Effect of height on the corrosion of steel and galvanized steel in nontropical coastal marine environments

In this study, the behavior of carbon steel and galvanized steel in nontropical coastal marine environments was evaluated. Evaluation was carried out with specimens with dimensions of 10 cm × 10 cm × 0.3 cm. These specimens were exposed to four testing stations (Iquique, Mejillones, Los Vilos, and San Vicente), where racks were installed both at ground level (ground), as well as in the upper zone of electrical transmission towers (tower). In each station, 24 specimens of A36 carbon steel and galvanized steel were placed (12 each). The corrosivity of the environment was measured using the ISO 9223, 9225, and 9226 standards. The specimens were evaluated on-site, monthly, through visual inspection and photographic record. Once withdrawn, the corrosion rate was determined and the corrosion products were analyzed through Raman and Fourier-transform infrared. The results show that, in all cases, the corrosion rate is greater in the tower than on the ground. However, even though the Los Vilos station is located farther from the sea (3,500 vs. ≈500 m), the corrosion rate of steel in the tower is the highest. This is caused by the generation of HCl from the transformation of lepidocrocite into goethite, in the presence of low chloride content, which acidifies the steel/corrosion product interface. In the case of galvanized steel, the corrosion rate is a function of the chloride content in the atmosphere, obtaining an excellent correlation between both parameters.     

Morpholine As a Scaffold in Medicinal Chemistry: An Update on Synthetic Strategies

Morpholine is a frequently used heterocycle in medicinal chemistry and a privileged structural component of bioactive molecules. This is mainly due to its contribution to a plethora of biological activities as well as to an improved pharmacokinetic profile of such bioactive molecules. The synthesis of morpholines is a subject of much study due to their biological and pharmacological importance, with the last such review being published in 2013. Here, an overview of the main approaches toward morpholine synthesis or functionalization is presented, emphasizing on novel work which has not been reviewed so far. This review is an update on synthetic strategies leading to easily accessible libraries of bioactives which are of interest for drug discovery projects.     

Enhancing nugget size and weldable current range of ultra-high-strength steel using multi-pulse resistance spot welding

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an innovative approach that uses a pulse-profile to improve the welding quality of CP1180 steel in resistance spot welding process. Three pulses with two cooling times were used in the developed multi-pulse welding (MPW) schedule. The experimental results show that the first pulse increases the contact area between the sheets to improve the current flow pattern. The second pulse was designed to extend the sheet-to-sheet contact area and corona bond for preventing rapid nugget growth. Using these designs, the nugget size was maximised through the third pulse. The maximum nugget size using the designed MPW schedule was 18.5% greater than that of the single-pulse welding schedule and the weldable current range was extended by 130%.

Structural and dielectric properties of B2O3/Li2O-added Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 multilayer ceramics for tunable devices

B₂O₃ and Li₂O (B/L)-added Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃ (BST) ceramics sintered at 940 °C exhibited a dense microstructure with large grains. The amount of B/L additive was 4.5 wt% with a B/L ratio of 1.5:1. The B/L-related liquid phase assisted the densification of the BST ceramics. This BST ceramic displayed a large dielectric constant (ε_r) of 2834 with a low dielectric loss (tan δ) of 0.21% at 1.0 MHz. It also displayed a large tunability (28.2% at 10 kV/cm) and a high figure of merit (FOM) of 134. BST thick-films were synthesized using the tape casting method. The thick-film densified at 940 °C exhibited a large tunability of 18.7% at 10.0 kV/cm and an FOM of 208; these are higher than the values reported in the literature. Multilayer ceramics (MLCs) consisting of five layers of 40-μm-thick BST thick-films and Ag electrodes were also fabricated at 940 °C. No diffusion occurred between the Ag electrode and BST thick-film. A large tunability of 67.6% at 52 kV/cm with a high FOM of 294 was obtained from this MLC. This verified that the B/L-added BST ceramic is effective for application in tunable multilayer devices.

退火温度对冷轧DP980钢力学性能的影响

利用连续退火模拟机对DP980试验钢进行了连续退火试验,并通过扫描电镜、电子背散射衍射、透射电镜等研究了不同退火温度下(775、800、825和850 ℃),试验钢显微组织的演变规律和力学性能的变化趋势。结果表明:试验钢的屈服强度随着退火温度的升高而不断增大(从705 MPa增大到850 MPa),抗拉强度和断后伸长率则随着退火温度的升高而不断减小(抗拉强度从1150 MPa减小到1030 MPa;伸长率从8.9%减小到5.3%),这与试验钢的显微组织构成和形态分布密切相关。此外,不同退火温度下,试验钢的加工硬化率曲线均呈现单调下降的趋势。

Physical and thermal properties of l‐lactide/ϵ‐caprolactone copolymers: the role of microstructural design

Understanding the underlying role of microstructural design in polymers allows for the manipulation and control of properties for a wide range of specific applications. As such, this work focuses on the study of microstructure–property relationships in l‐ lactide/?‐caprolactone (LL/CL) copolymers. One‐step and two‐step bulk ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) procedures were employed to synthesize LL/CL copolymers of various compositions and chain microstructures. In the one‐step procedure, LL and CL were simultaneously copolymerized to yield P(LL‐stat‐CL) statistical copolymers. In the two‐step procedure, poly(l‐ lactide) (PLL) and poly(?‐caprolactone) (PCL) prepolymers were synthesized in the first step before CL and LL respectively were added in the second step to yield P[LL‐b‐(CL‐stat‐LL)‐b‐LL] and P[CL‐b‐(LL‐stat‐CL)‐b‐CL] block copolymers as the final products. The findings reveal that, in addition to the copolymerization procedure employed, the length and type of the prepolymer play important roles in determining the chain microstructure and thereby the overall properties of the final copolymer. Moreover, control over the degree of crystallinity and the type of crystalline domains, which is controlled during the polymer chemistry process, heavily influences the physical and mechanical properties of the final polymer. In summary, this work describes an interesting approach to the microstructural design of biodegradable copolymers of LL and CL for potential use in biomedical applications. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
