The scope of this paper and presentation is to address the properties and benefits of the alkaline cyanide-free zinc deposit as a base coating for paint and powder coating applications. The deposition structure and process characteristics for alkaline cyanide-free zinc plating will be evaluated and compared to acid chloride zinc plating, zinc phosphating and iron phosphating. Salt spray testing...

BACKGROUND Iron absorption in humans is highly variable even after iron status and dietary components that influence iron absorption are controlled for. Inherited factors may help explain this variance. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare nonheme-iron absorption from a noninhibitory, stable-isotope-labeled test meal in preschool-aged children and their mothers. DESIGN We provided 72 test...

Spark plasma sintering technique is used for the fabrication of dense materials with a fine-grained microstructure. In this process, powder placed into graphite mold and uniaxial pressure applied by two punches. A foil inserted between punches to ensure good electrical, physical thermal contact. One major drawbacks during metal powders carburization in contact foils. study, PVD coating titanium...

Few studies have evaluated the impact of fortification with iron-rich foods such as amaranth grain and multi-micronutrient powder (MNP) containing low doses of highly bioavailable iron to control iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. We assessed the efficacy of maize porridge enriched with amaranth grain or MNP to reduce IDA in Kenyan preschool children. In a 16-wk intervention trial, child...

the reduction of fe2o3 powder at the top layer by the volatiles from high volatile (hv) bituminous coalat the bottom layer of a multilayer powder geometry including a separating alumina layer was studied.the simultaneous effects of the alumina layer thickness, time, temperature and the weight of coal onthe amount of reduction and coal devolatilization were studied by implementing a rotatable ce...

Nanocrystalline ~NC! ferrite powders have been synthesized using a 50 kW–3 MHz rf thermal plasma torch for high-frequency soft magnet applications. A mixed powder of Ni and Fe (Ni:Fe 51:2), a NiFe permalloy powder with additional Fe powder (Ni:Fe51:2), and a NiFe permalloy powder (Ni:Fe51:1) were used as precursors for synthesis. Airflow into the reactor chamber was the source of oxygen for oxi...

In recent years, the rolling densification process has become increasingly widely used to strengthen powder metallurgy parts. The original composition of the rolled powder metallurgy blank has a significant effect on the rolling densification technology. The present work investigated the effects of different carbon contents (0 wt. %, 0.2 wt. %, 0.45 wt. %, and 0.8 wt. %) on the rolling densific...

in this work, we report synthesis of surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spion) by co-precipitation method using feso4.7h2o and fe2(so4)3.5h2o as precursors and trisodium citrate dihydrate as surfactant. surface modification of the as prepared samples was performed in pot by sol-gel precipitation method using tetraethoxysilane (teos). the structure, morphology, and magn...
