Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Properties of Blended Cements with Clinoptilolite (open access)

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Properties of Blended Cements with Clinoptilolite

Article investigates the effect of elevated temperature on properties of clinoptilolite blended cements. Clinoptilolite was used at 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % replacement by weight for Portland cement while sand and water quantities were kept constant in all mix designs. The mortars with 5 % or 10 % cliniptilolite substitution have compressive strength exceeding 42.5 MPa after being subjected to 400 °C and 500 °C.

Exceptional increase in the creep life of magnesium rare-earth alloys due to localized bond stiffening (open access)

Exceptional increase in the creep life of magnesium rare-earth alloys due to localized bond stiffening

Article describes study in which researchers attribute the 600% increase in creep life in a prototypical Mg–rare earth (RE)–Zn alloy to multiple mechanisms caused by RE–Zn bonding—stabilization of a large volume fraction of strengthening precipitates on slip planes, increase in vacancy diffusion barrier, reduction in activated cross-slip, and enhancement of covalent character and bond strength around Zn solutes along the c-axis of Mg using atomic-scale characterization and first principles calculations.
