Plasma Nitriding Lab Report

1237 Words5 Pages

1. Introduction
Plasma nitriding (PN) is a common low temperature thermo-chemical surface treatment that is applied to the machine parts and tools made of steels, aluminum alloys and titanium alloys to increase their reliability and performance[1,2]. In this process, a plasma is developed around the workpiece within a chamber by application of a high electric potential between anode (earth-connected chamber wall) and the cathode (the workpiece) in a low pressure N2-H2 atmosphere. N-containing ions and/or radicals are produced within the plasma. Ions accelerate to the cathode where they discharge or dissociate and resulting nitrogen atoms are introduced and diffuse into the surface. Sputtering caused by surface bombardment with ions within …show more content…

3. Results and discussion
In this section, nitrided layer microstructure and composition, surface hardness and hardness profile, surface topography, and wear test results of the samples treated at different temperatures and gas mixtures are presented and compared with those of the un-nitrided one.
Fig. 1 presents the typical microstructure of the heat treated tungsten tool steel. The microstructure consists of a matrix of martensite and spheroidized carbide precipitates. High speed steels contain a high content of elements such as molybdenum, chromium, tungsten, vanadium, and cobalt along with enough carbon to provide a large amount of stable carbides in the final structure. Secondary hardening after tempering is due to precipitation of mixed carbides. Image analysis by ImageJ software [29] revealed the percentage of alloy carbides to be about 15%.The overall hardness of the steel as reported in table 3 was 910

    Results The lab experiment was done in two parts, one with the NAND, NOR, XOR and Hex Inverters and the other with a 7483 full adder gate, both will verify the truth table when two input bits and a carry are added together. The circuits were built by examining the 1 bits through a K-Map to create a Boolean expression for the sum and carry. The Boolean expression for the sum was A⊕B⊕C and the carry as AB+BC_in+AC_in. From these two expressions, we notice that we must use two exclusive-ORs gates in the sum inputs for A, B, and C. For the sum, we have to use NOR and NAND (the only available gates from the lab manual).

    For most sequences at position 4 and 5 we observe only the nucleotides G and T, respectively. There may be rare cases where other nucleotides may also be found. To consider such observations, we need to do a process called additive smoothing or Laplace smoothing to smooth the categorical data. [9] In this case, we add 4 sequences: AAAAAAAAA, CCCCCCCCC, GGGGGGGG, TTTTTTTTT.

    I need to find the area of rectangle ABCD. I know that ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at point E. Segment DE equals 4x-5, segment BC equals 2x+6, and segment AC equals 6x. I predict that To find the area of rectangle ABCD I need to find out the base and height of the rectangle. The first step is to find what x equals. Since I know the intersecting line segments AC and DB are congruent that means when I times the equation 4x-5 for segment DE by two it will equal the equation 6x for segment AC.

    Experiment 7 In this experiment we configured several DC circuits consisting of an emf and a network of resistors. The circuits were composed of a power supply, two DMMs, a circuit board, an SPST switch, and an assortment of known resistors along with one unknown resistor. We measured the current and voltage of the entire circuit as well as the potential drops across each resistor to determine the parameters of the circuit including the resistance, voltage, and current for each component.

    Suppose we have a single-hop RCS where there is one AF relay that amplifies the signal received from a transmitter and forwards it to a receiver. Assume that the transmitter sends over the transmitter-to-relay channel a data symbol ${s_k}$, from a set of finite modulation alphabet, $S={S_1, S_2,ldots,S_{cal A}}$, where ${cal A}$ denotes the size of the modulation alphabet. The discrete-time baseband equivalent signal received by the relay, $z_k$, at time $k$ is given by egin{equation} z_k = h_{1,k}s_k + n_{1,k},~~~~for~~k=1,2,ldots,M label{relaySignal} end{equation} where $n_{1,k}sim {cal N}_c(0,sigma_{n1}^2)$ is a circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian noise added by the transmitter-to-relay channel, $h_{1,k}$ denotes the transmitter-to-relay channel, and

    Figure shows the intersection of line joining the camera center and image points ${\bf x}$ and ${\bf x'}$ which will be the 3D point ${\bf X}$.\\ \end{figure} The ‘gold standard’ reconstruction algorithm minimizes the sum of squared errors between the measured and predicted image positions of the 3D point in all views in which it is visible, i.e.\\ \begin{equation} {\bf X=\textrm{arg min} \sum_{i} ||x_i-\hat{x_i}(P_i,X)||^2} \end{equation} Where ${\bf x_i}$ and ${\bf \hat{x_i}(P_i,X)}$ are the measured and predicted image positions in view $i$ under the assumption that image coordinate measurement noise is Gaussian-distributed, this approach gives the maximum likelihood solution for ${\bf X}$.

    Using the data provided in each one of these tests it can be assumed that one has done the steps to be able to determine the magnitude and orientation of the charges of the tape in each test, thus, allowing them to apply the same principle to any object they so desired. Their results would line up with the following; that if the two pieces of tape are torn from the same 40 centimeter strip then the tops of both pieces of tape would be positive and the bottoms of both pieces of tape would be negative and that if they would double the tape the attraction or repulsion in general would lower due to the increased density. Their data would also show that two pieces of tape ripped from each other would result in one piece being entirely positive and the other being entirely negative, they would also be able to state that the orientation of how the tape is paired up doesn’t matter.

    The Wittig reaction is valuable reaction. It has unique properties that allows for a carbon=carbon double bond to form from where a C=O double bond used to be located. Creating additional C=C double bonds is valuable due to its use in synthesis. The Wittig reaction will allow the synthesis of Stilbene (E and Z) from a Benzaldehyde (Ketcha, 141).
