Commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) is an important groups of titanium family and because of high strength, low density, high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, this group of titanium is a suitable choice for application at chemical, petrochemical and medicine industry. Nowadays surgeons have a tendency toward use of CP-Ti instead of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Moreover, because of body anatomy limitation, use of thick sheets result in high volume and damage soft tissue. Therefore, for sheet thickness reduction, study of the effects of metallurgical and geometrical parameter on fracture behavior of thin sheets is important. In this study, the fracture behavior of CP-Ti thin sheets investigated....

Interlayer composition as one of the most important factors of TLP bonding could affect bonding region composition and microstructure that both of them govern the mechanical properties of the joint. Due to the risk of substrate microstructure degradation , welding of dual phase steel needs more cautions. TLP bonding ideally acquires joints having more similar microstructure to substrate. Moreover , using this method could avoid the change of base metal microstructure when heat treatment of carbon steel is postponed until after bonding. Fe-based , Ni-based and commercially pure Cu are three different composition has been studied in this work. The bonded samples were investigated by optic and... 

Dual Phase ferritic-martensitic steels are kind of high strength low alloy steels (HASLA) which are widely used in industry because of their strength and formability. Since welding of dual phase steels in conventional welding methods causes structural change and Subsequently alters mechanical properties of both weld zone and heat affected zone(HAZ), additional operations which are not commercially viable is needed to achieve a dual phase structure in structurally changed regions. In this study, transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding method is used during dual phasing process in order to preserve dual phase ferritic-martensitic structure and avoid extra heat treatment. Applied pressure during...

After World War II, steel bearings containing copper element have been developed by the Navy of the United States of America with the HSLA-100 brand. Since 1890 and in order to manufacture tanks and tools for the body of navy equipment, the steel HY 80 was used instead of HSLA-100. Because of the high carbon content, the welding properties of the HY 80 are low. Furthermore, increasing of hardness and decreasing of toughness in the heat-affected zone generated during the welding process lead to susceptibility of this alloy to hydrogen cracking and brittle fracture. Therefore, in order to minimize the cost of welding, low-alloy high strength steel (HSLA) is used which contain copper. Reducing... 

The inflation paradigm solves the so-called flatness problem of the standard cosmo- logical model and explains the homogeneity of the Universe by adding a period of exponential expansion at early times to the standard scenario. Moreover, it provides a mechanism for generating density perturbations, serving as the seed of large-scale structures. One of the successes of inflation is predicting primordial scale-invariant perturbations that agree with the observations of cosmic background radiation. Nev- ertheless, there will be a cold, matter-free universe after exponential expansion, so one needs a process that leads to a hot cosmos containing standard particles after the end of inflation, the... 

Explaining the angular momentum of the cosmological structures is an essential part of the structure formation theory, and it is not fully understood yet. The Tidal Torque Theory (TTT) is the standard explanation of the initial angular momentum of the halos based on the gravitational instability picture. It predicts the angular momentum growth with linear approximation and has been confirmed for linear stages of proto-halos, but the final halo is a highly non-linear object. Nonlinear effects are hard to model, however, we propose a new mechanism for the nonlinear evolution of the halos. We suggest that when two halos pass by each other, their angular momentum changes with a similar mechanism...
