  4. 2. Alternatives to pickling : preparation of carbon and low alloyed steel wire rod

    Author : Peter Gillström; Magnus Jarl; Sven-Erik Lundberg; Tarras Wanheim; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : Mechanical descaling; shot blasting; pickling; steel wire rod; wear; drawing; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik; Maskinteknik; Mechanical Engineering;

    Abstract : A well established method for scale removal on hot rolled wire rod is pickling. To avoid pollution problems, the wire rod can be mechanically descaled. By this method, the removed scale can be recirculated to the blast furnace. In batch pickling considerable energy is necessary; e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multifunctional Transition-metal Diboride Coatings Synthesized by Magnetron sputtering with Synchronized Metal-ion Irradiation

    Author : Babak Bakhit; Grzegorz Greczynski; Johanna Rosén; Paul Mayrhofer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Refractory transition-metal diborides (TMB2), classified as ultra-high temperature ceramics, are promising materials for extreme thermal and chemical environments. There is a growing demand for employing TMB2 in high-temperature electrodes, advanced nuclear fission reactors, molten metal containment, refractory crucibles, thermocouple protection tubes in steel baths and aluminum reduction cells, reinforcement fibers, solar power, aerospace, and armor applications.

  6. 4. Characterization of Electrodeposited Fe-based Metallic Coatings: Toward a Sustainable Approach

    Author : Antonio Mulone; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrodeposition; structural characterization; coatings; electrodeposited tin; iron alloys;

    Abstract : Electrodeposition has rapidly grown in the last 50 years and it has been applied to deposit metals and alloys with complex shapes or to produce fully dense nanostructures and amorphous coatings. Thanks to the achieved improved properties of the electrodeposited materials, electrodeposition has been applied in a wide set of applications including protective coatings, and magnetic and electronic applications.
