The tubulization process of amorphous carbon nanopillars was observed in situ by transmis-sion electron microscopy. Amorphous carbon nanopillars were transformed into graphitic tubules by annealing at 650-900 degrees C in the presence of iron nanoparticles. A molten catalyst nanoparticle penetrated an amorphous carbon nanopillar, dissolving it, and leaving a graphite track behind. An iron nanop...

Superplastic deformation and high temperature load relaxation behavior of coarse-grained iron aluminides with the composition of Fe-28 at.% Al have been investigated. A series of load relaxation and tensile tests were conducted at temperatures ranging from 600 to 850C. The flow curves obtained from load relaxation tests were found to have a sigmoidal shape and to exhibit stress vs. strain rate ...

Functionalization of colloidal particles based on the use of polyelectrolytes and heterocoagulation was combined with electrophoretic deposition (EPD), with the aim of depositing titania-polystyrene (TiO(2)-PS) composite particles on Ti6Al4V substrates. The composite particles were obtained by heterocoagulation of TiO(2) nanoparticles on the surface of monosized polystyrene beads of 4.6 microm ...

This paper is a continuation of the project we presented at the 2010 Santa Fe Symposium® in which we defined a characterization system and analysis of data on 18K gold alloys. The research carried out since then has enabled us to connect the physical-mechanical characteristics of each alloy with its chemical composition, thereby identifying the best solution possible to produce a specific item....

Hyphal budding bacteria were observed by electron microscopy in thin sections of surface material from Baltic Sea ferromanganese concretions. Similar bacteria were also observed in and isolated from enrichment cultures prepared from the same concretion material. Three morphologically similar strains of Mn-Fe-depositing budding bacteria were isolated from the enrichment cultures. Strain B-4 poss...

The Mossbauer effect in the 100-keV 2+ ~ 0+ transition in W182 was observed with dilute t~ngsten in iron alloy absorbers with concentrations from 0.5-5.0 at.%W at 4.2°K. From the Zeeman spectra In external longitudinal magnetic fields, the g factor of the first excited 2+ state was found to be O.~2±0.O~, and the hyperfine field at tungsten nuclei in iron was found to be -708±25 kOe. The hyperfi...

This study reveals the characteristics of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) made by blanking (a) 20HX1300 high grade low-iron-loss silicon steel (0.20mm thickness) and (b) 2605SA1 amorphous alloy (0.025mm thickness). The is an innovative technology for mass production efficiency amorphous-alloy-motor. impact processing methods on magnetic properties are evaluated using ring cores processed foll...

Medium-pore (diameter ~ 6A) zeolites such as ZSM-5 and silicalite impregnated with Group VIII metals provide selective catalytic pathways for the conversion of synthesis gas to gasoline or olefins. Mössbauer and magnetic studies on these catalysts containing iron or iron plus cobalt are reported. The zeolites were impregnated with metal nitrate solutions, reduced, and carbided to yield showed F...

Neutron-diffraction measurements have been used to 'determine the temperature and composition dependences of the ordered single crystals of Pt-Fe alloys containing 32, 30.5 and 28 at% of iron. A qualitative model for the complex antiferromagnetic ordering in the system based on the experimental data and band structure calculations has been proposed. The ordered Pt-Fe alloys with more than 36 at...

The connecting rod is one of the most important moving components in an internal combustion engine. present work determined possibility using aluminium alloy 7075 material to design and manufacture a for weight optimisation without losing strength rod. It considered modal thermal analyses investigate suitability design. parameters that were under analysis were: total deformation, natural freque...
