Carbon Filaments

Considerable effort has been directed toward an improved understanding of the production of the strong and stiff ∼ 1-20 μm diameter pyrolytic carbon fibers of the type reported by Koyama and, more recently, by Tibbetts. These macroscopic fibers are produced when pyrolytic carbon filaments (∼ 0.1 μm or less in diameter) are thickened by deposition of carbon during thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon gases. Each such precursor filament normally lengthens in association with an attached catalyst particle. The subject of filamentous carbon formation and much of the work on characterization of the catalyst particles have been reviewed thoroughly by Baker and Harris. However, identification of the catalyst particles remains a problem of continuing interest. The purpose of this work was to characterize the microstructure of the pyrolytic carbon filaments and the catalyst particles formed inside stainless steel and plain carbon steel tubes. For the present study, natural gas (∼; 97 % methane) was passed through type 304 stainless steel and SAE 1020 plain carbon steel tubes at 1240°K.

This paper proposes multi-NDE techniques for enhanced and reliable detection of localised defects or flaws in small-diameter (19.05 mm outer diameter (OD) and 2.77 mm wall thickness (WT)) low-carbon steel tubes. Multi-NDE techniques comprising magnetic flux leakage (MFL), remote field eddy current (RFEC) and the ultrasonic internal rotary inspection system (IRIS) are used to investigate the detectability and spatial resolution for the detection of localised flaws of different types and sizes, which simulate flaws generally formed in carbon steel tubes. The studies reveal that the MFL and IRIS techniques detect 0.55 mm-deep holes and notches while the RFEC technique detects 1.11 mm-deep holes and 0.55 mm-deep notches. The IRIS technique is capable of resolving axial and circumferential holes (1 mm diameter and 1.39 mm depth) of 2 mm hole-to-hole separation, while the MFL technique can resolve axial holes of 2 mm hole-to-hole separation but not circumferential holes. The RFEC technique can detect axial holes as a single hole but is unable to detect circumferential holes, resulting in no spatial resolution for the axial and circumferential holes. Compared to the MFL and RFEC signals, IRIS readily discerns the spatial extent of the flaws with the possibility of sizing from the images. The study also reveals that the resolution capability of the IRIS technique is influenced by the speed of the turbine rotation inside the tube.

This paper presents the crushing behaviour of empty and foam-filled conical tubes under axial dynamic loading. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed and validated against experiments. The validated model was subsequently used to assess the beneficial of foam filling with regards to the variation in filler densities and tube materials. The results obtained were further analyzed and compared with straight tubes. We aim to evaluate the critical effective point for different density of fillers in foam-filled tubes based on specific energy absorption (SEA) value. The SEA value was highest for foam-filled conical aluminium tube with aluminium foam filler, followed by straight aluminium tube, straight carbon steel tube and conical carbon steel tube. Moreover, the initial peak force was found lower in aluminium tubes than carbon steel tubes and lower in conical tubes than that in straight tubes. The combination of conical aluminium tube and aluminium foam filler successfully convey the beneficial of foam filling and thus signify that proper combination and selection of tube and filler is vital in assessing the effectiveness of foam-filled tubes.

Continuous Product

The market environment is characterized by keen competition, an oversupply of goods, rapidly shifting tastes and a high rate of product innovation ad obsolescence. The long term profitability or the very survival of a company depends on new products and on commitments to continuous product innovation. Firms are seeking differential advantage and their actions continue to segment large market into smaller sub-segments. There is often a back and forth action between market reconsolidation based on innovation and fragmentation based on competition.
