  1. 1. Influence from temperature variations in stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of stainless steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Hallén; Marcus Johansson Storne; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels and how they relate to the material property of stacking fault energy (SFE) and its relation to temperature and nickel content. Austenitic stainless steels are commonly used and well known for good mechanical properties and deformation characteristics. READ MORE

  2. 2. Evaluation of the DXA radiation environment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

    University essay from

    Author : Saga Söderholm; [2022-05-18]
    Keywords : Medical physics; DXA; DEXA; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; Bone mineral density;

    Abstract : Purpose: The aims of this work were to evaluate the radiation environment in the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) rooms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, estimate personnel doses, determine legal requirements for DXA personnel, examine the operators’ view on radiation safety and develop material with dose information for patients and operators. Theory: DXA is a low dose X-ray modality mainly used in osteoporosis examinations, for which it is considered the reference technique. READ MORE

  3. 3. The Effect of Alternative Tungsten Carbide Grain Size Distribution on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties in Cemented Carbides

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Filip Ivarsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cemented Carbides; WC Grain Size Distribution; Mechanical Properties; Microstructure Analysis; Hårdmetall; WC Kornstorleksfördelning; Mekaniska Egenskaper; Mikrostruktur Analys;

    Abstract : In the constant pursuit of better-performing cemented carbides, recent studies suggest that a combination of better hardness and toughness can be obtained by changing its WC grain size distribution. As the area is still rather unexplored, this  thesis  aims  to  broaden  the  knowledge  and  answer  whether mechanical properties can be changed by changing the WC grain size distribution, in the context of mining drill bit inserts.

  4. 4. The Investigation of Crack Propagation in Cortical Bone using a Phase Field Fracture Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cortical Bone; Cortical bone microstructure; Phase field; Phase field fracture approach; Crack propagation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Human cortical bone tissue is a complex and strong composite material, with the ability to resist damage via slowing, stopping or redirecting propagating cracks. However, the ability is impaired with age. At the microscale, changes are seen both in terms of increased porosity and as changes in local material parameters. READ MORE

  5. 5. Correlation between microstructure and fatigue cracks in cast aluminium alloy A205

    University essay from Jönköping University/Tekniska Högskolan

    Author : Max Holmberg; Pontus Sundberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Aluminium Alloy A205;

    Abstract : Materials research in the aerospace industry is, among other things, focused on reducing the weight and increasing the life of components. Materials with high strength and long lifespan are therefore examined. READ MORE
