Kan mjölk skydda mot gropfrätning på processutrustning av rostfritt stål och hur kan man testa det? Tetra Pak säljer högspecialiserad processutrustning till livsmedelsproducenter och utrustningen är ofta tillverkad av rostfritt stål. Stålet motstår många typer av rost, men gropfrätning är en typ av korrosion som påverkar stålet vid framför allt höga temperaturer och höga salthalter. Dessa förutsäThis master’s thesis is written for Tetra Pak with the aim to investigate if pitting corrosion inhibition can be detected for Stainless Steel 316L in contact with dairy products in an experimental setup. The aim was also to continue developing a corrosion test method to facilitate for material selection of food pro- cessing equipment in order to reduce the extent of detrimental pitting corrosion.

Detection of tool wear is critical in optimizing tool change strategies and cutting parameter selection to influence productivity, cost, and quality in metal cutting. Nonetheless, current practices for tool wear detection majorly depend on manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming visual inspection by operators. Tool wear detection has the potential to greatly benefit from recent advances in artifi

Vår galax, Vintergatan, är en något större än normalt, stavspiralgalax. Som en sådan stor galax har den förmågan att rymma enorma massor av interstellärt medium (ISM), inklusive gas som utkastas från stjärnor när de exploderar till supernovor i slutet av sina liv. I denna explosion kastas tyngre element som producerats i stjärnan genom fusion ut. När denna process fortsätter och ISM fylls mer och In this study, over 2000 Milky Way stars were analyzed in the [Mg/Mn] vs [Al/Fe] chemical plane to identify accreted stars. The Milky Way's faster star formation enriches disk stars with iron-peak elements such as Mn and reduces alpha elements like Mg. Accreted stars, originating from slower star formation rate environments, exhibit lower metallicities, reflected in lower [Al/Fe]. The study ev

In an era dominated by digital interfaces, our desire to reintegrate tactile and physical elements into our daily interactions has intensified. By acknowledging the resurgence of vinyl records and the persistent rise of physical music formats, our project seeks to recapture the ritual of music listening that has been lost in the digital age. Our design reflects a conscious effort to create a funct
