The present paper analyzes the effect of low aluminum additions and hot forging process on microstructure non-metallic inclusions high manganese steels. Four high-manganese steels (HMnS) were obtained by adding contents 1.1 1.5 wt. % in four medium carbon austenitic (0.3 - 0.4 wt% C) with 17 22 Samples as-cast forged to 1100 ?C obtain a whole reduction 70 %. microstructural evolution was studie...

An etch resistance phase was found in dental silver amalgam when the amalgam was examined metallographically. This phase was common to the silver alloy ingot as well as to its prepared amalgam. Qualitative electron microprobe technics were used to identify this phase. Quantitative electron microprobe analysis defined it as the R' phase of the copper-tin system or the intermetallic compound Cu6Sn5.

The six independent elastic constants of Sr2RuO4 were determined using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy on a high-quality single-crystal specimen. The constants are in excellent agreement with those obtained from pulse-echo experiments performed on a sample cut from the same ingot. A calculation of the Debye temperature using the measured constants agrees well with values obtained from both spe...

BACKGROUND More than 3.5 billion people are affected by iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA). Previous studies have shown that the use of iron pots in daily cooking ameliorates IDA. We report a study on the use of a novel treatment to address IDA in rural women in Cambodia, where the use of iron pots is not common. METHODS A community-wide randomized controlled trial was conducted in the village of ...
