Essays on Microstructure

Lab report

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to determine the influence of phase transformation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of plain carbon steel type AISI C1045. The testing of metals is necessary to learn what metal is suitable for construction of a specific item by testing how microstructures react during phase transformations. The metal used during the experiments was samples of AISI C1045 Steel also called carbon steel alloy. The samples each underwent tests for Heat Energy (ft-lb) and Hardness (HRC) at five temperatures; 70°F (assumed to be room temperature, 400°F, 700°F, 1000°F and ...

Introduction

Stainless steel is an important component in the modern industry having various uses in the industry. This has forced new developments in its manufacturing especially in terms of its composition. This can be the steel made from aluminum, manganese, and iron. All these materials makes the finished stainless steel product unique in terms of its composition, physical metallurgy, and other factors. This paper is going to discuss the development in stainless steel technology with regards to its composition in terms of the materials used. The materials that are going to be discusses are Al, Mn, and Fe. The paper ...

Effects of dietary Arabinogalactan on the rheological properties of yoghurt

Rheological properties of the dairy products constitute a crucial index through which the quality of the dairy product is determined. Most of the consumers rely on the texture of the dairy products when deciding the best product to buy. Texture is related to the structure and microstructure of the product. Consequently, the knowledge of the rheological properties as well as compounds associated to the rheological properties is paramount. This report aims at analyzing the effect of Arabinogalactan on the rheological properties of yoghurt (Chronakis, 1997).

Yield stress is one of the measures used to examine the rheological properties of the ...
