The ceramic coatings with thickness up to 120 μm were prepared on Ti3Al-based alloy in silicate electrolyte by microarc oxidation method. The morphology, microstructure, composition and phase constituent of the coatings were investigated. Microhardness profiles along the cross-section of the coating were determined. The maximum microhardness in the coating was about 3 times higher than that of the substrate. The thickness of the coating increased with the increasing of MAO time. There were two layers in the ceramic coatings: a dense layer and a loose layer. The coating was mainly composed of (Ti0.6Al0.2Nb0.2)O2 phase. Scratching test revealed a good adhesion between the Ti3Al substrate and the coating.

The results of experimental studies of the corrosion resistance of aluminum and its alloys modified with ceramic coatings based on the microarc oxidation method in some aggressive environments are presented. The mechanism of destruction of the coating is considered. Recommendations on increasing corrosion resistance are given.

Ceramic coatings were formed on a pure aluminum substrate in an aqueous solution of phosphate salt, using the pulsating micro-arc oxidation method. XRD indicated that the film composed of pure γ- Al 2 O 3. SEM showed that the surface of the film was micro-porous with 1–5 μm pores. EDS gave the element distributions of the cross-section. The result indicated that elements from the electrolyte like P could be incorporated into the film during MAO process. The microhardness test showed that the film had an average hardness of 654 HV0.025. The growth process of the Al 2 O 3 ceramic-like film was discussed on the basis of the structure analysis.

The thick ceramic coatings were prepared on 6061 aluminum alloys by microarc oxidation in a silicate electrolyte. The morphology and phase constituent of the coatings with different thickness were studied by scanning electron microscope, and X-ray diffraction. Scratch and thermal shock tests were employed to evaluate the adhesion between the coating and alloy substrate. The maximum microhardness and its position away from alloy/coating interface increases with increasing the coating thickness. The critical scratch force for the coating break was about 55 N in the 50 μm thick coating. Thermal shock resistance of the coatings depend on their thickness and thinner coating has better thermal shock resistance. The coated alloy with 50 μm thick coating can be subjected to 50 times thermal cycles of heating up to 500°C followed by quenching into water.

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|.

The work of multilayer glass structures for central and eccentric compression and bending are considered. The substantiation of the chosen research topic is made. The description and features of laminated glass for the structures investigated, their characteristics are presented. The analysis of the results obtained when testing for compression, compression with bending, simple bending of models of columns, beams, samples of laminated glass was made. Overview of the types and nature of destruction of the models are presented, diagrams of material operation are constructed, average values of the resistance of the cross-sections of samples are obtained, the table of destructive loads is generated. The need for development of a set of rules and guidelines for the design of glass structures, including laminated glass, for bearing elements, as well as standards for testing, rules for assessing the strength, stiffness, crack resistance and methods for determining the strength of control samples is emphasized. It is established that the strength properties of glass depend on the type of applied load and vary widely, and significantly lower than the corresponding normative values of the strength of heat-strengthened glass. The effect of the connecting polymeric material and manufacturing technology of laminated glass on the strength of the structure is also shown. The experimental values of the elastic modulus are different in different directions of the cross section and in the direction perpendicular to the glass layers are two times less than along the glass layers.
