Effect of Silicon Addition on 1% Cr Hardfacing Alloy
Abstract: Hardfacing of functional components of heavy engineering equipments enhances the resistance to wear and abrasion. Silicon (Si) metal is widely used as the deoxidizer and ferrite stabilizer. An experimental investigation was conducted using, low carbon high Chromium (Cr) steel electrode with different Si contents in the form of ferro-silicon to evaluate the influence of Si additions. In this work, Si in varying amount (1–5 wt%) is added to Fe-C-Cr welding …

Performance Evaluation of Semi-Dense Bituminous Macadam with Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen
Abstract: This research focuses on evaluating the performance behavior of Semi-Dense Bituminous Macadam (SDBM) mixes incorporating 9% Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB), with varying proportions of bitumen binder. The aim is to understand how different binder contents influence critical pavement properties such as Marshall stability, flow value, bulk density, air voids, Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), and Voids Filled with Bitumen (VFB). The experimental investigation reveals that increasing the bitumen content …

History, Processing, Types and Health Benefits of Indian Yogurt
Abstract: Yogurt is a food which is nutrient rich and it is produced after the milk bacterial fermentation. Yogurt should have 3.25% milk fat and 8.25% milk solids non fat and the titrable acidity of at least 0.9%, which is expressed as lactic acid. Before adding bulky flavoring additives, the USDA yogurt criteria specify that the yogurt must satisfy the composition requirements of milk fat and MSNF. The data used in …

Polymer–Gel Composite Phase Change Materials: A Functional Polymer Composite Approach for Solar-Thermal Energy Storage in Building Facades
Abstract: This study investigates polymer–composite phase change materials (PCMs) in the form of polymer–gel hybrids as multifunctional systems for solar–thermal energy storage in building façades. Paraffin- and PEG-based PCMs were embedded into polyurethane and acrylic gel matrices to create shape-stabilized polymer–composites with high PCM loading (70–80 wt%). Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) confirmed distinct melting/freezing transitions at ~56°C (paraffin) and ~42°C (PEG), with enthalpy values of 120–150 J/g, closely matching theoretical predictions, …
