Austenitic stainless steels are extensively used in various applications requiring good corrosion resistance and formability. In the current study, the formation of nano/ ultrafine grained austenitic microstructure in a microalloyed AISI 304L stainless steel was investigated by the advanced thermomechanical process of reversion of strain-induced martensite. For this purpose, samples were subjec...

BACKGROUND Digital maps are instrumental in conveying information about environmental hazards geographically. For laypersons, computer-based maps can serve as tools to promote environmental health literacy about invisible traffic-related air pollution and ultrafine particles. Concentrations of these pollutants are higher near major roadways and increasingly linked to adverse health effects. Int...

The purpose of this work is to establish the theoretical foundations for calculating and designing the sublimationcondensation processes in chemical apparatuses which are intended for production of ultrafine powders of crystalline and amorphous materials with controlled fractional composition. Theoretic analysis of the primary processes of nucleation and growth kinetics of the clusters accordin...

the development of nano/ultrafine bainitic structure in aisi 52100 steel was the goal of this study. for this purpose,the aisi 52100 the specimens were austenitized at 1050 °c for 60 min followed by low-temperature austemperingtreatment at different temperatures and times. the austempered samples were characterized using field emissionscanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd...

Zero-valent zinc metal has been employed for the reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated ethylenes. In order to enhance this environmental remediation chemistry, ultrafine zinc particles and transition metal additives (coatings) have been employed. Indeed, activated zinc (cryozinc) significantly enhanced the reduction/dehalogenation process, especially in the presence of nickel and palladium co...

Ultrafine polydivinylbenzene nanofiber composites are obtained by adding a small amount of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles during polymerization. Through ultrasonic disruption and magnetic separation, we can obtain purified ultrafine nanofibers without nanoparticles.

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) nanostructured materials having grain sizes of tens and hundreds of nanometers recently have aroused interest among researchers in the materials science field. With respect to their mechanical properties, one would hope to be able to obtain the extremely strong states that can be expected in the case of strong grain refinement according to the Hall-Petch relationship (Gl...

The outstading mechanical properties of bimodal ultrafine eutectic composites (BUECs) containing length scale hierarchy in eutectic structure were demonstrated by using AFM observation of surface topography with quantitative height measurements and were interpreted in light of the details of the deformation mechanisms by three different interface modes. It is possible to develop a novel strain ...
