Modeling Of The Effects Of Athermal Flow Strength And Activation Energy For Dislocation Glide On The Nanoindentation Creep Of Nickel Thin Film At Room Temperature
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Nanoindentation creep behaviour of nickel at room temperature has been modeled based on the obstacle-controlled dislocation glide mechanism. Using the model, the effects of two important materials parameters viz. the activation free energy required by dislocation to overcome an obstacle without any aid from external stress, ΔF and the athermal flow strength, τ0, which is the flow strength of solids at 0 K are systematically studied. It has been found that ΔF plays a dominant role in room temperature creep properties of nickel. The role of ΔF is particularly dominant in determining the time dependent deformation. On the other hand, …

Wear Failure Of A Leaded Bronze Bearing: Correlation Between Plant Experience And Laboratory Wear Test Data
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
This paper describes an investigation on the failure of a large leaded bronze bearing that supports a nine-ton roller of a plastic calendering machine. At the end of the normal service life of a good bearing, which lasted for seven years, a new bearing was installed. However the new one failed catastrophically within a few days, generating a huge amount of metallic wear debris and causing pitting on the surface of the cast iron roller. Following the failure, samples were collected from both good and failed bearings. The samples were analyzed chemically and their microstructures examined. Both samples were subjected …

Response Of Ti-6al-4v And Ti-24al-11nb Alloys To Dry Sliding Wear Against Hardened Steel
Response Of Ti-6al-4v And Ti-24al-11nb Alloys To Dry Sliding Wear Against Hardened Steel
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Titanium alloys have been of great interest in recent years because of their very attractive combination of high strength, low density and corrosion resistance. Application of these alloys in areas where wear resistance is also of importance calls for thorough investigations of their tribological properties. In this work, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-24Al-11Nb alloys were subjected to dry sliding wear against hardened-steel counter bodies and their tribological response was investigated. A pin-on-disc type apparatus was used with a normal load of 15-45N and sliding speed of 1.88 ms -1. In the steady state, it was demonstrated that Ti-24Al-11Nb had a substantially higher …
Anodisation Of Copper In Thiourea-And Formamidine Disulphide-Containing Acid Solution.: Part I. Identification Of Products And Reaction Pathway
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
The anodic behaviour of copper in aqueous 0.5 M sulphuric acid containing different amounts of dissolved thiourea or formamidine disulphide was investigated at 298 K, combining data from electrochemical polarisation, chemical analysis, UV–vis spectroscopy, XPS and EDAX analysis, and structural information on copper–thiourea complexes. The main reactions depend on the applied potential and initial thiourea concentration. In the potential range −0.30≤E≤0.075 V (versus SCE), the electro-oxidation of thiourea to formamidine disulphide, the formation of Cu(I)–thiourea soluble complexes, and Cu(I)–thiourea complex polymer-like films, are the most relevant processes. The formation of this film depends on certain critical thiourea/copper ion molar concentration …
Mössbauer Investigation On Electrodeposited Fe-C And Fe-Ni-C Alloys
Mössbauer Investigation On Electrodeposited Fe-C And Fe-Ni-C Alloys
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Hard Fe-C based alloys, Fe-0.96 mass% C and Fe-15.4 mass% C having a microhardness of 810 and 750 HV, respectively, are electrodeposited from sulfate-based baths at 50°C. The Mössbauer spectra consist of high intensity sextet due to ferromagnetic Fe. The linewidth of the sextet is larger for alloys than for the pure Fe, indicating an increased effective field at different Fe sites in the alloys. Absence of any low intensity sextet, which is attributable to the Fe atoms close to the C atoms at the octahedral c-axis position, suggests that the electrodeposited alloys are in an advanced state of aging. …
Thermal Decomposition Study Of Electrodeposited Fe-C And Fe-Ni-C Alloys By Differential Scanning Calorimetry
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Fe-0.96mass%C and Fe-15.4mass%Ni-0.70mass%C alloys with hardness of 810 and 750 HV respectively have been electrodeposited at 50°C from sulphate based baths containing a small amount of citric acid and L-ascorbic acid. Differential scanning calorimetry of the electrodeposited samples has been carried out in the temperature range of 293-725 K in argon atmosphere. Electrodeposited pure Fe is also investigated for comparison purposes. The DSC curves of both alloys contain two exothermic peaks: at about 411 K and 646 K for the Fe-C alloy, and 388 K and 639 K for the Fe-Ni-C alloy. These peaks are irreversible and do not appear …
