a hard, exceptionally, lightweight, gray-white metal, corrosion resistant at ordinary temperatures; chemically it is related to aluminum. Other than titanium, it is the only light metal which has both good strength and a high melting point. Additionally, it is a good electrical conductor, has high modulus of elasticity, exceptionally transmit x-rays and sounds at very high velocities. Moreover, it has the ability to…

Trusses are composed of straight members connected at their ends by hinged connections to form a stable configuration. When loads are applied to a truss only at the joints, forces are transmitted only in the direction of each of its members. That is, the members experience tension or compression forces, but not bending forces. Trusses have a high strength to weight ratio and consequently are used in many structures, from bridges, to roof supports, to space stations.The Pros of a Truss Bridge 1.…

3.3.3 Selection of Die Angles The split die was designed for the ease of assembly for fabrication. AISI 52100 steel was selected as the material for the die fabrication. The entry part of the die is 12 mm and has 120 mm length. The profile of the die is also shown in the solid works software. The angle of the die is 90 is maintained, the slope radius is 20 mm. the Figure.3.1 & Figure. 3.2. illustrate the split die design and solid works model of the split die. Figure. 3.1 : Split die…

not fixated. Instead, it is a portable and retractable device you can bring with you in your outdoor trips. The best carports for this generation are the ones made of metal, usually of aluminum or steel. There are also that has core panels made of insulated polystyrene foam. This is also wrapped with steel or aluminum. Most metal carports are very durable and affordable. But these kinds of carport are less attractive compared to the aluminum. The aluminum carports has simulate wood look and…

2.9 Material Properties 2.9.1 Hardness Test Hardness is defined as a measure of a material’s resistance to contained plastic deformation (e.g., a small dent or scratch). Hardness testing comprises a small indenter being enforced into the surface of the material being confirmed under organized circumstances of load and rate of application. The depth or size of the resulting indentation is measured, which in turn is linked to a hardness number; weaker the material, indentation will be the…

\par Magnesium: As aluminum has been established as a leading role in automotive industry, the use of magnesium in automobile applications is yet limited. Magnesium exhibits a poor formability whereas aluminum has superior formability at room temperature. The main features of ductile magnesium alloys are that they have homogeneous microstructure which is free of brittle inter-metallic particles and having uniform plastic deformation promoted by its grain size as well as its crystallographic…

Industrialization in America could not have been achieved with a few key factors. Among these are the rich environment in America, a sympathetic and supportive government that remains deferential to private ownership, talented business leaders, railroads, and technology. The mineral deposits in the land as well as the presence of business visionaries like Andrew Carnegie were equally important in the overarching success of the American Industrial Revolution. Andrew Carnegie’s ability to…
