Aços avançados de alta resistência: avaliação da microestrutura e propriedades dos aços DP 600 E DP 780

This work aims to study the Dual-Phase 600 and 780 steels, which are part of technology development project materials for the automotive industry. It is worth underscoring the antagonistic properties as the Dual-Phase steel assemble, high mechanical strength and elongation due its microstructure, ferrite and martensite. These properties are obtained by a intercritical heat treatment which facilitates the formation of a hardness metastable microstructure shaped plates of low carbon steels. The applicability of Dual Phase steel in the structure of vehicles is huge and its production is already on a commercial scale, so the study and development of this material implies lower cost in automobile manufacturing processes. The dual phase steels DP600 and DP780 underwent tensile, hardness and metallographic analysis to evaluate and comparing its properties. The results indicate that the DP780 steel has higher strength and hardness than the DP600 steel and its microstructure consists of martensite higher fraction which accounts for the higher resistance and hardness. However, the DP600 has higher conformability to DP780 steel

Identidade e estudos organizacionais: em direção a um novo paradigma?

This paper aimes to contribute to the analyzes of Caldas and Wood Jr (1997) concerning to the concept of identity. That concept has been developed in Organization Studies under the propositions of Albert and Whetten (1985). In that way, identity concept has been defined by the following characteristics: centrality, distinctiveness and continuity. Nevertheless, a new paradigm has been emerging within social science. In this paper, we present a synthesis on how the concept of identity has been discussed in Social Psychology and Cultural Studies. For both theoretical perspectives, the ideas of centrality and durability are put into doubt, as identity is seen as dynamic and fragmentary. Besides that, we intend to show how the new paradigm is getting formed within Organizational Studies, especially considering international context. Considering that the emerging organizational ideas concerning identity show proximity with those proposed by Social Psychology and Cultural Studies, we raise possible questions that the new paradigm will have to face.

A Murraya paniculata, é conhecida popularmente como murta-de-cheiro ou falsamurta, pertence à família Rutaceae e é uma espécie nativa da Índia que foi introduzida no Brasil. Essa espécie é utilizada na arborização de ruas e em jardins das cidades graças à copa densa e sua resistência a condições adversas. Pode ser utilizada também para formação de cerca vivas e, sua madeira branca tem alta durabilidade podendo ser utilizada em marcenarias. Na Ásia, esta espécie é considerada medicinal e as folhas e raízes são utilizadas para o tratamento de problemas intestinais, de reumatismo e tosse. Do ponto de vista químico, esta espécie acumula principalmente cumarinas e flavonóides, além de derivados do ácido cinâmico e alcalóides. No presente trabalho propomos determinar as temperaturas cardeais para a germinação de sementes de Murraya paniculata, além disso, analisamos a influência do teor de água na germinação para determinar se as sementes são recalcitrantes ou ortodoxas, e a influencia do potencial hídrico induzido por polietilenoglicol (PEG 6000). O aprofundamento dos estudos dessa espécie se faz importante por conta desta ser hospedeira alternativa do psilídeo Diaphorina citri, transmissor do ―greening‖ dos citros, doença que diminuiu a produção de citros nos últimos anos

Desenvolvimento e caracterização de dispositivos eletroluminescentes contendo uma blenda polimérica condutora e Zn2SiO4:Mn

Despite the great development of organic and polymeric electroluminescent materials, the large scale commercial application of devices made with these materials seems conditioned to specific cases, mainly due to the high cost and the low durability, in compared to conventional technologies. In this study was produced electroluminescent devices by a process simple, drop casting. Were produced electroluminescent films containing Zn2SiO4:Mn immersed in a conductive polymer blend with different thicknesses. The morphological characteristics of these films were studied by scanning electronic microscopy. These films were used in the manufacture of electroluminescent devices, in which the light emission properties of the developed material were evaluated. The blend was composed of the conductive polymer Poly(o-methoxyaniline), doped with p-toluene sulfonic acid, and an insulating polymer, Poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymer Poly(vinylidene fluoride-cotrifluoroethylene). To this blend was added Zn2SiO4:Mn, thereby forming the composite. A first set of devices was obtained using composites with different weight fraction of polymeric and inorganic phases, which were deposited by drop casting over ITO substrates. Upper electrodes of aluminum were deposited by thermal evaporation. The resulting device architecture was a sandwich type structure ITO/ composite/ Al. A second set of devices was obtained as self-sustaining films using the best composite composition obtained for the device of the first set. ITO electrodes were deposited by RF-Sputtering, in both faces of these films. The AC electrical characterization of the devices was made with impedance spectroscopy measurements, and the DC electrical characterization was performed using a source/ meter unit Keithley 2410. The devices light emission was measured using a photodiode coupled to a digital electrometer, Keithley 6517A. The devices electrooptical characterization showed that the...

Análise do desgaste em ferramentas de diamantes nacionais

Três tipos de diamantes foram observados neste trabalho, para determinar qual apresenta a melhor relação entre desgaste e tempo de vida de um dressador de ponta única. A metodologia empregou o dressamento de um rebolo de óxido de alumíno e, a cada vinte passes, com avanço da profundidade de dressagem de 40 μm por passe, registrou uma imagem da ponta da ferramenta em um estereoscópio. O dressador foi então recolocado na retificadora para a realização de novas dressagens até o fim de vida do diamante. O critério para o fim do ensaio foi o faiscamento gerado pelo contato do rebolo com a base do dressador. Foram realizados três ensaios para cada tipo de diamante. O Mato Grosso apresentou os maiores desgastes de área, e o Brasil Extra, o menor. O CVD nacional teve desempenho parecido com o do Brasil Extra, mas com tempo maior de dressagem nos ensaios. Ou seja, apresentou baixo desgaste e durabilidade maior.

Conservação de goiabas ‘Pedro Sato’ minimamente processadas e irradiadas

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation associated with modified atmosphere in cold storage of guava ‘Pedro Sato’ minimally processed, checking their physical-chemical characteristics. Were used guavas from the region of Vista Alegre do Alto/São Paulo/Brazil. After harvest, fruits were immediately transported to the Fruit and Vegetables Laboratory from the Agroindustrial Management and Technology Department, Agronomic Sciences College - UNESP - Botucatu / SP, where they were kept at 10 ° C and 90-95% RH in cold storage, for 12 days. In the laboratory, fruits were selected by size and lack of defects in order to standardize the lot and then were cut into slices 0.5 cm thick. We used the completely randomized design, with factorial design 5 x 5, with three replications. The first factor consisted of the following effects: control 1 (without package or irradiation), control 2 (polystyrene package/PS + package low density polyethylene/LDPE and without irradiation), treatment 1 (PS + LDPE and 0.2 kGy ), treatment 2 (PS + LDPE and 0.6 kGy) and treatment 3 (PS + LDPE and 1.0 kGy). The second factor consisted of the evaluation periods: 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. The analyses were: firmness, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), maturity index, pH, breathing behavior. In the end of this work it was concluded that the lower dose of radiation associated with modified atmosphere promoted positive effect on physical-chemical characteristics of guava ‘Pedro Sato’, providing fruits with higher quality and durability, due to higher maintenance of pulp firmness, the highest pH and soluble solids obtained. Regarding the storage days, there were no beneficial effect of the treatments during storage, mainly due to the sensitivity of fruits submitted to gamma irradiation, where only the early days provided better values for the variables.
