Legumes, especially beans are considered an important and inexpensive source of protein, dietaiy fiber, vitamins, essential minerals (Fe, Zn, Ca, etc) and bioactive compounds such as folates, saponins, and phenolics, in many developed and developing countries. In addition, beans are very low in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated fatty acids but rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic a...

Ni-20 wt pct Cr wires, as individual wires or within 3D woven structures, are alloyed with Mo, Al, and Ti by gas-phase surface deposition and volume interdiffusion. Mo deposition creates Mo-rich coating and Kirkendall pores. Al+Ti co-deposition creates uniform triple-layered coating. The resulting homogenized and aged Ni-(17.4-19.6)Cr-(1.6-1.8)Al-(2.5-3.6)Ti-(1.54.5)Mo(wt pct) wires exhibit c+ ...

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have attracted increasing concerns because of their widespread use and toxic potential. In this study, Zn accumulations in different tissues (gills, liver, muscle, and gut) of goldfish (Carassius auratus) after exposure to ZnO NPs were studied in comparison with bulk ZnO and Zn(2+). And the technique of subcellular partitioning was firstly used on the liver of...

While lean Mg–Zn–Ca alloys are promising materials for temporary implants, questions remain on the impact of Zn and Ca microstructure. In this context, precipitation in Mg-1.5Zn-0.25Ca (in wt.%), initially extruded at 330°C, towards Mg–Ca binary precipitates or Ca–Mg–Zn ternary was probed a multiscale correlative approach using atom probe tomography (APT) analytical transmission electron micros...

Electrodeposited zinc and zinc-alloy coatings have been extensively used in a wide variety of applications such as transport, automotive, marine, aerospace owing to their good corrosion resistance the potential be economically competitive. As consequence, these become industry choice for many protect carbon low alloy steels against degradation upon exposure different corrosive environments indu...

In the hot dip galvanizing process, steel products are immersed in a liquid zinc bath. The contact of with causes corrosion as result Fe dissolution processes liquid. If process is carried out controlled manner, it results formation coating. Uncontrolled leads to degradation surface. This article presents research into influence Bi and Sn additions baths on zinc. Corrosion tests were under cond...
