A Study of Calcareous Deposits on Cathodically Protected Mild Steel in Artificial Seawater

  • Yuanfeng Yang,
  • James David Scantlebury and
  • Elena Victorovna Koroleva

12 March 2015

Calcareous deposits were formed on steel under conditions of cathodic protection in artificial seawater at applied constant current densities ranging from 50 to 400 mA·m−2. The calcareous layers were characterized using a Field Emission Gun Scanning...

Effects of Rare Earth on the Microstructure and Impact Toughness of H13 Steel

  • Jinzhu Gao,
  • Paixian Fu,
  • Hongwei Liu and
  • Dianzhong Li

11 March 2015

Studies of H13 steel suggest that under appropriate conditions, additions of rare-earth metals (REM) can significantly enhance mechanical properties, such as impact toughness. This improvement is apparently due to the formation of finer and more dis...

Canonical Models of Geophysical and Astrophysical Flows: Turbulent Convection Experiments in Liquid Metals

  • Adolfo Ribeiro,
  • Guillaume Fabre,
  • Jean-Luc Guermond and
  • Jonathan M. Aurnou

9 March 2015

Planets and stars are often capable of generating their own magnetic fields. This occurs through dynamo processes occurring via turbulent convective stirring of their respective molten metal-rich cores and plasma-based convection zones. Present-day n...
