Molten Pool Geometry of Solid Iron by Plasma Heating

Existence of an Erythropoitic labile iron pool

Sensing of Iron Ions by Solid Phase Spectrophotometry

A new sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron using a PVC membrane containing bathophenanthroline and dioctylphethalate as the solid phase extraction medium is investigated. Fe(II) in an aqueous sample solution is trapped on the membrane with an anion species, picrate ion and forms a complex with bathophenanthroline. The absorbance of the red-orange m...

Classification of molten pool modes in variable polarity plasma arc welding based on acoustic signature

The relationships between the acoustic signal and the modes of the welding pool such as no-keyhole (melt-in), keyhole and cutting in variable polarity plasma arc welding (VPPAW) are investigated. Welch power spectral density (PSD) estimate is used for preprocessing the sound data. A neural network (NN) is used to distinguish the keyhole mode from the cutting mode. The results show that the keyh...

Evaluation of Nitrogen Diffusion in Plasma Nitrided Iron by Various

   Diffusion of nitrogen in plasma nitrided iron and structural evolution during the nitriding process were evaluated by several characterization techniques including optical microscopy (OM), microhardness depth profiling (HDP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES), and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Plasma ni...

Lymphocyte labile iron pool, plasma iron, transferrin saturation and ferritin levels in colon cancer patients.

Patients with colorectal carcinoma showed statistically significant lower values of transferrin saturation, total iron binding capacity and serum iron level as compared with control group, while the level of ferritin and the size of labile iron pool in carcinoma patients were higher, although this difference was not statistically significant. Our observations are in favour of the hypothesis whi...
