Microstructure Design of Steel‐Spinel Composites via Spark Plasma Sintering Process
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study illustrates how spark plasma sintering at reduced oxygen partial pressure enables controlled formation of steel‐spinel composites through tailored redox reactions and cation exchange. Comparison of the MgO–Fe2O3, steel–(MgO+Cr2O3), and steel–(MgO+Fe2O3) systems shows how oxygen activity and interface chemistry govern spinel formation, phase ...

Data documentation for the bare soil experiment at the University of Arkansas [PDF]
The reflectivities of several controlled moisture test plots were investigated. These test plots were of a similar soil texture which was clay loam and were prepared to give a desired initial soil moisture and density profile. Measurements were conducted

Production of MgO/TiC Composites From MgO‐C Recyclates Using Spark Plasma Sintering
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Using the spark plasma sintering technique, MgO/TiC composites are manufactured from recycled MgO‐C refractories stemming from the steel production that were mixed with titanium powder. This article shows, how the size of the Ti grains and their distribution in the powder mixture affect the local carbon concentration in TiC.
