BACKGROUND: Seed aging is an important problem in developing countries which seeds stored in inappropriate condition. OBJECTIVES: Current research was carried out to study the effect of seed aging on quantitative parameters of wheat seeds (Chamran cultivar). METHODS: Experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block desi...

In this study the Taguchi method, has been applied to optimize the heat treatment parameters for the corrosion resistance of AA6061 aluminum alloy. The experimental design consisted of four parameters (aging temperature, aging time, quenching environment and NaCl concentration), each containing three levels. Tafel polarization measurements were carried out to determine the corrosion resistance ...

In this paper, accelerated multi-factor aging tests in laboratory have been conducted on the stator ham of a large generator. During the period of aging, the temperature spectra of dielectric dissipation factor tan 6 of stator insulation were employed to investigate aging characteristics of insulation materials. Test results showed that the peak temperature T,,, of the tan 6 -T curve under 0.2U...

Aging dynamics in thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is investigated by using dielectric measurements for different types of aging processes. The dielectric constant decreases with increasing aging time at a given aging temperature in the present measurements, except in the long time region (≥11h) near the glass transition temperature for the real part of the dynamic dielectric cons...

nanocrystalline ceria has been considered as support for carbon monoxide preferentially oxidation. in this study ceria was prepared by precipitation method and the effects of preparation conditions, such as ph of solution (8-10), aging time (1-12 hr), drying temperature (80-120 °c), calcination time (2-6 hr) and temperature (400-600 °c) were investigated on ceria synthesized powders properties....

– We compare slow domain growth aging in a disordered ferromagnet and aging in a spin glass, by studying the different phases of a reentrant system. We measure the relaxation of the low-frequency ac susceptibility χ, in both the ferromagnetic and spin-glass phases of a CdCr1.9In0.1S4 sample. A restart of aging processes when the temperature is lowered ('chaos' effect) is observed in both phases...

CoHErrelation between weldability and improvement in properties is a key issue in materials science research. The objective of this work is to optimize the process parameters viz., aging temperature, aging time, solutionizing time, to enhance the hardness of Al6061 alloy. Hence, the present paper deals with hardness study of Tungsten Inert Gas welded 6061 aluminium alloy after age hardening und...

Circuit aging refers to the deterioration of circuit performance over time. All portions of a System-on-Chip (SoC), analog, digital logic, and memory, are affected by aging. In this survey, three main aging mechanisms will be introduced: Bias Temperature Instability(BTI), Time Dependent Dielectirc Breakdown(TDDB), Hot Carrier Injection(HCI). This survey also introduces a concept of circuit fail...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of aging parameters (time and temperature) on the mechanical properties of Be-and/or Zrtreated Al-Mg-Zn (7075) alloys. Ultimate tensile strength, 0.5% offset yield strength and % elongation measurements were carried out on specimens prepared from cast and heat treated 7075 alloys containing Be and/or Zr. Different aging treatment were c...
