Aluminum composites are one of the most important alloys with a wide range of properties and applications. In this paper, we predict the micro-hardness of aluminum-based alloys by artificial neural method (ANN). First, the ...

In this research the environmental effects (CO2) of rock wool as a mineral insulation and expanded polystyrene as a polymeric insulation for building insulation is studied. First the intended building is simulated ...

Today, with regard to population growth, there is a need for more renewable energy sources that can easily serve different human needs without harming the environment; therefore, designing energy saving buildings as well ...

Data-driven studies extensively depend on the quality of measurement data. The quality of the measurement data depends on the statistical characteristics, which is obtained from a number of measurements under stable ...

In this study, lead titanate nanopowder was synthesized using mechanical activation. Raw materials including titanium oxide powder (anatase) and Lead oxide (ІІ) with a ball to powder weight ratio of 1: 10 and the powder ...

The present study investigates the effects of type of shielding gas on the depth, width and hardness of 17-4PH stainless steel. For this purpose, pure He, pure Ar and 80%Ar + 20% He were used as shielding gases in TIG ...

Heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is obviously a very desirable and environmental friendly energy source, increasing thermal efficiency while reducing energy costs is possible through the use of industrial boilers. In ...

In order to increase the corrosion resistance and improve the biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V alloy used in medical applications such as implants, it has been modified with various methods including PEO. On the other hand, ...
