In this research the synergistic effect of environmental factors on corrosion rate of austenitic stainless steels 304 and 316 has been assessed. The behavior and resistance of these alloys are studied in aerated synthetic seawater, using potentiodynamic polarization scan. The salinity, velocity, pH and temperature are the considered parameters. To study the individual and interactive contribution percentage of parameters on changing the average value of corrosion rate, a quantitative full two-level factorial experimental design method is applied. Beside this quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis has been used to predict the variation direction. By means of these two analyses we can predict the magnitude and quality of each parameter’s effect. This research has a potential in prediction of alloys’ behavior, which is really valuable in marine engineering designs.

Thin metallic shells have long been adopted as major structural components in weight-sensitive applications, especially in marine engineering. Imperfection sensitive buckling is a critical design factor when these structures are loaded in compression. Traditional experimental design method depends on deriving lower bounds to the scatter of large sets of test results. This paper aims to present an analytical approach, the so-called reduced stiffness method (RSM) to the lower-bound buckling of thin-metallic shells. The validity of the RSM for the prediction of the safe lower bounds to the buckling of thin shells is verified through carefully controlled finite element analysis and the comparative studies confirm the reliability of the RSM.

The existence of gases in the solid metals (hydrogen and nitrogen) assumes the presence of these gases in metals even before solidification, respectively in the elaboration, secondary treatment and casting phases. Usually, great amounts of gases dissolved in steels can be detected, between 3.5-8ppm for hydrogen and 0.02-0.03% for nitrogen, respectively. There are also cases when the purpose is to alloy with nitrogen, this being the case of austenitic stainless steels where the nitrogen content can reach 0.5% using ferrochromium or ferromanganese alloyed with nitrogen in 3-5.5 %. The main method of removing these gases is bubbling with inert gases and /or treating the steel in a vacuum facility. The paper presents a study regarding increasing the removal efficiency of nitrogen from the liquid steel by changing the bubbling parameters (flow, pressure, duration) but also the basicity of the refining slag. The equations of the regression surface and the identified fields are of a real help for the technologists, allowing quick decisions but they are also important for the quality of the metallic products [.


This article presents the results of developing the design of the device and optimizing the parameters of the pneumatic slotted spray gun recommended for treating tubers with working fluids. In connection with the task, the flow rates of the working fluid by the sprayer were determined by the experimental design method and the speed characteristics of the airborne droplet for treating tubers in the coulters of a potato planter. It was found that the use of a device for processing tubers during the planting process contributes to the intensification of the cultivation of tubers while reducing financial costs and improving the quality of processing.

An intergranular corrosion is observed in austenitic stainless steels exposed to high temperature, concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) solution with highly oxidizing ions. It is an important degradation mechanism of austenitic stainless steels for use in a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. The intergranular corrosion is caused by the segregation of impurities to grain boundaries and the resultant formation of active sites. Extra High Purity (EHP™) austenitic stainless steel was developed with conducting the new multiple refined melting in order to suppress the total harmful impurities less than 100ppm. The intergranular corrosion behavior of EHP alloys with various impurities was examined in boiling HNO3 solution with highly oxidizing ions to find a correlation between the intergranular corrosion and the impurities of EHP alloys. A good correlation was confirmed between the degree of intergranular corrosion and the corrosion rate. The relationships between the corrosion rate and the impurities content of EHP alloys was determined using a multiple regression analysis. The influence on corrosion rate became small in order of B, P, Si, C, S and Mn. It was important to control B in intergranular corrosion behavior of EHP alloys.

A scientific and technical literature review on machines designed to grind fodder grain revealed that the existing designs of grinding machines—those based on destruction by impact, cutting, or chipping—have various drawbacks. Some disadvantages include high metal and energy intensity, an uneven particle size distribution of the ground (crushed) product, a high percentage of dust fraction, the rapid wear of work tools (units), and heating of the product. To eliminate most of the identified shortcomings, the design of a rotary–centrifugal grain grinder is proposed in this paper. The optimization of the grinder’s working process was carried out using experimental design methodology. The following factors were studied: the grain material feed, rotor speed (rpm), opening of the separating surface, number of knives (blades) on the inner and outer rings, technical conditions of the knives (sharpened or unsharpened), and the presence of a special insert that is installed in the radial grooves of the distribution bowl. The optimization criteria were based on the amount of electricity consumed by and the performance of the rotary–centrifugal grain grinder. The quality of performance was quantified by the finished product, based on the percentage of particles larger than 3 mm in size. An analysis of the results of the multifactorial experiment allowed us to establish a relationship (interaction) between the factors and their influence on the optimization criteria, as well as to determine the most significant factors and to define further directions for the research of a centrifugal–rotary grain grinder. From our experimental results, we found that the grinder is underutilized in the selected range of factor variation. Furthermore, the number of knives installed at the second stage of the grinder, the gap (clearance) of the separating surface, and the technical condition of the knives are among the most important factors influencing the power consumption and the quality of the resulting product. A reduction in the number of knives at the first stage has a positive effect on all the selected optimization criteria; and by varying the factors in the selected range, it is possible to obtain a product corresponding to medium and coarse grinding.

Abstract The influence of silicon and manganese on the electrochemical and corrosion behavior of a high purity austenitic 14Cr/14Ni-balance Fe alloy has been studied. Over the composition range 50–41, 500 ppm Si, no effect was observed on the kinetics of the anodic or cathodic partial processes. Addition of manganese over the range 5–26,300 ppm accelerates the anodic dissolution kinetics in the active range of potentials and also the steady-state corrosion rate in 1N̄ H2SO4 due to its influence on the kinetics of the cathodic partial process. The nature of this effect is analyzed according to electrode kinetic concepts from which it is shown that manganese changes the value of the electrode process transmission coefficient. Alloys containing manganese and silicon over large concentration ranges are extremely resistant to stress corrosion cracking in boiling 42 w/o MgCl2.
