CBN diffusion coating on the ball nose end mills made of AISI-M35 high speed steel (HSS) has been produced thermo-chemically. The microstructure and component depth profiles of the CBN diffusion layer have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The results on laboratory cutting tests of ball nose end mills made of AISI-M35 HSS with and without complex CBN diffusion coating are also introduced in the paper. The relationship between wear kinetics and tool life has been established. It was shown that under the used cutting conditions the tool life of the mills with the coating was a factor of 1.6 higher than that of the mills without the coating. The higher tribological stability of the coating in cutting process was supported by metallographic observations of the worn surfaces using scanning electron microscopy.

AbstractThe relationship between Andean coca use and dental deposits is explored through the use of scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Elemental analyses of samples of large dental deposits from archeologically recovered skeletons from Ecuador dating between 500 B.C. and A.D. 1532 are compared with those of normal calculus deposits of individuals from North America (modern and precontact), of normal tooth structure and of samples of alkali recovered from Ecuadorian artifacts thought to have been employed in coca use. Spectral analysis revealed homogeneity among all dental samples (deposits and structure) and that they are distinct from the elemental pattern revealed in the analysis of the artifact alkalis.

The wear behaviour of powder metallurgy high-speed steel (PM-HSS) milling inserts is investigated experimentally. Cutting inserts with different cutting edge radii tested at various feed rates and cutting speeds were examined. The radii have been obtained either by microsandblasting or by honing. The initiation and progress of the tool wear was analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the cutting edges. The experimental results exhibit quantitatively the effect of tool radius on the performance of milling inserts. A radius on the cutting edge prevents fast and unpredictable wear, and can lead to a great improvement of the tool life.

When scanning electron microscopy became integrated with X-ray micro-analysis, it became an easy matter to localize an object and perform a semi-quantitative elemental analysis of atoms of atomic number 11 or higher using an energy dispersive spectrometer. This technique is used in the present study to determine the chemistry of the statoliths of eight hydromedusae, two scyphomedusae, one cubozoan and a ctenophore with respect to their comparative biomineralization and the relationship of the mineral to their taxonomy.

The aggregation structure of raw silk which influences the mechanical properties of raw silk directly is not only determined by the properties of cocoon but also affected by silk reeling velocity. In this study, the relationship between aggregation structure of raw silk and silk reeling velocity was studied by means of sonic velocity method, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study showed that orientation degree, crystallinity and mechanical properties of raw silk were remarkably influenced by silk reeling velocity, and the mechanical properties of raw silk would be improved through the reasonable silk reeling velocity.

The sintering process at 840°C and at 925°C, of Zr-7.2 wt. % Fe was studied by room-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy, x-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. According to phase analysis, most of the αFe phase disappeared after 20 h of sintering at 840°C and after 4 h at 925°C. During the sintering, small quantities of the intermetallic compound ZrFe2 as an intermediate phase were observed clearly by the Mössbauer technique and very weakly by x-ray diffractometry. The relationship among the relative quantities of αFe, ZrFe2, and Zr3Fe phases was determined. The change in density as a function of sintering time was measured, and the results were explained on the basis of the different sintering stages and phase transformations.

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.

During hibernation the ground squirrel is immobile, body temperature reduced and metabolism depressed. Hibernation has been shown to affect dental tissues varying degrees, although not much work has been done in this area. In limited studies, it has been shown that hibernation results in (1) mobilization of bone minerals; (2) deficient dentinogenesis and degeneration of alveolar bone; (3) presence of calculus and tears in the cementum; and (4) aggrevation of caries and pulpal and apical tooth abscesses. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of hibernation on dental tissues employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related x-ray analyses.

High resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) were performed to investigate microparticles in blended cements and their hydration products containing sodium-rich chemical wastes. The physical appearance of powder particles and the morphological development at different hydration stages were characterized by using high resolution SEM Hitachi S-900 and by SEM S-800 with a EDX spectrometer. Microparticles were dispersed on the sample holder and glued by 1% palomino solution. Hydrated bulk samples were dehydrated by acetone and mounted on the holder by silver paste. Both fracture surfaces and flat cutting sections of hydrating samples were prepared and examined. Some specimens were coated with an 3 nm thick Au-Pd or Cr layer to provide good conducting surfaces. For high resolution SEM S-900 observations the accelerating voltage of electrons was 1-2 KeV to protect the electron charging. Microchemical analyses were carried out by S800/EDS equipped with a LINK detector of take-off angle =40°.
