Kinetics of Solidification and Crystallization of Liquid Axial Zone of Fe-C Alloys in Cylindrical Molds by V. Khrychikov, O. Semenov, Y. Aftandiliants, S. Gnyloskurenko, T. Semenova, H. Meniailo

“…The technique for calculating the mass and time of introduction a graphitizing modifier into the axial zone of rolling rolls made of hypereutectoid steel with 1.7% C is proposed to reduce the negative impact of cementite, chromium and molybdenum carbides on the structure of the axial zone of the rolls. The obtained curves can also be used to assess the accuracy of computer modeling of the processes of Fe-C alloys solidification and further adaptation of mathematical models by the correction of thermophysical coefficients, the values of which are not always known in the liquidus-solidus temperature range.…”

Exploring the Circumstellar Environment of Tycho’s Supernova Remnant. II. Impact on the Broadband Nonthermal Emission by Ryosuke Kobashi, Shiu-Hang Lee, Takaaki Tanaka, Keiichi Maeda

“…This difference can be at least partially attributed to the present 1D setup of the model, which does not account for the clumpy and multidimensional structure of the CSM. Our model provides predictions for the long-term evolution of the broadband spectrum, which can be used to further probe Tycho's surrounding environment in the future, a key to resolving the long-standing issue of Type Ia supernova progenitor channels.…”
