In this work, different interlayer remelting strategies are applied to regulate the microstructure evolution, martensitic transformation, and superelastic features of NiTi shape memory alloys prepared using EBF3 additive manufacturing technique. The deposits under beam currents all composed B2 austenite, residual B19? martensite, submicron-scale Ti4Ni2Ox precipitates, exhibit a one-step phase t...

Abstract Using the HF Doppler sounders at middle and low latitudes (Prague, Czech Republic; Tucuman, Argentina; Zhongli, Republic of China, Sugadaira, Japan), we observed electric fields geomagnetic sudden commencement (SC) propagating near-instantaneously (within 10 s) over globe.
