International Journal of Computational Materials Science and Surface Engineering (IJCMSSE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Selection of Lime-Based Repair Mortars for Heritage Structures using MCDM Techniques: A Comprehensive Study   Order a copy of this article
    by Nikhil Kumar Degloorkar, Rathish Kumar Pancharathi 
    Abstract: The study examined use of lime-based mortars for repair of heritage structures. The twelve criteria considered for the study were compressive strength, transverse strength, salt crystallization resistance cycles, shrinkage, alkali resistance, water absorption, porosity, capillary absorption, energy consumption, total emission, environmental load, and bulk density. Two types of hydrated limes (Lime-I and Lime-II) with replacements of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) or fly ash from 0 to 75% were used for the preparation of lime-based mortars with binder to aggregate weight proportions of 1:3 and 1:1. Experimental data was collected based on the criteria and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to establish their weightages. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) analysis was performed using TOPSIS, PROMETHEE-II, VIKOR, and ELECTRE methods. The results of the analysis showed that Lime-II based 1:1 mortar with 66% replacement of lime with GGBS was the most promising lime-based mortar for repair of heritage structures.
    Keywords: Heritage Structures; Lime Mortars; TOPSIS; PROMETHEE-II; VIKOR; ELECTRE.

  • Prediction of C/Cr amount and mechanical properties of high chromium cast iron using thermal analysis technique   Order a copy of this article
    by Yang Wan, Jia Gu, Ruoyu Chen, Han Ye 
    Abstract: The detection of C and Cr elements in the production process of high chromium cast iron mainly uses spectrometer. These instruments are expensive and have a long detection time. In this study, the relationship between the characteristic values of the cooling curve and the chemical composition and mechanical properties of high-chromium cast iron with a C amount range of 3.63-3.94% and a Cr amount range of 15.17-26.64% was investigated. The mathematical regression formulas for predicting C/Cr amount and mechanical properties were established by SPSS software. The results show that the mathematical regression formula between C amount and temperature characteristic value is , and the maximum value of the prediction error of this equation is 0.05%. For sub-eutectic high chromium cast iron.
    Keywords: Thermal analysis; High Chrome Cast Iron; characteristic values of the cooling curve; C and Cr amount prediction; mathematical regression formula.
