Knowledge about the microstructure and properties of the individual components of concrete have a relationship that is useful for controlling the behavior of concrete.
Sea water or water quality is not a factor affecting corrosion in concrete but corrosion is a factor that affects the permeability of concrete and the lack concrete cover [1].
Thus the sea water does not affect the formation of CSH.

Among these materials, brass, primarily composed of copper and zinc (CuZn), stands out for its advantageous properties.
This degradation leads to diminished mechanical properties thus making it unsafe [3].
Mechanical Properties of Brass.
The presence of chloride ions in the solution has a more significant impact on the corrosion of brass compared to other factors like bending angle and temperature.
In conclusion, increasing the chloride ion concentration has the most potent effect on brass corrosion compared to other factors.

Therefore, in order to seek solutions to eliminate or reduce such an effect, it is essential to provide for the occurrence of this effect during the design of microstructure and mechanical properties by correlating the material.
The BH steel is essentially a result of a static strain aging process caused by the diffusion of carbon present in the ink applied in oven at 170° C, which affects the mechanical properties through three mechanisms: the migration of carbon atoms between the possible sets of interstitial sites, this tension-induced migration, the carbon segregation by disagreements, and carbides precipitation.
Tests of mechanical conformation.
Results and discussion With respect to mechanical properties, their values, shown in Table I, were obtained by tensile tests, extracting the specimens in a transverse direction at 45 degrees to the lamination direction of the material.
Mechanical properties of the bake hardening (BH) and interstitial free (IF) steels.

Aero-engine alloys (also as known as superalloys)are known as difficult-to-machine materials, especially at higher cutting speeds, due to their several inherent properties such as low thermal conductivity and their high reactivity with cutting tool materials.
The machinability index can be significantly affected by the propertiesof the material being machined, properties and geometry of the cutting tool, cutting conditions employed and other miscellaneous factors such as rigidity of the machine tool, cutting environment, etc.
The wide spread use of jet engine has increased demand for materials that have excellent high temperature mechanical and chemical properties relative to steels and stainless steel alloys originally employed in jet engine applications.
The mechanical and physical properties of workpiece material and tool material are also presented in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.
In the machining processes, chip deformation, material constitutive relationships, and tool-chip friction are coupled together and affected each other.

ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES OF REINFORCING STEEL BARS: CASE STUDY OFCOLLAPSED BUILDING IN LAGOS, NIGERIA Odusote Jamiu Kolawole1, a Adeleke Adekunle Akanni2, b 1, 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria.
For all these demands, safeguiding of lives and properties is very pertinent, and thus building collapses during and after construction must be avoided [2].
These and many other unreported cases resulted in lost of many lives and properties worth millions of Naira [8, 11, 12].
In a previous study, reinforcing steel bars from most of the Nigerian steel industries have been found to be suitable for construction work due to their higher mechanical properties than the standards, Alabi and Onyeyi [13].

The main factor examined in the process of welding duplex steel is the shielding gas and his effect on weld joint properties.
Duplex stainless steels are valued mainly due for their combination of mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance.
Welding speed and focus height (distance of laser beam focus from material surface, positive if over the surface) were selected as factors, while the laser power was kept constant at 4 kW.
It can be assumed that these results could lead to desired mechanical properties as well as corrosion resistance.

The increasing hydration level has an effect on various physical properties of hydrated biomolecules.
The zeta potential of an implanted material is an index of the electric properties of its surface [67].
Surface roughness, surface features characteristics (size, geometry, distribution) and surface energy are three factors that depend on each other, and they all interact and affect the reaction of the surrounding environment.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to alter one surface property without affecting the others and it is also difficult to distinguish which modification is responsible for each tissue reactions.
It can be concluded surface modifications can alter more than one of surface properties and those changes affect the subsequent reactions of the surface with the surrounding environment.

The fibre orientation angles were considered to be control factors.
Desired mechanical properties can be achieved with the help of hybrid composite materials.

Li [10] proposed that the temporal variable can be explicitly introduced in the mechanical damage evolution law (in terms of damage rate).
Mazzotti [12] proposed to model non-linear creep strain by introducing a stress rate reduction factor as a function of the damage variable in the solidification model [13].
In this model, a scalar mechanical damage variable is associated to the mechanical degradation process of concrete induced by the development of microcracks.
In the case of a severe accident in a nuclear power plant, basic creep will be affected by elevated temperatures and damage.
