an artificial neural network (ann) model is developed for the analysis, simulation, and prediction of the austenite reversion in the thermo-mechanical treatment of 304l austenitic stainless steel. the results of the ann model are in good agreement with the experimental data. the model is used to predict an appropriate annealing condition for austenite reversion through the martensite to austeni...

A thin Pd-Ag alloy film, which will be applied to fabricate membranes for hydrogen separation, was successfully deposited using an electroplating technique. The plating solution for the formation of a thin Ag-rich Ag-Pd film for electric contact consisted of PdCl2, AgNO3, HBr, and HNO2. An improvement of the electrolytic bath was achieved by a pH control, which was kept constant at 6.6 and by t...
