    AbstractIntegrating innovation and environmental responsibility has become important in pursuing sustainable industrial practices in the contemporary world. These twin imperatives have stimulated research into developing methods that optimize industrial processes, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness while mitigating undesirable ecological impacts. This objective is exemplified by the emergence of biochar derived from the thermo-chemical transformation of biomass. This review examines biochar production methods and their potential applications across various aspects of the iron and steel industries (ISI). The technical, economic, and sustainable implications of integrating biochar into the ISI were explored. Slow pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization are the most efficient methods for higher biochar yield (25–90%). Biochar has several advantages- higher heating value (30–32 MJ/kg), more porosity (58.22%), and significantly larger surface area (113 m2/g) compared to coal and coke. However, the presence of biochar often reduces fluidity in a coal-biochar mixture. The findings highlighted that biochar production and implementation in ISI often come with higher costs, primarily due to the higher expense of substitute fuels compared to traditional fossil fuels. The economic viability and societal desirability of biochar are highly uncertain and vary significantly based on factors such as location, feedstock type, production scale, and biochar pricing, among others. Furthermore, biomass and biochar supply chain is another important factor which determines its large scale implementation. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities to reduce emissions from BF-BOF operations by utilizing biochar technologies. Overall, the present study explored integrating diverse biochar production methods into the ISI aiming to contribute to the ongoing research on sustainable manufacturing practices, underscoring their significance in shaping a more environmentally conscious future.

  • Design and fabrication of biomass densification machine for teaching and research purposes
    Segun E. Ibitoye, Rasheedat M. Mahamood, Tien-Chien Jen, Chanchal Loha, and Esther T. Akinlabi
    Springer Science and Business Media LLC
    AbstractIn developing nations, research output is limited due to factors like unreliable power supply and inadequate laboratory equipment. The high cost of purchasing completed laboratory equipment and the unavailability of accessories for imported equipment further contribute to this issue. A biomass densification machine was designed and constructed to address these challenges for teaching and research purposes. The machine was tested at five different compaction pressures (100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 kPa) using gelatinized cassava starch as a binder. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the produced fuel briquettes were investigated following ASTM standards and procedures reported in the literature. The results show that the physical and mechanical properties of the fuel briquettes increase with compaction pressure. The compressive strength, durability, and water resistance of the briquettes varied between 55 and 101 kN·m−2, 89–99%, and 20–120 min, respectively, while the compressed and relaxed densities range from 0.780 to 1.220 g·cm−3 and 0.670 to 0.990 g·cm−3, respectively. The machine performed satisfactorily because the briquettes’ characteristics were found to meet the specified ISO Standard (17225). The development of this machine will enable academic institutions, researchers, and students to harness the potential of biomass through the densification process without the challenges posed by imported equipment. The creation of the machine will also facilitate students’ hands-on learning. By providing an easily accessible and reliable platform, academic and research institutions can integrate biomass solid fuel production experiments into their curricula, fostering a thorough understanding of renewable energy solutions and supporting sustainable practices. Therefore, it can be recommended for teaching and research in developing nations. Incorporating an electronic component, such as a digital pressure gauge and electric hydraulic jack, is recommended for future research to enhance the performance.

    Springer Science and Business Media LLC
    AbstractFriction stir-based techniques (FSTs), originating from friction stir welding (FSW), represent a solid-state processing method catering to the demands of various industrial sectors for lightweight components with exceptional properties. These techniques have gained much more attraction by providing an opportunity to tailor the microstructure and enhance the performance and quality of produced welds and surfaces. While significant attention has historically been directed towards the FSW process, this review delves into the working principles of FSTs, exploring their influence on mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of various materials. Additionally, emphasis is placed on elucidating the advancement of hybrid FSW processes for both similar and dissimilar metal components, aimed at enhancing welding quality through meticulous control of grain textures, structures, precipitation, and phase transformations. Finally, the review identifies current knowledge gaps and suggests future research directions. This review paper synthesises academic literature sourced from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, supplemented by additional sources such as books from the last 15 years.

    AbstractThe structural integrity of new biocomposite implants is critical in ensuring the success of biomedical implants under physiological loading conditions. Studying the stress distribution, deformation, and potential failure modes under different loading scenarios is complex, expensive, and time-consuming, as it involves repeated surgery on clinical assessment. The present study aims to investigate the biomechanical stability of hip implants made of a Ti–Ha–CaCO3 biocomposite using finite element analysis. The Ti–Ha–CaCO3 biocomposite was modeled and simulated using Solidworks. The model mesh was generated to represent the implant’s geometry accurately, and normal human activities (standing and jumping) were considered the boundary conditions with the lower part of the femur fixed. The model was subjected to static loading following ISO 7206-4 with an equivalent load of 2300 N according to ASTM F2996-13 standard. The Ti–Ha–CaCO3 biocomposite demonstrated outstanding biomechanical stability under loading circumstances. The maximum von Mises stress (354.7 MPa) observed with the GSB-femur model in the implant was below the yield strength of the titanium implant, indicating that the implant can withstand applied loads without experiencing permanent deformation. However, 74.11 MPa was obtained as acceptable von Mises stress using GSB intramedullary rods for bone fixation. The most stable implant is DSB, with the lowest displacement value of 2.68 mm. Low equivalent strains were achieved for all the implants, as the highest strain (0.012) was obtained in the simulation of the stem DSB-femur model. Low-stress signals (SS) were obtained for the implant-femur models, indicating they are suitable for replacing bone for that loading. The DSB (7.19) is the most suitable among the studied stem-femur models, and GSB (0.87) remains the suitable intramedullary rod-femur model with the lowest SS.

    AbstractTitanium alloy Ti6Al4V has been widely applied to medical, automotive, and aerospace industries due to its excellent properties such as high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. On the other hand, additive manufacturing (AM) technology can give the freedom of design of the products. In order to spread the AMed products, the joining of AMed and wrought products are required, and it is important to understand the joint characteristics. In this study, butt welding of Ti6Al4V plate was conducted by fiber laser in argon shielding, and the joint characteristics of laser weld wrought/wrought, AMed/AMed, and AMed/wrought Ti6Al4V plates were experimentally investigated. The AMed plate has higher tensile strength than wrought plate but the elongation of AMed plate is smaller, since AMed plate has α’ martensite due to rapid cooling during laser irradiation in AM process. Then, the laser weld joint of AMed/AMed plates has higher tensile strength, but smaller elongation than that of wrought/wrought plates. The weld joint of AMed/wrought plates shows good welding state, since small heat input leads to formation of small weld bead with higher hardness between wrought and AMed plates.

    Abstract The Ti6Al4V alloys are finding various industrial applications due to their attractive attributes, which can be enhanced via heat-treatment processes. In this study, titanium sheets (Ti6Al4V) were manufactured through laser metal deposition (LMD) using Ti6Al4V powder of particle sizes between 45–90 μm. The build parameters used are optimized at a laser power of 400 W, powder feed rate of 2.4 g/min, hatch spacing of 0.9652 mm, and scanning rotated at 90° between successive layers. The built block is sliced using a wire-electric discharge machine (EDM) into sheets of 2 mm thickness. The resulting blocks were joined using the butt configuration through laser beam welding technology. Post-weld heat treatments were conducted on the welds above the β transus temperature of 995°C. Material characterizations of the evolving properties were conducted using Optical Microscopy, Vickers microhardness, and tensile testing. The investigations show that the heat-treated samples have enhanced properties and can be recommended. The outcome of this research is significant as it gives insight into the optimization of laser welding and post-weld heat treatment parameters of Titanium Alloy Grade 5 for industrial applications.

    AbstractThe feasibility of joining laser metal deposited Ti6Al4V sheets using laser beam welding was investigated in this article. The additive manufactured sheets were joined using a 3 kW CW YLS-2000-TR ytterbium laser system. The mechanical properties and microstructure of the welded additive manufactured parts (AM welds) were compared with those of the wrought sheets welded using the same laser process. The welds were characterized and compared in terms of bead geometry, microhardness, tensile strength, fractography, and microstructure. The differences in characteristics are majorly found in the width of the bead and tensile strength. The bead width of AM welds appear wider than the wrought welds, and the wrought welds exhibited higher tensile strength and ductility than the AM welds.

    The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported that consumption of fossil fuels and their products has contributed about 65% of the global greenhouse gas emission. Therefore, it is expedient to look for alternative energy sources for an eco-friendly environment. The EPA recommended using biomass energy as a promising stabilization option to alleviate global climate change.  This study focused on developing composites fuel briquettes from a blend of carbonized corncob and banana stalk. Carbonization was carried out at 380 oC, while 60 min was adopted as the residence time. Briquettes were manufactured at different blending ratios (90CC:10BS, 80CC:20BS, 70CC:30BS, 60CC:40BS and 50CC:50BS of corncob: banana stalk, respectively) and compaction pressures (50, 70 and 90 kPa) using gelatinized starch as binder. The manufactured briquettes' calculated and actual calorific values varied between 18.98-22.07 MJ/kg and 20.22-23.12 MJ/kg, respectively, while shatter indices were in the range of 38.22-89.34%. The compressed and relaxed densities of the fuel briquettes were in the range of 0.32-1.39 g/cm3 and 0.22-1.02 g/cm3, respectively. The relaxation ratio and water resistance properties varied between 1.11- 2.21 and 11-23 min, respectively. Analyses of the results revealed that compaction pressure, blending ratio, and particle size substantially affect the combustion and physico-mechanical characteristics of the manufactured fuel briquettes. When optimum combustion and physico-mechanical properties are required, a sample made from 90CC:10BS (S1) is recommended for use. The fuel briquettes manufactured in this study possess the required thermal and physico-mechanical properties of solid fuel; therefore, it is recommended for different applications.

    ABSTRACT The present study reports on the mechanochemical processing and characterisation studies of Si-based refractory compounds derived from sugarcane bagasse (SCB). SCB was preliminarily washed and sun-dried for 48 hr. 1 M HCl acid was used for the leaching of the SCB, before which carbothermal treatment was carried out in an enclosed, improvised crucible using a temperature sequence of 600–1000°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. Fourier transmission infrared spectrometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to characterise the reaction products. From the results obtained, the major functional groups indicated in the IR spectra are O-H, N-O, O-Si-O and Si-C. The carbothermal treatment showed the viability of producing an Si-based refractory compound (SBRC). There is a high population of SiC in the XRD pattern at 900°C, indicating that 700°C was not sufficient for the full transformation of the SiC phases. The results indicate the presence of unreacted carbon phase precipitates in the reaction product.
