Pea plants were grown in controlled environments at 25/15 C day/night temperatures and transferred abruptly to each of three higher temperatures, 32/22, 35/25, and 38/28 C, to determine the effects on growth and development and on phosphorus fractions. Samples were taken for analysis on a logarithmic high-temperature exposure time scale. Rate of node formation increased sharply during the first 24 hours of exposure to the elevated temperatures and then declined to a rate which was somewhat greater than that of 25/15 C plants. Rate of internode elongation was initially stimulated and then slowed slightly during continued high temperature exposure. Inorganic phosphorus declined slightly within 10 minutes of temperature increase but increased to about three times the original level by 6 days. Organic, lipid, and nucleic acid and protein phosphorus were not appreciably affected by the temperature change.

AbstractIn this study, the effect of curing temperature on the properties of slag cement concrete after high-temperature exposure was studied, and elevated curing temperature (45 ± 2 °C and 95% relative humidity (RH)) was selected to compare with the standard curing temperature (20 ± 2 °C and 95%RH). Four different concrete mixes with the same mix proportion, except for different slag replacement ratios, were used: 0% (reference), 30% (slag), 50% (slag), and 70% (slag). After high-temperature exposure at 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C, the effect of slag replacement, high temperature, and curing temperature on the compressive strength and mineralogical and microstructural properties of slag cement concrete were studied. Test results indicated that the compressive strength of concrete cured for 7 d at elevated temperatures increased by 28.2, 20.7, 28.8, and 14.7% compared with that cured at the standard curing condition at slag percentages of 0, 70, 50, and 30%, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results revealed that concrete cured at elevated temperatures exhibited a more condensed phase and contained a higher percentage of hydrates than that cured for 7 d in the standard curing condition. However, after 56 d of curing, concrete in the standard curing condition exhibited a more stable phase and a higher concentration of hydrates.

ABSTRACTThe use of light weight structural materials such as titanium in transport systems like aero planes leads to a significant reduction in fuel consumption. However, titanium and its alloys cannot be used at elevated temperatures above 500°C for several reasons. Today aero engine compressors are made of a mixture of light Ti- and heavy Ni-alloys. The improvement of Ti-alloys to withstand the conditions in the high pressure compressor i.e. temperatures above 500°C would enable the manufacturing of a compressor from titanium as a whole with all its associated benefits. Intermetallic TiAl-alloys are another class of light weight materials for several high temperature applications. The use of TiAl as low pressure turbine (LPT) blades in the last sections of a large jet engine could save up to 150 kg of weight. In the last sections of the LPT the temperature is quite moderate (max. 650°C). The improvement of the high temperature capability of TiAl would allow its use in hotter sections of the engine with additional weight reduction. Similarly, the response performance of TiAl-turbocharger rotors in automotive engines would be much faster compared to the heavy Ni-based alloys used today. Furthermore higher rotation speeds are possible. Due to the novel so called fluorine effect the oxidation mechanism of TiAl can be altered. Fluorine-treated TiAl-components are protected by an alumina layer formed during high temperature exposure in oxidizing environments. This effect can be transferred to Ti-base materials if they are enriched with aluminum in a thin surface zone. The concepts and the results of high temperature exposure experiments of treated Ti- and TiAl-specimens are presented in this paper. They are discussed in the view of a use for real components.

The Impact

Portland cement concrete is known to have good fire resistance; however, its strength would be degraded after exposure to the temperatures of fire. Repeated low-velocity impacts are a type of probable accidental load in many types of structures. Although there is a rich body of literature on the residual mechanical properties of concrete after high temperature exposure, the residual repeated impact performance of concrete has still not been well explored. For this purpose, an experimental study was conducted in this work to evaluate the effect of high temperatures on the repeated impact strength of normal strength concrete. Seven identical concrete patches with six disc specimens each were cast and tested using the ACI 544-2R repeated impact setup at ambient temperature and after exposure to 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 500 °C. Similarly, six cubes and six prisms from each patch were used to evaluate the residual compressive and flexural strengths at the same conditions. Additionally, the scattering of the impact strength results was examined using three methods of the Weibull distribution, and the results are presented in terms of reliability. The test results show that the cracking and failure impact numbers of specimens heated to 100 °C reduced slightly by only 2.4 and 3.5%, respectively, while heating to higher temperatures deteriorated the impact resistance much faster than the compressive and flexural strengths. The percentage reduction in impact resistance at 600 °C was generally higher than 96%. It was also found that the deduction trend of the impact strength with temperature is more related to that of the flexural strength than the compressive strength. The test results also show that, within the limits of the adopted concrete type and conducted tests, the strength reduction after high temperature exposure is related to the percentage weight loss.

AbstractPreliminary creep tests were performed on SiC whisker reinforced and matrix Si3N4 material fabricated by the NPS technique. The material was extensively crystallised in the as received material, leaving only thin amorphous films surrounding the grains. No improvement in the creep resistance could be detected for the whisker reinforced material. The deformation mechanisms were found to be that of cavitation in the form of microcracks, predominantly at the whisker/matrix interfaces, and the formation of larger cracks. Extensive oxidation of the samples, as a result of high temperature exposure to air, was observed for the materials tested at 1375°C.
