In this research, the hot and warm rolling of stainless steel 304 was studied. First the rolling process was simulated using Finite Element Method software ABAQUS and the distribution of temperature and strain in the process under discontinuous conditions were predicted. Next, hot and warm rolling of stainless steel 304 under different conditions was carried out. Specimens were cut and subject to mechanical testing, metallography and electron microscopic studies. Data obtained from these experiments and the predicted trends from ABAQUS were compared, therefore studying the effect of different parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the rolled specimen. Results indicate... 

Interconnected–pore titanium scaffolds were fabricated by sintering of compressed mixture of TiH1.924 and urea or NaCl. Urea was removed by evaporation during sintering and NaCl was removed with water. TiH1.924 was used to enhance gas evolution for perpetuation of foam formation. Morphological studies of the spacer-removed scaffolds showed that the spacer shapes were replicated to the pores. Minimization of stress concentration at walls of the pores was, hence, helped by utilization of the spacers with spherical particles. The scaffolds having relative densities of 0.34 to 0.65 consisted pores of 200 to 600 μm diameter, compression strengths of 51 to 260 MPa, Young’s modulus of 6.3 to 22.66... 

Disorders of the lumbar spine are prevalent within the realm of musculoskeletal issues, emphasizing the importance of investigating contributing factors. This research focuses on assessing how flexible footwear influences the kinematics and dynamics of the vertebral column during drop vertical jump. The study involves mechanical tests on various footwear types, including simple, flexible and re entrant shoes with differing levels of rigidity. Bending tests were performed on simple and flexible shoes with hardness of 50 Asker C and flexible shoes with hardness of 40 Asker C. Additionally, compression tests were carried out on all soles at two different angles. The Bending tests revealed that,... 

Dual Phase ferritic-martensitic steels are kind of high strength low alloy steels (HASLA) which are widely used in industry because of their strength and formability. Since welding of dual phase steels in conventional welding methods causes structural change and Subsequently alters mechanical properties of both weld zone and heat affected zone(HAZ), additional operations which are not commercially viable is needed to achieve a dual phase structure in structurally changed regions. In this study, transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding method is used during dual phasing process in order to preserve dual phase ferritic-martensitic structure and avoid extra heat treatment. Applied pressure during... 

Stainless steels have many applications in different industries like chemistry, medicine and food production. So for using these alloys it is necessary to join them with appropriate method. In this research, microstructure-mechanical properties relationship of 304LC austenitic stainless steel transient liquid phase bonded using a Co-based interlayer was investigated. For this purpose, bonding was conducted at 1180 ℃ for different holding times. Microstructure of the joints was evaluated by optical microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that isothermal solidification (IS) was completed within 1800s and no intermetallic compound was formed in the joint area... 

In this study, low carbon plain steels joined with TLP bonding method using Fe-44Ni-7B-4Mo interlayer, The bonding parameters (holding time, temperature) have been changed to find optimum conditions of TLP bonding. Microstructure and properties of joints have also been investigated. Dual phase processing of the used steel has been carried out during joints homogenization. Microstructural studies with scanning electron microscope and optical microscope showed that isothermal solidification completed at holding for 50 minutes at the bonding temperature of 1180℃. These parameters are taken as optimum conditions of TLP bonding. Microstructure of the isothermally solidified zone (joint region)... 

During the last few years researchers have drawn much attention to HSLA steels because of the application of these steels in many industries. Ferrite-martensite dual phase(DP) steels are one of the most common HSLA steels which are currently used. Combination of these two phases provides good strength along with good ductility. Joining and welding of these steels has always been an important challenge. The aim of this study is to examine applicability of TLP method for joining and dual phase processing of this steels at the same time. Microstructural and mechanical examination of the bonded specimens showed that isothermal solidification occurred during holding for 50 min at the... 

Selecting materials is a key stage for designing vehicles. Today, advanced high-strength steels and stainless steels are attractive by the automotive industry. In this study, the improvement of mechanical properties of the martensitic stainless steels (MSS420 with annealed condition) and advanced high strength martensitic steels (MS1400 with quenched condition), which have a different response to mechanical tests, were investigated. The welding of MSS420 steel was carried out in three phases. In the first phase, the MSS420 double pulse welding with variable second pulse times (0.2s-1.8s) with a constant secondary pulse current of 4 kA and in the second phase a double pulse welding with...
