Thus making the research work a reliable source of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Brazing alloys used for brazing the components of gas turbines and aerospace applications contain nickel as the base material. Nickel has highest affinity for oxygen. Incase if components are brazed using nickel as based filter material in air or atmosphere the braze joint will porous and braze strength is not achievable. To avoid the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An escalator is a moving staircase conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building. The device consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks, allowing the step treads to remain horizontal. Escalators are used around the world to move pedestrian traffic in places... Continue Reading

By definition, penetrant testing (PT) is the resurgence of a liquid (or a gas) from a discontinuity in which it had previously been introduced during a penetration operation. A logical extension of the visual examination, this method makes it possible to detect discontinuities opened to the surface of the controlled part in the form of colored or... Continue Reading

The fast growing and developing population of the world is so busy that instant food noodles are gaining ground for both humans and domestic animals. Incidentally, the machines involved in the production of these food noddle extruders are imported which results in the depletion of our foreign exchange reserve. Consequently, there is a growing need... Continue Reading
