1. 1. Thermodynamic modelling of the copper-zinc-tin ternary system : A study towards lead-free brass

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Caterina Radogna; [2023]
   Keywords : Brass-based alloys; Lead-free brass; Calphad; Thermo-Calc; Thermodynamic description; Mässingsbaserade legeringar; Blyfri mässing; Calphad; Thermo-Calc; Termodynamisk beskrivning;

   Abstract : Lead (Pb) is frequently used as an alloying element in brass to enhance machinability and castability. However, this element poses a significant risk to human health and the environment. The 2021 revision of the Drinking Water Directive imposed stricter limits on Pb content in brass, encouraging the development of lead-free brass. READ MORE

3. 2. Simulation and Experimental Based Hardenability Evaluation of Chromium Alloyed Powder Metal Steels

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Atharva Kotasthane; [2023]
   Keywords : Hardenability; Martensite; Simulation Modelling; Microhardness; Microstructure; Härdbarhet; Martensit; Simuleringsmodellering; Mikrohårdhet; Mikrostruktur;

   Abstract : Powder metallurgy is a branch of metal forming technology where metal powders are used to manufacture parts and components. It is a flexible and economical technique for manufacturing complicated shapes. This present work focuses on press and sinter technology and forms a part of Höganäs’s efforts of modelling hardenability through quenching. READ MORE

4. 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.

5. 4. Effect of post-treatment of cemented carbide : Microstructural investigation and evaluation of mechanical properties of cemented carbide inserts for rock tool applications

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

   Author : Jessica Jacobs; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cemented carbides are used in rock tool applications by reason of their beneficial mechanical properties, i.e. a combination of high toughness, wear resistance and hardness. The cemented carbides commonly receive their hardness from tungsten carbides (WC) whereas cobalt (Co) is the dominating binder material. READ MORE

6. 5. Low temperature embrittlement of duplex stainless steels : A study of alloying elements’ effect

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Libang Lai; [2020]
   Keywords : Duplex stainless steels; low temperature embrittlement; phase separation; alloying element; vanadium addition; mechanical properties; Rostfria duplexstål; sprödhet vid låg temperatur; fasseparering; legeringselement; tillsats av vanadin; mekaniska egenskaper;

   Abstract : Duplex stainless steels (DSSs), consisting of an equal amount of ferrite and austenite phases, have wide applications in e.g. vehicles, chemical engineering as well as nuclear plant  because  of  the  combination  of  excellent  mechanical properties  and  corrosion resistance.
