Interactions between Molten High‐Silicon Electrical Steels and Carbon‐Bonded MgO Refractories Based on Recyclates

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines how several molten high‐silicon electrical steels interact with both conventional and recycled MgO–C refractories. For this, various immersion experiments are conducted. In addition to infiltration, a number of mechanisms are identified and explained that control the corrosion of the refractory material.

Effects of Moisture Diffusion on a System-in-Package Module by Moisture–Thermal–Mechanical-Coupled Finite Element Modeling

Micromachines, 2022
Epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) are commonly used in electronic products for chip encapsulation, but the moisture absorption of EMC can induce significant reliability challenges. In this study, the effects of hygrothermal conditions and structure parameters on moisture diffusion and the consequent influences (such as moisture content on die surfaces and

An Experimental Investigation of the Scaling of Columnar Joints [PDF]

, 2006
Columnar jointing is a fracture pattern common in igneous rocks in which cracks self-organize into a roughly hexagonal arrangement, leaving behind an ordered colonnade. We report observations of columnar jointing in a laboratory analog system, desiccated

Mathematical and neural network modelling of terebinth fruit under fluidized bed drying

Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2015
The paper presents an application which uses Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNNs) to model the non-linear behaviour of the terebinth fruit drying. Mathematical models and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used for prediction of effective moisture ...

Nitride‐Reinforced Metal Matrix Nanocomposite Powders Production by Plasma‐Assisted Thermochemical Treatment of Intermetallic Powders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a new methodology for producing metal matrix nanocomposites in the solid state. The process involves the plasma‐assisted thermochemical treatment of metallic alloy powders. As a proof‐of‐concept, TiN nanoparticles are synthesized directly on the surface of FeTi intermetallic powder particles, enabling the development of the ...
