In this experiment eight samples of 8620 steel were tested using heat treating, quenching, and tempering. One sample was normalized by heat treating, one was annealed by heat treating and oven cooling, one sample was water quenched, and the final five samples were oil quenched. Four of the oil quenched samples were tempered at the following temperatures: 1000°F, 1100°F, 1200°F, and 1300°F. Each sample underwent Rockwell Hardness testing and three Izod Impact Toughness Tests and the averaged results are shown in Figure 1 As can be seen in the graph, water quenched yielded the highest average hardness of 63.484 Rockwell Hardness C (HRC) and annealed yielded the lowest value of 13.16 HRC. It was determined that toughness increased with the increasing

Amanda Palato Dr. Layton Jesus and the Gospels 14 May 2018 Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman (John 4:1-26) Through Jesus, God’s love and deliverance is made accessible for everyone, and through him, you will have everlasting life. In John 6:47, the author states, "I am telling you the truth: he who believes has eternal life" (NIV). John 4:1-26 directly shows how if you are willing believe in him, you will have eternal life. Jesus will ignore any circumstances of an individual to show his love.
When it comes to the Mohs Scale of Hardness, the very hardest material known to man is diamond, which most people know. What they might not know is that tungsten comes in second on that list. Where diamonds have a hardness of 10, tungsten carbide is a
Children between the age of Five and Seven will be tested with a new drug to reduce hyperactivity. In this experiment, there should be three groups with three different ages: Five years, Six years, and Seven years old. There has to be an equal number of boys and girls in each age group for each group there will also be a control group. The children will be chosen through random assignment to be placed in an experimental group or the control group. All six groups will be in a kid-friendly environment such as a playground or park for one hour.
As new variations of ‘community’ programs and ‘community’ engagement emerge, many programs and organizations have been created for the so-called betterment of society. The term ‘community’ is particularly vague and value-laden; it is often a term that glosses over the social, economic and cultural differentiation of localities or peoples (Head, 2007). Local communities and community organizations can contribute to the process of social change, but one problem is that the term ‘social change’ can signify different meanings (DeFilippis et al, 2010). For example from the standpoint of this course, we would determine social change as a dismantling and restructuring of the current status quo, but on the other hand certain organizations could describe
Ceramics have high hardness and wear resistance, making them suitable for applications such as the articulating surfaces in joints and bone bonding surfaces in implants. Ceramics like alumina and zirconia are more appropriate to use in joint replacements and dentistry whereas hydroxyapatite or calcium
Carbon has been accepted as a very important component of refractories after 1950’s. The addition of carbon results to a better thermal and chemical resistance and hence the life of refractory linings has been increased, which ultimately reduces the cost of steel production. [44, 45] Nowadays carbon containing refractories have been recognized for many different applications. As described by Sidinei N Silva et al [46] high alumina bricks were generally used in the torpedo ladle because of its compatibility with the acidic slag along with the hot metal transportation. But due to the formation of eutectic phase at lower temperature and to have better thermo-mechanical stress later on ASC bricks have been effectively used in charge pad and slag line area of torpedo ladle.[47-48] In recent years, with the development of blast furnace melting technology, melting
The steel-framed building have a huge advantage compare to prefabricated components, which can be assembled in a short period of time at site. Unlike concreting, which is conducted by a wet process, steel is produced and subsequently fabricated within a controlled environment. This ensures high quality, with enhanced speed of construction at site and improved precision. Fabrication of steelwork carried out in shops is precise and of assured quality, while field fabrication is comparatively of inferior in quality. Structural steel passes through various operations during the course of its fabrication such as surface cleaning, machining, bending, fastening, finishing and transportation.
High-strength All ceramic restorations, with different composition, structure, and processing methods, have been introduced as an alternative to metal ceramic restorations in many applications (1). Due to their translucency and strength, IPS e.max ceramics have become increasingly popular as dental restorative materials (2) .They can be used as a substructure (core) to support the more fragile veneering ceramics in dental crowns (3-5). However few data in literature were about different coping thicknesses of IPS e.max to determine the optimum thickness which allows more conservative preparation and gives space for the veneering material.
Background: Cut-and-chip is a phenomena in tires that manifests itself primarily from prolonged off-road use. As the tires are used off-road, the tread compound will be cut by rocks and eventually large pieces of the tread rubber are chipped off. Current tests involve manufacturing a series of test tires and sending them to a test track in Texas. The tires are then run on a controlled gravel road. Each set of tires is run for 1000 miles, 500 each day for two days. In each set of 500 miles, 100 miles are on flint rock and 400 miles are on the highway. The tires are then ranked visually by multiple engineers to determine which rubber compounds demonstrate the best cut-and-chip resistance. Thus, current testing is expensive, time-intensive, and subjective. Students at Ohio Northern University therefore built a tester that can use a lab test for tread rubber compounds. Cooper will be able to save time and money by testing much fewer compounds with the road test. However, although this tester is a very successful design, the cut-and-chip lab test using this tester is a brand new idea that has never been done by any engineers, as we know. Therefore, a summer intern project was created to investigate the usage of the tester and the cut-and-chip lab test. It should be noted that the investigation is a proof of concept study that many trials have to be performed to use the lab test for tread rubber compounds to

The Engineers Australia event that I attended was based on the structural design behind steel members and its response to elevated temperatures, specifically from fire. Dr Allan Jowsey, a fire engineer and estimation manager, introduced fire engineering and the calculations required for using specific steel members. Before this event, I never knew that fire engineering existed. Although my major is chemical, I can still appreciate the thought process for choosing specific thicknesses of steel and the coatings required. Jowsey explained that the thickness of steel was primarily based on the limiting temperature, which is the temperature at which the member loses its load bearing capacity and not to total failure. The lower the
Copper and copper alloys are widely applied in instruments and machines due to its high strength, excellent properties of thermal conductivity, and low price.With the rapid development of modern industry, people put forward higher demands for Cu alloy.The demand is in both terms quality as well as quantity, for the latter part research has been focused on the improvements in extraction processes, mining from ores than further extraction of copper to its purest form to increase productivity in measures of quantity. Also from a long time quality of metals is also a big challenge for a metallurgist. Quality measured in many terms like wear resistant, corrosion resistant, ductility, conductivity(both electrical and thermal), durability, abrasion etc. But as a metallurgical engineer our focus is on improving the mechanical properties like hardness, yield strength, ductility, corrosion resistance (environment specific), thermal properties and microstructure. It has been observed that cryogenic treatment can play the effects of increasing mechanical properties and dimensional stability.
To achieve a high productivity, welding processes with large heat input such as submerged arc welding (SAW) are widely used in industries and constriction of different works. The large heat input will significantly change the microstructure and mechanical properties especially the grain size and toughness.
The Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) is the most critical component in the LWR pressure boundary. It is the only component in this boundary whose failure is considered to be of such low probability that it is considered essentially incredible. NRC regulations require that RPV steels maintain conservative margin for fracture toughness so that flaws do not threaten the integrity of a RPV during either normal operation and maintenance cycles or under accident transients such as Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) (6). The major technical issues regarding aging of RPV include: high fluences, for long times that may lead to high emrittlement creating large uncertainties for emrittlement predictions (7). Increasing nickel content in the RPV steel, all other factors being equal, causes increasing emrittlement (7). The degradation mechanisms that may affect RPV include Irradiation embrittlement, Thermal ageing, Temper embrittlement, Fatigue and Corrosion (8).
