Abstract In an extensive study the role of the alloying elements in commercial alloys for corrosion resistance was studied in air without and with 0.1 and 2 vol.% Cl 2 , respectively. In the first part of this paper [1] the thermodynamic fundamentals were discussed on the basis of the new concept of the quasi‐stabilit…

A finite element simulation of stress evolution in thin metal film during electromigration is reported in this paper. The electromigration process is modeled by a coupled diffusion- mechanical partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDEs are implemented with a plane strain formulation and numerically solved with th…

Two variations of the liquid extrusion technique for pore structure analysis have been analyzed and results obtained using nonwoven materials have been discussed. Strengths and limitations of the techniques have been evaluated. The techniques can measure all the important pore characteristics of nonwovens without usin…

The influence of σphase on mechanical properties in type ER309L stainless steel has been investigated by small punch test. The SA508 cl.3 reactor pressure vessel steel plates were overlay-cladded with the type ER309L welding consumable with different heat input rates. The microstructure of the clad was composed of fcc…

Abstract An impinging‐jet crystallizer was investigated in this work to assess its operational sensitivity and reproducibility for the production of small, monodisperse crystals using calcium oxalate, a model system capable of forming multiple hydrates. The impinging‐jet mixer provides rapid mixing of the reactant sol…

Abstract The high‐pressure behavior of Si 2 N 2 O is studied for pressures up to 100 GPa using density functional theory calculations. The investigation of a manifold of hypothetical polymorphs leads us to propose two dense phases of Si 2 N 2 O, succeeding the orthorhombic ambient‐pressure polymorph at higher pressure…

Microbiologically influenced corrosion is responsible for most of the internal corrosion problems in oil transportation pipelines and storage tanks. One problematic area in treating gas lines is the occurrence of the stratification of water in the line. Under these conditions, corrosion inhibitors do not come into con…

α‐Al 2 O 3 powders with three‐dimensionally ordered or randomly positioned macropores were synthesized by templating with poly(methyl methacrylate) colloidal crystals. Aluminum nitrate was precipitated with ammonium hydroxide within the interstices of the template; calcination removed the polymer and converted the ino…

Extensive microstructural studies have been performed with respect to the formation of the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase and its relationship to other phases in Mg 95 Zn 4.2 Y 0.8 alloy. The icosahedral phase forms as an intergranular eutectic phase as well as precipitates in the matrix. The precipitates are nano…

Abstract Vortex spinning can be viewed as a refinement of jet spinning, or a natural development in fasciated yarn technology. As in all other fasciated yarns, the structure of vortex yarn consists of a core of parallel fibres held together by wrapper fibres. This has been revealed by examining an untwisted vortex yar…

Abstract An ab initio determination of the structure of sepiolite after acid treatment (HCl 0.5 N for 24 h) was carried out using X-ray powder diffraction data. After acid treatment, the sections normal to the a and c axes presented discontinuities, ∼2.25 Å wide, parallel to the (010) plane, with no electronic density…

The Thermotoga neapolitana xylose isomerase (TNXI) is extremely thermostable and optimally active at 95 degrees C. Its derivative, TNXI Val185Thr (V185T), is the most active type II xylose isomerase reported, with a catalytic efficiency of 25.1 s(-1) mM(-1) toward glucose at 80 degrees C (pH 7.0). To further optimize…

This paper reports the measurement of the thermal conductivity of particle-laden polymeric thermal interface materials for three different particle volume fractions. The experimental data are further compared with the percolation model and effective medium theory. We then introduce a method of obtaining the contact re…

Cobalt ferrite has been shown to be an excellent candidate material for high sensitivity magnetic stress sensors due to its large magnetomechanical effect and high sensitivity to strain. However, near room temperature, the material exhibits some magnetomechanical hysteresis, which becomes negligible for temperatures o…

The effect of ultraviolet light on the corrosion rates of different metals was studied in two separate investigations. Metal samples were immersed in a flowing fresh water discharge stream for either three or five months under both ultraviolet (UV) light and dark conditions. Weight-loss results demonstrated that pure…

Polystyrene, a polymer extensively used in the biomedical field, causes a problem for some applications because of its surface hydrophobicity. Nitrogen plasma could transform this shortage through polar group attachment. To understand the role of hydrogen during surface functionalization in the nitrogen cold plasma, t…

Abstract The flammability performance of PVC plays a significant role in its selection for many applications. Its relatively high chlorine content (56.8%) makes it more resistant to ignition and burning than most organic polymers. In the case of flexible PVC, the plasticizers that contribute flexibility in most instan…
