Indentation Relaxation Behavior of the Austenitic Heat-Resistant Steel Sanicro25 by Lin Tong, Cao Tieshan

“…The results show that: the hardness/stress and time patterns of indentation relaxation at different depths are in accordance with the relationship similar to that proposed by Choi; the stress index is about 7 according to the power rate relationship, and the relaxation coefficient μ is about 0.3, whose inverse matches well with the stress index obtained from the indentation creep test; there is a pile-up phenomenon at the edges of the residual indentation on the surface of the specimen, which is caused by plastic flow of the material along the direction of the indenter after the formation of a completely plastic region at the bottom of the indenter. …”

Paleomagnetism in Lake Pannon: Problems, Pitfalls, and Progress in Using Iron Sulfides for Magnetostratigraphy by Nick A. Kelder, Karin Sant, Mark J. Dekkers, Imre Magyar, Gijs A. vanDijk, Ymke Z. Lathouwers, Orsolya Sztanó, Wout Krijgsman

“…Alternating field demagnetization cannot resolve the individual components: it yields polarities corresponding to the dominant component resulting in erratic polarity patterns. Interpretation of LT and HT components allows a reasonably robust magnetostratigraphic correlation to the geomagnetic polarity time scale with the base of PAET‐30 at ~8.4 Ma and its top at ~6.8 Ma (average sedimentation rate of ~30 cm/kyr). …”
