  2. Pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_vessel

    The ASME definition of a pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. [2]The Australian and New Zealand standard "AS/NZS 1200:2000 Pressure equipment" defines a pressure vessel as a vessel subject to internal or external pressure, including connected components and accessories up to the connection to external ...

  3. Forging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forging

    Forging a nail. Valašské muzeum v přírodě, Czech Republic. Forging is one of the oldest known metalworking processes. [1] Traditionally, forging was performed by a smith using hammer and anvil, though introducing water power to the production and working of iron in the 12th century allowed the use of large trip hammers or power hammers that increased the amount and size of iron that could ...

  4. Thermomechanical processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermomechanical_processing

    Thermomechanical processing is a metallurgical process that combines mechanical or plastic deformation process like compression or forging, rolling, etc. with thermal processes like heat-treatment, water quenching, heating and cooling at various rates into a single process. [1]

  5. HY-80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HY-80

    Permit class USS Plunger on the building ways at Mare Island. HY-80 is a high-tensile, high yield strength, low alloy steel.It was developed for use in naval applications, specifically the development of pressure hulls for the US nuclear submarine program and is still currently used in many naval applications.

  6. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    where P 1 is the inlet pressure in psi, V is the flow velocity in ft/s, t is the valve closing time in seconds, and L is the upstream pipe length in feet. [29] Hence, we can say that the magnitude of the water hammer largely depends upon the time of closure, elastic components of pipe & fluid properties. [30]

  7. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Because the amount of water vapor in the air is small, relative humidity, the ratio of the partial pressure due to the water vapor to the saturated partial vapor pressure, is much more useful. Vapor pressure above 100% relative humidity is called supersaturated and can occur if the air is rapidly cooled, for example, by rising suddenly in an ...

  8. Flow stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_stress

    In materials science the flow stress, typically denoted as Y f (or ), is defined as the instantaneous value of stress required to continue plastically deforming a material - to keep it flowing.

  9. Squeeze casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_casting

    Squeeze casting is a casting method that combines die casting and forging. It starts with low-pressure casting, followed by the application of very high pressure as the material cools, producing a high-quality casting. [1] [2] This is often carried out using a hydraulic press as part of the casting apparatus. [3]
