Solid state recycling of aluminium via hot extrusion is a sustainable technique. The process performed before hot extrusion plays a vital role on the extrudate properties. In this study, the effect of naturally and thermally formed in-situ alumina on the extrudate density were investigated. Fours type of material identified as a solid as-received, non-treated recycle chip, 300 0C thermally treated recycle chip and 500 0C thermally treated recycle chip were prepared for the experiment. Prior to extrusion, the recycle chips were compacted into a chip-based billet, preheated and immediately extruded into a semi-finished product. The density test performed on the chip-based extrudate found that the type of chips influenced the density. The chip-based extrudate made of 300 0C and 500 0C thermally treated chips resulted in higher density than solid as-received and non-treated chips. Chip-based extrudate produced from 500 0C thermally treated chips resulted in density of 2724 kg/m3, which is the highest among the specimen. This density value was 0.7 % higher compared to the solid as-received extrudate. Microstructure examination on the cross-section revealed the alumina entrapped in the chip-based extrudate. The alumina entrapped in 500 0C thermally treated chips specimen was more prone than the non-treated and 300 0C thermally-treated chips. This finding explains the variation in the extrudate density.

Solid-state recycling is a sustainable technique for recycling aluminium scrap, and the process before recycling is essential to control the physical properties of the product. In this work, the effect of the thermally-treated chips on the extrudate density was investigated. The aluminium chips were thermally-treated to enrich the alumina layer and reduce compaction pressure during chips compaction before recycled using direct hot extrusion. The chips that were transformed into compacted billets were extruded directly without melting and conducted according to 24 full factorial experimental design. The density test on the recycle extrudate found that the density variation ranged from 2724 to 2983 kg/m3. The ANOVA result showed that all factors investigated were statistically significant. The most significant factor was the preheating temperature, followed by extrusion ratio, chip treatment temperature, chip treatment time, and the interaction of chip treatment-time–extrusion ratio. The predictive model suggested by the ANOVA is useful to predict the density with 1% error. Microstructure examination revealed the presence of alumina entrapped in the recycle extrudate, in which thermal-treated chips contained more alumina than that of the untreated chips. The result indicated that the thermal treatment performed on the chips had enriched the in-situ alumina, affecting the density of the recycle extrudate.

ABSTRACT The interplanetary counterparts of coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) are the leading driver of severe space weather. Their morphological evolution in interplanetary space and the prediction of their arrival time at Earth are the ultimate focus of space weather studies, because of their scientific and technological effects. Several investigations in the last couple of decades have assumed that ICMEs have a circular cross-section. Moreover, various models have also been developed to understand the morphology of ICMEs based on their deformed cross-section. In fact, simulation studies have suggested that the initial circular cross-section flattens significantly during their propagation in the solar wind and this is referred to as ‘pancaking’. However, an observational verification of this phenmenon is still pending and it will eventually be the primary concern of several morphological models. Here, we report the first unambiguous observational evidence of extreme flattening of the cross-section of ICMEs, similar to pancaking, based on in situ measurements of 30 ICME events. In fact, we conclude that the cross-section of ICME flux ropes transformed into a two-dimensional planar magnetic structure. Such a deformed morphological feature not only alters the prediction of their arrival time but also has significant implications in solar-terrestrial physics, the energy budget of the heliosphere, charged particle energization, turbulence dissipation and enhanced geo-effectiveness, etc.

Super light and high performance Mg2Si/Mg composites, which had excellent mechanical properties, were developed via the combination of solid-state synthesis and hot extrusion process. In this study, cold compacting (CP) and repeated plastic working (RPW) were firstly carried out for the mixture of Mg-Si powders, and the refinement of both Mg grains and dispersoids. Each specimen was evaluated by observation of microstructure and tensile test. As a result, it was understood that Mg2Si dispersoids were refined and dispersed into Mg matrix, and were flowed along extrusion direction. And their mechanical properties were higher than the conventional die casting alloys. Also the effect of RPW as the improvement of properties and the decrease of synthesis temperature were confirmed.

There appears to be no generally accepted method of measuring in-situ the cross-sectional area of connective tissues, particularly small ones, before mechanical testing. An instrument has therefore been devised to measure the cross-sectional area of one such tissue, the rabbit medial collateral ligament, directly and nondestructively. However, the methodology is general and could be applied to other tissues with appropriate changes in detail. The concept employed in the instrument is to measure the thickness of the tissue as a function of position along the width of the tissue. The plot obtained of thickness versus width position is integrated to provide the cross-sectional area. This area is accurate to within 5 percent, depending mainly on alignment of the instrument and pre-load of the ligament. Results on the mid-substance of the rabbit medial collateral ligaments are repeatable and reproducible. Values of maximum width and thickness are less variable than those obtained with a vernier caliper. The measured area is considerably less than that estimated assuming rectangular cross-section and slightly less than that estimated on the assumption of elliptical cross-section.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

With respect to structural consequences within a material, energetic electrons, above a threshold value of energy characteristic of a particular material, produce vacancy-interstial pairs (Frenkel pairs) by displacement of individual atoms, as illustrated for several materials in Table 1. Ion projectiles produce cascades of Frenkel pairs. Such displacement cascades result from high energy primary knock-on atoms which produce many secondary defects. These defects rearrange to form a variety of defect complexes on the time scale of tens of picoseconds following the primary displacement. A convenient measure of the extent of irradiation damage, both for electrons and ions, is the number of displacements per atom (dpa). 1 dpa means, on average, each atom in the irradiated region of material has been displaced once from its original lattice position. Displacement rate (dpa/s) is proportional to particle flux (cm-2s-1), the proportionality factor being the “displacement cross-section” σD (cm2). The cross-section σD depends mainly on the masses of target and projectile and on the kinetic energy of the projectile particle.
