A Fe-34.5 wt % Mn-0.04 wt % C ultra-high Mn steel with a fully recrystallised fine-grained structure was produced by cold rolling and subsequent annealing. The steel exhibited excellent cryogenic temperature properties with enhanced work hardening rate, high tensile strength, and high uniform elongation. In order to capture the unique mechanical behaviour, a constitutive model within finite str...

The Mn to Cr mass ratio in supernova ejecta has recently been proposed as a tracer of Type Ia SN progenitor metallicity. We review the advantages and problems of this observable quantity, and discuss them in the framework of the Tycho Supernova Remnant. The fluxes of the Mn and Cr Kα lines in the X-ray spectra of Tycho observed by the Suzaku satellite suggests a progenitors of supersolar metall...

In the 14th Five Year Plan, China clearly proposes to develop automobile strategic industry, reduce carbon emission intensity, and formulates peak plan by 2030. As is most frequently used vehicle, weight reduction can achieve purpose of energy-saving help emissions as soon possible. The lightweight steel research hotspot in future, has attracted much attention manufacturing industry. Fe-Mn-Al-C...

Single crystals of garnet-type trimanganese(II) dichrom-i-um(III) tris-[orthogermanate(IV)], Mn(II) (3)Cr(III) (2)(GeO(4))(3), were obtained by utilizing a chemical transport reaction. Corres-ponding to the mineral garnet with the general formula A(II) (3)B(III) (2)(SiO(4))(3), each of the four elements occupies only one crystallographically distinct position. Mn(2+) occupies the respective A p...

Impacts of metals to the growth and enzyme production of fungi were tested with Cd(0-10 mg kg–1), Co(0-100 mg kg–1), Cr(0-100 mg kg–1), Li(0-100 mg kg–1) or Mn(0-400 mg kg–1) containing media with ABTS [2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbentzthiazoline6-sulfonicacid)] as indicator of oxidative enzymes, laccase and/ or peroxidases. All ascomycetes Alternaria sp., Chaetomium sp., Epicoccum sp., Fusarium sp....

During the period 1997-1998, macroalgae, sea snail, mussel, fish and sediment samples were collected at different stations of the Turkish Black Sea coast in order to establish the concentration of selected heavy metals. Heavy metals analyzed were Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Zn, Fe, Mn, Pb and Cu. The results showed that the Turkish Black Sea coast is facing heavy metal pollution. The metal concentrations i...

Abstract The oxide evolution during the solidification of 316L stainless steel from additive manufacturing powders with different oxygen contents is studied by in situ observation melting and powder materials, advanced characterization solidified non-equilibrium thermodynamic analysis. An map established for contents. It reveals relationship between surface oxidation reused its expected species...

Wrought and additively manufactured (AM) 316 L stainless steel samples were exposed to a simulated Brayton cycle supercritical CO2 (sCO2) environment, at temperature of 450 °C pressure 76 bar in 99.999% for 2 weeks. The ground surfaces wrought AM specimens had average oxide thickness 95 51 µm, respectively, composed primarily Fe Cr oxides. An as-printed sample was also the sCO2 environment exhi...

Concentrations of the elements Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, N, Ni, P, Pb, and Zn were measured in needles and bark of Taxus baccata from the urban environment of Wrocław, Poland, and from a control site relatively free from pollution. In Wrocław the concentrations of N, P, K, and Mg in needles were significantly higher than in bark, but concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu Fe, Ni, and Zn were...

Antarctica is often considered as one of the last pristine regions, but it could be affected by pollution at global and local scale. Concentrations of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb were determinated by ICP-MS in feathers (n = 207 individuals) of gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguin collected in 8 locations throughout the Antarctic Peninsula (2006-2007). The highest levels of sev...
