Effects of low plastic burnishing combined with self-oxygen diffusion on the hot corrosion behavior of the TA29 titanium alloy by Congjie Kang, Hongyun Luo, Jianming Cai, Duoqi Shi

“…The paper investigates the hot corrosion behavior of three types of specimens of TA29 Ti alloy after solution aging treatment (SAT), low plastic burnishing (LPB) and LPB combined with self-oxygen diffusion (LPB-OD) at 600 °C. The results show that the surface grains of LPB specimens were refined and produced a large number of dislocations, stacking faults, grain boundaries and subgrain boundaries. …”

Study on the Formation of Secondary Organic Aerosol by Ozonolysis of Citral in the Atmosphere by Chenxi Zhang, Xuesong Cao, Xiaomin Sun, Hengjun Peng

“…Thus, we apply quantum chemistry and kinetic calculations to investigate the ozonolysis of citral, which begins with the formation of primary ozonides (POZs) that decompose into Criegee intermediates (CIs). Although CIs have been previously implicated in tropospheric oxidation, the majority are simple compounds for their class, such as CH2OO• or CH3CHOO•. …”
