PURPOSE To introduce novel acquisition and postprocessing approaches for susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) to remove background field inhomogeneity artifacts in both magnitude and phase data. METHODS The proposed method acquires three echoes in a three-dimensional gradient echo (GRE) sequence, with a field compensation gradient (z-shim gradient) applied to the third echo. The artifacts in...

Oxide film properties and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour are investigated in the 308L stainless steel cladding layer with without being H-charged a deaerated high temperature water. Phase boundary (PB) has lower oxidation resistance than austenite ?-ferrite matrix. A compact Cr content-bearing inner oxide improves of phase H charging. H-induced PB penetration grain (GB) preferential ...

An implicit finite element model was developed to analyze the deformation behavior of low carbon steel during phase transformation. The finite element model was coupled hierarchically with a phase field model that could simulate the kinetics and micro-structural evolution during the austenite-to-ferrite transformation of low carbon steel. Thermo-elastic-plastic constitutive equations for each p...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ph on the synthesis of nanocrystallines cobalt ferrite by combination of sol- gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation methods. two different fuels, urea and thiourea, along with metal nitrates (oxidant) were used to prepare cofe2o4 powders. the morphology of the resulting powders was investigated. the powders were characterized by x-r...

In the present research, the effect of the homogenization process and annealing temperature were investigated for the 1.4470 ferritic-austenitic stainless steel in the as-cast condition. In this regard, microstructural evolutions, hardness, and impact energy of the steel was evaluated with different heat treatment conditions. The results show that the minimum volume fraction of austenite phase ...

In the present study, new multi-components spinel ferrite Zinc doped metallic ferrites are investigated. The synthesized compounds consisting of Zinc copper ferrite nanostructures were developed using the Co-precipitation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) confirms the formation of the spinel phase for all the samples. The lattice constant was studied through powder X-ray diffrac...

In this research nano particles of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) were synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion route. The effect of water and ethylene glycol solvents were studied on phase constituents, magnetic properties and microstructure of the bismuth ferrite by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. XRD resul...
