Optimum filtration of broadband radiation in Hilbert-transform spectroscopy

The possibility of optimum filtration of the radiation of a mercury arc lamp for subterahertz Hilbert-transform spectroscopy with a frequency-selective Josephson detector is demonstrated. Hilbert-transform spectroscopy was used for the first time for measuring the transmission spectrum of a high-pass filter.     

Specifics of initial steam condensation and its influence on corrosion damage in turbines

Processes of corrosion cracking of the metal of turbine blades in the region of initial steam condensation are considered. Possible ways of preventing corrosion-fatigue damage to the blades are proposed.     

Temperature Dependence of the Magnetic Properties of Amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B Alloys

Alloying of amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B metallic compositions with nickel and molybdenum results in a decrease in the values of saturation magnetization in fields with a magnetic intensity of 0.72 MA/m. The same alloying additions decrease the temperature of formation of new magnetic Fe₃B-type phases, which are stable up to 873 ± 5 K.     

Nanoparticles and Their Effective Use in the Technology of Highly Concentrated Binding Suspensions (HCBS) and Refractory Castables. Part 1

General aspects (including terminology) related to the use of ultradisperse particulates (nanosystems) are discussed. The important role of nanoparticles in the technology of highly concentrated binding suspensions (HCBS) and refractory castables is emphasized. Using nanoparticles provides a route toward improving the rheotechnologic properties of HCBS and HCBS-based molding mixtures as well as the structure and service properties of the end product.
