Resistencia al desgaste abrasivo de recubrimientos producidos por proyección térmica para aplicaciones navales
No full textEl presente trabajo estudia la resistencia al desgaste abrasivo de dos tipos de recubrimientos a base níquel. El primero, Metaceram 23075 con agregados cerámicos de carburo de tungsteno y cobalto WC/Co y el segundo, Nitec 10224 con adiciones de hierro, boro y silicio; aplicados sobre los sustratos de fundición gris y bronce fosforado, mediante la técnica de proyección térmica a la llama. En la primera etapa se muestra la construcción y puesta a punto del equipo para ensayos de desgaste abrasivo con arena seca y rueda de caucho, según norma ASTM G-65. Allí se describen los componentes del equipo, de los cuales algunos fueron adquiridos comercialmente y otros fueron construidos. Enseguida se realizó la calibración de variables como diámetro y dureza del recubrimiento de caucho, tamaño de grano, humedad y flujo del abrasivo, velocidad del motor y fuerza ejercida sobre la probeta. En la segunda etapa se depositaron los recubrimientos Metaceram y Nitec sobre los dos sustratos preparados superficialmente por los tres métodos: granalla, arena y pulido; y se les realizó un análisis morfológico y microestructural. En la tercera etapa se validó el funcionamiento del equipo según procedimiento B de la norma en mención, realizando los ensayos de desgaste abrasivo, sobre los dos sustratos y los dos recubrimientos, presentándose repetitividad en los resultados para cada material. Posteriormente fueron aplicados métodos estadísticos para determinar el coeficiente de variación, el cual estuvo por debajo del límite máximo permitido en la norma (6%). Finalmente se efectuó el análisis de las huellas de desgaste obtenidas por microscopía electrónica de barrido y por Microscopía Laser Confocal. Los resultados mostraron que para los dos recubrimientos aplicados sobre la fundición gris se obtuvo una capa homogénea y con buena adherencia, mientras que para el caso del sustrato en bronce, se presentó desprendimiento de la capa y una adherencia muy pobre. La mayor resistencia al desgaste abrasivo se obtuvo con el Metaceram depositado sobre la fundición gris y el mecanismo de desgaste para este revestimiento fue una combinación de microarado, microfatiga y microagrietamiento. Para el Nitec, el mecanismo fue mucho más agresivo, presentándose el microarado y microcorte.Abstract: This work studies the abrasive wear resistance of two types of nickel-based coatings. The first ceramic aggregate Metaceram 23075 with tungsten carbide and cobalt, WC / Co and the second additions Nitec 10224 with iron, boron and silicon; applied on the substrates of cast iron and phosphor bronze, using the technique of thermal flame spraying. In the first phase the construction and startup of equipment for abrasive wear tests with dry sand rubber wheel is shown, according to ASTM G-65. There the Parts, some of which were purchased commercially and others were constructed are described. Then the calibration variable as the diameter and hardness of the rubber coating, particle size, moisture and abrasive flow, engine speed and force applied to the probe was performed. In the second phase, Nitec and Metaceram coatings on both substrates surface prepared by the three methods were deposited: grit, sand and polish; and its a morphological and microstructural was studied. Below the operation of the equipment was validated according to procedure B of the standard references, performing on the two substrates and the two coatings, abrasive wear testing repeatability presenting the results for each material. They were then applied statistical methods to determine the coefficient of variation, which was under maximum limit allowed in the standard (6%). Finally, the analysis of scars wear obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Confocal Laser Microscopy was performed. The results showed that for both coatings on the cast iron and a homogeneous layer with good adherence was obtained, while for the case of the bronze substrate, release layer and showed low adhesion. Most abrasive wear resistance was obtained with Metaceram deposited on gray cast iron and wear mechanism for this coating was a combination of plowing, microfatigue, and microcracking. For Nitec, the mechanism was much more aggressive presenting plowing and cutting.Maestrí
Afinidades e estranhamentos epistemológicos entre as filosofias de C. S. Peirce e de B.F. Skinner
No full textArtigos teóricos na área da filosofia da análise do comportamento apontam que a maneira mediante a qual os estudos comparativos entre o behaviorismo radical e o pragmatismo vêm sendo feitos produziram semelhanças superficiais, devido à falta de uma compreensão integral dos sistemas desses autores. Ao mesmo tempo, alguns teóricos da análise do comportamento afirmam a existência de semelhanças relevantes e pouco exploradas entre as filosofias de Peirce e Skinner. O objetivo deste trabalho foi buscar uma compreensão da epistemologia peirceana, integrada em seu sistema filosófico, de maneira a possibilitar uma comparação entre seus conceitos e os do behaviorismo radical.Foi escolhida a obra de Skinner do período de 1980 a 1990, que apresenta o pensamento desse autor nos últimos anos de sua produção. De Peirce, foi escolhida a obra “Chance Love and Logic”, que era a única obra de Peirce que se encontrava no acervo pessoal de Skinner, de acordo com a sua autobiografia “The Shaping of a Behaviorist”. Essa obra cobre 30 anos de produção de Peirce, o que permite pensar que é representativa de seu pensamento. Foram definidas cinco categorias de análise que guiaram a leitura do material: conhecimento, concepções de verdade, psicologia e comportamento, lógica e ciência. Os resultados obtidos apontaram grandes diferenças entre os dois autores. Em primeiro lugar, apresentam diferentes tipos de selecionismo, sendo que Skinner apresenta a seleção por consequências, e Peirce, um selecionismo associacionista. No selecionismo de Peirce não parece haver influência de consequências na definição das classes de fenômenos, o que é uma divergência fundamental entre Peirce e Skinner. Outra diferença diz respeito à concepção de realidade e verdade. Para Peirce, a ciência tem como tarefa chegar à opinião verdadeira, que corresponde à realidade e é reconhecida por ser uma regra efetiva de ação. Para Skinner, a ciência deve procurar ser efetiva, mas esse autor não trata de realidades ou verdades. A ocorrência dessas divergências, que acontece em relação às cinco categorias de análise, parece corresponder ao interesse na aplicação dos conhecimentos científicos para a resolução de problemas sociais, que estava mais presente em Skinner do que em Peirce. Os resultados revelaram uma posição diferente da dos autores que têm tratado do tema na literatura. Esse resultado aponta para a importância de um estudo subsequente, que leve em conta mais aspectos de cada sistema para fortalecer os presentes achadosSome theoretical papers in the field of the philosophy of behavior analysis make the case that superficial afinities were being found between radical behaviorism and other philosophies due to lack of an integrated understanding of the sistems being compared. At the same time, some philosophers in behavior analysis were afirming the existence of relevant similarities between the philosophies of Peirce and Skinner that hadn’t been duly explored. The objective of this work was to produce a comprehension of Peirce’s epistemology integrated in its philosophical system, to facilitate a comparison between its concepts and those of radical behaviorismo. The material used to study Skinner’s philosophy were some papers between the period of 1980 to 1990 that were considered to be mainly about his theoretical and philosophical inclinations. We believe this restriction does not limit greatly the value of this work, given that our interest was not to analise the whole of Skinner’s thought. The material used to study Peirce’s philosophy was the book “Chance Love and Logic”, mainly because it was the only book by Peirce owned by Skinner, according to Skinner’s autobiography “The Shaping of a Behaviorist”. That work covers about thirty years of Peirce’s production, which allows us to consider it representative of his system. We defined five categories of analysis that guided the reading of the material: knowledge, conceptions of truth, psychology and behavior, logic and science. The results obtained pointed to great diferences between the authors. Firstly, They present diferent kinds of selectionism, Skinner presented selection by consequences, and Peirce presents a selectionism that is associacionistic. In Peirce’s selectionism there is no influence of consequences in the definition of classes of events produced by selection, and so we have a fundamental divergence between Peirce and Skinner. Another difference shows itself concerning the conceptions of truth and reality. To Peirce, science has the incumbence of reaching true opinion, an opinion that corresponds with reality and is recognized for being an effective rule of action. To Skinner science must lead to effective action, but is not concerned with truth or reality. The ocurrence of such diferences across the five categories seems to be related to the interest each author has in the aplication of scientific knowledge to the resolution of social issues, which was more presente in Skinner. These findings revealed a difference from what other authors in literature were saying. This however only points to the importance of further studies that takes into account more aspects of each system to corroborate the findings here presente
