The effectiveness of various management practices to reduce phosphorus (P) loss from soil to water can potentially be improved by using by-product materials that have the capacity to sorb phosphorus. This study evaluated the P sorption and desorption potential, and the physicochemical characteristics of various phosphorus sorbing materials. Twelve materials were selected and P sorption potentia...

Additional important properties to consider for additional analysis within the aerosol operations include the density, conductivity and ionizability of the element or compound. Magnesium is an extremely light metal, approximately 2/3 the weight of aluminum. Magnesium is extremely conductive, on par with copper and aluminum. Magnesium can be ionized with the energy available within the ultra-vio...

Purpose: The main objective of this study was development of determination of phase fraction methodology in cast magnesium alloy containing aluminum and rare earth elements. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted on magnesium alloy containing 4 %wt. aluminum and 4 %wt. mixture of rare earth elements (mischmetal) in the as-cast condition. The mischmetal includes cerium, lanthanum, ...

although the solubility of oxygen in molten aluminum alloys is said to be negligible, the fresh surface of the melt oxidizes quickly in the air and an oxide film is formed on the melt surface. oxide-metal-oxide sandwich technique is a method for the study of short-time surface oxide films. in this research, air was blown at 0.5 atmosphere into the melts of al-1mg and al-6mg alloys by means of a...

Electrical-current-assisted friction stir welding (EA-FSW) is a procedure developed for the joining of similar and dissimilar materials. EA-FSW newly invented solid-state process to increase welded components’ efficacy in various applications, such as marine structures. joints have investigated on aluminum–magnesium, aluminum–steel, polymer-to-steel. Similar been performed aluminum, magnesium, ...

Results of internal friction measurements on the commercial aluminum-magnesium alloys 5052,5086 and 5486 are reported here over the temperature range 50 mK to 300 K, and compared with published data on alloy 5056. Effects of heat treatment and explosive bonds on the internal friction are evaluated. The quality factor of proposed multi-layer aluminum-alloy spherical resonant-mass detectors of gr...

From chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 4 onwards, phosphate binders are needed in many patients to prevent the development of hyperphosphataemia, which can result in disturbed bone and mineral metabolism, cardiovascular disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. In this review, we re-examine the use of magnesium-containing phosphate binders for patients with CKD, particularly as their use circ...

Light alloys usually refer to that are based on light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, etc [...]
