Abstract

Two steps CrAlFeSi coating has been fabricated on low carbon steel via mechanical alloying methods and its oxidation properties have been elucidated thoroughly. First, Al coating was deposited on the low carbon steel substrate via mechanical alloying for 1 h. Afterward, CrAlFeSi coating was deposited on Al coating using the same technique for 2 h. The effect of annealing at 650 °C on the oxidation behavior of two steps CrAlFeSi coatings was examined thoroughly. The microstructure of the coating layer before and after annealing was relatively similar. Microholes and microcracks were found in the coating layer of the substrate before and after annealing. Intermetallic phases were observed in the samples along with the major elements. The mass gain after cyclic oxidation at 800 °C in the air atmosphere for a substrate with two coating layers reduced by a factor of 10 compared to the substrate without coating layer, which is likely due to the formation of Al2O3 on the outer layer during the oxidation process. The thin layer of Al2O3 protects the inner layer from severe oxidation. Therefore, the two steps coating of CrAlFeSi on the low carbon steel can be used as an alternative method for reducing the oxidation at high temperature.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
