In this paper, the enhancement of NiCrBSi coatings by adding Cr3C2 were investigated. The NiCrBSi coatings with different additions of Cr3C2 were produced by laser cladding. The microstructure, hardness and wear resistance of the coatings were studied by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester and M-200 wear tester. It is found that the main phases in the coatings are [Formula: see text]-Ni, Cr[Formula: see text]C6 and Cr7C3, and they also contain a small amount of CrB, Ni4B3 and Ni3Si2. Moreover, with the increase of Cr3C2 addition, the microhardness and wear resistance of coatings are obviously improved. When the addition of Cr3C2 is 20%, the wear resistance of the coating is the best, and the wear resistance of the coating increased by 191.2% than that of the Cr3C2-free coating. The wear resistance of coating decreases when the addition of Cr3C2 reaches 30%.

In this study, the boronized layers were formed on the surfaces of specimens with a composition of Fe-2 wt. % Cu-0.4 wt. % C by sintering and boronizing simultaneously, using a pack boronizing method. The processes were performed in the temperature range of 1050 - 1150 oC at a holding time of 4 hours in 97 % N2 and 3 % H2 atmosphere. Scanning electron microscopy examinations showed that the boronized layers formed on the surface of boronized and sintered specimens have a denticular morphology. The thicknesses of the boronized layers varied from 63 to 208 ?m depending on the processing temperature. The structures of the boronized layers were Fe2B and FeB confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The microhardness values of boronized layers ranged from 1360 to 2066 HV0.3 much higher than that of substrate hardness which was about 186 HV0.3. Wear testing results showed that the wear resistance of the boronized and sintered specimens was significantly improved, resulting from increased surface microhardness.

In this study, 45 carbon steel was boronized and borosulphurized at 950°C for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 h, respectively. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscope, microhardness tester and ring-on-block wear tester. It is found that the surface of borosulphurized samples was dense, compact and relatively smooth; Although the boride layers produced by boro- sulphurizing at 950°C showed a lower microhardness value compared with that produced by boronizing, the wear resistance of the borosulphurized carbon steel is higher than that of boronized sample due to formation of FeS phase in the boride layer.

Different morphology CuO nanostructures, including platelets, flower-like were simply synthesized at 350 °C controlled by droplet on hydrophobic substrate. This is a simple method which does not require any template, catalyst, or surfactant but can control the morphology of CuO from platelets to flowerlike. The morphologies are strongly dependent on the volume of droplet. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Optical microscope and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to observe the morphology, crystallinity, and chemical composition of the CuO structures. Growth mechanisms for shape selective CuO synthesis were proposed based on these results.

Al-based hybrid composite reinforced by ultra-dispersed tungsten and B4C, was produced by mechanical alloying and hot extrusion. Structure of obtained composites was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The compressive and tensile properties of these materials were investigated. Tribological tests showed high antifriction properties and wear resistance of composite containing B4C and tungsten. The dilatometric measurements showed that thermal expansion coefficient remains approximately constant up to 500 °C.

In order to improve the wear resistance of continuous casting crystallizer, Co-based alloy coatings were prepared on copper substrate by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, microhardness and wear resistance testing were employed to study the microstructure and properties of the cladding coatings. The results show that the friction coefficient and wear mass loss of the cladded coating with the volumn ratio of Stellite X-40:TiC:CaF2=60:10:30 are both the smallest; the average microhardness of the cladded coating is 496.2HV0.2 which is about five times higher than that of the substrate.

A carbontirided layer was produced on 20CrMnTi steel by plasma electrolytic carbonitriding (PEC/N). Scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis was employed to study the morphology and chemical composition of the carbonitrided layer. Hardness of the layer was measured using a microhardness tester, and the phase structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The results show that a compact carbonitrided layer can be obtained on the surface of 20CrMnTi steel. The thickness of the layer increases with carbontriding time. When the sample was treated at 120V for 20min, the thickness is 45μm and the highest microhardness is 766HV0.05. The carbontrided layers are composed of Fe3C, Fe5C2, ε-Fe3N and α-Fe.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.
