Fire Extinguishers

This research aims to optimize the weight of already existing fire extinguishers containing Carbon Dioxide as per BIS standards IS 2190: 2010 and IS 7285-1: 2004. In the paper, an optimized and new design is proposed to minimize the weight of the pressure vessel making it easier to store in smaller compartments and also allowing faster hand-held use during an emergency. The weight has been reduced substantially by using proposed materials and FEA simulations were performed on the model to check for failures under the set test conditions with the aim to minimize the volume of metal used that is able to withstand the hydrostatic load of pressure gas. ANSYS Mechanical 18.2 was used for performing 3d pressure analysis while the model was designed on Solidworks 2016. A Multi Frontal Direct Solver was preferred to reach the solutions in every case. The analysis results of all the materials were compared and finally, a material was selected that was tough enough to clear the safety standards and extremely light so that even old people could use it without any issues. A simple shell of Titanium Grade-5 Alloy was found to be the proper and optimal choice to obtain good mechanical properties and lightweight.

The Impact

Conventional construction of components is slowly being replaced by rapid prototyping and the use of DMLS technology. The development of DMLS requires conducting experimental studies that build a knowledge base that allows for the averaging of mechanical properties. verification of how the initiation of the crack occurs in the material and how the energy is propagated in the samples that were made by a conventional method compared to the samples, where the method of sintering titanium layers will be used. The literature analysis showed no research results relating to the impact of values of strength parameters on the structure of materials produced by the DMLS method. Titanium samples made with the additive method and the conventional titanium grade 5 Ti6Al4V titanium method, which is used, among others, in medicine, were used for the tests. The article presents the influence of material structure on mechanical properties (Re, Rm, A, Z). The presented research is preliminary research defining the properties of the material, which are gaining more and more application by using the DMLS method in the construction of machines and in medicine.

Superalloys provide high corrosion resistance and are widely used as high-performance materials in aerospace, automotive, chemical, and other industries. Herein, the investigation into the characteristics and properties of alloy waste; Inconel 625, Inconel 718, and Titanium Grade 5, from the automotive industry, was introduced as a result of a recovery in various processes. For this reason, the following procedures were carried as follows; the washing process to remove oil from the swarf was evaluated using several commercial agents and for the process of thermal disposal of processing fluids, a temperature of 900 °C was used in a muffle furnace without air access. The presented studies show that the commercially available series of washing agents did not modify the composition of the surface. However, the high temperatures during the calcination of oil residues are affecting the elemental composition of the alloys. According to the results of the analyses, it is not possible to remove 100% of the oil residues from alloy waste using washing agents based on light organic fractions; however, the effectiveness of this method reaches 99%. In this report, accurate SEM-EDS analyses show changes that occur on the surface after machining and removal of processing fluids. The NMR and GC/MS investigations indicate contaminants as a mixture of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers from C8–C30.

PurposeTitanium (Ti) alloys are in high demand in manufacturing industries all over the world. The property like high strength to weight ratio makes Ti alloys highly recommended for aerospace industries. Ti alloys possess good weldability, and therefore, they were extensively investigated with regard to strength and metallurgical properties of welded joint. This study aims to deal with the analysis of strength and microstructural changes in Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) alloy after tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding.Design/methodology/approachTwo pair of Ti alloy plates were welded in two different voltages, i.e. 24 and 28 V, with keeping the current constant, i.e. 80 A It was a random selection of current and voltage values to check the performance of welded material. Both the welded plates were undergone through some mechanical property analysis like impact test, tensile test and hardness test. In addition, the microstructure of the welded joints was also analyzed.FindingsIt was found that hardness and tensile properties gets improved with an increment in voltage, but this effect was reverse for impact toughness. A good corroboration between microstructure and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness and toughness, was reported in this work. Heat distribution in both the welded plates was simulated through ANSYS software to check the temperature contour in the plates.Originality/valueA good corroboration between microstructure and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness and toughness, was reported in this study.
