The application of silver is seriously affected by its tendency to oxidize and corrode. Therefore, the addition of proper alloying elements to silver-based alloys to achieve better properties has become a hot topic at present. In this current study, the effects of the addition of the two elements Au and Ge on the microstructures and properties of Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys were investigated. The results showed that the microstructures were refined and the second dendrite was shortened in the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys with the addition of Au and Ge. Adding Au enhanced the corrosion resistance of the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys with the addition of both Ge and Au was better than that of the alloy samples with Au added alone. The best corrosion resistance of the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys was achieved by adding 1.0 wt.% Au and 1.0 wt.% Ge. The microhardness was enhanced by the addition of Au and Ge, and was strongly correlated with the secondary dendrite arm spacing (λ2) of the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloys. In addition, the Au addition could improve the conductivity of the Ag-1.5Cu-0.1Y alloy; however, Ge had little effect on the conductivity of the alloy samples. This work provides an experimental basis for the design of better performing silver-based alloys.

The Effect of Major Alloying Elements on the Size of Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing in the As-Cast Al-Si-Cu Alloys A comprehensive understanding of melt quality is of paramount importance for the control and prediction of actual casting characteristics. Among many phenomenon that occur during the solidification of castings, there are four that control structure and consequently mechanical properties: chemical composition, liquid metal treatment, cooling rate and temperature gradient. The cooling rate and alloy composition are most important among them. This paper investigates the effect of the major alloying elements (silicon and copper) of Al-Si-Cu alloys on the size of secondary dendrite arm spacing. It has been shown that both alloying elements have reasonable influence on the refinement of this solidification parameter.

AbstractThis paper investigates gender differences in university performances in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses in Italy, proposing a novel application through the segmented regression models. The analysis concerns freshmen students enrolled at a 3-year STEM degree in Italian universities in the last decade, with a focus on the relationship between the number of university credits earned during the first year (a good predictor of the regularity of the career) and the probability of getting the bachelor degree within 4 years. Data is provided by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR). Our analysis confirms that first-year performance is strongly correlated to obtaining a degree within 4 years. Furthermore, our findings show that gender differences vary among STEM courses, in accordance with the care-oriented and technical-oriented dichotomy. Males outperform females in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science, while females are slightly better than males in biology. In engineering, female performance seems to follow the male stream. Finally, accounting for other important covariates regarding students, we point out the importance of high school background and students’ demographic characteristics.

Along with the rapid development of electric power industry in China, the pollutant discharge limits are getting more strict, and WFGD (wet flue gas desulfurization) technology and its equipment have been greatly developed and extensively applied, in which the gas-gas heater (GGH) is adopted at lots of the power stations. The corrosion is a very important issue in GGH, and it is experimentally studied in this paper. Through experiment of polarization curves and the control variable method, a comparative analysis of the corrosion resistance between the commonly used materials of the GGH is made. The results have shown that the corrosion resistance with the heat transfer surface in GGH will decrease with the temperature increasing, but the enamel steel’s corrosion resistance and stability is strikingly better than that of others, and the increasing volume of corrosion resistance by plating enamel is remarkable.
