  1. 1. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Viktor Lange; [2023]
    Keywords : Tribology; friction; wear; steam; steam engine; ranotor; invencon; invencon AB; steel; contact mechanics; hexagonal boron nitride; molybdenum disulfide; tungsten disulfide; lubricants; solid lubricants; Tribologi; friktion; nötning; ånga; ångmotor; stål; kontaktmekanik; smörjning; smörjmedel; fasta smörjmedel;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

  3. 2. Projection Nut Welding to High- and Ultra-high Strength Steels

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Love Englund; [2023]
    Keywords : mechanics; solid mechanics; material mechanics; welding; resistance welding; projection welding; nut welding; high strength steel; ultra high strength steel; uhss; coated boron steel; mekanik; hållfasthetslära; materialvetenskap; svetsning; motståndssvetsning; projektionssvetsning; muttersvetsning; belagt borstål;

    Abstract : In an effort to increase the fuel efficiency of cars more widespread use of higher strength steels is seen for their high strength-to-weight ratio. Thesesteels are more limited in their formability and tendency to harden than conventional steels, complicating manufacturing. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design of an In-situ cell, for hard X-ray spectroscopy of surfaces used in high-pressure and high-temperature experiments : Design av en In-situ cell för intensiv röntgenspektroskopi i högtryck- högtemperaturexperiment

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap och tillämpad matematik (MTM)

    Author : David Zamora Torres; Felix Abeln; [2021]
    Keywords : In-situ cell; x-ray; XAS; x-ray absorption spectroscopy; XAFS; FEM; Finite element method; In-situ cell; x-ray; XAS; XAFS; FEM; Finita element metoden; röntgenspektroskopi;

    Abstract : This project analyzes how an in-situ cell can be developed to withstand high amounts of pressure and temperature of at least 100 bar and 500 °C. A theoretical prototype will be created as a product for Malmö University and other researchers to use or improve. READ MORE

  5. 4. High Temperature Tribology in Hot Stamping

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Evan Kurnia; [2019]
    Keywords : high temperature tribology; hot stamping; acoustic emission; condition monitoring; hardfacing;

    Abstract : Many automotive components are made of Al-Si coated ultra-high strength boron steel (UHSS) and are produced by hot stamping process. In this process, the workpiece is heated to an austenitizing temperature and is then formed and quenched simultaneously between the tools to achieve the desired shape and high strength. READ MORE

  6. 5. Resistance Spot Welding of AlSi-coated Ultra High Strength Steel : An experimental study

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Kristofer Hjelmtorp; [2019]
    Keywords : RSW; resistance spot welding; usibor; boron steel;

    Abstract : The automotive industry of today faces ever harder requirements from regulatory bodies to increase the fuel efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint and increase the safety of their vehicles. The problem is being tackled in different ways; one of them being the use of innovative materials to reduce the overall weight while improving the crash safety of the vehicle. READ MORE
