Corrosion behaviour of AA2024 aluminium alloy in different tempers in NaCl solution and with the CeCl3 corrosion inhibitor
(Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2020)
The paper analyses the corrosion behaviour of naturally and artificially aged AA2024 alloy in NaCl solution and in the presence of an environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor, CeCl3. On the basis of the values of polarisation ...
Remaining strength of API J55 steel casing pipes damaged by corrosion
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Experimental investigation of the integrity of casing pipes, used in the oil drilling rigs, withdrawn after about 70,000 h of service, has been conducted, together with numerical simulation. Pipes were manufactured by the ...
Failure resistance of drilling rig casing pipes with an axial crack
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Working conditions of casing pipes in drilling rigs can significantly influence the initiation and development of damage in the material, and therefore also the safe service of the entire system. In this work, an integrity ...
Microstructure and toughness of CuNiMo austempered ductile iron
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
The effect of austempering on the microstructure and toughness of nodular cast iron (designated as CuNiMoSG) alloyed with molybdenum, copper, nickel, and manganese has been studied. Light microscopy (LM), scanning electron ...
Micromechanical assessment of mismatch effects on fracture of high-strength low alloyed steel welded joints
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Fracture of steel welded joints produced with one or two weld metals is analysed; the latter (double mismatched) consist of overmatched and undermatched portion. Specimens with a pre-crack in the symmetry plane of each ...
Set-up of a pre-test mock-up experiment in preparation for the HCPB Breeder Unit mock-up experimental campaign
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2013)
The complexity of the experimental set-up for testing a full-scaled Breeder Unit (BU) mock-up for the European Helium Cooled Pebble Bed Test Blanket Module (HCPB-TBM) has motivated to build a pre-test mock-up experiment ...
The failure analysis of the star-separator of an aircraft cannon
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
This paper analyzes the causes of fracture of the double pipe aerial cannon stellate starseparator, which occurred during the fighting plane mission. The linear finite element method (FEM) is used to determine the stresses ...
Hydrogen damage of steels: A case study and hydrogen embrittlement model
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Many efforts have been made to understand the effects of hydrogen on steels, resulting in an abundance of theoretical models and papers. However, a fully developed and practically applicable predictive physical model still ...
Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation in friction stir welded joint made of Al 2024-T351 alloy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
In this work, fatigue crack propagation in thin-walled aluminium alloy structure with two friction stir welded T joints has been simulated numerically. Crack propagation in stiffened part of the structure between two ...
Effect of Al2O3 nanoparticles and strontium addition on structural, mechanical and tribological properties of Zn25Al3Si alloy
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
Nanocomposites were synthesized via compocasting using Zn25Al3Si and Zn25Al3Si0.03Sr alloys as the matrices and nanoparticles of Al2O3 (1 wt%) as the reinforcement. Structure of the nanocomposites was examined, and their ...
