Abstract A computer‐based method is described for the determination of the interfacial tension between pendant and sessile drops in a surrounding continuous phase. This has been used to determine the effect on interfacial tension of increasing amounts of aliphatic alcohols, from methanol up to n‐octanol, equilibrated…

Low cycle fatigue properties of zirconium and zircaloy-4 were investigated at RT and 400°C. The microscopic structure was determined using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques. On the basis of analyses of fatigue damage mechanism, it is believed that fatigue is an irreversible e…

An algorithm was developed in which galvanostatic regulation of electrochemical impedance measurements is conducted with an amplitude of current perturbation that is adjusted at each frequency to yield a desired variation in potential. Measurements of three previous frequencies are used to estimate the value of the im…

Chromium based ODS alloys are being discussed as interconnector materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC's). One of the major requirements for the interconnect material is sufficient corrosion resistance in the anode and cathode side gases at the operating temperature of around 950°C. In the present study the corrosi…

High speed steel is a very difficult materialfor shape casting owing to the formation of eutectic carbide networks during its solidification. These networks cause the steel to be brittle which is detrimental to the mechanical properties of tools manufactured from the material. In the present research, the effect of re…
