A testing program has been carried out by MWD with the aim of comparing imported hot-rolled and New Zealand-made cold-rolled RHS with welded connections at location of maximum bending. A full description of the experiments is found in Ministry of Works and Development Central Laboratories Report No. 5-80/3. This is available from the Ministry of Works and Development Head Office Library. The size of section compared was 102 x 51 x 4.9 mm corresponding to the largest size manufactured by New Zealand Steel Limited. Lengths of RHS of respective types were fabricated into 1.83 m long simply supported beams with a fillet-welded dividing plate through the midspan location. Two such beams of the cold-rolled and hot-rolled RHS were loaded monotonically through application of load at the dividing plate. The cold-rolled beams failed at a rather low maximum deflection ductility of 7.3 and in a manner which indicated a lowered yield stress in the vicinity of the weld of the dividing plate. On the other hand, the hot-rolled beams continued to strain harden to the limit of the test rig, equivalent to a deflection ductility of 29. While hysteretic testing is needed to draw firm conclusions
on the reliability of cold-rolled RHS in energy-absorbing systems, the test series does permit the observation that the material would be inadmissible in a situation where moderate to large member ductility demands were anticipated near welds.

The austenite/pearlite growth interface in a model alloy steel (Fe-1 lMn-0.8C nominal wt%) is being investigated. In this particular alloy pearlite nodules can be grown isothermally in austenite that remains stable at room temperature, thus facilitating examination of the transformation interfaces. This study presents preliminary results of thin foil TEM of the austenite/pearlite interface, as part of a programme of aimed at studying alloy carbide precipitation reactions at this interface which can result in significant strengthening of microalloyed low- and medium- carbon steels L Similar studies of interface structure, made on a partially decomposed high- Mn austenitic alloy, have been reported recently.The experimental alloys were made as 50 g argon arc melts using high purity materials and homogenised. Samples were hot- rolled, swaged and machined to 3mm diameter rod, solution treated at 1300 °C for 1 hr and WQ. Specimens were then solutionised between 1250 °C and 1000 °C and isothermally transformed between 610 °C and 550 °C for 10-18 hr and WQ.

The transient multiphase flow behavior in a single-strand tundish during ladle change was studied using physical modeling. The water and silicon oil were employed to simulate the liquid steel and slag. The effect of the turbulence inhibitor on the slag entrainment and the steel exposure during ladle change were evaluated and discussed. The effect of the slag carry-over on the water-oil-air flow was also analyzed. For the original tundish, the top oil phase in the impact zone was continuously dragged into the tundish bath and opened during ladle change, forming an emulsification phenomenon. By decreasing the liquid velocities in the upper part of the impact zone, the turbulence inhibitor decreased considerably the amount of entrained slag and the steel exposure during ladle change, thereby eliminating the emulsification phenomenon. Furthermore, the use of the TI-2 effectively lowered the effect of the slag carry-over on the steel cleanliness by controlling the movement of slag droplets. The results from industrial trials indicated that the application of the TI-2 reduced considerably the number of linear inclusions caused by ladle change in hot-rolled strip coils.

Energy harvesting methods that use functional materials have attracted interest because they can take advantage of an abundant but underutilized energy source. Most vibration energy harvester designs operate most effectively around their resonant frequency. However, in practice, the frequency band for ambient vibrational energy is typically broad. The development of technologies for broadband energy harvesting is therefore desirable. The authors previously proposed an energy harvester, called a flexible piezoelectric device (FPED), that consists of a piezoelectric film (polyvinylidene difluoride) and a soft material, such as silicon rubber or polyethylene terephthalate. The authors also proposed a system based on FPEDs for broadband energy harvesting. The system consisted of cantilevered FPEDs, with each FPED connected via a spring. Simply supported FPEDs also have potential for broadband energy harvesting, and here, a theoretical evaluation method is proposed for such a system. Experiments are conducted to validate the derived model.
