Constructing volumetric parameterization based on directed graph simplification of ℓ1 polycube structure from complex shapes

An unambiguous analysis of transmission electron diffraction effects requires two samplings of the reciprocal lattice (RL). However, extracting definitive information from the patterns is difficult even for a general orthorhombic case. The usual procedure has been to deduce the approximate variables controlling the formation of the patterns from qualitative observations. Our present purpose is to illustrate two applications of a computer programme written for the analysis of transmission, selected area diffraction (SAD) patterns; the studies of RL spot shapes and epitaxy.When a specimen contains fine structure the RL spots become complex shapes with extensions in one or more directions. If the number and directions of these extensions can be estimated from an SAD pattern the exact spot shape can be determined by a series of refinements of the computer input data.

Crystalline Ceramic

Ceramic thin films and coatings are of interest for electrical, optical, magnetic and thermal barrier applications. Critical for improved properties in thin films is the development of specific microstructures during processing. To this end, the sol-gel method is advantageous as a versatile processing route. The sol-gel process involves depositing a solution containing metalorganic or colloidal ceramic precursors onto a substrate and heating the deposited layer to form a crystalline or non-crystalline ceramic coating. This route has several advantages, including the ability to create tailored microstructures and properties, to coat large or small areas, simple or complex shapes, and to more easily prepare multicomponent ceramics. Sol-gel derived coatings are amorphous in the as-deposited state and develop their crystalline structure and microstructure during heat-treatment. We are particularly interested in studying the amorphous to crystalline transformation, because many key features of the microstructure such as grain size and grain size distribution may be linked to this transformation.

Abstract AK Steel 409 Ultra Form was created for applications needing oxidation or corrosion protection beyond the capability of carbon steel and some coated steels. AK Steel 409 Ultra Form is more formable than standard Type 409 stainless steel and is particularly suitable for parts requiring more complex shapes and improved weldability. Examples of applications include automotive exhaust tubing and stampings. This datasheet provides information on physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as deformation. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming and joining. Filing Code: SS-990. Producer or source: AK Steel, Butler Operations.
