Processing of metallic materials using microwave energy offer benefits of time compression and energy saving during applications such as sintering, casting, melting, joining and cladding. However, use of microwave energy is uncommon for machining of metallic materials because of high reflectivity. The present work aims to study microwave-metal (MW-m) discharge-induced plasma channel (PC) characteristics during microwave drilling of thin stainless steel (SS) sheet (0.6 mm) at 2.45 GHz. Experimental trials inside two different microwave applicators A1 and A2 were monitored and recorded. The images of the plasma channel generated in both the microwave applicators were obtained at different time intervals to analyze the plasma channel diameter (PCD). Experimental results revealed that variation in the microwave power significantly affects the dimension of plasma channel generated in the tool-work gap and heat affected zone (HAZ) formed around the drilling zone. Reduction in microwave drilling time of approximately 80% was observed at 3 kW power compared to drilling time at 0.7 kW power. The HAZ observed in the samples drilled at 0.7 kW was significantly higher than the HAZ observed at 3 kW owing to higher drilling time of samples at 0.7 kW.

This paper aims to expand the use of CO2blasting by investigating a cryogenic deburring method for machined metallic materials. In advance to the actual deburring experiments, a streaming analysis based on high-speed video records was conducted for different blasting technologies, in order to gain deeper knowledge about their underlying active principles. For the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V and the stainless steel X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2, deburring experiments with three different blasting techniques were conducted and evaluated. It has been shown that cryogenic deburring has the potential to represent an alternative deburring solution for metals.

Recently, laser cutting is used in many industries. Generally, in laser cutting of metallic materials, suitable assist gas and its nozzle are needed to remove the molten metal. However, because of the gas nozzle should be set closer to the surface of a workpiece, existence of the nozzle seems to prevent laser cutting from being used flexible. Therefore, the new cutting process, Assist Gas Free laser cutting or AGF laser cutting, has been developed. In this process, the pressure at the bottom side of a workpiece is reduced by a vacuum pump, and the molten metal can be removed by the air flow caused by the pressure difference between both sides of the specimen. In this study, cutting properties of austenitic stainless steel by using AGF laser cutting with 2 kW CO2 laser were investigated. Laser power and cutting speed were varied in order to study the effect of these parameters on cutting properties. As a result, austenitic stainless steel could be cut with dross-free by AGF laser cutting. When laser power was 2.0 kW, cutting speed could be increased up to 100 mm/s, and kerf width at specimen surface was 0.28 mm.

Nowadays, as rising research on biomaterials, the artificial bone scaffold has become the most important part of the study. Moreover, metallic materials have been applied on the artificial bone scaffold; but its high rigidity causes the stress shielding effect in bones. To improve the disadvantages of metallic materials and pursue their better mechanical properties, 304 stainless steel fibers have multi-layer braided into the 3D stainless-steel braid with porous structure and better mechanical properties, using braiding machine. In multi-layer braiding process, with the constant number of take-up gear and varying number of braid gear, the 3D stainless-steel braid was manufactured. Afterwards, its braiding structure and angle were observed by stereo microscope. Also, the optimal braiding parameters can be acquired from tensile strength test.

Abstract An examination of failed fireside metal parts and the development of remedial surface treatments are described. Observations of failed service parts and fireside exposed specimens showed scaling and accelerated oxidation of surfaces. Type 309 stainless steel showed corrosion characteristics similar to Type 310. Examination of a 60 percent Cr- 40 percent Ni specimen and a Type 310 specimen showed that the former had an 80 percent greater resistance to slag corrosion than the Type 310 stainless steel. The effect on fuel-ash corrosion of simple alkaline washes, paints and metal oxide water slurries applied directly to contaminated surfaces was determined. The following fire-side treatments were assesseed for corrosion control: (1) water washing, (2) anneal plus water wash, (3) lime slurry coating plus anneal plus water washing. The latter treatment was highly effective. A ship-board treatment requiring no complicated equipment and little interference to boiler operation is proposed. 4.2.3

Metallic materials are well known and widely used in various industrial sectors. However, they can be easily corroded in various aggressive environments. The protective action of stainless steel by two organic pyrazole compounds: {1-amino-5,10-dioxo-3-(p-tolyl)-5,10-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-2-carbonitrile} and {1-amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-5,10-dioxo-5,10-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b] phthalazine-2-carbonitrile} in H2SO4 2.0M medium was studied using the electrochemical technics (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Polarization curves indicate that both compounds act as anodic inhibitors. A suitable equivalent electrical circuit model was used to calculate the impedance parameters. The adsorption study showed that these compounds are adsorbed to the steel surface according to the adsorption isotherm of Langmuir. Effect of temperature was also investigated and activation parameters were evaluated.
