This multi-layer program has examined the oxidation resistance of Al-rich coatings made by chemical vapor deposition and pack cementation on ferritic-martensitic (e.g. T91, Fe-9Cr-1Mo) and austenitic (Type 304L, Fe-18Cr-8Ni) substrates at 650°-800°C. The main goal of this work was to demonstrate the potential benefits and problems with alumina-forming coatings. To evaluate their performance, ox...

The growth kinetics of ferrite during intercritical annealing steel has been investigated using in situ high energy X-ray diffraction with a specially designed furnace allowing highly quantitative measurements phase volume fractions. Kinetics have obtained at 730?C, 750?C and 775?C different ternary Fe-C-X (where X : Mn, Ni, Mo Cr) alloys quaternary Fe-C-1Mn-1Cr (wt.%) alloy. results were compa...

The goal of the present work is the design of a material that may act as a robust and low cost biosorbent fortreatment of wastewater with low concentration of metals ions, such as chromium and iron. The removal ofmetallic ions from binary aqueous solutions of Fe(III)/Cr(III) and Fe(III)/Cr(VI), by an Arthrobacter viscosusbiofilm supported on NaY zeolite was investigated. Experiments...
