  2. 1. The double axe in Minoan Crete : a functional analysis of production and use

    Author : Maria Lowe Fri; Charlotte Scheffer; Lena Sjögren; Doniert Evely; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Bronze Age Crete; Minoan period; double axe; casting; casting defects; finishing treatment; experimental archaeology; use-wear; use; user; Archaeology; classical; Arkeologi; klassisk; antikens kultur och samhällsliv; Classical Archaeology and Ancient History;

    Abstract : This study examines the production and use of Minoan double axes with the aim of finding out what working activities they were used for. The double axe has earlier been associated with a woodworker, a carpenter, a stonemason and a butcher. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cracking during Continuous Casting of Steels : Analysis tools and procedures to identify their causes on microalloyed steel slabs

    Author : Rosa Maria Pineda Huitron; Esa Vuorinen; Pavel Ernesto Ramí­rez López; Maria Begoña Santillana; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transverse corner cracks; Continuous Casting; Microalloyes steels; Secondary cooling; Cooling curves; Crack susceptibility; Materialteknik; Engineering Materials;

    Abstract : Transverse corner cracks are one of the most common but complex defects formed in microalloyed steels during continuous casting (CC). Such cracks are detrimental because it leads to a loss in productivity with a great impact on environment, energy and economics for several steel making companies all over the world. READ MORE

  5. 3. The mechanisms of metal expansion penetration during solidification of grey cast iron

    Author : Izudin Dugic; Preben Norgaard Hansén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Grey cast iron; solidification; solidification modelling; graphite expansion; molar volume; casting simulation; thermal analysis; thermoanalysis cup; casting temperature; inoculation; inoculant; metal expansion penetration; eutectic cell size; primary austenite; austenite grain; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The production of high quality castings requires the casting surface to be clean and free from defects. One type of defect often found is caused by metal penetration into the sand mould. READ MORE

  6. 4. Defects and Surfaces and their Impact on Fatigue Behaviour of Powder Bed Fused Ti-6Al-4V : Characteristics and Modelling

    Author : Viktor Sandell; Marta-Lena Antti; Pia Åkerfeldt; Thomas Hansson; Stefano Beretta; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Defects; Additive Manufacturing; Ti-6Al-4V; Probabilistic Modelling; Fatigue; Extreme Value Statistics; Materialteknik; Engineering Materials;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM), of metals is gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional manufacturing techniques such as casting and forging. Metal-AM allows for the production of complex part geometries with reduced material waste and shorter lead times. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Effect of Processing Parameters and Alloy Composition on the Microstructure Formation and Quality of DC Cast Aluminium Alloys

    Author : Majed Jaradeh; Torbjörn Carlberg; Lars Arnberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aluminium wrought alloys; AA3xxx and 6xxx; Direct Chill Casting; Unidirectional Solidification; Bridgman technique; Process parameters; Microstructure; Composition modification; Thermal analysis; Inclusions; Metallographical investigations; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

    Abstract : The objective of this research is to increase the understanding of the solidification behaviour of some industrially important wrought aluminium alloys. The investigation methods range from direct investigations of as-cast ingots to laboratory-scale techniques in which ingot casting is simulated. READ MORE
