Bulk and Surface Low Temperature Phase Transitions in the Mg-Alloy EZ33A
Low-temperature phase transitions in the EZ33A Mg-cast alloy have been investigated. Based on the structure assessment of the alloy after annealing at 150 °C (1826 h) and at 200 °C (2371 h) a grain boundary wetting transition by a second solid phase was ...

Application of TOF-SIMS Method in the Study of Wetting the Iron (111) Surface with Promoter Oxides
In the present work, a simplified model of the Fe(111) surface’s promoter-oxide system was investigated in order to experimentally verify the previously proposed and known models concerning the structure and chemical composition of the surfaces of iron ...

The Greening and Wetting of the Sahel Have Leveled off since about 1999 in Relation to SST
The Sahel, a semi-arid climatic zone with highly seasonal and erratic rainfall, experienced severe droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Based on remote sensing vegetation indices since early 1980, a clear greening trend is found, which can be attributed to ...

Interfacial Phenomena in Fe-TiC Systems and the Effect of Cr and Ni
Titanium carbide is used as reinforcement component in composites due to its stability, hardness and wear resistance. A potential application is local reinforcement of stainless steel castings in which TiC is added only to the surfaces, which acquire ...
