Desarrollo e implementación de modelo de predicción en procesos de temple por inducción para un acero AISI-SAE 1043

La fabricación de los componentes automotrices engloba una gran cantidad de procesos de manufactura los cuales van desde el proceso de fundición del acero, forjados, mecanizados y tratamientos térmicos, entre otros. Estos procesos se llevan a cabo con el objetivo de lograr que el componente a fabricar cumpla con lo especificado y tenga un buen desempeño en su funcionalidad. La gran mayoría de los componentes son fabricados a partir de aceros aleados, aceros al carbono de baja y media aleación los cuales son posteriormente tratados térmicamente para mejorar sus propiedades mecánicas. Uno de los tratamientos térmicos más utilizados es el temple superficial, el cual tiene como objetivo principal endurecer la superficie del componente para mejorar su resistencia a la flexión, resistencia al desgaste, resistencia al impacto, entre otras propiedades mecánicas. La inducción electromagnética, o simplemente "inducción", es un método de calentamiento de materiales eléctricamente conductores tales como metales. Como su nombre implica, el calentamiento por inducción se basa en las corrientes eléctricas que son inducidas internamente en el material a calentar, es decir, la pieza de trabajo. La experimentación realizada durante este trabajo de tesis fue dividida en 2 etapas: • Proceso de temple por inducción actual (Técnica de escaneo). • Proceso de temple por inducción propuesto (Técnica calentamiento estático). Durante la etapa de experimentación del proceso de temple por inducción actual se llevó a cabo la validación de los resultados de temperatura superficial mediante la toma de video de una cámara termografía realizando un comparativo con los resultados de la simulación de calentamiento. Posteriormente se realizó la simulación del proceso de temple y transformación de fase martensita con su respectiva validación mediante corte y evaluación metalúrgica de muestra, además de la comparación de resultados de durezas obtenidos durante el proceso de temple y los resultados obtenidos en la simulación. La segunda etapa del proceso de temple por inducción fue llevada a cabo con la colaboración del personal del laboratorio de aplicaciones de GH Induction. Durante esta etapa se realizaron 2 propuestas de diseño de bobinas y se realizaron las pruebas de simulación así como las validaciones físicas y metalúrgicas. Previo a las pruebas se realizaron cálculos teóricos para establecer los parámetros iniciales del proceso mediante las gráficas de Lozinski. Los resultados obtenidos durante las etapas de este proyecto fueron satisfactorios. En la primer etapa se logró simular en 2D el proceso actual de temple por inducción obteniendo una aproximación cercana al 90% en los resultados de temperaturas, transformación de fase y dureza. Este modelo y los resultados obtenidos fueron utilizados como parámetros de entrada para la segunda etapa. Durante la segunda etapa los resultados obtenidos durante las simulaciones mostraron que el diseño de bobinas 1 no sería efectivo al momento de calentar la zona del diámetro interno, por lo cual se descartó la fabricación de estas bobinas. La propuesta número 2, incluyó el uso de concentradores de flujo magnético, los cuales colaboran a dirigir el campo magnético en zonas específicas. Los resultados obtenidos durante la simulación 3D de la propuesta 2 fueron satisfactorios por lo cual se decidió fabricar las bobinas y llevar a cabo las pruebas físicas. Los resultados finales obtenidos de transformación de fase comparados con las pruebas físicas tiene una aproximación de 90%. En conclusión, fue posible el desarrollo de un modelo para la simulación del proceso de calentamiento por inducción para componentes automotrices con geometría compleja. Como contribución principal esta modelación validó el diseño de bobinas con las cuales se logró obtener una disminución en el tiempo ciclo del proceso del husillo de 36.4% y un ahorro en la energía consumida de 22.3% medida en la unidad de kWsegundo.

Raman spectroscopic study of the antimonate mineral brandholzite Mg[Sb(OH)12].6H2O

Raman spectra of brandholzite Mg[Sb(OH)6].6H2O were studied, complemented with infrared spectra, and related to the structure of the mineral. An intense Raman sharp band at 618 cm-1 is attributed to the SbO symmetric stretching mode. The low intensity band at 730 cm-1 is ascribed to the SbO antisymmetric stretching vibration. Low intensity Raman bands were found at 503, 526 and 578 cm-1. Corresponding infrared bands were observed at 527, 600, 637, 693, 741 and 788 cm-1. Four Raman bands observed at 1043, 1092, 1160 and 1189 cm-1 and eight infrared bands at 963, 1027, 1055, 1075, 1108, 1128, 1156 and 1196 cm-1 are assigned to δ SbOH deformation modes. A complex pattern resulting from the overlapping band of the water and hydroxyl units is observed. Raman bands are observed at 3240, 3383, 3466, 3483 and 3552 cm-1, infrared bands at 3248, 3434 and 3565 cm-1. The first two Raman bands and the first infrared band are assigned to water stretching vibrations. The two higher wavenumber Raman bands observed at 3466 and 3552 cm-1 and two infrared bands at 3434 and 3565 cm-1 are assigned to the stretching vibrations of the hydroxyl units. Observed Raman and infrared bands are connected with O-H…O hydrogen bonds and their lengths 2.72, 2.79, 2.86, 2.88 and 3.0 Å (Raman) and 2.73, 2.83 and 3.07 Å (infrared).

Tesofensine : a novel potent weight loss medicine

Background: The incidence of obesity is increasing; this is of major concern, as obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, respiratory tract disease, and cancer. Objectives/methods: This evaluation is of a Phase II clinical trial with tesofensine in obese subjects. Results: After 26 weeks, tesofensine caused a significant weight loss, and may have a higher maximal ability to reduce weight than the presently available anti-obesity agents. However, tesofensine also increased blood pressure and heart rate, and may increase psychiatric disorders. Conclusions: It is encouraging that tesofensine 0.5 mg may cause almost double the weight loss observed with sibutramine or rimonabant. As tesofensine and sibutramine have similar pharmacological profiles, it would be of interest to compare the weight loss with tesofensine in a head-to-head clinical trial with sibutramine, to properly assess their comparative potency. Also, as teso fensine 0.5 mg increases heart rate, as well as increasing the incidence of adverse effects such as nausea, drug mouth, flatulence, insomnia, and depressed mode, its tolerability needs to be further evaluated in large Phase III clinical trials.

Raman spectroscopic study of the hydroxy-arsenate mineral geminite Cu(AsO3OH)•H2O

The mineral geminite, an hydrated hydroxy-arsenate mineral of formula Cu(AsO3OH)•H2O, has been studied by Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Two minerals from different origins were investigated and the spectra proved quite similar. In the Raman spectra of geminite, four bands are observed at 813, 843, 853 and 885 cm-1. The assignment of these bands is as follows: (a) The band at 853 cm-1 is assigned to the AsO43- ν1 symmetric stretching mode (b) the band at 885 cm-1 is assigned to the AsO3OH2- ν1 symmetric stretching mode (c) the band at 843 cm-1 is assigned to the AsO43- ν3 antisymmetric stretching mode (d) the band at 813 cm-1 is ascribed to the AsO3OH2- ν3 antisymmetric stretching mode. Two Raman bands at 333 and 345 cm-1 are attributed to the ν2 AsO4 3- bending mode and a set of higher wavenumber bands are assigned to the ν4 AsO43- bending mode. A very complex set of overlapping bands is observed in both the Raman and infrared spectra. Raman bands are observed at 2288, 2438, 2814, 3152, 3314, 3448 and 3521 cm-1. Two Raman bands at 2288 and 2438 cm-1 are ascribed to very strongly hydrogen bonded water. The broader Raman bands at 3152 and 3314 cm-1 may be assigned to adsorbed water and not so strongly hydrogen bonded water in the molecular structure of geminate. Two bands at 3448 and 3521 cm-1 are assigned to the OH stretching vibrations of the (AsO3OH)2- units. Raman spectroscopy identified Raman bands attributable to AsO43- and AsO3OH2- units.

Simulated visual impairment leads to cognitive slowing in older adults

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of different levels of simulated visual impairment on the cognitive test performance of older adults and to compare this with previous findings in younger adults. METHODS.: Cognitive performance was assessed in 30 visually normal, community-dwelling older adults (mean = 70.2 ± 3.9 years). Four standard cognitive tests were used including the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Trail Making Tests A and B, and the Stroop Color Word Test under three visual conditions: normal baseline vision and two levels of cataract simulating filters (Vistech), which were administered in a random order. Distance high-contrast visual acuity and Pelli-Robson letter contrast sensitivity were also assessed for all three visual conditions. RESULTS.: Simulated cataract significantly impaired performance across all cognitive test performance measures. In addition, the impact of simulated cataract was significantly greater in this older cohort than in a younger cohort previously investigated. Individual differences in contrast sensitivity better predicted cognitive test performance than did visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS.: Visual impairment can lead to slowing of cognitive performance in older adults; these effects are greater than those observed in younger participants. This has important implications for neuropsychological testing of older populations who have a high prevalence of cataract.

Fatalism and its implications for risky road use and receptiveness to safety messages : a qualitative investigation in Pakistan

Given the increasing vehicle numbers and expanding road construction in developing countries, the importance of safe road user behaviour is critical. Road traffic crashes (RTC) are a significant problem in Pakistan, however the factors that contribute to RTC in Pakistan are not well-researched. Fatalistic beliefs are a potential barrier to the enhancement of road safety, especially participation in health-promoting and injury prevention behaviours, and also contribute to risk-taking. Fatalistic beliefs relating to road safety have been found in some developing countries, although again research is scarce and indicates that the nature and extent of fatalism differs in each country. Qualitative research was undertaken with a range of drivers, religious orators, police and policy makers to explore associations between fatalism, risky road use and associated issues. Findings indicate that fatalistic beliefs are pervasive in Pakistan, are strongly linked with religion, present a likely barrier to road safety messages and contribute to risky road use. Fatalism appears to be a default attribution of RTC and the intensity of belief in fate surpasses the kinds of fatalism noted in the limited existing literature. These findings have importance to developing road safety countermeasures in countries where fatalistic beliefs are strong.

Minimization of railhead edge stresses through shape optimization

The railhead is severely stressed under the localized wheel contact patch close to the gaps in insulated rail joints. A modified railhead profile in the vicinity of the gapped joint, through a shape optimization model based on a coupled genetic algorithm and finite element method, effectively alters the contact zone and reduces the railhead edge stress concentration significantly. Two optimization methods, a grid search method and a genetic algorithm, were employed for this optimization problem. The optimal results from these two methods are discussed and, in particular, their suitability for the rail end stress minimization problem is studied. Through several numerical examples, the optimal profile is shown to be unaffected by either the magnitude or the contact position of the loaded wheel. The numerical results are validated through a large-scale experimental study.
