    Partial Austenitisation and Tbf Steel Composed of Ferrite, Bainitic Ferrite, and Austenite
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Erişir, Ersoy; Bilir, Oğuz Gürkan; Sözer, Yunus Emre; Ararat, Özge; Davut, Kemal
    A TRIP-aided bainitic-ferritic (TBF) steel with a chemical composition of Fe-0.19C-1.7Mn-1.09Si-0.51Al-0.05Nb (wt-%) was partially austenitised from a hot-rolled martensitic initial microstructure. After the hot rolling, the martensitic specimens were reheated to different intercritical temperatures and then austempered at 350 degrees C. Thus, the effect of the initial microstructure of TBF steel on intercritical austenite formation during partial austenitisation was studied. The microstructures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and the tensile properties were tested. Microstructural observations revealed that a final microstructure of fine ferrite, bainitic ferrite, and retained austenite can be obtained. The steel partial austenitised at 770 degrees C showed a good combination of ultimate tensile strength and total elongation.

    Investigating Triple Superphosphate for Lead Removal From Aqueous Solutions
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Souley Garba, Mahamane Chapiou; Kaya, Erol; Gökelma, Mertol; Seyrankaya, Abdullah
    The aim of this research is to investigate monocalcium phosphate monohydrate [Ca(H2PO4)2. H2O] also called triple superphosphate (TSP) for the removal of lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. In this study, TSP was selected amongst various phosphate-based materials and fertilizers to act as the source of orthophosphate (PO43-) which is a powerful tool for metal fixation in soil and water. Thermodynamic equilibrium dissolution-precipitation relationships for the systems of Pb-H2O and Pb-PO43--H2O were drawn with the aid of Eh-pH stability diagrams to determine the predominance areas of different species. The lead phosphate compounds, identified through the stability area diagrams, were verified with the batch precipitation tests performed with standard solutions of lead and TSP at different conditions. It was observed that, depending upon solution conditions, TSP can precipitate 99.9% of the lead from the solution. Lead precipitates, analyzed by x-ray diffraction, showed the formation of lead phosphate compounds. The mechanism of TSP for the removal of lead from aqueous solutions is discussed.
