In this research, the densification of magnesia nanopowder with a mean particle size of about 100 nm was investigated by spark plasma sintering undera pressures of 80 MPa and at temperature range from 1000 °C to 1400 °C and a heating rate of 50 °C/min for 20 minutes. The density of the samples slowly increased with increasing sintering temperatures to 1200 °C. Afterwards, with more increasing o...

according to webster and wind (1972) and anderson et al (1987), “organizational buying is a complex process and involves many people from different functional areas, multiple goals and potentially conflicting decision criteria. moreover, the customers of today are also more knowledgeable and selective when making their purchasing decisions. since a key to organizational survival is the retentio...

Austenitic stainless steels are high performance steels that have various applications in solid oxide fuel cells and boiler tubes under high temperature operating conditions. The Cr2O3 oxide layer formed on the steel surface becomes unstable at high temperatures and reduces the oxidation resistance of the steel. Therefore, protection of these steels at high temperatures is essential. Therefore,...
