Advanced Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Recovery during Warm Working of FCC Alloys
Abstract: Metal working processes of warm working require an advanced quantitative analysis of dynamic and static recovery of dislocations to control microstructures and crucial shape forming properties. Feasibility of dynamic recovery by thermal glide and static recovery by climb of constricted jogs, applicable to ausforming, nano bulk forming by SPD and normalizing has been addressed to design new steels, used for hulls, and tribologically superior bearings. Predictive dislocation recovery analysis shows …

A non-hydrotreated feedstock’s polyaromatic cracking under FCC industrial operating conditions using an equilibrium catalyst
Abstract: Catalytic cracking of non-hydrotreated atmospheric residue’s main polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) in the presence of an equilibrium catalyst was investigated under industrial operating conditions. During the fluid catalytic cracking process, the catalyst that presented the key factor in hydrocarbon cracking (aromatic by hydrogen transfer reaction) quickly deactivated and compromised the process’s performance due to its acid surfaces and pores covered by the polyaromatic species. A deep study of the catalyst behavior …

Nucleonic Level Measurement in Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit, Oil & Gas Refinery
Abstract: The measurement of ‘Level’ is crucial in an Industrial Process, as low levels can cause problems and damage equipment. In contrast, high levels can cause overflow and potentially create safety and environmental problems. When working with the Fluid Catalytic Cracking System Unit (FCCU) in Refineries, there are requirements for various types of level measurement instruments. One of them is the Nucleonic Level Measurement device used in the process involved in …

Experimental Assessment and Statistical Argument of Al-Si/CSA/MoS2 Hybrid Composites for Mechanical and Tribological Characteristics
Abstract: To augment the mechanical and tribological properties of Al-Si matrix composites complement with molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) and coconut shell ash (CSA), a mixed experimental and Face-Centered Composite (FCC)strategy was employed. A liquid metallurgical method called stir casting was used to create hybrid composites with 5–15 wt.% CSA and 1–3 wt.% MoS₂. A FCC experimental design with thirty runs was used to thoroughly evaluate the materials. This design allowed for the …

Tribological Study on SiC+Graphene Reinforced Al319 Composite andOptimization of Stir Casting Parameters
Abstract: The aluminium 319 (Al319) is a commonly used material for fabricating automobile components. Due to continuous friction and vibration, those components are subjected to significant wear. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the wear characteristics of this Al319. Hence, in this study Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) are reinforce to Al319 via electro-magnetic stir casting method to optimize wear characteristics without its affecting mechanical properties. Various proposition of …
