A Study on Stress Analysis of Aluminum Alloy Solidified in Metallic Molds
Abstract: Abstract The casting technique is regarded as the primary manufacturing process. It has several process parameters that affect the cast structure. Mold geometry is considered one of the most important metal parameters to cast. In the current work, the influence of mold geometries on mechanical properties (deformation and stress concentration) of liquid Aluminum alloy solidified in the steel mold is assessed using ANSYS simulation software. Molds were subject to a …

Impact of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on NOx Emissions and Efficiency in Diesel Engines
Abstract: Abstract Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has emerged as a pivotal strategy to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines, which significantly contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation. NOx emissions pose serious concerns due to their role in forming smog, acid rain, and adverse health impacts. By recirculating a portion of the exhaust back into the intake manifold, EGR reduces these emissions by restricting the manufacturing of NOx and …

Tri-Route Orchestration of Sr-Modification, MoldVibration, and T6 Treatment on the Microstructure andPerformance of A356 Alloy
Abstract: This study examines the cascade effects of chemical modification, mechanical mold vibration during solidification, and subsequent T6 heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and multi-property enhancement of A356 Alloy cast via permanent mold casting. Initially Sodium (Na) modifying flux (2– 4 wt%) and Strontium (Sr) elemental modifier (0.01–0.05 wt%) were implemented to refine the morphology of eutectic silicon; Sr addition at an optimal concentration of 0.04 wt.% yielded superior eutectic …

Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Microalloyed Forging Steels
Abstract: The microalloyed (MA) forging steels have been developed over the past several decades and they are gradually employed in the high-performance applications in many structural, automotive, and numerous engineering applications. The principle of microalloying contents in the Fe–C alloy system, thereby preferably combined with different mechanical, heat treatment, and microalloying solubility control the precipitation behaviors that lead to enormous opportunities to develop a new generation of high strength low alloy …

Investigation on the influence of calcium Fluoride and Barium Fluoride on cutting performance during hard turning with minimal fluid application
Abstract: Recently the concept of minimal fluid application has gained attention in metal cutting industry as it has the ability to resemble pure dry turning and at the same time free from all the problems related to large scale use of cutting fluid as in conventional wet turning. Since a very small quantity of cutting fluid is doing cooling and lubrication in minimal fluid application, there must be some performance enhancers …
