Optimization of solvent debinding process parameters for powder injection molded 316L stainless steel (SS) has been reported in this research work. Powder gas atomized (PGA) 316L SS was blended with a multicomponent binder in Z-blade mixer at 170°C ± 5°C for 90 minutes. Feedstock was successfully injected at temperature 170 ± 5°C. Injection molded samples were immersed in n-heptane for 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h at temperatures 50°C ,55°C and 60°C to extract the soluble binder components. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results attested that soluble binder components were completely extracted from injection molded samples at temperature 55°C after 6h.

A silver-plating technique was developed in an effort to produce good mechanical bonding characteristics between stainless steelpins and amalgam. Metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies were made to assess the presence, or otherwise, of such a bond between (a) the silver layer plating and the surface of the stainless steel pins, and (b) and silver plating and the amalgam. Unplated stainless steel and sterling silver pins were used as a control and as a comparison, respectively. A "rubbing" technique of condensation was devised to closely adapt amalgam to the pins. It is concluded that there is strong evidence for the existence of a good bond between the plated pins and amalgam. The mechanical performance of the bond is discussed elsewhere. 1.

In the current research work an attempt is made to utilize the ecofriendly biochar materials as reinforcements in polymer composites. Biochar materials were developed from Arhar stalks and Bael shells waste biomass by pyrolysis process and studied for different characteristics. The surface morphology, crystalline structure, fixed carbon content and elemental composition of synthesized biochar materials were studied using scanning electron microscope, x-ray diffraction and proximate analysis. The results showed that the biochar (BB) produced using Bael shells are highly amorphous in nature and have high amount of elemental carbon than arhar stalk biochar (AB). Using epoxy as matrix and biochar materials as reinforcement composites were fabricated with three different filler weight fractions i.e., 2%, 4% and 6%. The composites with 4% Bael shell biochar exhibited high tensile strength, and has 183% more strength when compared with neat epoxy. Increasing the filler percentage from 4% to 6% the strength and hardness of composites reduced due to poor interfacial bonding. Morphological studies were performed on fractured surfaces of tensile tested samples by using scanning electron microscope. From thermogravimetric analysis it was found that with the inclusion of biochar materials thermal stability of composites was significantly enhanced. 4% Bael biochar composites (BBC) exhibited higher thermal resistance which left 8% residual mass.

Stainless steel 304 and 316 (ss304 and ss316) are widely used in heat exchangers, and the precipitation characteristics of CaCO3 is the first step to research anti-fouling technology. CaCO3 scaling precipitated on coupons from 1.0mmol/l CaCO3 solution at 35°C. By weighing the coupons before and after static reaction experiments to get the mass of scaling and the morphology was taken by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results show that at the same condition there is more fouling on ss304 than ss316. Higher pH not only promotes square aragonite and calcite and square aragonite gradually recrystallize to calcite but also makes both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation rate increasing, and the former increases more, so the fouling mass is bigger at lower pH than higher pH; fouling grows at the place with higher surface energy first and then extend to surrounding place, and when the number increases and crystals grow big and connect each other to form fouling layer.

Abstract This study examined the corrosion inhibiting properties of parsley (petroselinum sativum) essential oils, for Type 430 ferritic stainless steel in 0.5 molar sulphuric acid solutions. In this study, weight loss, electrochemical and scanning electron microscope techniques were used in gaining a detailed understanding of inhibition effects of parsley (petroselinum sativum) essential oils (PEO) on Type 430 ferritic stainless steel corrosion. The inhibitor studied exhibits good anti-corrosion performance with 98.65 % inhibition efficiency. This result could be ascribed to the adsorbed PEO on the surface of the stainless steel, and this was verified by surface visualization using optical and scanning electron microscope techniques while the crystallographic variation of the inhibited sample is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adsorption of PEO onto stainless steel surface is controlled by Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Optical images of non-inhibited specimens showed a severely corroded surface with a visible macro pit on the stainless steel from sulphuric solutions. The inhibited sample shows improved surface owing to the surface protection effect of PEO molecules. The corrosion inhibition performance of PEO is due to the presence of active constituents which enhanced the film formation over the surface of the metal, thus, mitigating corrosion.

In this research, dissimilar joint properties of pure Cu to AISI304 stainless steel using three different filler metals were studied. In this regard, the welding process was done with gas tungsten arc welding process using ER308L, ER309L, and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals and ERNi1 butter layer. The microstructural evaluations were carried out using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The mechanical tests were conducted by microhardness, tensile, bending and impact tests, and the fracture surfaces of impact and tensile tests were studied by scanning electron microscope. The results show that there is no crack or discontinuity in the welded samples. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis revealed that the diffusion of Cu from base metal to butter layer has been occurred during welding. The microhardness profiles indicated the increase of hardness in heat-affected zone and butter layer. The welded sample with ERNiCrMo3 filler metal showed higher microhardness (200 HV) as compared with two other welded samples. The welded sample with ER309L filler metal had lower microhardness of about 150 HV. The tensile test revealed that the welded sample with ER309L filler metal showed maximum (193 MPa) and the welded sample with ER308L showed minimum (147 MPa) of ultimate tensile strength. In bending test of the welded samples with ER308L and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals, the crack and discontinuity were revealed in weld metal and heat-affected zone of Cu, respectively, while in the welded sample with ER309L filler metal no crack and discontinuity were seen. Also the welded sample with ER309L filler metal had highest impact energy of about 90 J as compared to other samples (81 and 88 J for the welded samples with ER308L and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals, respectively). The welded sample with ER309L filler metal showed more ductile fracture surface as compared with other samples.
