Maraging steels are used to produce tools by Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods such as Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Although it is well established that dense parts can be produced by AM, the influence of the AM process on the microstructure-in particular the content of retained and reversed austenite as well as the nanostructure, especially the precipitate ...

Transposable elements are major components of most eukaryotic genomes. Such sequences are generally defective for transposition and have little or no coding capacity. Because transposition can be highly mutagenic, mobile elements that remain functional are tightly repressed in all living species. Drosophila pericentromeric heterochromatin naturally contains transposition-defective, non-coding d...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is a widespread additive manufacturing technology in industrial applications, for metal components manufacturing. Maraging steel special class of Fe-Ni alloys, typically used the aerospace and tooling sectors due to their good combination mechanical strength toughness. This work analyses heat treatment effect on microstructure hardness value 300-grade maraging ma...

Silks are frequently a cause of concern for conservators and curators. Amongst other critical challenges, textile acidity is considered to pose a risk. Consequently, it is common practice to carry out pH measurements when assessing condition. Enhanced acidity is usually ascribed to previous processing treatments, adsorbed pollutants, and oxidative deterioration. However, the results of the deta...

In this paper, the short-term creep behavior of the Inconel-713C superalloy after different pre-treatments including the ageing and forging processes has been studied at 850 °C. The ageing heat treatment was heating at 930 °C for 16 hours without solutioning process. The optical microscopy (OM) and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were applied for microstructural evaluations. T...

The work is devoted to study of an experimental PM nickel-based superalloy Ni-16(Al, Ti, Nb, Ta)-30(Cr, Co, Mo, Hf, W, Re) (wt.%). initial as-HIP’ed material was prepared as cylinders with a size ?100 × 200 mm. hot workability the evaluated by compression tests small samples under isothermal conditions. were performed at temperatures 1150 –1240°C strain rate ? =10?4 –10?1 s?1. Some subjected pr...

The magnitude of secondary relaxation and heat capacity of a variety of glasses decrease on physical ageing. The decrease suggests a collapse of localized high-volume, highentropy regions in its structure. Densification on ageing affects the kinetic, vibrational and electronic properties of a glass differently than does densification on compression. Tunneling centres responsible for the low-tem...

A thorough investigation has been carried out on the Al-12Si-1Mg-1Cu-1Ni automotive alloy considering different properties, specially mechanical properties associated with true stress and strain Zr addition of trace amount. commercially available piston is melted to produce alloy, amount added make another. The base along had applied homogenization, solution treatment, quenching, ageing in orde...

gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by a two–step process; cathodic electrodeposition followed by heat-treatment method. first, gd(oh)3 nanoparticles was galvanostatically deposited from nitrate bath on the steel substrate by pulse current (pc) mode. the deposition experiments was conducted at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=1ms and toff=1ms) for 60 min. the electrodeposited precursor was the...
