Verificação da adição de cinza leve no composto ferro-cobre-grafite para fabricação de anéis de selos mecânicos pelo processo de metalurgia do pó convencional

O presente trabalho possui como objetivo analisar as propriedades do composto que apresenta em sua composição Fe-Cu-C com adição da cinza leve em percentuais de 4,8% classificado como composto A; 9,8% classificado como composto B; e 14.8% classificado como composto C, processados por metalurgia do pó convencional. Outro objetivo foi analisar o percentual desses compostos e compará-los a liga Fe-Cu-C, classificado como composto Sem Cinza (SC), que não apresenta cinza em sua composição. O composto que não apresenta cinza é utilizado na fabricação de anéis de selos mecânicos. Buscou-se nesse trabalho a melhor condição de cinza em balanço como sendo uma possível alternativa na fabricação desses componentes. A cinza leve foi adicionada ao composto SC já citado (Fe-Cu-C). O carbono presente no composto sem cinza, que tem por finalidade apresentar uma melhor condição de lubrificação nos anéis de selos mecânicos, foi mantido e balanceado junto aos três novos que apresentaram a adição de cinza. Foi analisada no microscópio eletrônico de varredura a distribuição dos elementos ferro, cobre, grafite e cinza leve após a sinterização. Já o tamanho das partículas dos constituintes dos compostos, foram analisados ainda em estado pulvurulento. Determinou-se a massa específica aparente, a curva de compressibilidade e foram compactadas as amostras dos compostos Fe-Cu-C com e sem cinza. Foi realizada a sinterização em atmosfera controlada por argônio em temperatura de 1150ºC com taxa de resfriamento constante. Para a análise da eficiência da mistura, foram realizados ensaios de densidade das amostras sinterizadas, dureza, microdureza e metalografia. Ensaio de micrografia, Dispersão de Energia por Espectroscopia (EDS), ensaio de desgaste pelo método tribológico, análise perfilométrica 2D e 3D e análise dimensional (variações de altura e diâmetro). Foi realizada também a análise da resistividade elétrica dos compostos balanceados com cinza e sem cinza. Para mensurar a possibilidade do uso dos compostos com cinza foram avaliados os resultados obtidos e comparados com os resultados do composto Fe-Cu-C sem adição de cinza. Os resultados indicaram a possiblidade do emprego do composto A (4,8% de cinza) para fabricação de anéis de selo mecânico.This work aims to analyze the properties of the compound having in its composition Fe-Cu-C with the addition of fly ash in 4,8% percentage classified as compound A, 9,8% classified as compound B, and 14,8% classified as compound C, processed by conventional powder metallurgy. Another objective was to analyze the percentage of these compounds and compare them to Fe-Cu-C, classified as compound No fly ash (SC), which has no gray in their composition. The compound that has no ash is used in the manufacture of mechanical seals rings. We sought in this work the best condition of gray balance as a possible alternative in the manufacture of these components. The fly ash was added to the compound SC (Fe-Cu-C). The addition of carbon in the compounds was to reduce the friction in process compression. Was examined in a scanning electron microscope the distribution of the elements iron, copper, graphite, and fly ash after sintering. The size of the compounds particles were analyzed in powdery state. It was determined the apparent density, compressibility curve of the compounds Fe-Cu-C and Fe-Cu-C with fly ash. Sintering was performed in a controlled atmosphere with argon at a temperature of 1150 ° C with a constant rate of cooling. To analyze the efficiency of mixing of test samples of sintered density, hardness, hardness and metallography were performed. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), tribological wear test method, analysis perfilométrica 2D and 3D dimensional analysis (variations in height and diameter). Analysis of the electrical resistivity of the compounds with and without fly ash was also performed. To measure the possible use of the compounds with fly ash, results were evaluated and compared with results of the compound Fe-Cu-C without adding ash. The results indicated the possibility of employment of compound A (4,8% ash) for the manufacture of mechanical seal rings

Search for CPCP violation in D0^0→\to KS0^0_\mathrm{S}KS0^0_\mathrm{S} decays in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

International audienceA search is reported for charge-parity D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$$CP$ violation in D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ decays, using data collected in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment in 2018. The analysis uses a dedicated data set that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6 fb$^{-1}$, which consists of about 10 billion events containing a pair of ẖadrons, nearly all of which decay to charm hadrons. The flavor of the neutral D meson is determined by the pion charge in the reconstructed decays D$^{*+}$$\to$ D$^0\pi^+$ and D$^{*-}$$\to$ D$^0\pi^-$. The D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$$CP$ asymmetry in D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ is measured to be $A_{CP}$( K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$) = (6.2 $\pm$ 3.0 $\pm$ 0.2 $\pm$ 0.8)%, where the three uncertainties represent the statistical uncertainty, the systematic uncertainty, and the uncertainty in the measurement of the D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $CP$ asymmetry in the D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}\pi^+\pi^-$ decay. This is the first D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $CP$ asymmetry measurement by CMS in the charm sector as well as the first to utilize a fully hadronic final state
