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.     

On studying methods for cleaning dielectric oil for impregnation of high-voltage pulse capacitors with film dielectric

Methods for cleaning commercial T-1500 dielectric oil with different adsorbents are studied. The oil is intended for impregnation of high-voltage pulse capacitors with film dielectric.     

V-Si-Sb phase diagram. Isothermal section at 1070 K

The interaction of components in the V-Si-Sb system is examined at 0.7 mole% Sb using an x-ray analysis. An isothermal section of the phase diagram is constructed at 1070 K. The existence of V₄SiSb₂ with the W₅Si₃-type structure is not confirmed. Based on VSi₂ (CrSi₂ structure type), V₅Si₃ (W₅Si₃), VSb₂ (CuAl₂), VSb (NiAs) compounds, terminal solid solutions are formed. Their solubility is lower than 0.05 mole% of the third component. A continuous series of solid solutions exists between V₃Si and V₃Sb (Cr₃Si). The interaction of components in related systems is analyzed.
