Retained Austenite Phase in (26.5%Cr, 2.6%C) White Cast Iron Studied by Means of CEMS and Eddy Current

High chrome white irons are specifically employed in the mining industry for their resistance to wear. More cost-effective materials are constantly being sought, due to the high wear rate of the drilling components, which is a high cost area for this industry. Optimum resistance to wear is often not the main criterion of material selection but parameters such as ease of fabrication; availability and low initial cost have also to be accounted for. A correctly heat-treated high chrome white iron of a right chemical composition presents the best hardness and toughness combination [1]. A (26.5 wt.% Cr, 2.6 wt.% C) white iron has been produced by casting and heat-treating. As the retained austenite phase has the ability to harden, the control of its content may result in tuning the applications of this material. Various heat-treatments were given to the above-mentioned material to achieve a spread of austenite values. The retained austenite phase amount was measured by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Conversion Electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and Eddy current techniques. A linear correlation between results from Eddy Current and CEMS, Eddy-current and XRD, and between those from CEMS and XRD was observed. As the nominal abundance values were technique dependent, their conversion will be discussed. The present study results in the calibration of the Eddy current apparatus and suggests its application in the casting industry during mass production for the retained austenite content determination in high chrome white iron castings.     

Flow-through immunomagnetic separation system for waterborne pathogen isolation and detection: Application to Giardia and Cryptosporidium cell isolation

Simultaneous sample washing and concentration of two waterborne pathogen samples were demonstrated using a rotational magnetic system under continuous flow conditions. The rotation of periodically arranged small permanent magnets close to a fluidic channel carrying magnetic particle suspension allows the trapping and release of particles along the fluidic channel in a periodic manner. Each trapping and release event resembles one washing cycle.The performance of the magnetic separation system (MSS) was evaluated in order to test its functionality to isolate magnetic-labelled protozoan cells from filtered, concentrated tap water, secondary effluent water, and purified water. Experimental protocols described in US Environmental Protection Agency method 1623 which rely on the use of a magnetic particle concentrator, were applied to test and compare our continuous flow cell separation system to the standard magnetic bead-based isolation instruments. The recovery efficiencies for Giardia cysts using the magnetic tube holder and our magnetic separation system were 90.5% and 90.1%, respectively, from a tap water matrix and about 31% and 18.5%, respectively, from a spiked secondary effluent matrix. The recovery efficiencies for Cryptosporidium cells using the magnetic tube holder and our magnetic separation system were 90% and 83.3%, respectively, from a tap water matrix and about 38% and 36%, respectively, from a spiked secondary effluent matrix. Recoveries from all matrices with the continuous flow system were typically higher in glass tubing conduits than in molded plastic conduits.     

Monte Carlo Simulations of Mössbauer Results in Fe–C Austenite

The Mössbauer signal of Fe–C austenite is difficult to interpret because different Fe–C configurations give rise to different hyperfine interactions. Two competing models for the distribution of carbon atoms in the fcc austenite lattice have been proposed to account for Mössbauer spectra. Both models assume a repulsive C–C interaction of different magnitude and different Fe–C configurations. From the Mössbauer spectra, the abundance of the different iron sites could be determined. That abundance may also be calculated with Monte Carlo simulations. In this work, using the two controversial models, we compare the relative fractions of the Fe–C configurations obtained from Mössbauer spectra of vermicular austempered cast iron with Monte Carlo simulation.     

Effect of prior austenite grain size on the formation of carbide-free bainite in low-alloy steel

ABSTRACT

Inconsistencies exist in literature regarding the effect of prior austenite grain size (PAGS) on the extent and kinetics of bainite transformation. Attempts have been made in the present work to address these issues in a low-alloy carbide-free bainitic steel using dilatometry, over a range of PAGS. The bainite transformation kinetics in the above-mentioned conditions have been analysed quantitatively using established kinetic model to extract information related to the transformation mechanisms in such conditions. Greater obstruction from grain boundaries in fine-grained austenite restricts sheaves of bainite to develop completely and thereby reduces the volume fraction of bainite in comparison with coarse-grained austenite. Initial nucleation rate of bainite transformation increases with decreasing PAGS due to an increase in the nucleation site density. However, the maximum nucleation rate decreases consistently with decreasing PAGS due to gradual reduction in the autocatalytic factor.     

Development and validation of an LC‐ESI‐MS/MS approach to determine a highly hydrophobic drug,norcantharidin palmitate,and apply to a preliminary pharmacokinetic study in rats

In order to investigate the pharmacokinetics of norcantharidin palmitate (NCTD‐PAL) in rats, we developed and validated an LC‐ESI‐MS/MS method. The NCTD‐PAL and internal standard (triamcinoloneacetonide palmitate, TAP) were separated on a Phenomenex Kinetex®XB C₁₈ column, and the mobile phase was composed of tetrahydrofuran (THF)–acetonitrile (20/80, v /v) and an aqueous phase containing 0.2% ammonium hydroxide at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The ESI interface operated in positive mode was used to acquire the mass spectrometric data, and the transition ions were m /z 635.50 → 168.95 and 673.65 → 397.13 for NCTD‐PAL and IS, respectively. The method had a linear range of 10–2000 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient of >0.99. The accuracy (RE, %) was within ±10.1%, and the intra‐ and inter‐day precisions (RSD, %) were 10.9 and 13.8%, respectively. The extraction recovery of NCTD‐PAL at different concentrations ranged from 89.3 to 102.0%. The validated approach was efficaciously applied to a pharmacokinetic study of NCTD‐PAL in rats via intravenous injection. Based on these results obtained, this method is practical and suitable for a wide range of applications.     

Cyclic stress induced phase transformation in super-bainitic microstructure

The effects of cyclic stress loading on the microstructual evolution and tensile properties of a medium-carbon superbainitic steel were investigated. Experimental results show that the cyclic stress can induce the carbon gathering in austenite and phase transformation from film-like retained austenite to twin martensite, which will obviously enhance the tensile strength and the product of tensile strength and ductility. The higher the bainitic transformation temperature, the lower the transformation rate of the retained austenite. The amount and thickness of the film-like retained austenite play an important role during the cyclic stress induced phase transformation.

Austenite grain growth kinetics and mechanism of grain growth in 12Cr ultra-super-critical rotor steel

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the austenite grain growth behaviour of 12Cr ultra-super-critical (USC) rotor steel was investigated by a series of heat treatments. The heat treatments at heating temperatures of 900°C–1250°C and holding time of 1?h–20?h were conducted in an electric box-type heating furnace. Experimental results showed that the sizes of austenite grain were affected by heating temperatures and holding time, and heating temperature was the dominant factor. In addition, the grain growth rate changed significantly before and after the turning points of 1050°C and 1250°C. Meanwhile, an austenite grain growth mathematical model was established at different heating temperature stages, and possession of the capability to accurately predict austenite grain size was confirmed. Furthermore, the microstructure of austenite grain in the heating process was observed by optical microscope (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed the mechanism of austenite grain growth. Analysis indicated that the change of quantity of precipitate particles with increasing heating temperature was the main reason for the difference in austenite grain growth.
