“…Where, K is the corrosion rate, gm/(cm².hour); M i and M f is the initial and final mass of a piece of iron in grams; A is the area of iron sample in cm² and T is the period of iron sample immersion in solution in hours [11]. Specimen was collected from the tank top shell with a dimension of 6 ×8.5×15 mm 3 and merged at 100 cubic centimeters of toluene (C 7 H 8 ). Specimen was weighted every month for six months.…”

“…1, January 2020 42 between welding electrode strength and the affected stresses had not been included during this research. Yanga, et al [3] used the finite element method to investigate the mechanical behavior of Al/Al-Mg composites for the design of tank cars under actual measuring loads. They used of Aluminum/Aluminum-Magnesium (Al/Al-Mg) alloys to form laminated composites to solve the problems associated with the low corrosion resistance and strength of tank car bodies.…”

“…Previous studies of finite element analysis of tensile tests cannot be considered as conclusive because it had not been included a welding finite element simulation. Cirimelloa, et al [4] have investigated a 2000 m 3 washer tank at a crude oil treatment plant suffered a structural collapse, involving total loss of integrity. Due to the large initial leakage flow, the containment enclosure wall could not hold the spilled mixture of water and crude oil.…”

In case of liquid storage tank has been designed regardless of international standards and there is little interest with its operating conditions, it may lead to fully or partially failure. This paper has studied a failure of Toluene storage tanks with different capacities. Toluene is a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon C 7 H 8 which is toxic, flammable and may cause boiled liquid expanded vapor explosions (BLEVE). Failure analysis was performed to determine the root causes of toluene storage tank failure as well as corrosion influence. Axisymmetric finite Element analysis (FEA) was performed for fillet welding of tank roof and top shell zone to develop a relation between weld electrode size and tank diameter at each type of weld electrode to determine the main framework of roof to top shell welding process. Also, to develop a relation between tank diameter and maximum stresses that resulted at every amount of vapor pressure according to maximum von-Mises stress theory. The optimum roof to top shell welding size is obtained through the circumference welding path. The results of analysis allowed us to redesign the tank according to API 650 and to express the recommendations for toluene storage tanks operation.

“…The stress-strain behaviour of aluminium and aluminium-magnesium laminated composites was investigated to simulate a tensile test. The work examined the corrosion property and strength of the composites, and fatigue failure was also addressed [2]. An Al alloy having silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) sand was investigated for its dry-sliding tribological behaviour using a three-pin-on-disc wear tester and an SAE steel counterface.…”

This research focuses on a comprehensive exploration of the experimental and mechanical aspects of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, specifically targeting the machining characteristics of AA2014/Si3N4/Mg/cenosphere hybrid composites. The aim is to optimize the process parameters for enhanced machining performance through a combination of testing, optimization, and modelling methodologies. The study examines the effects of key EDM variables—peak current, pulse on time, and pulse off time—on critical output responses: surface roughness (Ra), electrode wear rate (EWR), and material removal rate (MRR). Leveraging an L9 Taguchi orthogonal array experimental design, the impact of controllable factors on these responses is analysed. An integrated approach utilizing MATLAB’s logic toolbox and Mamdani’s technique is employed to model the EDM process, and a multiple-response performance index is calculated using fuzzy logic theory, enabling multiobjective optimizations. Furthermore, a mechanical behaviour evaluation of AA2014/Si3N4/Mg/cenosphere hybrid composites is performed through mechanical testing, with a comparison between experimental machining results and predicted values. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images reveal the presence of filler reinforcements within the base alloy, displaying an improved microstructure and uniform reinforcement dispersion. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the major elemental constituents—aluminium, silicon, and magnesium—in the hybrid composites. A microstructural analysis of the hybrid metal matrix composites (MMCs) prepared for EDM showcases closely packed reinforcement structures, circular ash-coloured spots indicating silicon and nitrates, and a fine dispersion of cenosphere reinforcement particles. The study’s outcomes demonstrate a promising application potential for these hybrid composites in various fields.
