The present work is a contribution in investigating the effect of heat treatment on microstructure, hardness, and friction wear of A105N steel. Samples of 25x25 mm² cross-section and15mm thickness have been prepared from the as-received material and then heat-treated. The samples were austenitized at 1050°C for 60 minutes followed by water quenching, then tempered at 500 and700°C for 120 minutes. Microstructural changes and their effect on the wear resistance and hardness were investigated according to the applied heat treatments. The main results show that after quenching the structure is mostly composed of quenched martensite, which confers high hardness and friction resistance to the steel. While the tempered structure is composed of tempered martensite and ferrite.As the temperature rises to 700°C, the tempered martensite decreases and is fully transformed to ferrite and cementite. A good wear resistance is expressed by a low friction coefficient and a low wear rate is achieved by tempering at 500°C. Voir les détails

Often, surface mechanical treatment (SMT) or heat (quenching, tempering) is used to improve the surface condition andmechanical characteristics such as impact resistance and tensile strength. Hence the objective of this experimental work, whereball burnishing (BB) as well as quenching and tempering were applied on S355 JR steel specimens, is to evaluate the surfacehardness Hv, the rupture strength Rm, the energy absorbed W during the impact test, and the work-hardened thickness e after theburnishing operation. Factorial designs were used for the test organization and mathematical models were established for theprediction of Hv, Rm, W, and “e” in function on treatment parameters considered: number of tool passes (i) and the pressure force(Py). The results show that the surface hardness increases by 30.46%. The high levels of Py and i were allowed to improve Rm by30.8% as well as an increase in tenacity of only 3.6%. Increasing the force to 20kgf promotes mixed rupture under the effect ofimpact to shock. The quenching and tempering improve the Rupture strength Rm by 183% and 119%, respectively, while theeffect of burnishing was limited to a rate of increase of this property of 28% compared to machining.

This work aimed to study the microstructure, wear and corrosion resistance of supermartensitic stainless steel (SMSS). Heat treatment applied to samples consists of quenching after austenitization at elevated temperature (1250 °C) followed by a double tempering at 650 °C. Conventional mechanical properties, scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) analysis and X-ray diffraction methods (XRD) are used to analyze the microstructure and to evaluate the wear mechanisms. The potentiodynamic polarisation and the electrochemical impedance spectroscoopy (EIS) methods are used to evaluate the corrosion resistance in both the 0.5M H2SO4 and 0.5M NaCl aggressive media. The microstructure is mainly composed with tempered lath martensite, small quantity of retained austenite and carbides. Oxidative and abrasive wear dominated the wear process in dry condition. During the corrosion process, the same mechanism of degradation was found in both the 0.5M NaCl and 0.5M H2SO4. Voir les détails

The conventional EC method is used for near-surface defects finding [5] [48] [12] [2]. On the other hand, and in order to control great depths, pulsed eddy currents are used [35] [48] [12] [2]. Through this project we aim to realize an analogue-digital PEC-NDT system, interfaced by a microcomputer. A set of experiments is carried out in order to prove the sensitivity of the designed system towards some parameters [2], where the determined mechanical properties are compared with the results obtained in order to in order to confirm some hypotheses [32].

Caractérisation et modélisation numérique d’un composite époxy/Alfa.

A. MOUHOUB  (2020)
Mémoire de Master

Nowdays, natural fiber composites are increasingly getting great interest on an industrial scale. This undeniable success is linked to the intrinsic properties of natural fibers reinforcements and to their ecological character. Our study consists in characterizing the mechanical properties in tensile, bending and ultrasonic as well as morphological characterization by optical and scanning electron microscopy in order to evaluate their aptitude to replace synthetic fiber composites. The material to be characterized is composed of an epoxy matrix reinforced with 20% in weight Alfa short fibers. Numerical modeling using the finite element method allowed us to predict the Young's modulus of our randomly reinforced biocomposites. The ANSYS modeling software was used to generate the 3D representative elementary volume and to calculate the Young's modulus of the composite. The experimental results recorded are close to those obtained by numerical modeling. The latter remains therefore the goal to reach. Voir les détails

Mémoire de Master

This work is related to the study of the friction welding process. This type of welding has many applications in different branches of industry. This process has many advantages. First, the very high quality assemblies can be made. In addition, this process is much faster than any other conventional processes. Furthermore, it can be completely automated so that constant quality is guaranteed. The aim of this study is the optimization of the parameters of friction welding: (by varying the friction time [s] and the rotational speed [rpm], forging time [s] and the friction pressure and forging [MPa] remain constant). An experimental procedure was used to obtain a welded junction (alu-alu), the alloy used is Al 6013-T8. We used several characterization methods, simple but effective and suitable for this kind of research work; such as microstructural characterization by optical microscope and mechanical characterization namely microhardness and tensile testing. We observed that the microstructure has three zones (TMAZ, HAZ and MDZ), The microhardness profile has a certain homogeneity and the tensile tests have shown that the tensile strength, elongation and elastic limit increase with increased friction time. In general, the mechanical properties are influenced by the overall effect of the metallographic structure of the weld. The latter is closely linked to the process parameters. Voir les détails

Segmentation des images radiographiques

I. karmal, A. Henniche  (2020)
Mémoire de Master

Image segmentation is an important step in any image analysis process. The subject has already been tackled by multiple approaches. These approaches are based on various tools such as mathematical morphology, wavelet decomposition, active contours; some are based on the detection of contours and others on the identification of regions. Each of these classes of methods has its advantages and disadvantages. In this dissertation, we present the different segmentation approaches and we choose a hybrid method for segmenting chest X-ray images composed of two algorithms. One is the FCM as an initial contour for the other segmentation method LEVEL SET which is a variant of the deformable models based on the active contour method, we injecting the images resulting from this segmentation process into a convolutional neural network (CNN) in order to classify them according to the pathological state. Therefore the aim of our work is the implementation of a model for segmentation and classification of medical X-ray images to assist doctors in the detection of pulmonary pathologies.

Mémoire de Master

Rotational friction welding is a solid state welding process, which has seen spectacular development in various industries. It offers the possibility of producing very high quality solder joints in an extremely short time. The objective of this work is to improve the operating parameters of this process by changing the friction time (periods) and fixing the other parameters namely the speed of rotation [round per minute], the forging time [s], the friction and forging pressure [MPa]. The major problem with the disimmilar assembly of aluminum and stainless steel alloys is the low mechanical strength in the welded joint, due to the formation of certain unwanted inter-metal compounds during welding. An experimental procedure was used to obtain an Al6013-T8 /304L stainless steel welded joint with and without copper insertion. Different characterization methods were used namely x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, HV microhardness and tensile testing. The Al6013-T8 side microstructure reveals the formation of two zones, the HAZ and the TMAZ at the center of the junction, unlike 304L stainless steel, which has not undergone any mechanical deformation. The microhardness of Al6013-T8 increased in the vicinity of the junction, and tensile testing revealed that the mechanical characteristics of the joints increase with increasing friction time.
