Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are very promising materials for nuclear applications. In thispaper, the hot working behavior of ODS ferritic steels, consolidated by hot extrusion, is studied through torsion tests. Three ODS steels are produced ...
Using high-strength steels for pressure shafts and tunnel liners and taking into account significant rock mass participation allows the design of comparatively thin steel liners in hydropower projects. Nevertheless, during emptying of waterways, these stee ...
The air-free reaction between FeCl2 and H4dobdc (dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) in a mixt. of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol affords Fe2(dobdc)·4DMF, a metal-org. framework adopting the MOF-74 (or CPO-27) structure type. The deso ...
The influence of the carbon content on the microstructure, phase transformation and hardness of an iron-based cermet is studied. The cermet is constituted by a high-alloyed steel as matrix, and TiCN particles (50 vol.%) as reinforcement. The material is pr ...
Intergranular penetration of liquid 18 K gold into a superaustenitic stainless steel, which occurs during laser welding of these two materials, has been studied using a C-ring device which can be put under tensile stresses by a screw. It is shown that liqu ...
Mechanical, physical and manufacturing properties of cast iron make it attractive for many fields of application, such as cranks and cylinder holds. As in design of all metals, fatigue life prediction is an intrinsic part of the design process of structura ...
High solidification velocities, high temperature gradients and strong melt flow characterize the first moments of solidification in a continuous caster. The beginning of shell growth in the meniscus area is determined by the local heat flow, the strength o ...
Iron is an essential nutrient for virtually all forms of life. To overcome its extreme insolubility, many microbes synthesize and excrete powerful iron-selective chelating agents, so-called siderophores. Anachelin H (A) was recently isolated from the cyano ...
In this paper research work on welded butt weld connections between hot-rolled seamless tubes and steel castings are presented. Comparison is made between different weld preparations for the butt welds including different steel grades, repair methods, the ...
The quantification of nanoparticles, particularly superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), both in vitro and in vivo has become highly important in recent years. Some methods, such as induced coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy and UV-visible che ...
