The test for estimating physical working capacity at the fatigue threshold (PWCft), previously validated young men, was evaluated use with elderly men and women. A sample of 27 volunteer subjects (67·6 ± 5·6 years, 11 male, 16 female) divided into three matched groups: (1) controls (n = 10), (2) low intensity (70% PWCft) training group 10) (3) high (85% 7). were tested PWCft before after 10 weeks exercise on cycle ergometers (30min/day, 3 days/week). Controls did not but met once a week...
The structure of high purity (99.99%) aluminium processed by equal channel angular pressing in the as pressed state after different number passes was examined using various stereological methods. An extreme inhomogeneity and complicated anisotropy observed along body rod-like specimens.
A structural study was performed on the austenitic steels Avesta 254 SMO and Avesta 654 after annealing at 700 C for 500, 3188 6170 h. Both steels initially show an unexpectedly large amount of Laves phase, followed by a relative slow development Sigma phase with equilibrium apparently not yet reached Thermodynamic calculations confirm that driving forces for alternative precipitates are very similar thus making it easy to form metastable precipitates only change slowly the equilibrium...
