The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a Master's degree to researcher Hassan Hadi Hilal on Thursday, 19/12/2024, in the Graduate Studies Hall in Building B, for his thesis entitled"Improving the Mechanical Properties of the Mast by Heat Treatment".
The study aimed to enhance the wear resistance of low-carbon structural steel (St52-3), widely used in the framework of oil drilling rig masts. The experimental methodology involved applying a nickel-based powder coating to steel samples using the flame thermal spraying technique, in addition to performing heat treatment on separate samples to conduct a comparative evaluation of both methods. The findings demonstrated a substantial improvement in the surface properties of the coated samples, with surface hardness and mechanical wear resistance increasing by nearly threefold compared to the base alloy. This enhancement was attributed to the formation of intermetallic phases and compounds during the coating process, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Furthermore, microstructural examinations using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a coating layer with uniformly distributed, fine-grained particles. The study highlights the effectiveness of flame thermal spraying as a surface modification technique for improving the mechanical properties of St52-3 steel. These findings provide valuable insights into potential applications for structural components exposed to high wear conditions, particularly in oil drilling operations.
The discussion committee consisted of Assist. Prof. Dr. Jamal Jalal Daoud as chairman and the membership of each of Assist. Prof. Dr. Jabbar Hussein Mohammed, and Assist. Prof. Dr. Sura Salem Ahmed. The thesis was supervised by the Senior Chief Engineer Dr. Hussein Mohammed Yousef/Ministry of Industry - General Company for Steel Industries, Assist. Prof. Dr. Ahmed Omeid Zain Al-Abidin/Department of Materials Engineering. The thesis was also scientifically evaluated by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Faleh Hassan, Prof. Dr. Ali Munther Mustafa, and linguistically by Lect. Dr. Ali Abdul Karim Mohsen.

"Characterization of the Prepared Carbon Noanfibers CNFs as Biomaterials
Abstract:
The study aimed to fabricate modified carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using the electrospinning technique, followed by stabilization at 275°C and carbonization at 1000°C. The results revealed that the addition of CNTs reduced the shrinkage rate compared to conventional carbon nanofibers. FTIR and XRD analyses confirmed the effectiveness of the stabilization and carbonization processes. Furthermore, Raman analysis showed an improvement in graphitic crystallinity, with a decrease in the ID/IG ratio from 1.2 to 1.1. Additionally, the modified fibers exhibited a lower water contact angle, making them suitable for tissue engineering applications, along with enhanced electrical conductivity.

"Green Synthesis and Surface Modification of Nanoparticles for Wastewater Treatment"
Abstract
This study focused on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using two separate heating techniques—hotplate and microwaves—with turnip root extract as the reducing and stabilizing agent. Furthermore, the green synthesis of graphene foam using date syrup carbon source, combined with potassium chloride as a substrate. The foam was modified with the prepared silver nanoparticles to enhance heavy metal removal and antibacterial efficiency. Silver nanoparticles with an average size of 47.5 nm, confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), demonstrated stability via zeta potential analysis. The graphene foam's morphology and structure were characterized using SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Filtration tests by atomic absorption indicated high removal efficiencies for cadmium (68%) and lead (39%), with lower efficiencies for zinc (10%) and chromium (27%). The addition of silver nanoparticles improved removal efficiencies for Cd²⁺ (75%), Zn²⁺ (22%), and Cr²⁺ (33%). The antibacterial efficacy test showed a 100% bacterial-killing rate post-modification.

The Department of Materials Engineering held an awareness lecture entitled "The Role of Psychological Counseling on the Impact of Drugs on Society and Combating Social Stigma" on Tuesday, 11/12/2024 at noon in Hall 8. The lecture was given by Ms. Iman Kazim Hamza, in the presence of the Head of the Department, Prof. Dr. Jawad Kazim Aliwi, and many second-year students in the department. The lecture included identifying the threat of the spread of drugs to the life of the individual and society, as the health damage of drugs to the individual is reflected in his family and society as a whole, and it reaches the point of the emergence of social and economic problems. Drug addiction is the scourge of the age. The stigma surrounding addiction creates significant barriers to social integration, impeding access to job opportunities, stable housing, and supportive social networks. Moreover, internalizing societal stigma often leads to feelings of shame, guilt, and self-isolation among individuals suffering from drug use disorders. At the end of the lecture, the head of the department praised the distinguished efforts made in preparing and delivering the lecture and appreciated her efforts with a certificate of appreciation for the lecturer.

Abstract
This study aimed to creating a new innovative foot using composite filament by a 3D printer. Tensile and hardness tests were conducted on the prepared samples, in addition to fatigue, dorsiflexion and ground reaction force tests for the prosthetic foot and a comparison was made between the newly prosthetic-feet and the (SACH) foot. The results showed that a newly designed Prosthetic-Foot surpasses (SACH) foot in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness, longevity, dorsiflexion angle, stability, weight and comfort for the amputee.
