Friction stir alloying is primarily employed for the fabrication of surface composite to improve surface properties like hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance without significantly affecting the bulk properties of the alloy. The present study demonstrates the novel method for the fabrication of bulk aluminum-graphene nanoplatelets composite by using friction stir alloying. Here, the novelty is shown through the method of graphene nanoplatelets incorporation in the stir zone. For this purpose, a channel is fabricated on the cross-sectional surface of the aluminum plate and filled with graphene nanoplatelets. It is then covered by the cross-sectional surface of another aluminum plate of same dimensions and friction stir alloying is carried out. Reference material (RM) is also fabricated at the same parameters without any graphene nanoplatelet reinforcements for the performance evaluation of the nanocomposite. The microhardness of the fabricated composite increased by ∼57% as compared to the reference material. However, the tensile strength of the fabricated Al-graphene nanoplatelet composites decreased marginally as compared to reference material. The strengthening of the composite is explained systematically by various mechanisms. The results of microhardness and tensile test were corroborated with various characterization methods such as optical micrographs, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, and X-ray diffraction.

The aim of this study is to design a spinneret that can be used efficiently for the manufacturing of coaxial composite filaments. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) was used as resin matrix with 99.9% pure copper filament as the core. The characterization of the polymer was done to determine polymer thermal and rheological properties. Multi-shaped coaxial composite filaments were obtained after successful laboratory-scale melt extrusion machine modification and spinneret development. The cross-sectional surface and shape were analyzed with a scanning electron microscope. Coaxial filaments having the cross-section including elliptical, triangular, rectangular and circular shapes were developed. The characterization of spinneret design and coaxial composite filaments were also reported. The effect of spinneret design parameters on the cross-sectional shape of the filament were analyzed.

The development of the cross-section scanning tunneling microscope (XSTM) and its application to the study of the cross-section of boron(B)-implanted Si wafers are reported. To obtain a cross-section of wafer samples, we examined the cleavage on the {111} plane in two ways. As a result the cleavage, by pushing the side of the sample wafer, was found to be preferable in obtaining a flat {111} cross-section from both (111) and (001) wafers. Our devices in the mounting angle and the guiding line for the cleavage are also described in detail, Using this XSTM, we observed the {111} cleaved cross-sectional surface of the B-implanted Si(111) wafer, The local surface structure was found to change on the cleaved cross-section from the 7 × 7 to the [Formula: see text] reconstruction through the disordered phase, The change was found to be consistent with the depth profile of the implanted B in the Si water. The arrangement of B and Si atoms in the disordered phase was determined by the site and the sample bias dependence of protrusions in STM images.

AbstractThe Emsian deposits of the Battery Point Formation (GaspéCanada) host the most diverse Early Devonian flora in North America. While most of this diversity has been described from plant compressions, the permineralized component of the flora is incompletely explored. Based on >15 axes studied in serial sections, we describe a new anatomically preserved rhyniopsid from the Battery Point Formation, Eddianna gaspiana gen. & sp. nov.. Eddianna axes are up to 2 mm in diameter and have a well-developed terete xylem strand with potential centrarch maturation (comprising 80% of the cross sectional surface area) that features Sennicaulis-type tracheid wall thickenings. A thin layer interpreted as phloem is preserved around the central xylem and an irregular sclerenchymatous cortex forms longitudinal anastomosing ridges on the outside of the axes. The anatomy of Eddianna axes suggests that they represent lower portions, specialized in efficient water transfer, of a larger plant whose distal regions have yet to be discovered. Eddianna, the first permineralized rhyniopsid described from the Battery Point Formation, is one of only four anatomically preserved plants reported from this unit. These fossils reiterate the potential for additional discoveries of anatomically preserved plants in the Battery Point Formation.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for predicting the cross-sectional surface roughness of the workpiece for the grinding process, which reduces three-dimensional modeling to two-dimensional modeling by virtue of the cross-sectional area of the undeformed grinding chip. Besides, this paper develops a search technique to figure out systematically the surface roughness in order to determine the final cross-sectional surface roughness produced by thousands of grinding wheel grains with randomly distributed protrusion heights. The simulated results are consistent with the measurement data, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

В работе представлены результаты исследований микро- и наноструктуры поверхности быстрозакаленных лент сплавов Гейслера (NiMnAl,NiMn AlSi, NiCoMn Al) методами сканирующей электронной и атомно-силовой микроскопии. Рассмотрено влияние химического состава на размер, геометрию границ и структуру зерен. Показано, что все исследуемые образцы обладают наноразмерным мартенситным рельефом, определены его параметры. Установлено, что поперечное сечение лент представлено кристаллическими зернами разной формы и размера, что обусловлено отличием скоростей охлаждения по краям и в центре ленты. Проведено элементное картирование поверхности поперечного сечения лент с помощью рентгеновского энергодисперсионного спектрометра, установлено равномерное распределение химических элементов в образцах. Показано, что легирование лент состава NiMnAl кобальтом вызывает изменение микроморфологии поверхности и оказывает значительное влияние на ход полевых зависимостей намагниченности и доменную структуру образцов. The paper describes the results of the scanning electronic and atomic force microscopy research of the surface structure of the NiMn Al, NiMn AlSi, NiCoMnAl rapidly quenched ribbons. The influence of the chemical composition on the size, boundary geometry and structure of the grains is considered. It is shown that all the test samples have a nano-sized martensitic relief, and its parameters are determined. It has been established that the cross section of the ribbon is represented by crystalline grains of different shapes which are due to differences in the cooling rates along the edges and in the center of the samples. Elemental mapping of the cross-sectional surface of the ribbons was carried out using an X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer, and a uniform distribution of chemical elements in the samples was established. It is shown that the cobalt doping of NiMn Al ribbon causes changes in the micromorphology of the surface and has a significant effect on the magnetic properties of rapidly quenched ribbons: field dependences of themagnetization and domain structure.

The only form of cellulose which could unequivocally be ascribed to the animal kingdom is the tunicin that occurs in the tests of the tunicates. Recently, high-resolution solid-state l3C NMR revealed that tunicin belongs to the Iβ form of cellulose as opposed to the Iα form found in Valonia and bacterial celluloses. The high perfection of the tunicin crystallites led us to study its crosssectional shape and to compare it with the shape of those in Valonia ventricosa (V.v.), the goal being to relate the cross-section of cellulose crystallites with the two allomorphs Iα and Iβ.In the present work the source of tunicin was the test of the ascidian Halocvnthia papillosa (H.p.). Diffraction contrast imaging in the bright field mode was applied on ultrathin sections of the V.v. cell wall and H.p. test with cellulose crystallites perpendicular to the plane of the sections. The electron microscope, a Philips 400T, was operated at 120 kV in a low intensity beam condition.
