Steels applications

Steel pipe and tubing are relatively inexpensive and are used in many hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Steel is used because of its strength, suitability for bending and flanging and adaptability to high pressures and... 

Form groups of three. Each person should select a material from the three categories under consideration for this application (steel, aluminum alloy, and titanium alloy) other than the three listed in Table 8.3 and should perform a similar analysis—that is, calculate or look up yield strength, fracture toughness, critical crack size, number of cycles to failure, and the constants A and m in the Paris equation. Combine your results and compare your answers. Do you obtain a result similar to that in Table 8.3 ... 

At temperatures below 120°C, carbon steel can be used up to high pressures. At elevated temperatures and significant pressures hydrogen will penetrate carbon steel and react with the carbon to form methane. This results in a loss of ductility and cracking or blistering of the steel. For high temperature applications steel alloys containing molybdenum and steel are satisfactory.

In contrast to aluminum and titanium structural bonds where performance can be optimized for most aerospace applications, steel bonds are often designed to minimize cost as long as certain performance standards are met [47]. If feasible, many manufacturers prefer to select adhesives or primers that provide adequate strength and durability with untreated steel rather than to prepare the surface for bonding. 

This is another vital part of an impressed current system. The T/R must be rugged and reliable with minimal maintenance requirements. It should be easy to maintain with good instruction manuals, circuit diagrams for maintenance and easy access to fuses and other consumable and replaceable components. Compared with pipeline or marine CP applications (steel piles, etc.) the power demand is modest. Most steel in concrete needs less than 10 mA-m to provide protection, usually at less than 10 V. The power for a 100 watt light bulb will protect 10,000 m. This means that a single phase, air cooled T/R will usually protect even the largest structure and power consumption is rarely an economic concern. 

Mechanical rubber goods include hoses, power transmission (PT) belts, and conveyor belts. Aramids compete with nylon, polyester, glass, and steel in these applications. Steel dominates the rubber hydraulic hose market and polyester is the reinforcement of choice in lower pressure thermoplastic hoses. Advantages of aramid vs. other textiles in hose applications include higher strength, which can lead to constructions with fewer plies and less weight, and better thermal stability, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance. When compared with steel, aramid will not corrode and can be fabricated into lower weight, more flexible hoses. 

The book aims to provide a complete coverage of the types of plastics which are now increasingly being used in engineering in applications as diverse as gears, aircraft body construction, micro-electronics and extreme high temperature applications, steel replacement and artificial hip joints. The book also intends to provide a complete review of the use of polymers in engineering. 

In some applications, steel-ball bearings do not have the necessary hardness and corrosion resistance. Microwelds tend to occur between the balls and the race which roughen the surges and contaminate the lubricant. These problems can be alleviated by coating the steel balls with titaniiun carbide or by using monolithic silicon-nitride balls. 

Creep resistance. For high temperature application, steels stabilized with titanium or niobium are used.
