The S-layer of Caulobacter is a two-dimensional paracrystalline array on the cell surface composed of a single protein, RsaA. We have established conditions for preparation of stable, soluble protein and then efficient in vitro recrystallization of the purified protein. Efficient recrystallization and long range order could not be obtained with pure protein only, though it was apparent that cal...

A nano-hollow zeolite-encapsulating ultra-fine Fe nanoparticle catalyst denoted as Fe@n-hS-HT was successfully synthesized through a simple water steam treatment of the Fe@n-hS prepared by “dissolution–recrystallization” (D-R) method. The had hierarchical porous structure and high dispersion Fe2O3 particles with size 3.4 nm. Furthermore, results several characterization methods, such XRD, HAADF...

The objective of the paper is modeling of material softening after the deformation. The main problem of almost every model with digital material representation is consideration of recrystallization as the only mechanism of material softening. Static recovery is introduced into the model based on frontal cellular automata. An influence of static recovery on softening process is twofold. Static r...

Recrystallization is one of the most important physical phenomena in condensed matter that has been utilized for materials processing for thousands of years in human history. It is generally believed that recrystallization is thermally activated and a minimum temperature must be achieved for the necessary atomic mechanisms to occur. Here, using atomistic simulations, we report a new mechanism o...

A brief summary of simulation techniques for recrystallization is given. The limitations of the Potts model and the Cellular Automaton model as used in their standard forms for grain growth and recrystallization are noted. A new approach based on a hybrid of the Potts model (MC) and the Cellular Automaton (CA) model is proposed in order to obtain the desired limiting behavior for both curvature...

the hot compression tests were carried on x45crniw189 valve steel (x45) in the temperature rangeof 1000– 1200 °c and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperaturesoftening behavior of this steel. for the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effectivestrain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. on the basis of experimen...

A secondary recrystallization Lab study focusing on the secondary recrystallization temperature and magnetic properties was carried out on cold rolling industrial samples of 3%Si grain-oriented electrical steel produced by low slab reheating temperature technology. The results showed a secondary recrystallization temperature, determined by the observed grain size change, of 1080 C with annealin...

In this paper, how structure-sensitive parameters derived from the hysteresis loop, like coercive field, remanent induction, and hysteresis losses, can be used to characterise recovery and recrystallization in cold rolled Ti-Nb stabilised interstitial free ultra low carbon steel is shown. The effect on hysteresis measurements of isothermal annealing treatments applied to industrially cold rolle...

We have used medium energy ion scattering, temperature programmed desorption, and atomic force microscopy to study the interface composition and thermal stability of epitaxial strontium titanate thin films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on Si 001 . The composition of the interface between the film and the substrate was found to be very sensitive to the recrystallization temperature used during...

Sucrose recrystallization and the release of moisture that occurs as molecules of sugar are incorporated into a growing crystal lattice have been hypothesized as the cause of firming in soft cookies over time. Raffinose, a trisaccharide and known sucrose crystallization inhibitor, was tested as a means to inhibit or slow this process. Texture changes in the cookies were quantified using peak fo...
