In the preceding chapters we have discussed theoretical foundations for the calculation of the interatomic forces in metals and we have learned how to calculate the structure and the thermodynamic properties of a metal in both the crystalline and the liquid states. This theory is sufficiently ...
ThePourbaix diagramforaluminumis shown inFigure 26.10. Between pH 4 and 8.5, a thin and very stable film of hydratedaluminum oxideforms, protecting the metal. Thecorrosion rateof aluminum in pure water is extremely low, even though the driving force for corrosion is very large—about 2.8 volts...
Prediction of Limiting Strains for Square Pattern – Square Hole Perforated Commercial Pure Aluminium Sheets Forming limit diagram (FLD) is the most appropriate tool used to obtain the safe strain region in sheet metal forming industries. This FLD is based on limi... G Venkatachalam,S Narayanan,...
摘要: Measurements and theoretical estimates are presented of the liquid-gas phase diagram of an electron-hole fluid in pure germanium. The critical point is found to occur in a region where the fluid is an electron-hole plasma at T=6.5+/-0.1 K and n=(8+/-2)×10cm....
Observations of Island Structures at the Initial Growth Stage of PbZrxTi1-xO3 Thin Films Prepared by Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition Island structures of PbZrxTi1-xO3(PZT) (x=0.26 and 0.74) were observed prior to formation of a continuous film at the initial growth stage on a Pt(11...
Correspondingly, stoichiometric amounts of tin (II) 2-ethylhexanoate (C16H30O4Sn; Alfa-Aesar), silver nitrate (AgNO3; Merck) and copper (II) nitrate trihydrate (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O; Merck) were dissolved in diethylene glycol (DEG; Alfa-Aesar) as the metal precursors [20]. PVP and NaBH4 ...
Crystal structure of LaMn2(Ge1-xSix)2: La (green), Mn (dark blue), Si/Ge (turquoise). Full size image The subgroup of manganese silicides and germanides, REMn2X2 (RE = rare-earth metal, X = Si, Ge) has gained particular attention for their interesting physical properties...
The different types of fillings are also explained by the nature of the sulfur–metal phase diagram. An eutectic solidification, such as in Ni–S, yields two phases — the pure metal and the first sulfide — within a given tube, whereas the existence of a miscibility gap in the liquid, ...

The direct-reduced iron (DRI) leaving the shaft achieves a high rate of metallization (92–96% iron metal, with residual iron oxides being Wustite) and a moderate level of carburization (2–2.5% carbon in the total mass). The preparation of the reducing gas follows several steps. First, ...
