Effect of forging sequence and heat treatment on microstructure of high-duty power-plant shaft made of Cr-Mo ultra-high strength steel by Skubisz P., Lisiecki Ł.

“…The material was studied in the as-forged, normalized and heat-treated states to observe the behavior of the hot-formed material and the effects of cooling conditions on the microstructure during the final heat treatment. It was found that the use of large feed ratios on cogging and varied cooling allowed to suppress the adverse effects of the inevitable abnormal grain growth, resulting in 1–2 ASTM in forged condition and reaching 6 ASTM and 8/9 ASTM after quenching in oil and water spray, respectively, which allowed a corresponding notched impact strength of 44÷48 and 85÷122 J/cm2 in the critical region of the forged shaft after tempering.…”

Spatially-implicit modelling of disease-behaviour interactions in the context of non-pharmaceutical interventions by Notice Ringa, Chris T. Bauch

“…Interestingly, varying the initial number of individuals practicing NPIs does not significantly impact the epidemic final size. Also, if initial source infections are surrounded by protective individuals, there are parameter regimes where increasing the initial number of source infections actually decreases the infection peak (instead of increasing it) and makes it occur sooner. …”
