Sulphur concrete is a relatively new material, and although similar in final appearance to portland cement concrete, its manufacture, handling, use, and testing are different. Sulphur concrete is a thermoplastic material ...

Quality and structural integrity of welded pressure equipment are defined by The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC). The problem is complex, due to welded joint imperfections, matching effect, heterogeneity of ...

An analysis of the influence of heterogeneity of the ferriteaustenite welded joint on its integrity has been performed. The Charpy specimens, with notch positioned in different regions of welded joint, have been tested ...

In this work, a possibility to develop new chromite-based refractory linings for casting applications has been examined. Lining composition optimization with the controlled reologic properties was achieved by applying ...

In present paper, the experimental research of the behaviour of high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) exposed to low-cycle fatigue (LCF) with controlled and fully reversible strain (Delta epsilon/2 = const, R epsilon = ...

Turbine blades are one of the most important machine parts in every power generator. Corrosion and/or erosion attack on blades are also available in moisture atmosphere, because the wet water vapour is an usual working ...

The general method for industrial chamber dryer optimization was reported in this paper. The first step in finding the most suitable drying regime is to characterized the clay raw material, especially its water loss at ...

Due to its chemical composition based on CaCO3 and low price, eggshells, as waste from one of the most widely consumed foods worldwide, are receiving increased attention in building and construction industry studies. The ...

The paper considers the moisture expansionphenomenon, as a specific form of corrosion process ofbrick clay products degradation [1]. The influence of themineralogical composition of raw materials, firingtemperature and ...
