This article deals with the analysis of the adsorptive properties of the waste produced during theshot blasting of castings in foundries. During this process, particles of moulding mixture andscale that remained on the surface of the casting after removal from the mould are removed. Sincethis waste contains particles of moulding mixture (SiO2, carb...

Metallic materials in granular packings show different electrical properties from their bulkcounterparts. In this paper, we investigate the temporal evolution of the electrical conductivity ofgranular metals. We use metallic beads arranged in different one-, two- and three-dimensionalensembles through which different constant currents are injected....

In the paper, the influence of the cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut) duringthe machining of the cylindrical steel part on the surface roughness (average surface roughness-Ra) is analysed using experimental investigation. The material used in the full factorialexperimental investigation was C45 steel, a diameter of 50 mm, ma...

Considering the toxic properties of heavy metals and their effects on the environment, there is anincreasing interest in studying their interactions with different ligands and searching forpossibilities to remove those ions from the environment. Compared to other ligands, crown etherspossess the highest selectivity as ligands for metal cations, due...

Dual phase steels are low carbon steels which are thermo-mechanically processed to getting better formability and toughness than ferrite-perlite steels with similar tensile strength. The microstructure of these steels consisting of a ferrite matrix with hard martensitic/ bainitic second phase. The concept of representative volume element (RVE) is c...

Many researches are done for finding various ways of improving steel properties, since it's the most used material in the world. Instead of using high-alloyed steels, which are expensive, microalloying of carbon steels that will retain equal properties is an efficient replacement. For this research it was tested melts of low-carbon steel grade SAE ...
