Heat treating steels to increase their hardness strength has been a process that has been done for centuries. In addition to this, reasoning was found for why it is uncommon to see heat treatment in materials with low carbon content, such as low carbon steels (1018 steel) and brass. The results of this experiment coincide with what was expected, and no obvious errors in the experiment were found. One factor of this experiment that could be improved is the quality of the micrographs that were produced. To do this, the metallurgical preparation of the material would need to be done in a much more precise and consistent way. The instructions were clearly laid out, but the execution of the instructions varied too much between individual samples, and consequently produced lackluster images for analysis. In the future, some recommendations to improve the quality of the finished surfaces could be to keep fresh abrasive pads on the ECOMET polishing machines, taking extra care when preparing and handling the etching solutions, and observing the surface finish of the material directly after the etching process is…

In today's world where technology and advancements has flourished, majority comes to one main source to run on… Energy. There is several alternative methods on producing energy, some more efficient or safer than others. The most common and traditional source of energy in today's world is coal power, but other alternatives do exist such as that of natural gas, solar, wind, hydroelectric and nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is the 3rd most common source of our energy. Nuclear energy was first introduced in 1954 in Russia with the first power plant. Nuclear energy provides about 20% of today's electricity and does provide a substantial amount of energy, but does provide threats of radioactivity.…
Nuclear energy is one of the hottest topics in the fight to a cleaner world. The number of people who believe that nuclear energy is too dangerous and unhealthy for the earth has skyrocketed because of the nuclear accidents that have happened in the past and recently. These protesters may have a lot of evidence and theories about how bad this type of energy can be, but the people who have realized that nuclear energy is the way to a cleaner and more “Green” society have proof and facts that overrule anything that the protesters say.…
Humans have always tried to find innovative, powerful and valid energy sources in order to be able to supply the several needs of modern societies. In this sense, nuclear power is considered one of the most controversial technologies related to the new millennium.…
ISSN: 2277-3754 ISO 9001:2008 Certified International Journal of Engineering and Innovative Technology (IJEIT) Volume 2, Issue 11, May 2013 Application of Taguchi Methods and ANOVA in GTAW Process Parameters Optimization for Aluminium Alloy 7039 Anoop C A, Pawan Kumar Department of Mechanical Engineering, NIT Calicut (Kerala), India VRDE, Defence Research and Development Organization, Ahmednagar (MS), India Vainarman et al. [2] reported that the use of pulsed arc welding in place of conventional GTAW increases the output by 200–400%, reduces consumption of argon by three to ten times, and also reduces the cost of 1 m weld deposition by three to five times. The aim of pulsing is mainly to achieve maximum penetration without excessive heat build-up, by using the high current pulses to penetrate deeply and then allowing the weld pool to dissipate some of the heat during relatively longer arc period at a low current. The increased numbers of variables in the pulsed GTAW process also support the possibility of increased control of the solidification process.…
Stainless steel is made up of many different types of metal to make just a single piece of steel. Metal alloy is mixed in with chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon, aluminum, and carbon. Iron is the main component mixed in with carbon to make stainless steel. The ingredient that makes the steel rust resistant is chromium, nickel makes corrosion resistant in case of a very harsh way it is used. Scarring is also common is stainless steel so molybdenum makes the steel scarring resistant. Copper, titanium, and vanadium is also important ingredients to making the steel it is used to improve properties and the structure.…
Stainless steel is an important necessity in today’s society. Although, if it weren’t for Harry Brearley we would not have known about stainless steel. It is also important that we know about how it is made, what the different properties are and how the different types of steel are useful. Stainless steel has been a part of our world for many, many years and many more to come just it might be a little more advanced than what it was when it was first created. Generally, you might see that kitchen utensils and other household items are made of stainless steel, another example is a refrigerator. Back in 1907 a very important person discovered stainless steel.…
This Chef's Secret Waterless Cookware Set is constructed of 304 surgical stainless steel and guaranteed to last a lifetime. 304 surgical stainless steel construction means that the surface of each utensil is free of tiny pores, making it easier to clean, plus, a pore-free surface will not allow bacteria to grow the way it does in normal cookware.…
One of the biggest supports yet something that does not really help in the long run for some people is social security there are some things that should change in that system. Social security is any government system that provides help to people with no income. With this system there is some laws in it and is one of the systems that deserves change in the government. In the article "Updating Social Security for the 21st Century: 12 Proposals You Should... - AARP." AARP. this article states some of the flaws that is need of change in the social security system “The age when a person becomes eligible to receive full Social Security retirement benefits (the full retirement age) has been increasing from age 65 on a schedule set by Congress in…
The experiment is thus carried out on three samples each of aluminium, copper and stainless steel. The samples were weighed, then subjected to immersion in different solutions. The three solutions used were conc. sulphuric acid, water and conc. Naoh solution. These solutions were chosen so that the range of the pH scale is covered as much as possible, with each having pH values of 4, 7, and11 respectively.…
