Development Of A Compression Test Device For Investigating Interaction Between Diffusion Of Biodiesel And Large Deformation In Rubber
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Motivated by environmental and economic factors, biodiesel has been introduced to partially replace the diminishing stock of petroleum-based fuel. However, the use of biodiesel such as palm biodiesel is placing additional demands on automotive components, e.g. rubber components, due to a compatibility issue in the fuel system. In engineering applications where hostile environments are involved, the long-term mechanical response of rubber components is affected by interactions existed between diffusion of liquids into the material and fluctuating multiaxial loading. Hence, it is crucial to investigate the durability of rubber components in this aggressive environment. A number of studies on static immersion …
Effect Of Different Corrosion Inhibitors On The Corrosion Of Cast Iron In Palm Biodiesel
Effect Of Different Corrosion Inhibitors On The Corrosion Of Cast Iron In Palm Biodiesel
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Biodiesel is currently in regular use as an alternative fuel over conventional petroleum diesel. However, corrosion of automotive materials is one of the concerns related to biodiesel compatibility issues. In addition, auto-oxidation of biodiesel can also enhance the corrosiveness of biodiesel. The present study aims to investigate inhibition effect of ethylenediamine (EDA), n-butylamine (nBA), tert-butylamine (TBA) against corrosion of cast iron. Static immersion tests in biodiesel in the presence (100 ppm) and absence of different corrosion inhibitors were carried out at room temperature for 1200 hours. At the end of the test, corrosion characteristic was investigated by weight loss measurements …

Interfacial Reactions Between Sn-3.5 Ag Solder And Ni-W Alloy Films
Interfacial Reactions Between Sn-3.5 Ag Solder And Ni-W Alloy Films
A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb
Nickel based alloys are currently being investigated in an effort to develop stable barrier films between lead free solder and copper substrate. In this study, interfacial reactions between Ni-W alloy films and Sn-3.5 Ag solder have been investigated. Ni-W alloys films with tungsten content in the range of 5.0-18.0 at.% were prepared on copper substrate by electrodeposition in ammonia citrate bath. Solder joints were prepared on the Ni-W coated substrate at a reflow temperature of 250 °C. The solder joint interface was investigated by Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron back scatter diffraction. It has been …
