In this work, the iron bacteria were cultured and inoculated into the cooling water before immersion, and low carbon steel coupons were immersed for one month. Then, microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel in the presence of these bacteria was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) and weight loss methods. SEM results showed that large amounts of corrosion products and heterogeneous biofilm layer were formed on the coupon surface. SEM also revealed the uniform-pitting corrosion on the steel surface due to bacteria colonization. XRD results show that the main constituents present in corrosion product are composed of iron oxides and iron hydroxides.

The effect of cold wire drawing on texture of industrial low carbon steel wire was investigated. On the other hand, the mechanism of recrystallization of drawn-wire was studied during different isothermal annealing below 723 °C. The structural evolution of wire was studied by optical microscopy, SEM, EBSD and X-Ray diffraction. From this study, a fiber texture was observed in deformed wire. However, a recrystallization reaction occurs after critical temperature during annealing.

AbstractThe differences in artifacts associated with voltage-pulsed and laser-pulsed (wavelength = 532 or 355 nm) atom-probe tomographic (APT) analyses of nanoscale precipitation in a high-strength low-carbon steel are assessed using a local-electrode atom-probe tomograph. It is found that the interfacial width of nanoscale Cu precipitates increases with increasing specimen apex temperatures induced by higher laser pulse energies (0.6–2 nJ pulse−1 at a wavelength of 532 nm). This effect is probably due to surface diffusion of Cu atoms. Increasing the specimen apex temperature by using pulse energies up to 2 nJ pulse−1 at a wavelength of 532 nm is also found to increase the severity of the local magnification effect for nanoscale M2C metal carbide precipitates, which is indicated by a decrease of the local atomic density inside the carbides from 68 ± 6 nm−3 (voltage pulsing) to as small as 3.5 ± 0.8 nm−3. Methods are proposed to solve these problems based on comparisons with the results obtained from voltage-pulsed APT experiments. Essentially, application of the Cu precipitate compositions and local atomic density of M2C metal carbide precipitates measured by voltage-pulsed APT to 532 or 355 nm wavelength laser-pulsed data permits correct quantification of precipitation.

Crystallographic macrotexture of pure niobium cold rolled to 30, 60, 80 and 90% reduction was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and compared with low carbon steel texture. Annealed samples from 800oC, to 1200oC were investigated by X-ray diffraction and electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD). The texture of cold rolled polycrystalline niobium is characterized by a component {001}<110> that increases in intensity with the cold work percentage. After annealing, the component {001}<110> spreads out about 20o.

The grain-resolved residual stress (type II) in commercial-quality low carbon steel was observed using scanning three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy. In this method, grain orientations and lattice parameters are mapped using a monochromatic high-energy X-ray microbeam and 3DXRD-based polycrystalline indexing. Defining the reference lattice parameter a0 as the average value in the entire field of view, grain orientations and lattice parameters are converted into stress tensors, yielding a grain-resolved stress tensor map. The effectiveness of the scanning 3DXRD method was demonstrated by evaluating the residual stress in a cold-rolled low carbon steel sheet using a 50 keV microbeam at SPring-8. The area of the cross-sectional sample was 1×1 mm2, which was sufficiently larger than the grain size of about 20 μm. To produce a two-dimensional map of a circular region with a diameter of 160 μm at a pixel size of 1×1 μm2, the measurement time was about 1 h. From the stress tensor map, differences in residual stress of about 150–200 MPa between some neighboring grains were observed.
