Electro-slag welding

...C). Addition of the following alloying elements to the feed wire help to increase impact resistance: 0.04% cerium, 0.2% each of manganese, chromium and nickel. Adjusting the composition of the flux to give a basicity of 0.5–2.0 by addition of 10–30% CaF2 and 10% Al2O3 also helps to improve impact resistance of the weld. Post-weld heat treatments can also improve the...

Electrochemical Machining (ECM)

...C. Inlet pressures are 137–2060 k Pa, outlet pressures 0–310 k Pa. The anodic dissolution of the workpiece produces hydrogen, necessitating special safety precautions. Large quantities of “sludge” are formed which must be removed by filtration. After machining the workpiece must be cleaned and oiled to prevent corrosion. Complex internal ratchet forms in steel...

Understanding Classical terms

...c’ rather than ‘k’, ‘ae’ rather than ‘ai’) and the more familiar English names where possible (Achilles not Akhilleus, Athens not Athenae). The important thing is to be consistent. We sometimes use Greek or Latin terms, usually because there is no exact English equivalent. For example, the 'agora' refers not only to the marketplace in Greek cities but also...

Electrochemical Grinding (ECG)

...C and 15–70 kPa pressure. As the electrolyte is corrosive, machine parts must be corrosion resistant and workpiece must be thoroughly cleaned after grinding. High throughput is desirable since the corrosive electrolyte means machines cannot be shut down for long without electrolyte removal and thorough cleaning. Maximum wheel contact arc length should not exceed 20–25...

Does maths offer a better model for multi-candidate elections?

...C and 65 percent prefer C to A. Condorcet didn’t say what should happen in such a case. His proposal refers only to situations in which there is a single candidate, the “Condorcet candidate,” who would beat every other candidate in head-to-head contest. He suggested that a Condorcet candidate, if there is one, should win. As sensible as this sounds, both plurality...

How can a genetic mutation shared by many Brazilians help in the fight against cancer?

...C Camargo Cancer Center in São Paulo, Brazil. He is extraordinarily susceptible to cancer. So too are many members of his extended family; cancer is so common among them – and premature death so painfully familiar – that until they learned very recently of the cause, some believed their family was cursed. Gomez’s is not the only family affected. The ‘curse’...
