Corrosion Inhibition Mechanism with Spilt Cell Technique of Rare Earth Metal on LC4 Al Alloy

A new method of studying the corrosion inhibition mechanism of rare earth metal(REM) on LC4 Al alloy with the spilt cell technique was studied. The principle and experimental method of the spilt cell technique were analyzed. By measuring the change of net-electric current between the two electrodes caused by the change of the amount of oxygen in the solution and the addition of CeCl₃, the influence of corrosive performance of CeCl₃ on LC4 super-power aluminum alloy in the 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ NaCl solution was investigated. Meanwhile, the conditional changes of pH values, CeCl₃ solution, additire and time of performance were also studied. Finally, the features of electrode surface were revealed by using SEM and X-ray energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS). By combining these with other electric chemical techniques, such as potential-time curve, polarization curve et al.     

Effect of nisin on the storage of sous vide processed Korean seasoned beef

Seasoned beef called Jangzorim in Korea is produced by boiling in soy sauce, and is a popular food in Korea. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbial safety and physical qualities of sous vide processed seasoned beef, and the effect of nisin during storage. Sous vide processed packages with or without nisin (100 IU or 500 IU) were stored at 4 °C or 25 °C for 60 days, and samples measured for quality at regular intervals throughout this storage period. In the case of 25 °C storage, the number of mesophilic microorganisms in seasoned beef packages without nisin increased markedly, but with nisin there was no observed increase. Psychrotrophic microorganisms, anaerobic microorganisms, and B. cereus cells showed similar trends, although C. perfringens was not detected in all samples. At 25 °C storage, changes in the cutting force of packages containing nisin showed no significant change, packages without nisin decreased markedly. The colour of packages without nisin showed a drastic decrease in lightness (‘L’) while no changes were observed in packages with nisin.     

Counterface topographical effects on the wear of polyetheretherketone and a polyetheretherketone-carbon fiber composite

The unlubricated sliding wear behavior of non-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and a PEEK-carbon fiber (PEEK-C_f) composite was investigated under lightly loaded conditions against mild steel counterfaces. The results showed the occurrence of a relative minimum in wear for the non-reinforced PEEK-mild steel system, resulting from interfacial film formation. In addition, the wear particle morphology changed substantially as the counterface became rougher. For PEEK on abraded mild steel, attempts were made to correlate the wear rate with the average asperity radius model of Hollander and Lancaster. The PEEK-C_f composite, when compared under similar experimental conditions, also displayed a relative minimum in wear; however, it occurred against rougher counterfaces compared with those corresponding to the non-reinforced PEEK. In this case, the relative wear and transferred wear debris morphology reflected the addition of the carbon fibers.

Avalanche multiplication in a compact bipolar transistor model forcircuit simulation

A simple weak avalanche model valid in a wide range of voltages and currents, is presented. The proposed model is derived by using the base-collector depletion capacitance for predicting the avalanche current. The model needs only one additional transistor parameter; the extraction method and temperature dependence of this parameter are discussed. The decrease in avalanche current for high collector current densities may originate from internal device heating, a voltage drop in the epilayer, or mobile carriers in the depleted part. From experimental results it is concluded that, below a critical hot-carrier current, the decrease in avalanche current due to mobile carriers is negligible     

Craze yielding and fracture mechanism in PE/PS/PE laminated films

The change in polystyrene (PS) layer thickness, which has been simultaneously determined during post-yield deformation, shows that crazing is the basic mechanism of toughening in all laminated films, and that shear deformation supplements the contribution of crazing especially for samples with high polyethylene (PE) volume fractions. Crazes formed in PS layers in the laminated films are slender and regular compared with the short and lenticular crazes formed in bulk PS film. When PE volume fraction increased, craze advance speed decreased because of the reduction of the stress concentration effect at craze tips. The life-time of the first mature craze to be formed at a given strain rate increased with PE volume fraction because the PE supporting the mature crazes could effectively inhibit craze rupture and blunt out the propagating crack by absorbing the stored elastic energy in the PS layer that would have been dissipated as fracture surface energy.
