One Minute Mentor: Heat Transfer in a Fluidized Bed Furnace

One of the major attributes of the fluidized bed is the high rate at which heat can be transferred from the bed of particles to an immersed object. Coefficients of heat transfer on the order of 400 to 740 W/m2 · K (70 to 130 Btu/ft2 · h · °F) are possible. This heat flow […]

Effect of heat treatment on the properties of a high alloying maraging steel fabricated by laser metal deposition

Soochow University, China, successfully demonstrated a novel high alloying element maraging steel (HA-MS1) prepared by laser metal deposition (LMD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) phase transformation analysis on the as-deposited (AF) specimens was conducted and the reasonable aging heat treatment (AT) and solution + aging heat treatment (ST + AT) were subsequently proposed. These specimens were characterized by scanning electron […]
