Distinctive Transpassivation Behavior And Characteristics Of Passive Films Of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Produced And Annealed Ti–6al–4v In Hank's Solution, Yi Fan Zhang, Liang Yu Chen, Ze Xin Wang, Hong Yu Yang, Maksym Bobrov, Dobuvyy Oleksandr, Yong Liu, Lai Chang Zhang
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Passivated Ti alloys typically demonstrate enhanced corrosion resistance due to the formation of passive films. Intriguingly, in comparison to the annealed Ti–6Al–4V, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) produced Ti–6Al–4V exhibits significantly attenuated transpassivation behavior in Hank's solution. This work investigated the electrochemical responses of both samples before and after the transpassivation region to illustrate the underlying mechanism for the phenomenon. In the passivation region, both samples displayed analogous passivation behavior, with the annealed and LPBF-produced Ti–6Al–4V having the current densities of 6.64 × 10−6 and 8.14 × 10−6 A cm−2 at 1 V, respectively. Between 1.5 V …
The Utilization Of Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag As Fine Aggregates In Concrete: Physical, Mechanical, And Durability Properties, Hakan Ozkan
Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies
This study examines the feasibility of using basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) as an alternative to fine crushed limestone aggregate in concrete. BOFS is sourced from two steel production facilities in Türkiye, designated as I-BOFS and E-BOFS. The experimental results showed that as the E-BOFS aggregate replacement ratio increased, the water-to-cement (w/c) ratio increased to maintain the target workability. The concrete mixtures incorporating E-BOFS exhibited consistent reductions in the compressive strength with an increase in the BOFS ratio. At the same time, I-BOFS maintained higher compressive strength, with only minor losses up to 80% of the substitution ratio. Flexural strength …

Development Of A Self-Cured Alkali-Activated Mortar, Kübra Ekiz Barış
Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies
Alkali-activated mortars (AAM) can be produced with self-curing (SC), which supplies internal moisture to accelerate alkaline-activation reactions. The aim of using SC is to make AAMs with an early-age strength without any additional curing energy consumption and higher CO2 emissions, and to obtain in-situ practical advantages that enable the large-scale application of AAMs. The previous study produced natural pozzolan-based AAMs by applying energy-intensive heat (HC), microwave (MWC), and hybrid (HC+MWC) curing. This study investigates alternative curing regimes that reduce production energy without compromising material properties. The impacts of air curing (AC), water curing (WC), and SC on the properties were …

Effect Of Expanded Perlite And Exfoliated Vermiculite Aggregate Additives On Water Vapor Permeability Performance Of Cement-Based Lightweight Mortars, Lütfullah Gündüz, Şevket Onur Kalkan
Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies
Vapor diffusion is the movement of water vapor molecules through porous materials such as wood, insulation products, and lightweight wall elements due to differences in vapor pressure. Vapor retarders are used to control vapor diffusion through wall sections and surfaces. All building materials provide some resistance to vapor diffusion, and the amount of resistance varies depending on the material's properties. These properties can vary with relative humidity and moisture content, age, temperature, and other factors. Vapor resistance is usually expressed using the inverse term of ``vapor permeability,'' which is the relative ease of vapor diffusion through a material. Water vapor …

Wet Gas Metering Performance Using Conventional Flow Measurement Devices, Vitali Mwinyi
Wet Gas Metering Performance Using Conventional Flow Measurement Devices, Vitali Mwinyi
Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)
The demand for and production of natural wet gas from wells has significantly risen in recent years. Although natural gas liquids hold substantial value in the oil and gas market, their presence in wet gas adversely affects gas metering, leading to overreading during measurement. A comprehensive study has been undertaken to formulate and enhance correlations for rectifying overreading in wet gas metering. Nevertheless, most current correlations are designed for horizontal configurations of traditional meters. Mitigating this constraint is crucial to consider the impact of gravity on pressure loss in vertically oriented systems. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of …

Predicting The Influence Of Aggregate Size And Distribution On Cementitious Concrete Properties: A Review, Innocent J. Macha
Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)
Cement concrete has been in use for centuries as one of the primary construction materials. Its demand in the construction industry is expected to continue for several centuries before the full development of alternative products. However, one of the main areas of research interest is understanding how its constituents can be tailored to make its properties predictable to reduce risks associated with structural failures, reconstruction and reduced durability. These hindrances associated with cementitious concrete result from several attributes, including constituent material characteristics, mixing ratios and workmanship. Understanding the predictability of cement concrete properties requires computer modelling tools to provide reliable …

Chemical Technology, Control and Management
The transformation of energy in nuclear reactors or processes involves converting mass into energy as a result of nuclear reactions. This can include nuclear fission (splitting heavy atomic nuclei) or nuclear fusion (combining light nuclei). In these processes, energy is released in the form of heat, which can be used for electricity generation or other purposes.
