In this paper, a computational method to predict the corrosion resistance of some sintered iron alloys subjected to a thermochemical treatment is analyzed. The proposed materials are obtained by powder metallurgy (P/M) route. The raw materials are prepared from atomized pre-alloyed iron base powders. The compacted samples were obtained by cold pressing using conventional route. The powders were compacted at a pressures of 400 and 600 MPa. After pressing, the green compacts were sintered in a laboratory furnace. Th...

Application of image processing recognition in the agricultural field is a difficult and intensive task. Recent years developments of technologies such as GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and the fast development of artificial intelligence algorithms allows the reliability of using computer vision technology to be used for recognition of plants, including weeds, ensuring the efficiency of intelligent agricultural systems. Computer vision technology uses a camera and a computer to identify and measure objects in th...

In this paper, a computational method to predict the dimensional changes in some powder metallurgy materials is used. The samples prepared from pre-alloyed iron base powders produced by atomization (< 45, 45-63, 63-100, 100-150, >150?m) were the materials analyzed in this paper. The analyzed powders were compressed in a mold using uniaxial pressing at 400 and 600 MPa with the disc dimensions of ? 8 ? 6 mm. The sintering temperature was approximately 1.150 °C for 60 and 90 minutes. The density in green and sintered...

In this paper, the artificial neural network (ANN) technique is used to predict the wear resistance e under dry sliding conditions of some iron-based powder metallurgy materials subjected to a thermochemical treatment. The analyzed specimens were obtained using the conventional powder metallurgy route: mixing the raw powders with 1% zinc stearate, cold compacting at a pressure of 400 MPa and sintering at a temperature of 1150°C for 60 minutes. Following the sintering step, the specimens were subjected to carburizi...
