Corrosion behavior of Fe amorphous/Al-12Si piston composites with core-shell structure by Yingdong Wang, Zuxiang Lin, Chengzhou Liu, Deyong Zhao, Chunqiong Li, Yuan Wang

“…As the doping content of Fe amorphous particles increases from 2 to 10%, the polarization resistance increases, indicating improved corrosion resistance; the inductance increases, suggesting that corrosion primarily occurs at the surface; Y0 increases, and n decreases, indicating a reduction in the depth of the corrosion reaction, and the stability of the surface protective oxide film is improved. However, when the doping content of Fe amorphous particles reaches 20%, the opposite effect occurs, and the corrosion resistance of the FACS decreases. …”

Performance of sewage sludge reuse in the manufacturing of fired bricks by K. Moulato, M. Ammari, L. Ben Allal

“…The brick samples were then shaped, dried, fired at 930 Celsius degree, and qualified by tests, including linear and mass shrinkage, porosity, water absorption, density, compressive strength, X-ray diffraction, and leaching.FINDINGS: The analyses by X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction of the sludge revealed the presence of mineral constituents, including calcite, silica, kaolinite, and dolomite and shows an important amount of silicon dioxide (31.6 percent) and aluminum oxide (11.5 percent). The sludge was classified as fine with a silty-clay character, with a plasticity index of 54.63 percent, and was therefore very plastic, and had trace element concentrations below the authorized standards. …”
