Cathodic Protection of Underground Pipeline by Polyurethane Coating
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Dolati, Abolghasem (Supervisor)
Abstract
Selection of appropriate coating system is the most important subject in corrosion control of buried pipelines. Corrosion control of buried pipelines is achieved by using a combination of barrier coatings and cathodic protection (CP). Applying barrier coating can decrease the protection current of CP. However, at the coating holidays the pipeline act as cathode generating hydroxyl ion and hydrogen electrochemically. Therefore the selected coating should be compatible with the alkaline condition.This research focuses on evaluating of an epoxy-tar and a urethane-tar based coating. Coatings performance has been tested by accelerated corrosion test methods (i.e. Salt spray according to ASTM...
Formation & Properties of Zn–Ca– Mn Tri – Cation’s Phosphate Coating on St37 Steels
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Afshar, Abdollah (Supervisor) ; Ghorbani, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Addition of heavy metal cations such as manganese and nickel in low zinc phosphating bath increases the corrosion resistance of coatings and provides more suitable substrates for painting (especially electrophoretic painting). In addition, due to accelerating property and low cost availability of heavy metal cations such as Mn, multi– cationic phosphating is cost effective. In the present study, chemical composition and operating parameters of zinc - calcium - manganese Tri- cationic phosphating solution were optimized. Then the effects of various parameters such as phosphating time, bath temperature and pH on properties of coating were investigated. According to the results, about 1 g/L was...

, Article International Journal of Mechanical Sciences ; Volume 53, Issue 9 , 2011 , Pages 777-785 ; 00207403 (ISSN) ; Kargarnovin, M. H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The present paper addresses an analytical method to determine the overall behavior of piezocomposite materials containing body centered cubic (BCC) distribution of arbitrary oriented ellipsoidal heterogeneities. This approach is based on the extension of the electromechanical equivalent inclusion method (EMEIM) to interacting multi-inhomogeneities. In this treatment the short and long range interactions of the piezoelectric particles are appropriately incorporated through the homogenizing eigenstrainelectric field. The periodicity of the microstructure of the medium suggests representing the eigenfields in terms of Fourier series, accounting for the matrixparticle, interparticle and...

Abstract
In order to produce a thick near equi-atomic NiTi intermetallic layer on the surface of titanium plate, layers of nickel with thicknesses of 30 μm and 60 μm were electroplated on commercial pure (Cp) titanium and subsequently were heat treated at 850°C and 900°C. The effects of heat treating temperature and the thickness of electroplated nickel on the evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. The results confirm the formation of various intermetallic layers in the coatings that substantially affect their hardness. The optimum condition for the formation of a thick NiTi intermetallic layer on the outer surface of the titanium was diffusion treatment of the sample...
