Abstract Ferroalloys have become increasingly important due to their indispensable role in steelmaking. In addition, the demand for improved steel qualities has increased considerably, which turn highlights quality of ferroalloys. This is fact that impurities ferroalloys directly and significantly influence products. To gain a better understanding main trace elements inclusions (such as FeSi, F...

The microstructure of melt extracted Ti-44Al-8Nb-0.2W-0.2B-1.5Si fiber were investigated. When the rotation speed increased from 2000 to 2600 r/min, the appearance of the wire was uniform with no Rayleigh-wave default. The structure was mainly composed of fine α₂ (α) phase dendritic crystal and a second phase between dendrite arms and grain boundaries. The precipitated second phases were confir...

(Ti, Al)N/MoN and CrN/MoN multilayered films were synthesized on Si (100) surface by multi-cathodic arc ion plating system with various bilayer periods. The elemental composition and depth profiling of the films were investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) using 2.42 and 1.52 MeV Li2+ ion beams and different incident angles (0°, 15°, 37°, and 53°). The microstructures of (T...

The Ni-Ti-Si composite coatings were successfully fabricated on Ti6Al4V by laser cladding. The microstructure were studied by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and EDS (energy dispersive spectrometer). It has been found that Ti₂Ni and Ti₅Si₃ phases exist in all coatings, and some samples have TiSi₂ phases. Moreover, due to the existence of these phases, coatings presented relatively higher mic...

We present a comprehensive analysis of the damped Lyα abundance database presented in the first paper of this series. This database provides a homogeneous set of abundance measurements for many elements including Si, Cr, Ni, Zn, Fe, Al, S, Co, O, and Ar from 38 damped Lyα systems with zabs > 1.5. With little exception, these damped Lyα systems exhibit very similar relative abundances. There is ...

Silicon carbide-based fiber-bonded ceramics, obtained from hot pressing of woven silicon carbide fibers, are a cost-effective alternative to ceramic-matrix composites due their ease fabrication, involving few processing steps, and competitive thermomechanical properties. In this work, we studied the high-temperature strength thermal shock resistance Si-Al-C-O Si-Ti-C-O SiC ceramics two types ce...

In the Mekong River delta and its associated coastal zone trace elements concentrations (Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb) were measured in the dissolved phase (DP) during dry (March 1997) and wet (October 1997) seasons. As, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Al were also measured in suspended matter (SM) and total and organic carbon, trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) and macro elements in superficial sediment...

New methods of diffusion metallization AISI W1-7 steel have been developed. The paper proposes a comparative analysis the properties and characteristics after three chemical heat treatment: nitriding, nitrogen titration by physical deposition from gas phase, chromium plating with subsequent titanium alloys. results are presented as comprehensive coatings: metallographic, micro-X-ray spectral, X...

Primitive meteorites contain graphite spherules whose anomalous isotopic compositions indicate a stellar origin. The isolation of presolar graphite grains is difficult and they have been less well studied than presolar silicon carbide grains. While previous isotopic measurements have been made on graphite from the Murchison meteorite and mostly on low-density grains, a new separation of graphit...
