Influence of submerged arc welding process parameters and metallurgical behaviour in a thick carbon steel section for boiler application V. M. Reddy, S. R. K. Hudgikar Materialwissenschaft Und Werkstofftechnik, 2024 The aim of the research is to investigate the weldability of thick sections of carbon steel using submerged arc welding with varying process parameters. The experimental design for joining thick carbon steel involves manipulating input weld process parameters such as current (A), voltage (V), weld speed (mm/h), and weld electrode diameter (mm). The quality of the weld material is assessed based on transformations in microstructure, weld hardness measured by Brinell hardness number, and tensile strength (MPa). It is crucial to note that the grain structure and metallurgical behavior of other hard materials may differ significantly. The presence of carbon in the ferrite phase has led to the formation of bainite, martensite, and composites of martensite and austenite within the weld zone, as confirmed by high‐resolution microscopy. The weldment‘s hardness has increased from 242.5 HV 30 in the base metal to 316.4 HV 30 in the weldment due to metallurgical alterations in the microstructure. Weld energy input emerges as the primary factor influencing weld quality. With increasing weld current and voltage, there is a corresponding increase in the joined metal, resulting in improved characteristics in the weld structure, particularly at maximal energy input and welding speed. In the context of boiler applications, understanding the weldability of thick carbon steel sections is paramount for ensuring structural integrity and longevity under high‐temperature and high‐pressure conditions. The optimized welding parameters identified in this study can contribute to enhancing the reliability and performance of boilers, thereby promoting safety and efficiency in industrial settings.
Optimization and tribological behavior of carbon nano tubes blended with POE oil K Veera Raghavulu, V Mahidhar Reddy, N Govindha Rasu, S P Jani, U Sudhakar, et al. Engineering Research Express, 2024 Over the past two decades, nano additive lubricants have become essential in manufacturing as lubricating agents. Our study examines the impact of three process parameters—carbon nanotube (CNT) (volume concentration,%), sliding velocity (m/s), and applied load (N)—on the tribological performance of polyolester oil blended with carbon nanotubes. By employing the robust Taguchi L9 orthogonal array as the design of experiment, the current study made an attempt to identify the best combination of these three factors parameters to achieve the least coefficient of friction (COF) while the study also conducted ANOVA and multivariate linear regression to determine the significant factor that determines the least COF. For this study, POE oil and varying concentrations of CNTs (such as 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1 volume concentration%) were used. For this study, the characterization of the CNTs was performed using TEM, SEM and XRD methods while its stability was validated through Zeta potential value i.e., 0.075 volume concentration% CNT concentration achieved 35 mV zeta potential value. The Taguchi L9 orthogonal array outcomes found the least COF i.e., 0.0359 was achieved from 0.075 volume concentration % of CNT with a sliding speed of 3.6 m s−1 at 50 N load. The ANOVA outcomes confirmed the major contribution (91%) of the CNT concentration towards influencing the COF outcomes. The contour plots confirmed that optimal COF can be achieved when using 0.075 volume concentration% CNT with load ranged from 75 N to 125 N and sliding velocities between 1.2 m s−1 and 3.0 m s−1. The outcomes establish that when POE oil is supplemented with CNTs, it can achieve superior performance as the nanolubricant mitigates the coefficient of friction (COF), eventually enhancing the tribological performance. Future researchers can focus on employing Taguch-grey relational analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning models to find the optimal process parameters for other lubricants and nanoadditives.
Role of processing temperature on microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of fine grained AZ31 magnesium alloy produced by groove pressing E. Manoj Kumar, V. Mahidhar Reddy, K. Praveen Kumar, M. Srinivas Reddy, B. Ratna Sunil Materialwissenschaft Und Werkstofftechnik, 2023 AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets were processed at 250 °C and 300 °C by groove pressing, a severe plastic deformation technique to achieve grain refinement. The influence of processing temperature on the evolution of microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior was studied. Groove pressing significantly reduced the grain size of the alloy from 46 μm to 6.5 μm at 250 °C processing temperature. With the higher processing temperature (300 °C), grain growth (11.4 μm) was observed for the alloy. Number of twins appeared in the groove pressed samples. Higher hardness and tensile strength were measured for the groove pressed samples processed at 250 °C without significant loss in the ductility as reflected from the % of elongation due to the grain refinement. Corrosion performance of the samples assessed by potentiodynamic polarization studies indicated increased corrosion resistance for both of the grove pressed samples. However, sample at 300 °C exhibited better corrosion resistance compared with the sample processed at 250 °C. This can be understood by considering the effect of higher processing temperature on reducing the crystal imperfections which alters the corrosion behavior.
