Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 In The Pulp And Paper Industry, Charlie S. Wilcher, Trevor Davus

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

Duplex stainless steel’s durability, formability, and resistance to corrosion make it the primary steel option of the pulp and paper industry. The harsh environments found in certain aspects of this industry, such as in bleach plants, digesters, liquor vessels, and any piping where corrosive liquids may be passed, require the previously mentioned properties that duplex stainless steel 2205 offer. The structure and properties of duplex stainless steel, as well as the processes it undergoes, allow for it to withstand these environments. Research into the structure and properties of duplex stainless steel and the processes it undergoes will indicate how duplex …

Ar400 Wear Plates, Jase Tatum, Bryson Miller, John Howell, Aaron Alexander

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

Wear resistance is an invaluable performance metric for most metallic components found in mechanical systems. Our research focused on AR400, a steel alloy known for its wear resistance capabilities, in an effort to determine what factors might be attributed to its performance in wear applications. After establishing the processing techniques and resulting material structures that give AR400 such an edge in extreme wear conditions, our goal is to determine indicators of wear resistance that can be used to distinguish excellent wear resistant alloys from average or subpar performers against wear.

A Look Into The Process, Structure, Properties, And Performance Of Inconel 690, Reed Mcneal, Patrick Camacho, Haley Petersen, Mary Watson

Construction Of A Pspp Map Of Stainless-Steel Alloy Fabricated By Additive Manufacturing, Ihab Moutawakil, Abdelmounem Boukraa

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

A Processing-Structure-Properties-Performance (PSPP) map simply summarizes knowledge on the behavior of a given materials system. This is a helpful tool that may successfully serve as a standard means of communication on the physical and chemical mechanisms that regulate the performance of a materials system, as well as guidance on the sort of data necessary to correctly characterize that materials system as a whole. This article provides a literature review of how stainless-steel properties are affected by different treatment techniques in addition to a step-by-step methodology for creating a map for any materials system and then uses data regarding these methods …

Investigating Cobalt Chrome Alloy For Use In Biomedical Applications, Morgan Calhoun, Caitlin Cade

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

We aim to demonstrate and discuss what characteristics make it such a desirable material in the production of metallic biomedical implants

Design Of Process-Structure-Property-Performance Road Map Of Titanium Alloy Constructed Using Additive Manufacturing, Othmane Omalek, Anas Rochdi

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

This article provides critical data concerning a system’s approach that incorporates processing, structure, property, and performance (PSPP) linkages applied on titanium materials. To acquire basic insights and knowledge of materials behavior, we need to build reasonable (PSPP) connections. This article will help gather data for any materials system to create the PSPP map and then uses those techniques to create a map for a Titanium made with additive manufacturing. In addition, it explains the current methods, techniques, and equipment used in a variety of structure treatment of titanium materials, as well as the processing concerns and precautions that apply. The …

Titanium Ti-6al-4v, James Aaras Ross Brundege

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

Titanium alloys, such as Ti-6A1-4V, used as biomaterials possess great characteristics compared to other alloys such as stainless steel alloys. Characteristics such as biocompatibility, enhanced corrosion, strain, and fatigue resistance provide amazing benefits from these alloys. Providing an understanding of Ti used in biomedical applications and production can provide insight into its benefits and limitations as well as the areas of potential improvement for future study.

3xx Aluminum Alloys For Ice Implementation, Kyle A. Taylor, Eric Cleckner, Jeffery Garrett

ME 4133/6133 Mechanical Metallurgy

The material to be explored for the purpose of this project relates to the Aluminum alloys used in the majority of modern engine “heads” and a number of engine “blocks”. The Aluminum used for these engine applications vary slightly across different manufacturers in their processing, structure and ultimate properties, despite their nearly identical performance applications. Part of the interest in this particular subject is the slight variations across manufacturing that result in different performance. Regardless of idiosyncrasies, these Al alloys are expected to perform under varying temperatures, with the ability to elastically deform and return to their original shape. They …

The is collection consists of photos, post cards, and newspaper clippings largely relating to the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (Katy) Railroad and the “Katy” depot and office in Parsons, Kansas.

In 1870 the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (M.K.T.) Railroad was incorporated in Junction City, Kansas. The railroad connected several military forts in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas. In 1870, the town of Parsons, Kansas was founded for the purpose of being a hub where the lines to Junction City, Kansas and Sedalia, Missouri met. The original M.K.T. Station was built in 1871 and was torn down and replaced by a new building in 1895. On March …

Thin Safety Margin: The Sefor Super-Prompt-Critical Transient Experiments, Ozark Mountains, Arkansas 1970–1971, Jerry Havens, Collis Geren

Arkansas Scholarly Editions

Thin Safety Margin charts the history of SEFOR, a twenty-megawatt reactor that operated for three years in the rural Ozark Mountains of Arkansas as part of an internationally sponsored program designed to demonstrate the Doppler effect in plutonium-oxide-fueled fast reactors. Authors Jerry Havens and Collis Geren draw upon this history to assess the accidental explosion risk inherent in using fast reactors to reduce the energy industry’s carbon dioxide emissions.

If a sufficiently powerful fast-neutron explosion were to cause the containment of a reactor such as SEFOR’s to fail, the reactor’s radiotoxic plutonium fuel could vaporize and escape into the surrounding …

Aerospace Mechanics And Controls, Carlos Montalvo

Textbooks

This report represents aerospace mechanics and controls for CubeSats, quadcopters and aircraft. A CubeSAT is a small satellite on the order of 10 centimeters along each axis. A 1U satellite is a small cube with 10 cm sides. These satellites are used for a variety of missions and created by a variety of different organizations. When deployed from a rocket, a CubeSAT may obtain a large angular velocity which must be reduced before most science missions or communications can take place. Maximizing solar energy charging also involves better pointing accuracy. To control the attitude of these small satellites, reaction wheels, …
