Effect of energy input on microstructural features and mechanical properties of medium chromium ferritic stainless steel welds by Amuda, Muhammed Olawale Hakeem, Mridha, Shahjahan

“…Grain growth in the weld section can be up to 16 times the grain size of the base metal while the grain structure changed from columnar grains to equiaxed grains as the welding speed increases particularly between 2.5 and 3.5mm/s. The loss in mechanical property in the weld section is 20-56% of the base metal though the loss is more pronounced in welds made with energy input greater than 1576J/mm. …”

Beam tilting antenna using integrated metamaterial loading by Dadgarpour, Abdolmehdi, Zarghooni, Behnam, Virdee, Bal Singh, Denidni, Tayeb A.

“…The simulation and experimental results show that the main beam of the antenna in the E-plane is tilted by 17 degrees with respect to the end-fire direction at 7.3, 7.5, and 7.7 GHz. Results also show unlike conventional beam-tilting antennas, no gain drop is observed when the beam is tilted; in fact there is a gain enhancement of 2.73 dB compared to the original bow-tie antenna at 7.5 GHz. …”
