One of the new methods of anchoring steel structures is the use of large-scale buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) on the lateral system of this type of structure. This study investigates the behavior of BRBs and compares them with buckling braces. In this study, a two-dimensional frame with four stories and four spans was taken and analyzed in eight...

Improving the quality of iron ore sintering and adding specific components has positive effects on blast furnace productivity. Optimizing basicity in the blast furnace charge is one way to improve all indices of production processes. Adjusting basicity aims to achieve the formation of new phase compounds that are favourable for the metallurgical an...

This study investigated the mechanical properties of a series of Fe-Cr-Mn (Mo)-N alloys. The chromium content ranged from 16 to 18 mass %. The test alloys were produced by adding nitrided ferroalloys during melting in an induction furnace. Test specimens of each alloy were prepared for mechanical testing and microstructural observation. Tensile str...

Steel 17-7PH is austenitic-martensitic steel with high strength, hardness, and resistance to creep, and corrosion. It is designed for aerospace components, but can also be used for other applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance, as well as leaf springs for operation at temperatures up to 316 °C. It can be used in a solut...

Modern steel production cannot be imagined without manganese, because almost all steels contain manganese.In this paper, we present the impact of manganese on the tensile strength values of high-carbon steel. This paper presents an improvement in the quality of wire rolling with control of manganese content in steel and the value of C-equivalent, i...

This paper describes the difference in the creep rate of pre-strained and no pre-strained samples of superalloy N07080. The primary strengthening mechanism of this superalloy is based on the precipitation of fine and coherent particles of the intermetallic γ' phase Ni3(Al,Ti) that ensure good creep resistance. In the case of additional streng...

The production of concrete structural steel using controlled cooling with Tempcore technology enables the production of high-strength steel with improved adhesion to concrete while ensuring homogeneous properties for the construction of buildings, bridges, highways, and other construction facilities in any geographical environment. Concrete reinfor...

The assessment of workplace hazards involves recognizing the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of potential injuries or occupational diseases to employees. The risk assessment is performed by a team of experts from various scientific and professional fields to objectively evaluate the attributive and/or numerically expressed level of risk, ...

In this article we present the original Georgi-Glashow  model with gauge and fermion sector derivation in order to show grand unified theory (GUT) through this model, but also to correlate  and Standard Model (SM). One of the correlations reside in neutrino mass sector where both and Standard Model (SM) see neutrinos as massless particles...

Shape memory alloys are of great commercial importance from biomedical applications to smart materials. The electrochemical behavior of Cu-Al-Zn alloy in phosphate buffer without and in the presence of amino acid was investigated. Electrochemical researches were performed in a traditional three-electrode system by means of the Tafel extrapolation m...
