Investigations of nanofluid based quenchant on the behaviour of mild steel and EN8 steel

Abstract

Steel is considered to be the backbone for industrial applications. Even after two centuries of extensive research and all-pervasive applications of steel in every walk of life, fresh perspectives in Steel newlineResearch open many avenues of innovations day in and day out. Such newlinerenewed interest in the field of steel applications has led the research newlinecommunity to explore methods and mechanisms to enhance the properties of newlinesteel for a wide gamut of industrial and domestic application. Modern newlineresearchers embrace analytical thinking from chemistry, physics and newlineengineering to address the ever-increasing demands in the field of material newlinescience. The most pressing scientific problems encountered by the mankind newlineare attributed to the limits of available materials and their applications. This newlinenecessitated a breakthrough in the study of metals and how they are likely to newlineshape the future of technology significantly. Such scientific breakthroughs newlinehave eliminated heat treatment of steel through conventional fluids like water newlineand oil. These conventional fluid mediums are found to have limited heat newlinetransfer capabilities. The need for identifying new kinds of fluids with enhanced newlineheat transfer capabilities has set the diverse research community across the newlineworld to explore fresh possibilities. The advances in nanotechnology have newlinemade it imperative to manufacture metals and metal oxide particles on nano newlinedimensional scale. Nano particles hold fresh promises of potential applications in the field of heat transfer. newline newline
