The protection of molten AZ91D alloy in the cover gases containing sulfur decomposed by FeS2 and fluorine produced by HFC-134a at 730℃ was investigated in this paper. The surface films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). It is revealed that the cover gases containing sulfur decomposed by FeS2 and fluorine produced by HFC-134a can protect the molten AZ91D alloy well. HFC-134a whose volume fraction is 0.04% -0.1% mixed with gas containing sulfur by adding FeS2 0.5g per 30 minutes and holding the melting temperature at 730℃ for 30 min can protect the molten AZ91D alloy. The bigger the volume fraction of HFC-134a, the better the effect. The protected film is formed of MgO, MgF2 and small amount MgS.

A double reinforced layer on an aluminum alloy surface was produced using friction stir processing (FSP) by adding 34CrNiMo6 powder into Al (AA2024) substrate for better wear resistance and gradient transitions. The microstructures of the composites were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The phase composition was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the double reinforced layer of the Al13Fe4 intermetallic compound could be successfully fabricated via FSP. The volume fraction of Al13Fe4 in the double reinforced layer was higher than in the single reinforced layer due to adding 34CrNiMo6 powder and reinforced twice, and the Al13Fe4 particles were dispersed more homogeneously in the double reinforced layer. The interfaces between the double and single reinforced layer had a good metallurgical bond. The microhardness of the double reinforcement layer was significantly increased. Compared with the AA2024 substrate, the microhardness of the double and single reinforced layers increased five- (576 HV) and two-fold (254 HV), respectively.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of CaCO3 levels on the formation of superconducting phase BPSCCO - 2212 by calculating the level of purity of the phases formed and looking at the microstructure. The variation of CaCO3 was 0.95, 1.00, 1.05 and 1.10 mole using the wet mixing method. The samples were calcined at 800 ° C for 10 hours, and sintered at 820 ° C for 20 hours. Synthesized samples were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD’s chacterization results show that the level of purity of the formed phases increases with increasing Ca levels with maximum point at BPSCCO-2212/1.10 mole. The highest volume fraction was 79,06% in the BPSCCO-2212/1.10 sample. While the lowest volume fraction was 72.10% in the BPSCCO-2212/0.95 sample. Meanwhile, the highest degree of orientation was 20.59% at BPSCCO-2212/0.95. The lowest degree of orientation was 8.46% at BPSCCO-2212/1.10. SEM’s chacterization results show of all samples have been oriented altought not perfect yet and have relatively little space between slabs (voids).

The chemical reactions and the compositional characteristics of liquids which lead to the phase formation of the Bi(Pb)-2223 [(Bi, Pb): Sr: Ca: Cu: O] superconductor have been studied for a precursor composition of Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2.2Cu3Ox. The combined techniques of quenching, powder x-ray diffraction, differential thermal/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the subsolidus phases and the presence of liquid. Samples were annealed under purified air and under a volume fraction mixture of 7.5% O2/92.5% Ar. The effects of Ag in both the pure air and the 7.5% O2/92.5% Ar experiments were also studied. Results are discussed with respect to their processing implications.

The superconducting material BPSCCO-2212 with doping Pb = 0,2 has been synthesized by the wet mixing method. Calculation is caried out at 800 °C for 10 hours. While sintering is done at 825 °C, 830 °C, 835 °C and 840 °C for 20 hours. The synthesis result were characterized by XRD X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The XRD spectrum analysis results that have been processed using celref, show that in general the samples produced have formed the BPSCCO-2212 phase (indicated the presence of Bi-2212 peaks) and have been oriented (indicated the existence of peaks with h = k = 0, l even number). For the calculation result obtanced the highest volume fraction value at 830 °C sintering temperature with a value FV = 66,97 % and the highest degree of orientation at 825 °C with a value of P = 76,54 %. The results of the SEM photo recorder generally show that the crystals formed are oriented.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.
