Following a proper heat treatment, the alloy system Al–Mg–Zn shows a great wealth of precipitate particles forming coherent (η′ crystals) and incoherent (η crystals) boundaries with the Al matrix. Both the matrix crystal and the precipitate crystals are holohedral, as their point groups correspond to their metric symm…

CeO2-based materials doped with rare earth (TR +3) can be used as alternative to traditional NiO-YSZ anodes in solid oxide fuel cells as they have higher ionic conductivity and lower ohmic losses compared to YSZ. Moreover, they allow fuel cell operation at lower temperatures (500-800°C). In the anode composition, the…

Abstract Mg-doped high-In-content In x Ga1− x N (x ∼ 0.35) thin films were grown on a c-face sapphire substrate using an MBE apparatus having dual RF nitrogen plasma cells. The films showed p-type conduction under certain cell temperatures of Mg. The p-type conduction was confirmed by electrolyte-based capacitance–vol…

Pipelines can be dented, but shallow dents with depths less than 2% of the pipe diameter have only recently begun to be reported reliably by high resolution in-line geometry inspections. Most thin-walled onshore pipelines around the world are found to contain these shallow dents, many on welds of unknown toughness, or…

Current line-pipe steels have significantly higher Charpy upper-shelf energy than older steels. Many newer line-pipe steels have Charpy upper-shelf energy in the 300 to 500J range, while older line-pipe steels (pre-1970) had values between 30 and 60J. With this increased Charpy energy comes two different and important…
