ABSTRACT
The practice in most manganese steel melting furnace is to raise the melting and pouring temperatures to 1500℃ and above so as to enhance fluidity of the molten metal and ease removal of slag. High temperature promotes micro and macro carbide segregation of alloy elements and formation of embritting transformation products. The presence of segregation at the grain boundaries, acts as barrier to dislocation movement. This could be responsible for uneven, inconsistent wear rate and pattern of the steel. This paper studies the effect of pouring/melting temperature on the propensity of carbide segregation of austenitic manganese steel and by translation on the wear characteristics of jaw crushers. Austenitic manganese steel (AMS) was subjected to different heat/melt temperatures ranging from 1380 to 1550℃ (H1-H3) in an induction furnace of 1-ton capacity. Samples obtained from the edge, middle and mounting section of the heat treated steel were examined by means of optical metallurgical microscope and the relative abundance of elements was determined by means of energy dispersed X-ray (EDX) elemental spectrometer. The results indicated high segregation of alloy elements at high melting temperatures. However, uniform dispersion of carbide particles in the base of the austenitic grains was noticed at pouring temperature range of 1400-1500℃.

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...

ABSTRACT This study consists of the development and presentation of example of seismic isolation system analysis and design for a continuous, 3-span, cast-in-place concrete box girder bridge. It is expected that example is developed for all Lead-Rubber Bearing (LRB) seismic isolation system on piers and abutments which placed in between super-structure and sub-structure. Design forces, displacements, and drifts are given distinctive consideration in...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
