An absolute shielding scale is proposed for (207)Pb nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is based on ab initio calculations performed on an isolated tetramethyllead Pb(CH3)4 molecule and the assignment of the experimental resonance frequency from the gas-phase NMR spectra of Pb(CH3)4, extrapolated to zero density of the buffer gas to obtain the result for an isolated molecule. The ...

This study investigated the optimization of three welding parameters (wire feed speed, arc voltage, and shielding gas flow rate) for SS 304H by using Taguchi based Grey relational analysis. In this research work, pure argon was used as shielding gas. Numbers of trials were performed as per L16 (4xx3) orthogonal array design and the mechanical quality such ultimate tensile strength, microhardnes...

The potential light shielding by intracellular gas vacuoles in Halobacterium salinarium strain 5 was examined by looking at the ultraviolet light inactivation curves of both wild-type cells and mutants which are defective in the production of gas vacuoles. Whereas strains defective in gas vacuole production were slightly more sensitive to ultraviolet inactivation, no significant differences in ...

J. Matusiak, J. Wyciślik, Institute of Welding, Gliwice, Poland The article presents the results of research into the fume and gas emission during MIG/MAG arc weld brazing. Investigations were conducted for hot dip coated steel sheets with zinc and zinc and iron alloy coatings. Steel grades of DX 54D Z 100 MBO and DX 54D ZF 100 RBO were used during research. ARC shielding gases applied were Ar ...

A series of tests were conducted using varying levels of nitrogen and helium in a conventional argon shielding gas when welding 316LN austenitic stainless steel. The outcome was that a 15 per cent nitrogen addition to the argon shielding gas had the most significant effect on increasing the weld metal nitrogen. Subsequent additions of helium to the argon 15 per cent nitrogen shielding gas had v...

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people work in welding, cutting and brazing. It is estimated that welders compose 1 to 2% of the U.S. working population, including a significant segment of the aging workforce. According to OSHA’s Christine Petitti, the most commonly used welding processes are: 1) Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW). This process uses an arc between a continuous filler metal electrode and th...

In this research, Quantum-mechanical calculations were performed at the HF method with the 6-31+G*basis set and at the B3LYP method with the 6-31+G* basis set in the gas phase and five solvents such as water, DMSO, methanol, ethanol and dichloromethane at six temperatures. According to these theoretical results of IR, we extracted thermo chemical parameters such as enthalpy (∆H Kcal/mol), Gibbs...

Gas-phase multinuclear magnetic resonance (MR) spectra allow the total elimination of intermolecular effects from magnetic shielding in molecules. Consequently, the resonance frequencies of isolated atoms and molecules are also available for reading from MR spectra. Following the connectivity between nuclear magnetic moments, resonance frequencies of two different nuclei in the same MR experime...

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) currently under construction at Argonne National Laboratory will be one of the world’s brightest synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring, capable of storing currents up to 300 mA at 7.0 GeV and 200 mA at 7.5 GeV, will produce very intense and energetic synchrotron radiation (Ec = 24 keV for bending magnets and Ec = 37.4 keV for wigglers, where Ec is t...
