Since the first laboratory experiments of M. Carey Lea and the original definition by F. W. Ostwald at the end of the 19th century, mechanochemistry, a field treating chemical changes induced in substances as a result of applied mechanical stress, has been evolved as an important area of chemistry from the viewpoint of both the fundamental research and applications (Takacs, 2004; Boldyrev & Tka...

early a million years ago, mankind’s technological march through time beN gan after fire was mastered. Metalworking, which evolved into metallurgy, is the oldest and most successful technology. It spans at least 12,000 years (Figure 1). Soldering, a key metal joining technology, was probably developed about 7,000 years ago when lower melting, naturally occurring metal alloys were placed in the ...

The Raynaud phenomenon is a clinical disorder, characterized by episodic attacks of vasospasm of peripheral arteries and arterioles, causing tissue ischemia of distal portions of the body, such as hands and feet, causing changes in skin color such as pallor, cyanosis and hyperemia. The occurrence of the Raynaud phenomenon in people who handle organic solvents or vibratory tools has been associa...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of alloying and rapid solidification processing in direct structural control in lead base batteries. A detailed investigation on rapid quenching of liquid lead base alloys for high performance storage battery applications was made in order to choose suitable lead grid alloys for lead acid batteries as melt-spun ribbons. So this paper provides a com...
