ESTABLISHING EMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIPS TO PREDICT POROSITY LEVEL AND CORROSION RATE OF ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA-SPRAYED ALUMINA COATINGS ON AZ31B MAGNESIUM ALLOY

Establishing empirical relationships to predict porosity level and corrosion rate of atmospheric plasma-sprayed alumina coatings on AZ31B magnesium alloy

Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are successfully used in many industrial applications, where high wear and corrosion resistance with thermal insulation are required.In this work, empirical relationships were developed to predict the porosity and raspberry hershey kisses corrosion rate of alumina coatings by incorporating independently controllable

Multipoint investigation of the source region of storm-time chorus

In this case study we investigate the source region of whistler-mode chorus located close to the geomagnetic equator at a radial distance of 4.4 Earth radii.We use measurements from the four Cluster spacecraft at separations of less than a few hundreds of km, recorded during the geomagnetic storm of 18 April 2002.The waveforms of the electric field
