Based on the detection technology of direct reading spectrum, metallographic microscope and X-ray, the defects of the grid switch castings were analyzed. The four main forms of casting fracture were summarized as poor physical and chemical properties, material misuse, casting defects and designing defects. In order to strengthen the quality control of the source of the product, it was proposed to carry out targeted network inspection in the two stages of material arrival and infrastructure acceptance.

ABSTRACTThe physical and chemical properties of fly ash produced at Ottumwa Generating Station have been monitored since April, 1985. The fly ash is produced from burning a low sulfur, sub-bituminous coal obtained from the Powder River Basin near Gillette, Wyoming. One-hundred and sixty samples of fly ash were obtained during the two year period. All of the samples were subjected to physical testing as specified by ASTM C 311. About one-hundred of the samples were also subjected to a series of tests designed to monitor the self-cementing properties of the fly ash. Many of the fly ash samples were subjected to x-ray diffraction and fluorescence analysis to define the mineralogical and chemical composition of the bulk fly ash as a function of sampling date. Hydration products in selected hardened fly ash pastes, were studied by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The studies indicated that power plant operating conditions influenced the compressive strength of the fly ash paste specimens. Mineralogical and morphological studies of the fly ash pastes indicated that stratlingite formation occurred in the highstrength specimens, while ettringite was the major hydration product evident in the low-strength specimens.

The purpose of this study is study of the physical and chemical properties of the overburden of the Dzherdanak deposit. The chemical and mineralogical composition of the overburden of the Djerdanak deposit has been studied by the methods of X-ray and thermography, electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The main phases are quartz, kaolinite and muscovite. The study of the fine structure of the rock under an electron microscope showed the homogeneity of the rock with pronounced uniform inclusions, which is preserved even after firing. Changes in the rock after firing at 1050 °C have been determined. The formation of mullite at this temperature has been established.

The chemical environment and the internal conditions of the furnaces and ladles are extremely aggressive for the refractories, so metallurgical industries demand refractory linings with greater durability and resistance to avoid unforeseen stoppages and to reduce the changes of the furnace lining. Therefore, the current work aims to evaluate the impact of the additions of ZrO2-nanoparticles (1, 3, and 5 wt. %) in magnesia-based bricks. A comparative study of the physical and chemical properties in bricks obtained using two cold pressing techniques (uniaxial and isostatic pressing) and two sintering temperatures (1550 and 1650 °C) was carried out. The microstructure and crystalline phase characteristics obtained after the heat treatments and the slag corrosion test was studied using scanning electron microscopy/electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results reveal that the sample with 5 wt. % of ZrO2 nanoparticles (obtained by cold isostatic pressing and sintering at 1650 °C) has the lowest porosity and greatest resistance to penetration of blast furnace slag.

1,2,4,5-Benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4Btec) is an ideal candidate for the synthesis of new coordination polymers compounds because of its four carboxyl groups bridging moieties with antimony ions having distorted coordination configuration. This work reports a new compound of coordination polymer, namely, [Sb2(C4H4O6)2(Btec)(H2O)]n, [(C4H4O6)2 = tartrate and Btec4− = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic anion] has been synthesized under reflux. The physical and chemical properties of coordination polymers; Sb2(C4H4O6)2(Btec)(H2O) was affirmed by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analyses and photoluminescence spectroscopy.


The physical and chemical properties of basic beryllium acetate, OBe 4 (CH 3 .CO 2 ) 6 , are those of a non-ionised substance having the unitary structure of a typical organic compound, each chemical molecule of which may be regarded as forming one co-ordination complex. The fact that the arrangement of the eleven associating units of which this molecule is composed possesses the geometrical attributes of a tetrahedron has led to a stereochemical conception of the constitution of the compound, which is confirmed by the results of X-ray analysis.

The composite scaffolds with nine different ratios of nano-HA and ß-TCP content were fabricated by using lyophilization method. Their microscopy, physical and chemical properties were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. MTT test was applied to quantitatively assess the number of viable cells attached and grown on the scaffolds. And the result showed that the amount of cells on the scaffold containing 30% by mass of nano-HA was significantly higher than the other samples.

The reuse of waste in civil construction brings environmental and economic benefits. However, for these to be used in concrete, it is necessary a previous evaluation of their physical and chemical characteristics. Thus, this study aimed to characterize and analyze the waste foundry exhaust sand (WFES) for use in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Foundry exhaust sand originates from the manufacturing process of sand molds and during demolding of metal parts. It is a fine sand rich in silica in the form of quartz collected by baghouse filter. Characterization of WFES was conducted through laser granulometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mode, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) techniques. The waste was classified as non-hazardous and non-inert, with physical and chemical properties suitable for use in SCC composition, as fine aggregate or mineral addition. Five mixtures of SCC were developed, in order to determine the waste influence in both fresh and hardened concrete. The properties in the fresh state were reached. There was an increase in compressive strength and sulfate resistance, a decrease in water absorption of self-compacting concrete by incorporating WFES as 30% replacement.

Many recent studies have highlighted the possibility to tailor the physical and chemical properties of porphyrin at the molecular level to design novel catalysts, sensors and devices with applications in electronics, opto-electronics, and so forth. In the present work, we study the electronic properties of 2H-Tetraphenylporphyrin (2H-TPP) on iron (Fe) and iron silicide (Fe3Si) onto Si (100) substrate using X-ray and Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS & UPS). The results revealed that the iron atom is coordinated by TPP molecules on Fe/Si as well as on Fe3Si/Si. XPS results provide evidence of the iron coordination with TPP molecules. The UPS analysis evidenced the fine structure in the electronic spectra related to HOMO states below the Fermi level.
