Analyzing Strength Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete at Elevated Temperatures
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of fly ash substitution for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) on the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixes. The findings reveal that while early age strength may decrease with fly ash substitution, strategic material selection, such as incorporating foundry sand, mitigates this decline. Satisfactory fresh properties were achieved across SCC mixes labeled SCC1-SCC4, with compressive strengths ranging from 30.49 to 19.19 MPa …

Investigating the Effects of Severe Plastic Deformation on Aluminium Alloy Properties: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Equal channel angular pressing is a metal forming process. It serves as a strengthening treatment through which ductile metals can be processed to refine their grain and subgrain structure. This process improves the mechanical performance of metals, including tensile strength, stress-controlled fatigue strength, and resistance to fatigue crack propagation. Equal channel angular pressing is one of the severe plastic deformation methods employed to produce ultrafine-grained materials. In this method, a …

Correlation between full width at half maximum (FWHM) of XRD peak with mechanical properties
Abstract: Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of XRD profiles characterizes different mechanical properties. However, there is no literature available that discusses about the correlation between the FWHM of XRD peaks with mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, strain hardening coefficient and micro-hardness) upon plastic deformation. Martensitic stainless steel (type 410) and Ferritic stainless steel (type 430) samples were plastically deformed under different strain rate using tensile testing machine. Variation …
