The roughness origin of machined surfaces is caused by the following physical causes: copying shape and cutting part tool into workpiece, existence vibration tool, build-up edge (BUE) on edge. current work aims to analyze amplitude tools. was observed hardened steel workpieces. Internal turning technology used, we used several different boring bars (steel; carbide; tuned mass damper—TMD; impact...

Carbide insertion plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of M-cluster, the cofactor of nitrogenase. Previously, we proposed a carbide insertion pathway involving methyltransfer from SAM to a FeS precursor and hydrogen abstraction from this methyl group that initiates the radical-based precursor maturation. Here we demonstrate that the methyl group is transferred to a precursor-associated sulf...

The discoveries of superconductivity in heavily boron-doped diamond, silicon and silicon carbide renewed the interest in the ground states of charge-carrier doped wide-gap semiconductors. Recently, aluminium doping in silicon carbide successfully yielded a metallic phase from which at high aluminium concentrations superconductivity emerges. Here, we present a specific-heat study on superconduct...

The p-accepting character of a terminal carbide complex acting as a ligand is demonstrated experimentally and corroborates earlier theoretical predictions. As a result, coordination of a terminal ruthenium carbide complex to electron-rich metal centres is shown to provide a facile and versatile route to carbidebridged heterometallic complexes. Synthesis, reactivity, spectroscopic and structural...

Sintering with low frequency rf power (-50 M H z ) is a new technique with unique capabilities that has been used to sinter a variety of ceramic materials, including zirconia-toughened alumina, alumina, silicon carbide, and boron carbide. Processing with low frequencies offers many advantages compared to processing with conventional microwave frequencies (915 MHz and 2.45 GHz). Because of the l...

Silicon Carbide as an inorganic material possesses properties like high thermochemical stability, high hardness and fracture toughness, low thermal expansion coefficient etc. It is therefore, widely used in the making of refractory, semiconductor devices, combustion engines, etc. Being a nonoxide, it has a tendency to get oxidized at elevated temperature under oxidizing atmosphere. Oxidation of...

Zirconium carbide nanoparticles were produced by wire explosion process by exploding zirconium conductor in methane ambiance. X-ray diffraction studies of the particles produced by wire explosion process confirm the formation of cubic zirconium carbide particles. The results of the study indicates that unreacted zirconium content in the zirconium carbide powder could be reduced by exploding the...

The first direct evidence is provided for the presence of an interstitial carbide in the Fe-V cofactor of Azotobacter vinelandii vanadium nitrogenase. As for our identification of the central carbide in the Fe-Mo cofactor, we employed Fe Kβ valence-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, and herein report the highly similar spectra of both variants of the...
