The oxidation behaviour of low alloyed steels, Fe‐0.6%Mn and Fe‐1.5%Mn, under different annealing conditions was studied. Due to the crucial importance of the surface state of the sample, the experiments were performed in an in‐situ device to avoid any contact with air after the annealings. The annealing experiments w…

The crystal structure of the manganite Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 is studied at temperature T=300 and 77.3 K by means of an x-ray diffractometer. It is shown that the transition from the ferromagnetic metallic state to the antiferromagnetic insulating charge-ordered state is accompanied by a lowering of the symmetry of the struct…

During the past few years, biomineralized manganese has been shown to cause ennoblement of various stainless steels to open circuit potentials of 300–400 mV/SCE. We have demonstrated that ennoblement, caused by biologically deposited manganese minerals, along with a relatively low stainless steel pitting potential, ca…
