The new superaustenitic stainless steel UNS S32654 (Avesta Sheffield 654 SMO) is proposed for condenser tubes in desalination and power plants. A number of tests illustrating its corrosion resistance in a variety of chloride containing environments are being reviewed in terms of pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Relevant mechanical and physical properties are described. ...

The research progress surrounding second-phase particle-induced corrosion has been expounded through extensive work, including local (pitting corrosion, crevice stress corrosion) of Al2O3, (RE)-AlO3, CaS, MnS, NbC, and other particles in microalloyed high-strength rebars. By summarizing the mechanism these rebars, this review further explores fact that play an inducing role which guiding signif...

Abstract The potential for crevice corrosion of UNS30400 stainless steel in the presence sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) was studied different media. Immersion studies found to occur test media supplemented with high chloride levels and SRB present gaps ~3 μm. Electrochemical measurements showed susceptibility this particular medium, demonstrated by a negative shift open circuit potential, incr...

Spread chromatin fibers and isolated chromatin fragments prepared from chicken erythrocyte nuclei were stained with dilute aqueous uranyl acetate. High-resolution electron micrographs reveal two new morphological features exhibited by many of the chromatin nu bodies: (a) lateral association of the nu body with the connecting strand, and (b) a centrally stained spot approximately 15 A wide, poss...

The primary function of the immune system of the mouth is to protect the teeth, jaws, gingivae and oral mucosa against infection. These host defences vary in the different oral microenvironments or domains represented by the oral mucosa, saliva and gingival crevice. This review aims to consider and contrast the main immune components in each domain and cites examples of oral diseases where the ...
