Influence of some Oxide Coating Layers on the Mechanical Properties of Steel Plates
The paper presents a vibroacoustic method to determining the stiffness of coated steel with various materials such as metal oxides, metallic paints, polymers etc and Young's modulus for coating materials. The method consists in measuring the dynamic response of the steel in the form of a rectangular bar subjected to external impulse. One of the latest non-destructive experimental techniques in this field is based on the analysis of vibrating signal response recorded with a condenser microphone. A Fast Fourier Transform algorithm is used for processing the sampled signals. Knowing the mechanical properties of steel plates prior to coating with metal oxides, and determining the same properties after coating, can be obtained the mechanical properties of metal oxides and their influence on the properties of the ensemble.
