He also identified in such conditions some fine-grain structures, which can improve a uniform-elongation of the nugget.

Subsequently, the resulted surfaces were finished by abrasion using silicon carbide with low grain sizes.
Analysing the hardness map, it can say that sometimes there are large gaps between measured values of distinct interest areas which could be caused by inhomogeneity and changes in the grain size of the materials in the newly formed structures.

Nie et.al found that Er in alloy can play an important role like that of Sc and Zr, which could optimize grain structure, and improve comprehensive mechanical properties, thermal stability and weldability.
We also predict that interaction energy of Al-Er is much negative under the same temperature, which showed that bonding ability and interaction of Al and Er is stronger, and they have a great tendency to combine in alloy solution, the composition super-cooling in the interface occurred easily during the solidification, naturally prone to segregate, even though the concentration of Er is small, the Al3Er phase precipitate preferential at interface, which act as the center of heterogeneity nucleus, naturally remarkable refine grain size.
Conclusion 1)Er concentration in Al-Er alloy shows a negative deviation from Rault's Law at 1073K, deviation degree is larger at the low concentration range, therefore real concentration is low, mainly due to Er atoms are prone to segregate at interface or dislocation; 2)The interaction parameters between Al and Er is LAl-Er=-204.29exp(-T/2000) kJ/mol, which shows the bonding ability and interaction energy between Al and Er are strong, and Al and Er have a great tendency to combine in alloy solution, the composition super-cooling in the interface occurs easily during the solidification, intensively refine grain size; 3)The minimum of mixing enthalpy, excess Gibbs energy and excess entropy are -38.5 kJ /mol, -27.6kJ/mol, -10.5J/mol respectively in the whole concentration range, which indicate that properties of alloy solution are stable.

The tests conducted on specimens and the numbers and dimensions of each kind of specimens produced in this study are different with each other.
Obviously, the size and shape of IOT grains are smaller and more irregular respectively than those of NS ones.
Comparing to mortars with NS as fine aggregate, those with IOT as fine aggregate, the size and shape of IOT grains are both finer and more irregular respectively. 2.
In summary, comparing to reference sand, as fine aggregate, iron ore tailings can enhance compressive strength related to its finer and more irregular grain shape and the ability on complicating porous structure in mortars.

Therefore, recently improved efficiency of TiO2 based photocatalysts is associated with the synthesis of the anatase crystalline particles containing a greater number of unstable faces (001) [5-6], or thermodynamically less stable TiO2 modifications, such as brookite [6-7].
Thus, having been heated to 300°С in vacuum and in air, TiO2 film structure can be represented as an amorphous matrix with separate anatase crystal grains.
Temperature increase to 400°С leads to increase of existing anatase crystal grains and formation of new rutile crystal grains in TiO2 films, but does not transform it into crystalline state.

However, samples subjected to bacterially induced mineralization showed much less damage, and the newly formed carbonate grains were not removed in detectable amounts.

Introduction The prolonged life-expectancy leads to an increasing number of people that require the replacements of degenerated or damaged tissues by artificial materials.
In all studied cold swaged (with minimal section reduction 75%) and solution treated specimens the microstructure consists of equiaxed β-grains (see Fig. 6).
During aging treatment (450°C/8h/water quenched) of cold swaged (section reduction 90%) specimen with the lowest oxygen content fine needle-like α-particles precipitated in grain interiors.
There can be also observed coarser precipitates on grain boundaries, which can be also distinguished in light micrographs (Fig. 7a,b).

After compaction and thermomechanical processing, the alloy is recrystallised to generate a coarse microstructure showing high grain aspect ratio to avoid as much as possible that the creep resistance be impaired by grain boundary sliding or the formation of grain boundary creep pores.
Therefore, an estimate of εc can be obtained directly from only the measurement of height h of a larger number of trajectories.

Mainly because the sand ratio increases to a certain extent, proppant grain distribution is dense, the reunion phenomenon occurred in a fracturing fluid,and fracturing fluid viscosity makes the dense sand particles group act like a big particles, equivalent to greatly increase the particle diameter, causing particle settling velocity increase.This phenomenon is also referred to as "particle reunion" effect. 3.4 correlations for critical sedimentation velocity and particle settling velocity Through the analysis of the above experimental results, considering the influences of sand ratio, temperature and foam quality on proppant settling velocity and critical settling velocity of fracturing fluid, the type(1) and (2) are fitting results to show correlations form calculated the particle settling velocity ut and critical settling velocity Vcr of fracturing fluid, the average error are 12.32% and 13.5% respectively:
