Study of intermetallic compounds of X182CrN11-1steel hot dipped into molten aluminum
Aluminum coating technique has been applied toimprove high temperature oxidation resistance of steels. Thismethod is adopted widely due to the low cost and goodperformance. The principle of hot-dip aluminizing isaccomplished by immersing materials into molten aluminumbath to form multiple aluminized layers on the surface ofmaterial by atomic inter-diffusion between dipped materials andaluminum. This work focuses on the study of intermetallic layersformed during the hot dip aluminizing of steel with 1.82 %carbon strongly combined with chromium (10.8 %) into a moltenaluminum bath. The X182CrN11-1 steel specimens wereimmersed into molten aluminum at 750°C for 1h, 2h and 3h.Intermetallic compounds were analyzed by optical microscopeand scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This study is complementedby microhardness testing.The results showed that hot dip aluminized layer was dividedinto an outer pure aluminum topcoat and an intermetallic layer.This intermetallic layer consisted of an outer FeAllayer and aninner Fe2Al53layer with tongue/finger-like morphology and themicrohardness testing records high values of the intermetallicformed (through the) up to 800Hv0 Voir les détails

Phase transition phenomena in an iron phosphateglass and thermal stability criteria
The thermal stability of an iron phosphate glassdedicated to radioactive waste confinement is a crucialcharacteristic for the integrity of the waste package. In this study,we investigate the thermal stability criteria defined by Hruby,Weinberg and Lu/Liu by measuring the glass transitiontemperature (Tg), the crystallization temperature (T), and themelting temperature (T) of an iron phosphate glass loaded withradioactive waste. These temperatures decrease when loading theglass with the waste: Tg decreases from 623.48 °C to 580.04 °C,Tcmfrom 766.34 to 679.26 °C and Tfrom 932.76 °C to 919.75 °C.Thermal stability criteria show satisfactory values, in the interval0.14 0.69.

Analytical Characterization of Nd2FeB sinteredmagnet14
The remarkable properties (magnetism andcorrosion resistance)of the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet areassociated with the presence of other metal elements thatNeodymium-Iron-Boron like Cu, Mn, Al, V, Ni and others. Withan aim of having information on the components in the Nd-Fe-Bmatrix and on the distribution of these elements, in this work, theNAA has highlighted the presence of several metallic elements.Using a mass ratio equal to an activity ratio we can calculate theproportions of detected Elements. The results are: iron with51.30%, neodymium with 25.41% and other elements like nickelwith 1.25%. The rest from the matrix, 22.04%, represents theproportions of B and the other elements traces. In this work weare interested in neutron activation analysis (NAA) in the onlyreason is to identify the metallic Elements in trace (ppm). Voir les détails

Elaboration of Metallic oxide nanopowder Fe dopedZnO
Among the methods of elaboration the metallicoxide nanopowders based on green chemistry,co-precipitation isa simple process used for industrial production in differentsectors .It is the preparation of an aqueous solution containingthe desired cation then mixing with a solution containing theprecipitating agent .the precipitate is then separated from theliquid by filtration, washing, drying and then thermallydecomposing to yield the desired product.Our study focused on pure and Fe doped ZnO nanopowders(Zn1-xFeO, x=0.0,0.005,0.02,0.05 and 0.15)prepared by coprecipitationmethode at room temperature with zinc acetate as azinc source. Samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscope (SEM), infrared spectroscopy IRand UV-visible spectroscopy.xAll powders are polycrystalline with a hexagonal (wurtzite),grain powders were nanometric sizes. From a doping level thesecondary phase ZnFe2O4 appear and found a decrease in grainsize and increase internal stresses with increasing theconcentration of Fe dopant. SEM images show the existence ofsettlements powder particles in spherical form. IR infraredspectroscopy we identified in the specific vibration and the peakcharacteristic of the ZnO matrix, Zn-O binding was clearlyobserved at around 470 cm-1.the Study of the optical properties ofthe samples clearly shows the doping effect on the opticalabsorption spectra and allowed us to determine the opticalabsorption edge and the width of the gap.

Effect of cold rolling on texture evolution duringprimary recrystallization of an IF steel
In the present study, we present the effect of cold rolling on texture evolution during primary recrystallization of an IF steelthat is destined to the automotive industry. From the hot rolled sheet, three deformation rates were performed by cold rolling: 25, 50and 75 % followed by several heat treatments in order to obtain the fully recrystallized states. Microhardness Vichers was used toestimate the recrystallized fraction and XRD (X-ray diffraction)for the texture characterization. The results show that texture of thehot rolled sample is near random and its evolution is very low for the 25% reduced sample. However, texture become more importantfor 50% and 75% reduces states, with the strengthening of -fiber and the appearance of -fiber. The evolution of texture duringprimary recrystallization is quite different. Recrystallization of the 25% and 50% cold rolled states shows a maximum of the ODF on{223}<110> component and texture tends generally to be random. The recrystallization texture of the 75% reduced sample ischaracterized by a -fiber more intense than - fiber and a maximum of the ODF around the component {111}<110>. It was observedalso that -fiber starts to develop during the primary recrystallization of the 50% rolled state, and becomes more pronounced duringrecrystallization of the 75% cold rolled sample.

Impact resolution methods of contact on themechanical behavior of structures
Contact problems are inherently non-linear due tothe instability of the contact surface. The analysis of theseproblems has a great importance in the industrial applications. Inmany industrial processes of working such as stamping, rollingand forming, the phenomena of contact play an essential role.The numerical simulation of these problems can raise seriousdifficulties on the level of modelling and computing time.There are various numerical methodsfor managing contact between two solid or between a solidand a rigid surface. Several contacting methods are used in thetreatment of contact problems. The method of penalty andlagrangian method that exists in finite element codes such asANSYS,ABAQUS,...In order to remove the advantages and disadvantages of thesemethods, a comparative analysis on the mechanical behavior ofstructure based on a case study is the subject of this study.

Numerical analysis of Hydrogen embrittlement ofhigh strength steels using Monte Carlo method
A probabilistic approach has been applied tohydrogen desorption phenomena in the wire rod for pre-stressedconcrete. The phenomena was treated in a deterministic study byCarneiro in 2010 , this work aims to reflect uncertainty propertyof the material of a high carbon steel such as effective diffusioncoefficient (De)and concentration parameters(C).
