Heat treatment is used to counter these effects. By heating the steel wire to 650 C, the process of recrystallization occurs under the influence of the strain fiends produced during deformation. Small ...

Crystallization is a common method in synthetic chemistry that allows the isolation and purification of compounds, and also aids their characterization through techniques such as X-ray ...

We are also studying the relationship between the surface chemistry of materials and their propensity to suffer from mineral scaling. Understanding the relationship between surfaces and ...

A seed crystal can be dropped into a saturated solution of sodium acetate. The solution will suddenly crystallize and turn to solid. Alternately, the solution may be slowly poured out onto a seed ...
