A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF MULTIPHASE STEEL MICROSTRUCTURE DEVELOPED IN FOUR DIFFERENT STEEL ALLOYS W. Khraisat Journal of Mining and Metallurgy Section B Metallurgy, 2025 In this work, quench and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment was performed on four different steel alloys in order to obtain multiphase steels with a microstructure of ferrite, martensite, bainite, and retained austenite. The four alloys are SS1672, 38MnVS6, R350HT and SS2244. They were selected to study the effect of increasing the Mn/Si ratio and the Cr effect on the microstructure. Multiphase steels with retained austenite of different fractions and morphologies in a ferritic-bainitic matrix were obtained depending on the Cr and Si amounts. The detailed characterisation of the microstructural evolution of four heat-treated Q&P steel samples by optical microscopy (OM) was done only to provide a qualitative understanding. Despite these limitations, the OM micrographs were sufficient to confirm and identify the formed phases, especially the bainite phase. This study shows that a high Si levels are not strictly required to suppress pearlite formation during the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) treatment of medium and eutectoid steels, due to the influence of manganese. A Mn/Si ratio greater than 2 is found to be essential for effectively preventing pearlite formation. Additionally, a lower martensite starting temperature (Ms) significantly refines the microstructural features, particularly bainite and retained austenite.
Strain hardening exponent and strain rate sensitivity exponent of dual-phase steels at quasi-static strain rates during tensile testing W. Khraisat Cogent Engineering, 2023 The effects of quasi-static strain rates on the tensile properties of two commercial ferrite-martensite dual-phase DP 600 and DP 800 steels were investigated using strip-shaped samples. The investigation was done by uniaxial tensile tests, covering applicable quasi-static strain rates. The two dual-phase steels show positive strain rate sensitivity. It is found that, as the flow stress increases, the strain-rate sensitivity exponent m decreases. The drop in the strain-rate sensitivity exponent m with strain is largely attributed to the decreased true strain rate caused by the increased instantaneous length of the specimen as the deformation progresses. To better describe the flow behavior of DP steels, a relationship combining the effect of both strain hardening exponent n and strain-rate sensitivity exponent m on the slope of the stress-strain is correlated. A good agreement between the extended Hollomon model and experimental tensile test data from stress-strain measurements is found.

A visual inspection system of glass ampoule packaging defects: effect of lighting configurations Nathir A. Rawashdeh, Jumana M. Abu-Khalaf, Walid Khraisat, Shireen S. Al-Hourani International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 2018 In any pharmaceutical packaging process, error rates must be kept very low to prevent defective or incorrect medicine from reaching the consumer. Published articles include a focus on the inspection of ampoule content for the presence of contaminants. Methods of inspection include optical cameras that record sequential images to detect the movement of floating objects via feature extraction and classification. Other methods employ spectral imaging and dying of ampoules to detect cracks. Thermal imaging is also used to inspect structural integrity and mechanical stress; however, this approach is marked by relatively high cost. This paper describes the enhancement of an optical vision-based inspection system for a glass ampoule packaging process. The developed solution involves a reconfiguration of the illumination system of the ampoule trays as well as reprogramming of a real-time optical camera. The camera is linked to the process controller and triggers the ejection of trays containing faulty ampoules. Eight defect types are of interest, namely: missing ampoules; ampoules without a label; crushed ampoules; ampoules with a broken tip – present or missing; ampoules with a broken base; cracked ampoules; empty ampoules. The original inspection system performance was inadequate and only detected 2 of the 8 defect types reliably. The improved system which is described in this paper has adequately detected all aforementioned defect types. Experiments show that the overall detection rates have improved from 55% to 99.6% on average. Average camera detection accuracy has improved from 38% to 99.5%. In addition, the false positives, i.e. rejection rates, were reduced from 45% to 7%.
The effect of rolling direction on the weld structure and mechanical properties of DP 1000 steel Walid Khraisat, Wisam Abu Jadayil, Yazan Al-Zain, Sa’ed Musmar, Chaoqun Wu Cogent Engineering, 2018 Since gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is a common procedure to join different sheets in the industry, the welding direction dependence on the rolling direction was investigated for a welded DP1000, a cold-rolled dual phase steel. Microstructural investigations and mechanical tests were conducted on two weldments; one being welded parallel to the rolling direction and the second transverse to the rolling direction and the results were compared. It was found that there is a higher degree of softening of the heat-affected zone in the sample welded parallel to the rolling direction. Although this softening did not significantly decrease the tensile strength or the hardness of this sample when compared to the one welded transverse to the rolling direction, the elongation was twice as high in the former sample. That is related to the slower heat dissipation in the sample welded parallel to the rolling direction as confirmed by its microstructural products.
The role of phosphorus in pore rounding of sintered steels Walid Khraisat, Wisam Abu Jadayil, Nathir Rawashdeh, Henrik Borgström Cogent Engineering, 2018 The contribution of the surface active element Phosphorus (P) in pore rounding in sintered steels is absent in popular sintering models. Instead, these mathematical models analyze the rate of mass transport, which, according to these models, is driven by chemical potential gradients set up by the differences in the curvature of the free surfaces of the compact of contacting particles. To elucidate the effect that P has on rounding of pores in sintering models, an attempt has been made to incorporate surface curvature in Gibbs’ surface thermodynamics. Using the image analysis method, a comparative study of pore morphology of sintered Iron-Carbon-Phosphorus (Fe-C-P) has been performed to study the effect P has on pore morphology. The application of the shape factor has been used to characterize the morphology of the pores. It was found that morphological enrichment and depletion of P are related to surface stresses as well as to the influence of vacancies.
