Functionalization and Characterization of Metal Oxide Coatings of Stainless Steel and Silica Nanoparticles
DownloadSpring 2013
The development of tolerogens, fabricated devices eliciting tolerance toward incompatible donor ABO antigens in implant patients, is the ultimate goal of this project. This would permit ABO incompatible organ transplants, increase the donor pool for patients, increase efficiency in the use of...

Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....

Kennedy, J.R., Wiskel, J.B., Ivey, D.G., Henein, H.
The potential exists to use ultrasonic shear velocity for real time microstructure assessment of the quenching step in the teat treatment of L80 steel pipe. L80 steel samples were austenitized and subsequently cooled in different quench mediums (water, oil, heated oil, air and furnace) to produce...

The formation of bainite is the most studied and the most debated phase transformation in steels, with research spanning almost a century. With two theories of transformation, the transformation mechanism of bainite is still a disputed subject among physical metallurgists. Upper bainite and lower...

Modeling of the Effect of Run-out Table Cooling on the Microstructure of a Thick Walled X70 Skelp
DownloadSpring 2018
This thesis presents work performed to model and measure the effect of run-out table cooling on a thick walled X70 steel. During run-out table cooling, the steel undergoes several phase transformations that will affect its microstructure, and thus, its mechanical properties. To predict the steel...

Optimization techniques, in conjunction with a finite element thermal model, are used in this thesis to optimize the temperature profile (i.e. cooling rate and coiling temperature) of a steel skelp during laminar cooling. Optimization parameters include skelp velocity, laminar cooling bank...

Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

Sharma, Nitin Kumar, Kannan, Rangasayee, Hogan, James D., Fisher, Gary, Li, Leijun
Surface mining causes significant wear damage that affects equipment performance, reliability, and lead to associated downtime costs. To improve the wear resistance of components used in natural resources industries, cemented carbide tiles are joined to engaging surfaces of the components....

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Ultrasonic Leakage Detection (ULD) as a maintenance and condition monitoring technique for freight rail airbrakes in cold weather conditions
DownloadSpring 2015
Freight rail airbrakes need improvement in reliability to reduce failures, which can lead to harm to the environment, loss of human life, and a negative impact on the economy. This research focuses on identifying the failures of airbrakes using a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) framework,...

Shear Behaviour of Concrete Slabs and Beams Reinforced with High-Performance ASTM A1035 Steel
Download2013-09-30
Lubell, Adam S., Desalegne, Admasu S.
High-performance steel bars manufactured to conform to ASTM A1035-11 have different metallurgy and microstructure than conventional reinforcing steel. These changes result in an effective yield strength significantly higher than conventional ASTM A615 steel while also being less susceptible to...
