Rehabilitation of RC members with stainless steel wire mesh and permeability polymer mortar is a new method of structural strengthening with the advantages of resistance to fire, corrosion and ageing. Experiments were conducted to investigate the shear behavior of eight strengthened RC rectangular beams and one comparative RC beam. The shear mechanism of strengthened beams was analyzed, and the influences of the strengthening manners, bolts’ amount, bolts’ distance on the shear behavior of strengthened beams were discussed. The test results show that the rehabilitation greatly increase the beam’s shear load-carrying capacity, shear stiffness, and its ductility. But the range of load capacity improvement is greatly influenced by the bolts’ amount and distance, too much and dense bolts badly weaken the shear behavior of beam itself. The influences of the strengthening manners on the load capacity are puny, but the beams’ failure modes are different.

A facile method for manufacturing super hydrophobic surfaces is presented using the stainless steel wire mesh as templates. The rough surfaces of polymers including polycarbonate, polypropylene and PMMA are prepared with hot embossing on different specifications of stainless steel wire mesh. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal that the surfaces roughness of the polymers can be controlled by selecting templates. Contact angle measurement shows that the water contact angles(WCA) rise with the increase of surface roughness, especially, the water contact angle on the PC surfaces prepared with specifications of 635mesh screen can reach to 152.3°, alias super hydrophobic surfaces.

The service life of stainless steel wire mesh belts in sintering furnaces is limited, because material deterioration results in wire fracture. A newly developed humidification system establishes a furnace atmosphere that maintains a protective oxide scale on the belt surface throughout the sintering process and at the same time creates an environment that is reducing to the sintered metal compact. This work includes thermodynamic calculations of the furnace atmosphere dew points that satisfy these oxidation / reduction criteria. Scanning Electron Microscopy, combined with Energy-dispersive X-ray Analysis, and mechanical testing methods have been used to compare belts that have undergone the same length of service in a nitrogen-hydrogen atmosphere and in an atmosphere that was modified using the newly developed humidification method. The material examinations have revealed that the new humidification system significantly extends the service life of stainless steel belts.
