This review seeks to summarize the recent developments in the synthesis, structural characterization, properties, and applications in the ®elds of amorphous, bulk amorphous, and nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials. Conventional physical metallurgical approaches to improving soft ferromagnetic properties have relied on the optimization of chemical and microstructural features. Within the las...

X-ray Diffraction: A Practical Approach, C. Suryanarayana and M. Grant Norton, 1998. Plenum Press, New York and London. xiii + 273 pages. (hardback, $49.50, U.S. and Canada; $59.40, elsewhere).It is the aim of this text to teach undergraduates majoring in materials science the use of powder X-ray diffraction for materials characterization. Since it does not treat X-ray diffraction and crystallo...

A literature review of studies and researches has been attempted in the field of dissimilar metal welding. Dissimilar metal welds have numerous industrial applications in area of thermal power generation, chemical, petrochemical, automobile, aerospace industries and nuclear plants etc. The purpose of this paper is to review: (a) Dissimilar metal welds, their Metallurgical and Mechanical aspects...

Within the framework of the European Metrological Research Program (EMRP) IND04 MetroMetal 'Ionizing radiation metrology for the metallurgical industry', joint research carried out by 14 metrological institutions from countries within the European Union and the company ENVINET, questions concerning the determination of radioactivity in samples relevant to the metallurgical industry were resolve...

the estimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features is the ultimate goal of a machine vision based control system. in this study, a batch flotation system was operated under different process conditions and metallurgical parameters and froth image data were determined simultaneously. algorithms have been developed for measuring textural and physical froth ...
