Bead-on-plate submerged arc welding was performed on the AISI 4135 heat-treatable low-alloy (HTLA) steel using S2 welding wire and granular Cr-Mo basic flux. The Cr-Mo active flux was produced by the bonded -unfused method. The alloying elements were introduced into the weld metal by active flux. Two methods were introduced for calculating the recovery rate (η) of the alloying elements. Moreover, by defining the slag factor (α) of the process and η of the alloying elements, the amount of a specific element transferred from flux into WM was calculated by the proposed equation. Likewise, microstructure evolutions, inclusions characteristics, longitudinal tensile, indentation, and CVN impact...

In this study, tensile strength of gypsum-based composite with aluminum fibers up to 15 vol.% was studied. To increase the interfacial bond strength between fibers and matrix, aluminum fibers were anodized under different conditions. Single fiber pull-out tests were carried out to investigate the bond strength. The interface was examined by scanning electron microscope. The ability of the composites to withstand longitudinal tensile load was also studied by tensile tests of dog bone-shaped, randomly oriented fiber-reinforced gypsum. By the introduction of aluminum fibers in gypsum as a randomly oriented composite, considerable increment in the strength is achieved and the toughness of the... 

The effect of titanium addition on the SAW weld metal microstructure of API 5L-X70 pipeline steel was investigated. The relationship between microstructure and toughness of the weld deposit was studied by means of full metallographic, longitudinal tensile, Charpy-V notch and HIC tests on the specimens cut transversely to the weld beads. The best combination of microstructure and impact properties was obtained in the range of 0.02-0.05% titanium. By further increasing of titanium content, the microstructure was changed from a mixture of acicular ferrite, grain-boundary ferrite and Widmanstätten ferrite to a mixture of acicular ferrite, grain-boundary ferrite, bainite and ferrite with M/A... 

Fiber reinforced gypsum are prevalent building materials in which short fibers with high tensile strength are embedded into a gypsum matrix to produce supplemental strong and lightweight construction materials. Due to confrontation to a rising risk of death and economic disaster in earthquake-prone areas, quake-resistant materials and structures should be employed for building constructions. Gypsum based composites as a unique candidate for this purpose reduce the risks and produce much confident construction materials for residential buildings. In this work tensile strength of gypsum composites with different volume fraction of polypropylene (PP) and poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide...
