Abrasion resistance of IV-RCC used to construct spillway concrete steps of South African dams by Poyo, Myezo

“…The durability index tests were conducted to get a general evaluation of the concrete’s microstructure. If the OPI values are acceptable (more than 9) then the concrete’s general microstructure would be accepted to be durable. …”

Order hardening of platinum alloys by Towle, Nicholas Richard

“…Specimens subjected to the annealing treatments were studied by means of optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy, in order to determine the effect of annealing on microstructure and structural order. Resistivity, XRD and OTA techniques were employed in order to study the mechanisms of ordering with temperature, but these techniques did not produce any significant results. …”
