A cationic polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride surfactant with a molecular weight of 10,000–11,000 u was used for experimental study. It has been shown that the addition of insignificant concentrations (0.03–0.290 %) of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride, which belongs to class IV of toxicity and is an effective inhibitor of biocorrosion, increases a flow rate of water fire extinguishing agent by 1.20–1.78 times when using the RSK-50 fire barrel. We have established experimentally an increase in the flow rate of a polymer solution from drencher nozzles by 1.86–7.69 % in the concentration range (0.3–1.4 %) along the examined pipeline (1 m and 13 m). An increase in pressure by 2–6 % has been observed compared with the initial values under such conditions. The used polymer has properties of a \"biologically soft\" surfactant and meets high environmental requirements of the environmental protection and rational use of natural resources. One can use it to develop formulations for environmentally acceptable water extinguishing agents and their application in firefighting practice. The above allows us to argue that the directed use of salts of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride is possible to reduce hydraulic losses in water extinguishing systems.

Its reduction implies using mineralizing additives, which have a different mechanism of action on the starting components of pigment charges. The effectiveness of the mineralizers is determined by their nature, content, degree of dispersion in the activated reagent. Thus, searching for the most effective mineralizers in the synthesis, in particular, of silicate-spinel ceramic pigments is an important scientific and practical task.We have investigated the effect of various mineralizing additives (B2O3, Na2B4O7, Na2O, NaF) on the processes of forming the crystal-phase composition of slag-containing ceramic pigments and the change in their color indicators. A direct dependence has been established between the melting point of the mineralizers and the efficiency of their influence on the formation of spinel phases, which are color carriers in such pigments. The tangible effect of the introduction of sodium fluoride, which has the highest melting point among the examined additives, is achieved as a result of the firing of pigments at a temperature not lower than 1,150 °C. The effect of sodium oxide is effective starting at a temperature of 1,100 °C. The most expedient to apply are the boron-containing compounds. Their introduction makes it possible to lower the firing temperature of slag-containing pigments to 1,050 °C while completely binding the starting components in the spinel solid solutions. The ceramic pigments that are thus synthesized enable the formation of glazed coatings, which, in terms of qualitative indicators, are not inferior to coatings obtained with the addition of high-temperature pigments (a firing temperature of 1,200–1,250 °С). The formation of silicate phases (diopside and wollastonite), which are not color carriers in the examined pigments, undergoes effective mineralized action from the supplements of NaF and B2O3","PeriodicalId":18731,"journal":{"name":"Materials Processing & Manufacturing eJournal","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81345983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To stop corrosion, corrosion inhibitors are used that must be constantly improved and whose composition must be properly adjusted. The main drawback of the highly effective inhibitors based on alkyl imidazolines, a mixture of alkyl imidazolines with alkyl pyridinium and/or quaternary ammonium compounds soluble in a methanol medium, is their high prices at relatively significant consumption in the corrosive environment. This paper reports the synthesis of steel corrosion inhibitors in oil-containing aqueous environments that meet the stricter ecological and economic requirements. It has been shown that increasing the level of water mineralization improves the corrosive activity of aqueous environments relative to unalloyed steels. The presence of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, or carboxylic acids leads to the oxidation of water-oil mixtures resulting in the increased rate of steel corrosion. We have studied the effectiveness of the synthesized inhibitors based on oil and polyethylene polyamines containing imidazolines. At a temperature of 80 °C, the mixture that contained 200 cm3of a 3 % sodium chloride solution, 800 cm3of oil, and at the concentration of acetic acid of 0.5 and 3.0 g/dm3 at the inhibitor dose of 50 mg/dm3, has reached the degree of protection of steel against corrosion at the level of 90–92 %. Based on a full factorial experiment, the regression equation has been derived that makes it possible to easily enough calculate an optimal dose of the steel corrosion inhibitor in water-oil mixtures.

Evaluation of blowing number is performed depending on lance dynamics, oxygen flow rate and surface tension. The developed model considers surface tension as a function of oxygen, carbon and sulphur content of bath and bath temperature. Bath temperature is predicted using the enthalpy change of oxidation reactions and change of specific heat in each component present in the bath. Predicted end blow carbon concentration and bath temperature correspond well with the experimental values obtained from steel plant. The effect of lance angle and lance height on droplet generation is also taken in account. It has been found that the rate of droplet generation in melt increases with increases of blowing number (NB) and jet momentum onto the metal bath.

The formation of other unidentified side reaction products restricted the higher yield of HMF. Reaction parameter study suggested that higher reaction temperature (> 220oC), higher substrate to catalyst ratio (> 0.5) was not beneficial for higher yield of HMF. Longer reaction time has not affected the yield of HMF.

The tensile properties of laser powder-bed-fused IN738LC superalloy in the as-built state have been shown to have both good strength and ductility compared with its post-thermal treated state. A microstructural hierarchy composed of weak texture, sub-micron cellular structures and dislocation cellular walls was promoted in the as-built sample. After post-thermal treatment, the secondary phase γ′ precipitated with various size and fraction depending on heat treatment process. For room-temperature tensile tests, the dominated deformation mechanism is planar slip of dislocations in the as-built sample while dislocations bypassing the precipitates via Orowan looping in the γ′ strengthened samples. The extraordinary strengthening effect due to the dislocation substructure in the as-built sample provides an addition of 372 MPa in yield strength. The results of our calculation are in agreement with experimental yield strength for all the three different conditions investigated. Strikingly, the γ′ strengthened samples have higher work hardening rate than as-built sample but encounter premature failure. Experimental evidence shows that the embrittlement mechanism in the γ′ strengthened samples is caused by the high dislocation hardening of the grain interior region, which reduces the ability to accommodate further plastic strain and leads to premature intergranular cracking. On the basis of these results, the strengthening micromechanism and double-edge effect of strength and ductility of Nickel-base superalloy is discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":18731,"journal":{"name":"Materials Processing & Manufacturing eJournal","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81868177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
