Technical Report The Construction of Alloy Wheels Introduction Aluminium alloy wheels are now used in all branches of Motor Racing, ranging from Touring cars and Rally cars to Formula One cars. The Alloy wheels offer far superior mechanical properties than the conventional steel wheels formerly used. These benefits include reduced un-sprung weight, i.e. not held by the suspension, providing more precise steering input and improved responsiveness. Alloy wheels also improve acceleration and
The Head of a Youth (a.k.a. The Nelson Head) was constructed about mid-2nd century CE and after slight damage to the sculpture, the tip of the nose and the right side of the mouth were restored with marble. Interestingly, the bust (images below) obtained its name from the man who it was procured from, Dr. Philip Nelson, since the subject of the model is unclear (Museum of Fine Arts Boston, 2018). The head, which was sculpted with Dolomitic marble from the Greek island of Thasos, is currently located

Metallic glass Metallic glass or amorphous metal is a metal that when melted will be cooled rapidly to disorganize the particles in an atomic scale. Due to the particles being stable yet unorganized, the metal or alloy this metal or alloy will send kinetic energy back to anything it hits making it bounce or proceed further and longer. Originally used for missiles and space discoveries, this metal is very flexible and is good for low temperature environments because of the disorganizations of particles
Manmade and Natural Materials Students like myself need to know what materials are available, how they behave in use and how they can be worked or processed during manufacture and construction. Having a good understanding of these will help me to select suitable materials for my products. In choosing materials for a particular project, I will need to consider their physical and working properties, so that I am able to decide which material is best and which method of processing is
its strength. A wide range mechanical properties with perfect resistance to corrosion make stainless steel very popular in the world. The simple stainless steel alloy contains just iron and chromium. The predominant alloying elements of stainless steel is chromium. The concentration of chromium should be greater than 11 wt%. The alloys that cantains greater than 13 % chromium have body centered cubic structure from 0 K to its meilting point. They do not change the phase field to face centered cubic(F

The obtained results are useful for potential applications of these alloys in industrial and nuclear applications. Keywords: maraging steel- cobalt free- gamma shielding- effective atomic number- mass attenuation coefficients. Radiation is part of our life, so researchers have focused on studying the photon interaction parameters
1. An alloy is a homogenous mixture of a metal with one or more other elements which are usually other metals. The purpose of making alloys is to alter or enhance a metal’s chemical and physical properties in order to use the alloy for a specific function. For example, alloys can be made to enhance the hardness, magnetism, tensile strength and corrosion resistance of a metal. The harder alloy can replace the use of another metal that does not have the required and ideal characteristics for a particular
There are various materials which can be used on aircrafts. Composite and alloy materials are the primary component used due to the ability to combine certain materials with different strengths together to create a composite or alloy. These have ultimate properties that are needed to create an aircraft to be used safely in application. Composites are used due to the extreme high strength to weight ratio, although using large amounts of metals can be strong, unlike composites this would be too heavy
aluminium is completely recyclable without a reduction in quality. Aluminium Alloys Aluminium in its most pure form is not suitable for use in aircraft as it is soft and lacks strength. In this condition it only has a tensile strength of 90N/〖mm〗^2. For aircraft and other applications aluminium is alloyed or mixed with other additive metals to increase its strength and rigidity. It is possible to create a high strength aluminium alloy with strength greater than 600N/〖mm〗^2 with the correct additives and
Introduction This Introduction is talking about the aluminium alloys by dispersion strengthening and precipitation hardening. Firstly, is the dispersion strengthening to introduce. The dispersion strengthening is the some of metal alloys of hardness may be raise by some very small and even dispersed particles in the origin phase matrix. Whether inside the powder compaction contain of some insoluble particles ,this call dispersion strengthening. The other phases of the particle are normally the most
Tool wear is a problem in machining titanium alloy, so it is of great importance to find out the wear mechanism of cutting tools in order to improve the cutting tool life time. The mechanism controlling the wear of cemented carbide and influence of cutting parameters on different wear modes in machining Ti6Al4V has been investigated in this paper. Diffusion and chemical wear at high cutting speed and feed rate and attrition in low speed and feed rate is suggested to be the dominant wear mechanism

high fracture toughness, malleability and availability are just some of the many advantages associated with metals. Metals, accompanied by their many compounds and alloys, similar properties, high and low corrosion levels, and affects, whether negative or positive, are a grand force to be reckoned with. Metals and Metal Alloys In chemistry, metals compose a great number of the periodic table elements. Each metal has its own characteristic mass,
Learned helplessness and depression Learned helplessness is defined as the idea that clinical depression and similar mental illnesses could result from the real or perceived lack of control (Hock, 2013). This concept has been studied immensely throughout the years. One of the first psychologists to pursue this phenomenon was Martin E. P. Seligman, who in 1972 used dogs to examine the effect of a controllable versus uncontrollable situation and the effect that had on learning (Hock, 2013). Several
