    Abstract: Dolomite known as dolostone is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium, CaCO3. MgCO3. After calcite, it is the second most important and abundant of the carbonate minerals. This work aims at processing, investigation and characterization of four different Libyan raw dolomite samples via simple chemical method. Based on a previous geological sur... Show More

    Abstract: This research work addressed the mechanical and microstructural properties of welded joints. The results show the minimum average hardness values as 133.83, 102.13, 103.42, 95.15, 96.78 and 117.50 for various mini-robot welded mild steel plates of thickness 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm and 1.0 mm, while the maximum average hardness values...

    Abstract: Creep is one of the main engineering problems facing engineers dealing with high temperature components. These components have to be closely monitored, especially after serving 50% of their residual life. For many reason creep engineers has to use small material samples for creep assessments of these components. Many small creep test specimen types... Show More
