Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …

Optimizing Plasma Cutting Parameters for Thin Mild Steel Sheets of Various Thicknesses
Abstract: Plasma machining was investigated for suitability to cut thin sheets and the quality obtained was assessed. The main objective of this investigation is to machine or cut required Mild steel sheet thicknesses and to determine the surface roughness and MRR values. Traditional cutting techniques have been discovered to be costly in terms of both time and resources. This study may be valuable to car converters, such as firms that make …

Fabrication of Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composite by Hand Lay-Up Process
Abstract: The recent development in technologies has increased the usage of non-renewable resources during pro- duction due to remarkable properties. However, it has been a threat and unable to be replenished once used. In addition to this, natural fibre strengthens in a more significant way and it’s widely applicable in polymer composites materials. Furthermore, the use of plant fibres in polymer composites is due to its low cost and significant properties. …

Prediction of Depth-Induced Stress Distribution and Maintenance Cost Implications for Submerged Structural Components
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of water depth on stress distribution and structural integrity of submerged mechanical components . Structural models fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper alloy were examined under hydrostatic loading corresponding to water depths between 30 cm and 150 cm. Results indicate that normal and shear stresses increased proportionally with depth due to intensified hydrostatic pressure. Mild steel exhibited the highest stress concentrations, …

Evaluation of Metal Coupons Corrosions in Fresh Water Environment at Different Water Depths Using Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: This research addressed the effects of water depths and quality on corrosion of submerged metal structures in the water body considering environmental conditions. The depths considered were 30cm to 150cm. Four different metal coupons were selected (Mild Steel, Copper Steel, Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel] Galerkin`s finite element techniques was applied to evaluate the relationship between diffusion and weight loss, also velocity and weight loss at different water depths. The …

Influence of Mechanical Parameters on Corrosion Behavior of Metal Coupons in Simulated Environmental Conditions
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of mechanical parameters—namely applied stress, surface roughness, and deformation history—on the corrosion behavior of metal coupons exposed to corrosive environments. Mild steel and aluminum alloy specimens were prepared with controlled variations in tensile stress, polishing grades, and cold-working levels to simulate real-world mechanical influences. These coupons were immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution under ambient conditions, and their corrosion rates were monitored over a 30-day …

Investigating the Role of Moisture in the Physical Properties of Harra (Terminalia chebula) Fruit
Abstract: Harra (Terminalia chebula) is known as the “king of medicines” in Ayurveda. Its fruits include astringent, purgative, antibacterial, antifungal, and laxative effects. The behavior of harra fruit is mainly dependent on the moisture present. It affects the harvest, post-harvest machinery, separation, packaging, and transportation of harra fruit. This study focused on T’s physical qualities of chebula fresh fruit at 20%–25% (wb) moisture content, such as 50 fruit mass, length, width, …
