Assessment and prediction of the shrinkage sustained in fired clay materials has been carried out based on multi-factors such as bulk density, drying temperature and evaporating surface area. The clay materials were prepared using different grain sizes; <100μm, 100- 300μm, 300-1000 μm and their respective mixtures. The derived model. S = [ exp(eγ + 1.2 x 10-7 ϑ - 0.0002θ )]0.8929 indicates that shrinkage is dependent on the resultant bulk density of the clay body following firing at a temperature of 12000C, the drying temperature and the evaporating surface area.. The validity of the model is ischolar_mained on the core model expression. ln [S1.12 ] = eγ + 1.2 x 10-7 ϑ - 0.0002θ where both sides of the expression are correspondingly approximately equal to 4. The maximum deviation of the model-predicted shrinkage from the corresponding experimental values is 11% which is within the acceptable range of deviation limit for experimental results. The evaluated standard error incurred in predicting shrinkage for each values of the bulk density considered as obtained from experiment and derived model are 0.1370 and 0.0189% respectively.Keywords

αModels have been derived for assessing and predicting the heat affected zone hardness of aluminum weldment cooled in groundnut oil in relation to the respective and combined values of HAZ hardness of mild steel and cast iron welded and cooled under the same conditions have been derived. The derived single models; β = 0.4478ϒ, β = 0.8031α, and ϒ = 1.7934α as well as general model; β = 1.2509[(ϒα/ϒ + α)] were found to predict the HAZ hardness of aluminum weldment cooled in groundnut oil as a function of the HAZ hardness of mild steel or cast iron welded and cooled under the same conditions. The maximum deviation of the model-predicted HAZ hardness values β, ϒ and α from the corresponding experimental values βexp, γexp and αexp was less 0.02% indicating the reliability and validity of the model.Keywords

Computation of aluminum weldment heat affected zone hardness (HAZH) equivalent based on HAZH of mild steel and cast iron weldment similarly cooled in water. The general model, ϒ = 0.6090√(αβ) is dependent on the hardness of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in mild steel and cast iron weldments cooled in same media. Furthermore, rearrangement of these models could be done to evaluate the HAZ hardness of mild steel or cast iron respectively as in the case of aluminum. The respective deviations of the model-predicted HAZ hardness values β, ϒ and α from the corresponding experimental values was less 0.02% indicating the reliability and validity of the model.Keywords
