Little is known about the effect of stress on the development of microstructure in steel welds. This paper contains an assessment of published data together with a description of the theory that is available for dealing with stress–affected transformations in steels. Attention is focused on those transformations which have the greatest potential for interaction with an externally applied stress...

Nano-particles of polycrystalline Zn Fe2 O4 are prepared using sol-gel method with Ni, and Sm. They are obtained as dried gel after the successful chemical reaction of their respective metal nitrate solutions in the midst of citric acid as catalyst. Synthesis of materials is confirmed using XRD from the report of single phase polycrystalline ferrite material. The magnetic properties of Zn-ferri...

Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...

The magnetostatic surface waves (MSSW) propagation in a layered structure composed of ferrite film covered by air and on top of metamaterial (MTM) placed on metal is discussed. Dispersion equations which relate the parameters of different layers are derived and used to analyse propagation of MSSW. It is found that the MSSW excitation band depends on the thickness of the MTM layer and ferrite la...

Nano size nickel copper ferrite powders (NiCuFe2O4) have been prepared by a prepared by Co precipitation method. The resulting powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM).The result showed nanosize nickel copper ferrite(35.65nm). The powders showed extensive XRD line broadening and sizes of crystals observed from the XRD line broadening was35.65 nm,...

Nanostructured zinc-copper mixed ferrite was synthesized using sol-gel method. XRD patterns of different compositions of zinc-copper ferrite, Zn(1-x)Cu(x)Fe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), revealed single phase inverse spinel ferrite in all the samples synthesized. With increasing copper concentration, the crystallite size was found to be increased from 28 nm to 47 nm. The surface morphology of...

Strontium ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by a coprecipitation method, and reduced graphene oxide/strontium ferrite/polyaniline (R-GO/SF/PANI) ternary nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization method. The morphology, structure, and magnetic properties of the ternary nanocomposites were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-I...

Ferrites have always been a subject of great interest from point of view of magnetic application, since the fist compass to present date. In contrast, the scientific interest for iron based magnetic oxides decreased after Ørsted discovery as they where replaces by coil as magnetizing sources. Néel discovery of ferrimagnetism boosted again interest and leads to strong developments during two dec...

Recent work has shown that bainitic ferrite plates produced by transformation at low temperatures can be as thin as 20 nm with a hardness in excess of 650 HV30, tensile strengthy2.3 GPa and toughnessy30 MPa m. Because these properties rely on the fine scale of the microstructure, a study has been carried out in relation to the tempering resistance of steel over the temperature range 350 – 750uC...
