A cyclic wet/dry accelerated corrosion test was used to compare the corrosion behavior of medium-Mn steel and Q345 steel. In terms of scanning electron microscope (SEM), using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and analysis of the corrosion process, the results showed that the medium-Mn steel did not exhibit higher corrosion res...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of osmotic shock and adaptation at low water activity (aw) and the type of humectant used to lower the aw, on heat resistance of three Salmonella enterica serovars (Saintpaul 02-109, Tennessee 2053H, and Elmsbuettel 1236H). The serovars were grown (adapted) or transferred (osmotic shocked) in low-aw broths and subjected to heat treatment a...

The ternary system H2O-NaCl-CO2 is one of the most important fluid systems in geochemistry and petrology. However, there is little information on the phase equilibrium and PVT properties in this system at salinities above 6 wt.% NaCl. In this study, PVTX data were obtained experimentally by using the synthetic fluid inclusion technique in conjunction with conventional microthermometry and a hyd...

Selective laser melting (SLM) can fabricate titanium and its alloy components with both elaborate internal architectures complex shapes without geometric constrictions. The corrosion resistance of SLM-produced Ti is crucial in some applications such as marine biomedical environments. Here, potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to evaluate the behaviors Ti...

In this work, three composite structures of nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) bonded with SUS630 stainless steel different intermediate layers were fabricated by laser deposition. The microstructure and corrosion behavior NAB in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution studied. coating directly deposited on substrate contains a large number Fe-rich dendrites due to the dilution energy Cu-Fe liquid phase separation ch...

Current evidence suggests salt taste transduction involves at least two mechanisms, one that is amiloride sensitive and appears to use apically located epithelial sodium channels relatively selective for Na(+) and a second that is amiloride insensitive and uses a variant of the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) that serves as a nonspecific cation channel. To provide a fu...
