Deformation-Induced Dissolution and Precipitation of Nitrides in Austenite and Ferrite of a High-Nitrogen Stainless Steel

Methods of Mössbauer spectroscopy and electron microscopy have been used to study the effect of the severe plastic deformation by high pressure torsion in Bridgman anvils on the dissolution and precipitation of chromium nitrides in the austenitic and ferritic structure of an Fe_71.2Cr_22.7Mn_1.3N_4.8 high-nitrogen steel. It has been found that an alternative process of dynamic aging with the formation of secondary nitrides affects the kinetics of the dissolution of chromium nitrides. The dynamic aging of ferrite is activated with an increase in the deformation temperature from 80 to 573 K.

Voltage stabilization system for power installations in mines

The authors analyze feasibility of voltage stabilization for permanent magnet synchronous generators in independent variable-frequency power networks. The method of voltage stabilization is based on series connection of the generator and a semiconductor converter generating wattless power. Basic energy characteristics of the semiconductor converter and synchronous generator are analytically defined, frequency constraints of the proposed method are found, and rational frequency range and overall power of the system are determined.
