This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel alloy in the form of parts produced by laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) that are subjected to post-deposition hot isostatic press (HIP), solution and precipitation heat treated (H1025) condition. The application is for parts typically requiring corrosion resistance and high strength up to 600 °F (316 °C) with good ductility and strength, but usage is not limited to such applications.

The horizontal exhaust in trucks is preferred over the vertical exhaust stack since the cost of production is lower than that of the vertical stack. The horizontal exhaust also comes with lower fuel costs since the overall drag coefficient is lower than that of the vertical stack. However, since a horizontal exhaust exits into the underbody, it is essential to minimize the exit temperatures of the exhaust to keep component temperatures within design limits. In this study, a shape optimization is executed for the exhaust tip geometry to reduce exhaust exit temperatures while maintaining exhaust pressure by employing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) workflow, using the geometry and morphing tool PowerDELTA®, coupled simulation approach between PowerFLOW® the flow solver and PowerTHERM® the thermal solver and Isight® for executing the optimization objectives. A good correlation is observed with experimental data for the baseline truck design.
This Technical Specification defines the standard test method to assess the operating mechanical endurance of a set of connectors without electrical load.
Natural fibers are increasingly being used to reinforce glass fiber composites rather than synthetic fibers because of their increased tensile strength, despite some inherent disadvantages. With the help of the structural analysis program ANSYS, three different combinations were thoroughly analyzed with an eye toward factors like total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent stress in order to determine the best combination. The composite specimen exhibiting the best performance qualities was chosen for further manufacturing. A fracture load of 8.93 kN and a tensile strength of 81.46 MPa were obtained from tensile strength tests and Charpy impact tests performed on samples made from the composite. The impact test, which produced a value of 14 J using a 15 kg pendulum, also shed light on the ability to absorb energy during fracture. These results indicate that the composite material has qualities that make it a good choice for dashboards and panels for automobiles.
