The Pristine survey - XXI. Exploring the metal-poor boundary with ESPaDoNS

In this paper, we study high-resolution spectra of 19 stars that have metallicity estimates below -3.5 using at least two metallicity-sensitive photometric indices based on Pristine photometry. The purpose is to understand what kind of stars populate this ...

Strong silicon oxide inclusions in iron

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Alejandra Inés Slagter, Joris Pierre Everaerts

Oxide inclusions are ubiquitous in steel and are known to affect, generally in a negative sense, the mechanical performance of steel products. Micromechanical properties of those phases are therefore important, yet they have remained largely unexplored. We ...

Microstructure Selection in Laser Remelted Fe-C-Si Alloys

Wilfried Kurz, Philippe Gilgien

Laser surface remelting at various velocities has been employed to study the selection of microstructures of high-purity Fe-C-Si alloys containing nominally 3.2 to 4.2 wt.% C and 1 to 3 wt.% Si. The microstructure of the remelted region consisted of metast ...

Factors affecting the reactivity of slag at early and late ages

Karen Scrivener, Yosra Briki, Mohsen Ben Haha

This study investigates the difference between the reactivity of slag in NaOH solution (w/s = 100) and in cement paste (w/b = 0.4). The reactivity of slag is much higher in NaOH solution than in cement paste. When the NaOH solution is saturated with portla ...

Evaluation of Total Reactive Oxide Ratios and Working Solution Ratios on Strength Development in Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers

Fly ash-based geopolymers are being developed as sustainable alternate binders for producing concrete. The consistent production of a stable geopolymeric binder suitable for use in structural applications from alkaline activation of low-calcium fly ash was ...

Hydrogen-sieving single-layer graphene membranes obtained by crystallographic and morphological optimization of catalytic copper foil

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li

Gas separation membranes based on single-layer-graphene are highly attractive because the size of graphene nanopores can be tuned to separate gases by the size-sieving mechanism. A prerequisite for this, the synthesis of high-quality polycrystalline single ...

Maximizing the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in blended cements

Yosra Briki

Partial replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is an effective approach to reduce CO2 emissions related to cement production. However, there is a maximum substitution level with SCMs beyond which strength decreases. The und ...

Revisiting the concept of extents for chemical reaction systems using an enthalpy balance

Dominique Bonvin, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

For the investigation of complex reaction systems, it has been proposed to decouple the various rate processes using a linear time-invariant transformation that is constructed from knowledge of stoichiometry, reaction enthalpies, inlet compositions and tem ...

Tuning the Incorporation of Magnesium into Calcite during Its Crystallization from Additive-Free Aqueous Solution

Esther Amstad, Camelia Borca, Huachuan Du

Under ambient conditions, marine organisms are able to synthesize a variety of functional materials, ranging from eye lenses to protective shells through the meticulous control over magnesium incorporation into calcite during its crystallization. The mecha ...

Analysis of High Temperature Degradation of Alloys in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Manuel Bianco

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are approaching commercialization to improve power production efficiency. Currently, cost and lifetime reliability limit their spread in the market. The SOFC is ceramic-based, but refractory metal alloys are in fact the major ...
