OBJECTIVE. the purpose of this study was to evaluate a STIR sequence with an optimized inversion pulse that entails use of increased receiver bandwidth for metal artifact reduction.CONCLUSION. Image distortion, artifacts, ...

Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining method conducted under large stress and strain conditions at low peak temperatures when compared to arc welding. Friction stir welding produces a large variety of microstructures ...

Spirulina platensis is a helical-shaped photosynthetic cyanobacterium. Its cultivation depends on light intensity, nutrients, pH, cell density, temperature, among others. Microalgae are capable of growing in open and closed ...

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an excellent alternative process used in pipelines circumferential welds due to fusion welded joint low corrosion resistance. This study describes the corrosion resistance as a function of ...

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of spray fluid performance with stirring in tanks of agricultural sprayers. The pesticide spray should be stirred properly to ensure spraying homogeneity throughout ...

During friction stir welding or processing (FSP), temperature and deformation have influence on the final microstructure and mechanical properties. Studying microstructures before and after welding might help interpreting ...

The necessity to reduce the weight of transport structures, such as cars and airplanes, has become more important due to gas emission regulations. In this regard, the use of hybrid structures made of steel and aluminum is ...
