TL;DR: In this article, the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of rolled medium carbon steel were investigated and the result showed that the steel developed has excellent combination of tensile strength, impact strength and ductility which is very attractive for structural use.

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation has been carried out on the synthesis and characterization of ZA-27 alloy composites reinforced with zinc oxide nanoparticles and the results show that hardness and ultimate tensile strength of the composite samples increased progressively with increase in weight percentage of ZnO nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of moulding sand permeabilities prepared from the combinations of four proportions of coarse and fine particle size mixtures and pouring temperatures varied from 700, 750, and 800 (±10°C) were studied on the hardness, porosity, strength, and microstructure of cast aluminium pistons used in hydraulic brake master cylinder.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hard surface polishing grits and activation on electroless-nickel (EN) plating on cast aluminium alloy substrates in sodium hypophosphite baths were examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of heat treatment on the properties of rolled medium carbon steel were investigated and the results showed that the steel developed has excellent combination of tensile strength, hardness and impact strength which is very good for structural applications.
