High purity aluminum.

Microstructure Evolution in High Purity Aluminum Single Crystal Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP)

Aluminum single crystal with 99.999% purity was deformed at room temperature by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) up to 16 passes. Grain size and misorientation of processed samples were quantitatively characterized by TEM and EBSD. The results show that the refinement efficiency of high purity aluminum single crystal was poor in the initial stage. Extrusion by fewer ECAP passes (n ≤ 8) res...

3D reconstruction of microstructure in a commercial purity aluminum

The topic of reconstruction of polycrystalline microstructures is briefly reviewed. An example is given of using orientation maps to reconstruct digital microstructures with a representation of a polycrystal structure that includes crystallographic orientation information. The method uses packing of ellipsoids to approximate the grain structure, coupled with Voronoi tessellation. For the exampl...

High purity amphotericin B.

OBJECTIVES Amphotericin B (AmB) is a drug of choice for treatment of disseminated fungal infections, but its use is often associated with severe adverse effects. Our observation that generic formulations of AmB contain multiple polyene components led us to propose that removal of other polyenes would yield a high purity AmB (AmBHP) with an improved therapeutic index. METHODS To test that prem...

Observation of recovery and recrystallization in high-purity aluminum measured with forward modeling analysis of high-energy diffraction microscopy

High-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy is a non-destructive materials characterization technique that is capable of tracking the evolution of three-dimensional microstructures as they respond to external stimuli. We present measurements of the annealing response of high-purity aluminum using the near-field variant of this technique. The data are analyzed with the forward modeling method which...
