Sample characterization techniques employed include weight loss measurement, SEM (scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction), TAN (total acid number) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). Results showed that the corrosion rate of magnesium was much higher compared to that of aluminum. The surface morphology revealed a significant difference between the biodiesel exposed aluminum and magnesium specimens. Upon exposure to biodiesel, the magnesium surface was found to …

Corrosion Mechanism Of Copper In Palm Biodiesel
Corrosion Mechanism Of Copper In Palm Biodiesel
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Biodiesel is a promising alternative fuel. However, it causes enhanced corrosion of automotive materials, especially of copper based components. In the present study, corrosion mechanism of copper was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Compositional change of biodiesel due to the exposure of copper was also investigated. Corrosion patina on copper is found to be composed of Cu2O, CuO, Cu(OH)2 and CuCO3. Dissolved O2, H2O, CO2 and RCOO- radical in biodiesel seem to be the leading factors in enhancing the corrosiveness of biodiesel. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Influence Of Ni Nanoparticle On The Morphology And Growth Of Interfacial Intermetallic Compounds Between Sn-3.8ag-0.7cu Lead-Free Solder And Copper Substrate
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
This paper reports on the effects of adding Ni nanoparticles to a Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu solder. The nanocomposite was prepared by manual blending of SAC solder paste with various percentages of Ni particles. Results showed that the addition of Ni nanoparticles did not bring any significant change in the onset melting temperature of the solder. An increase in the weight percentage of nanoparticles in the solder caused an increase of the wetting angle and a decrease of spreading rate. Moreover, the addition of Ni nanoparticles changed the interfacial intermetallic compound morphology from a scalloped structure into a planar type structure, enhanced the …

Effects Of Hydroquinone And Gelatin On The Electrodeposition Of Sn-Bi Low Temperature Pb-Free Solder
Effects Of Hydroquinone And Gelatin On The Electrodeposition Of Sn-Bi Low Temperature Pb-Free Solder
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
The effects of an antioxidant, hydroquinone (HQ) and a grain refining additive, gelatin, on the electroplating characteristics of Sn-Bi alloys were investigated. Methane sulfonic acid (MSA) based plating baths with varying contents of additives were prepared and the electrochemical behavior of each bath was investigated. The combination of HQ and gelatin successfully reduces the deposition potential gap between the elements hence facilitates the co-deposition of Sn-Bi in this plating bath. Compact, adherent deposits could be obtained through the synergistic effects of these two additives. The electroplated Sn-Bi deposits showed a decrease in Bi content with increasing current density. Near eutectic …

Failure Analysis Of Superheater Tube Supports Of The Primary Reformer In A Fertilizer Factory
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Eutectic Sn-Bi alloy is gaining considerable attention in the electronic packaging industry because of its favorable properties such as low melting temperature, good wettability, and good mechanical properties. Miniaturization of electronic devices requires small solder bumps, a few tens of micrometers in diameter. Electrodeposition is a reliable technique for the deposition of small volume of solder. This work focuses on the formation of eutectic Sn-Bi solder by reflowing a metal stack containing sequentially electrodeposited Sn and Bi layers. The effects of layering sequence on the composition and microstructure of the resulting alloy is investigated. Irrespective of the layering sequence, a …

A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires were grown on Ti - 6wt% Al - 4wt% V (Ti64) particles by thermal oxidation. To investigate the effect of stress on nanowire growth, the particles were milled in a planetary ball mill prior to the thermal oxidation. Thermal oxidation of the Ti64 particles was carried out in a horizontal tube furnace in a controlled oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range of 700-900 °C. The oxygen concentration was varied from 20 ppm to 80 ppm in Ar atmosphere. Nanostructures were characterized by high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. TiO2 …
Synthesis And Growth Kinetics Of Spindly Cuo Nanocrystals Via Pulsed Wire Explosion In Liquid Medium
Synthesis And Growth Kinetics Of Spindly Cuo Nanocrystals Via Pulsed Wire Explosion In Liquid Medium
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
One-dimensional CuO nanocrystals with spindly structure were successfully synthesized using pulsed wire explosion technique in deionized water. By modulating the exploding medium temperature spherical Cu nanoparticles and one-dimensional CuO nanocrystals can be selectively synthesized. At low temperature (1 C) the particle growth is governed by Ostwald ripening resulting in formation of equidimensional crystals (spherical). As the exploding temperature increases (60 C), oriented aggregation in a preferential direction resulted in unique spindly nanostructure. A possible crystal growth mechanism for these nanostructures with various morphologies at different exploding temperature is proposed. Particle growth by Ostwald ripening or orientated aggregation is highly dependent …
