    Reaching Full Density of 100Cr6 PM Steel by Capsule Free Hot Isostatic Pressing of High-Velocity Compacted Material

    No full text
    Spherical gas atomised 100Cr6 steel powder, processed with the MMS-Scanpac\uae process to 95% density (agglomeration, followed by conventional pressing, low temperature sintering and re-strike using high velocity adiabatic compaction) has been fully compacted using capsule-free hot isostatic pressing. The material is characterised at different steps of the process and the results are discussed in this paper. Sintering steel powder with high content of carbon requires carbon control at sintering. By continuously measuring the atmosphere at sintering the ingoing gases are adjusted so that carbon control is achieved. Computational work has been made in order to determine how the sintering atmosphere should be adjusted based on the oxygen release and moisture content in the furnace at sintering

    Capping Efficiency of Various Carbonaceous and Mineral Materials for <i>In Situ</i> Remediation of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-<i>p</i>-dioxin and Dibenzofuran Contaminated Marine Sediments: Sediment-to-Water Fluxes and Bioaccumulation in Boxcosm Tests

    The efficiency of thin-layer capping in reducing sediment-to-water fluxes and bioaccumulation of polychlorinated dibenzo-<i>p</i>-dioxins and dibenzofurans, hexachlorobenzene, and octachlorostyrene was investigated in a boxcosm experiment. The influence of cap thickness (0.5–5 cm) and different cap materials was tested using a three-factor experimental design. The cap materials consisted of a <i>passive</i> material (coarse or fine limestone or a marine clay) and an <i>active</i> material (activated carbon (AC) or kraft lignin) to sequester the contaminants. The cap thickness and the type of active material were significant factors, whereas no statistically significant effects of the type of passive material were observed. Sediment-to-water fluxes and bioaccumulation by the two test species, the surface-dwelling Nassarius nitidus and the deep-burrowing Nereis spp., decreased with increased cap thickness and with addition of active material. Activated carbon was more efficient than lignin, and a ∼90% reduction of fluxes and bioaccumulation was achieved with 3 cm caps with 3.3% AC. Small increases in fluxes with increased survival of Nereis spp. indicated that bioturbation by Nereis spp. affected the fluxes
