The joining of Inconel 600 and AISI 316L plates using compound flux of 50% SiO2 + 50% TiO2 by activated tungsten inert gas (ATIG) welding process has been addressed in this article. The various mechanical and metallurgical studies were performed on the un-peened ATIG (UP-ATIG) dissimilar weldmen...

Keyhole gas tungsten arc welding (K-TIG) was used to weld AISI 316L stainless steel of mid-thickness (thickness ranging 6–13 mm). 316L plates of 10-mm thickness were jointed using an I-groove in a single pass without filler metal. The effects of welding parameters on the fusion zone profile wer...

Ag and Nb were chosen as modifying elements, and their effects on the microstructure, antibacterial property and corrosion resistance of 316L were studied by antibacterial experiment, electrochemical experiment and microscopic analysis. The results show that niobium can refine the grains of 316L...

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescent (XRF) measurement techniques have been used for non-destructive characterization of surface oxide films on Type 316L austenitic stainless steels that were exposed to simulated primary water environments of pressurized water reactors (PWR)...

The objective of this work is to identify microstructural variables that lead to the large scatter of the relative resistance of 316 grade stainless steels to hydrogen environment embrittlement. In slow displacement rate tensile testing, two almost identical (by nominal chemical composition) hea...

The present communication reports on the substantial improvement in monotonic and cyclic strength of austenitic 316L stainless steel nanostructured during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The ultimate tensile strength and the fatigue limit after ECAP exceed 1.3 GPa and 550 MPa, respectivel...

The network dislocation density in structural materials is one of the important factors of radiation-induced deformation. Hence creep deformation under 17 MeV proton irradiation was examined for SUS 316L with 5% and 25% cold work at ∼300 °C. At relatively low stresses, irradiation creep of 5%C...

The complete separation of ultrafine silicon particles and silicon carbide (SiC) particles is very difficult, which is a great dilemma for recycling high purity kerf loss silicon (Sik) from solar grade silicon cutting slurry waste (SoG-Siw). Here, we report a novel carbothermic reduction process...

The recovery of silicon from the waste industrial silicon slag is urgent for the cleaner production of silicon industry. The feasibility and optimization of recovering and purifying the metallic silicon from silicon slag are investigated by a united technology of combining electromagnetic separa...

The present study is focused on the development and characterization of an innovative substrate to optimize the axial resolution of ultrasonic transducers on a silicon substrate that is dedicated to ultrasound imaging. The substrate must efficiently dampen wave propagation to avoid degradation o...

The terminal actinide fluoride bonds in (C5Me5)2ThF2(py) (py = pyridine) and (C5Me5)2UF2(O=PR3) (R = Me, Ph) react with two equivalents of Me3SiN3 in toluene to form the polymeric thorium bis(azide), [(C5Me5)2Th(N3)2]∞, and a new class of monometallic uranium bis(azide) complexes, (C5Me5)2U(N3)...

Four new tetravalent uranium fluorides have been obtained by using hydrothermal route from a hexavalent uranium precursor (UO2(NO3)2·6H2O or UO2(SO4)·4H2O) in the presence of hydrazine and HF in water. The major phase is the hydrated uranium fluoride U3F12(H2O) (1) and in some conditions, four...

Multiphase mixtures of the uranium fluoride compounds UFx with x = 3, 4, 4.5, 5, whose local U–F bonding geometry is conserved, may result from UF6 reduction. One method for identifying multiphase mixtures is optical vibrational spectroscopy, but experimental Raman and IR spectra for UFx compou...

1.1. Isradipine and lacidipine, two new drugs that are members of the nitro-aryl-l,4-dihydropyridine family, produced inhibition of both growth cultures and oxygen consumption on epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi Tulahuen strain, at micromolar concentrations.2.2. Isradipine was found to be the ...

The photostability of Lacidipine, a dihydropyridine drug used in the treatment of mild and moderate hypertension, was studied in solutions exposed to UV-A radiations. The effects of the solvent (ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane), drug concentration and radiation wavelength on the drug photostab...

The aim of the present research work is to formulate lacidipine (LAC) loaded niosomes formulation for the management of hypertension by thin film hydration technique. The developed formulations were statistically optimized by four factors, three levels Box–Behnken design and were evaluated for ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate virtual population pharmacokinetic using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for evaluating bioequivalence of oral lacidipine formulations in dogs. The dissolution behaviors of three lacidipine formulations including one commercial p...

Co-amorphous solid dispersion (C-ASD) systems have attracted great attention to improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs, but the selection of an appropriate stabilizer to stabilize amorphous forms is still a huge challenge. Herein, C-ASD system of two clinical combined used drugs (lacidip...

The purpose of this study was to prepare fast-dissolving film strips containing lacidipine (LCDP) nanoparticles for transbuccal administration. Nanoparticles were prepared using the solvent-antisolvent sonoprecipitation technique. The influence of different antisolvent phase stabilizers on parti...

This study was designed to investigate whether lacidipine elicited a protective role on cardiomyocyte against apoptosis induced by TNF-α. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly assigned into different groups. TUNEL staining was utilized to detect apoptosis, and caspase-3 and caspse-12 were d...
