ВВЕДЕНИЕ

Настоящее пособие создано для дисциплины «Лингвистическая подготовка –


технический перевод» в рамках программы опережающей подготовки (уровень –
магистратура), ориентированной на инвестиционные проекты фонда инфраструктурных
и образовательных программ «Роснано» в области производства погружных
электронасосов для нефтедобычи и их узлов с наноструктурными покрытиями.
Цель настоящего издания – дать необходимый минимум знаний о специфике
английского научного текста и сформировать базовые грамматические и лексические
навыки, необходимые для понимания и перевода научно-технической литературы
указанного профиля. Особое внимание уделяется грамматическим явлениям английского
научного текста, не имеющим аналогов в русском языке и существенно затрудняющим
процесс перевода.
Грамматический материал иллюстрируется как примерами, не содержащими
сложной технической терминологии, так и усложненным лексическим материалом.
Примеры преимущественно заимствованы из современных периодических научных
изданий и рассчитаны на средний и средневысокий уровень языковой подготовки
обучаемого (уровень вузовской программы обучения иностранному языку для
технических специальностей).
Помимо грамматических аспектов значительное внимание уделено так
называемым переводческим трансформациям, составляющим основу техники перевода и
позволяющим осуществлять профессиональное преобразование исходного текста в целях
создания равноценного ему в смысловом и стилистическом отношении текста перевода.
Наиболее значимые сведения заключены в рамку и выделены лиловым фоном.
Данной информации рекомендуется уделить особое внимание, поскольку низкая степень
ее усвоения существенно увеличивает вероятность грубой смысловой ошибки.
Уточняющая информация приводится в рамке и выделена зеленым фоном. Как
правило, это второстепенные сведения, которые расширяют представления о нормах
английской научной речи, но в меньшей степени влияют на качество перевода.
Осуществлять переход к нужному разделу пособия рекомендуется по оглавлению,
элементы которого оформлены в виде гиперссылок. В тексте пособия также используется
система дополнительных ссылок для быстрого перехода к тематически связанному
материалу, а также внешним ресурсам.
Пособие рассчитано на 108 часов учебных часов, в том числе 38 часов аудиторной
работы и 70 часов самостоятельной работы.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 5


1. СПЕЦИФИКА НАУЧНО-ТЕХНИЧЕСКОГО ТЕКСТА

Научно-технический текст – тип специального текста, основная функция


которого информировать специалистов об актуальных и наиболее значимых достижениях
в конкретной области человеческой деятельности. Письменная форма речи отличается от
устной употреблением особых лексико-грамматических средств и в целом ориентирована
на принцип информационной достаточности, объяснительной полноты в отсутствие
реального собеседника. Это приводит к необходимости развернутого синтаксиса
(максимум второстепенных членов предложения), строгого лексического отбора
(минимум расплывчатых фраз) и в целом употребления строго конвенциональных
средств передачи информации (отсутствие черт индивидуального стиля автора).

Выделяют следующие грамматические особенности научно-технической литературы:


1) развернутые предложения с подчинительной связью,
2) разнообразие конструкций с неличными формами глагола (инфинитив, герундий,
причастие),
3) активное использование атрибутивных сочетаний,
4) высокая частотность пассивных конструкций,
5) употребление специфических синтаксических моделей (эллипсис, инверсия,
эмфаза).

Расхождения в нормах синтаксического оформления информации между английским и


русским языком обусловливают необходимость различных замен и перестановок.

Для научного стиля также характерны:

 полные, а не сокращенные глагольные формы отрицания:

won't  will not


didn't  did not
can't  cannot

 использование форм отрицания с меньшим числом слов:

not . . . any  no
The analysis did not yield any new results  … yielded no new results
not . . . much  little
The government did not allocate much funding for the program  … allocated little funding …
not . . . many  few
This problem does not have many viable solutions  … has few viable solutions …

 косвенные, а не прямые вопросы:

What can be done to lower costs?  We wonder what can be done to lower costs.

 срединная (внутри глагольных форм) позиция наречий:

Then the solution can be discarded  The solution can then be discarded.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 6


Лексика научно-технической литературы также специфична и включает:

1. слова-термины – основные носители ключевой информации, представляющей


потребительскую ценность;
2. общеупотребительные слова (объем порядка 2500 единиц) – используются во всех
сферах профессиональной коммуникации независимо от тематики. Данную группу
образуют:
2а) слова, имеющие значения, отличные от значений в ненаучной речи,
2б) слова, не входящие в базовый курс иностранного языка,
2в) слова и словосочетания, обеспечивающие связность изложения,
2г) слова и словосочетания, передающие авторскую оценку излагаемых фактов,
2д) фразеологические словосочетания (см. приложение Д).

Термин – эмоционально-нейтральное слово (словосочетание), передающее определенное


понятие, относящееся к определенной области знаний. Многие термины построены по
принципу добавления значения к уже существующей единице (нередко из класса
бытовой лексики), поэтому прежде всего термин нужно опознать в речевом потоке:
table – стол  таблица
jacket – куртка  кожух
plate – тарелка  пластина, проводник
lip – губа  фланец
cushion – подушка  прокладка, амортизатор

Основной способ передачи терминов – эквивалентная замена принятыми в языке


перевода единицами. Если автор английского оригинала использует описательный
прием, говоря о понятии, для которого имеется русский термин, необходимо применить
этот термин. Если в русской терминологии для данного понятия нет термина, нужно
попытаться создать его, используя принятые способы:

Транскрипция:

nanocomposite – нанокомпозит
crystallization – кристаллизация
photoluminescence – фотолюминесценция

Калькирование:

superpower system – сверхмощная система


parasitic capacitance – паразитная емкость
absolute error – абсолютная ошибка
electrosmelting systems – электроплавильные системы
thermomechanical treatment – термомеханическая обработка

Описательный перевод:

counter-current – ток обратного направления (противоток)


mesh voltage – напряжение между смежными линиями многофазной системы
pocket – область в полупроводниковой подложке с противоположным типом проводимости

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 7


На протяжении всего текста необходимо соблюдать единообразие терминологии,
одновременно учитывая узкий контекст!

В целом лексика научно-технического текста лишена эмоциональности. Это


обусловливает практически абсолютную переводимость специальных текстов. Однако
нужно помнить о большей образности английской лексики, что нередко вынуждает
прибегать к нейтрализации:

extremely (крайне, чрезвычайно)  весьма


exciting (захватывающий, увлекательный)  интересный, перспективный, важный
fascinating (очаровательный, обворожительный)  интересный, любопытный
striking (поразительный, замечательный)  значительный, убедительный
vigorous (сильный, энергичный)  значительный
mysterious (загадочный, таинственный, непостижимый)  неясный, необъяснимый

Для научной литературы характерно употребление вместо исконно английских слов слов
французского происхождения и латинизмов:

ask  request
want  desire
allow  permit
try  endeavour
follow  pursue
begin  commence
finish, complete  finalize
increase  maximize
allow choice  optionalize
start  operationalize
use  utilize
make aware  familiarize

Равным образом в письменной научной речи крайне ограничено употребление фразовых


глаголов (т.е. глаголов с частицей, модифицирующей исходное значение):

build up  accumulate
help out  assist
make up for  compensate
set up  establish
cut down  reduce
go up  increase
come up with  create
find out  determine
look into  investigate
bring up  raise
get rid of  eliminate
turn down  reject
put up with  tolerate

Число подобных «десемантизированных» (т.е. не передающих саму научную


информацию) глаголов достаточно велико, что позволяет нередко унифицировать
переводные эквиваленты:

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 8


использовать  use, make use, utilize, exploit, employ, apply, adopt, realize и т.д.
обеспечивать  provide, allow for, ensure, attain, achieve, obtain, generate, offer и т.д.
достоинство  advantage, benefit, virtue, advance, attraction, strength, bonus, merit и т.д.
перспективный  advanced, viable, desirable, exciting, feasible, promising и т.д.

Другой лексической закономерностью перевода общенаучной лексики является


деинтернационализация, т.е. отказ от формализации при переводе поверхностного
значения:

critical (критический)  важный, значительный, существенный и т.д.


dramatic (драматичный)  сильный, значительный и т.д.
practical (практический)  приемлемый, целесообразный, возможный и т.д.
routinely (повседневно)  постоянно, обычным способом, без особых усилий и т.д.
horizon (горизонт)  перспектива, возможность и т.д.

Доминирующий тип информации в научно-техническом тексте – когнитивный.


Когнитивная информация – это объективные знания о внешней действительности и
сообщение таких знаний – доминирующая функция любого профессионально-
ориентированного текста. Помимо когнитивной информации выделяют информацию
эмоциональную, эстетическую, оперативную. Процент данных видов информации в
научно-технической литературе крайне мал.

Когнитивная информация обладает тремя ведущими свойствами, которые имеют


конкретное языковое воплощение:

ОБЪЕКТИВНОСТЬ АБСТРАКТНОСТЬ ПЛОТНОСТЬ


Настоящее время глагола Сложность и разнообразие Сокращение линейной
(вневременная логических структур протяженности текста
информация) синтаксиса
Модальность реальности Развернутый синтаксис, Лексические сокращения

В следующем фрагменте выделен ряд типичных особенностей, обозначенных выше:

Producing nanosized InN structures raises the possibility of making devices whose operation is based
on quantum effects. However, InN nanostructures grown from either indium chloride or indium oxide by
metal–organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) often contain unwanted impurities. Now, Ting-
Ting Kang and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have grown hexagonal InN
„nanoflowers‟ by a „self-catalysis‟ method that does not require either of these precursors or any foreign
catalysts.
In this process, hydrogen gas is deliberately introduced during MOCVD growth to promote the
formation of metallic indium, which acts as a catalyst for the formation of InN. Although hydrogen is
known to hinder the growth of InN by MOCVD processes, careful control of its flow rate allows the
synthesis to proceed.

Основная задача переводчика научно-технической литературы – передать


в максимально возможном объеме научные сведения в привычной для
русскоязычного читателя форме, минимизируя субъективный фактор

Адекватная задаче переводческая стратегия:

1) наиболее полно и точно передавать когнитивную информацию;


2) обеспечивать корректный перевод терминов;
3) сохранять нейтральный стиль изложения;
4) обеспечивать логичность и последовательность повествования.

Поставленная задача решается главным образом применением необходимых


переводческих трансформаций.

объективность, абстрактность и плотность информации.

Generally, the evolution of microstructure during tempering includes behavior, such as


the precipitation, spheroidization and coarsening of carbide particles, and the evolution of
thematrix through recovery and recrystallization processes. The behavior of carbide particles
during tempering is shown in Fig. 2. The needle-shaped cementite particles within martensite
laths, which nucleated at dislocations during the third stage of tempering, are observed as a
main feature when tempered at 673 K (Fig. 2a). As tempering temperature increases up to
773 K (Fig. 2b), most cementite particles begin to reduce in terms of the aspect ratio of the
cementite through a gradual spheroidization, although most cementite particles still maintain
a needle shape. Fig. 2c provides evidence of spheroidal cementite particles randomly
distributed within martensite laths, when tempered at 873 K. To explain the formation of an
extended region in engineering stress-strain curves, which is related to the occurrence of
dynamic recovery during tensile deformation, the source and sink of dislocations inthe
microstructure must be determined. However, cementite particles in tempered steels act only
as a barrier to the motion of dislocations during deformation. Accordingly, the distribution of
cementite particles would not play a role in the formation of an extended region, although it
has an influence on hardening rate during deformation.
The ratio of the wavelength λ of the pump radiation to the size of the nanoparticles is the
key parameter determining the length of elastic scattering of photons in a random medium,
and thus controlling the regime of nonlinear optical interactions. Decreasing the wavelength
of the pump radiation in our experiments, we observed a fast growth in SHG (Fig. 4) and
THG (Fig. 5) efficiencies, even though the transmission of nanopowder films is noticeably
lower for shorter pump wavelengths [22]. This wavelength dependence of harmonic-
generation efficiency in nanopowder films cannot be explained in terms of effective-medium
models [25], and thus indicates the important role of scattering effects. To quantify the
significance of scattering, we estimated the length of elastic scattering of photons for our
nanopowder films using the well-known Rayleigh-theory expression [26]

,
where f is the volume filling fraction of the SiC nanopowder and ε1 and ε2 are the dielectric
functions of the SiC nanocrystals and PMMA, respectively. With the pump wavelength
λ = 1.35 µm, f ∼0.01, and a ∼ 50 nm, the elastic scattering length, l ∼ 300 µm, exceeds the
film thickness (L ∼ 200 µm). As the pump wavelength is reduced to 1.15 µm, the elastic
scattering length, estimated for this wavelength as l ∼ 150 µm, becomes less than the
thickness of the nanopowder film. For both wavelengths, the condition λ/2πl << 1 is satisfied,
indicating that Anderson-type localization effects are still negligible, and scattering occurs in
the diffusion regime in our experiments. The efficiency of scattering is, however,
substantially increased when the elastic scattering length l becomes comparable to or even
less than the film thickness L, lowering the transmission of pump radiation through the film.
While transmitted pump photons are lost for harmonic generation, scattered pump photons
still have a chance to generate the second harmonic in the SiC nanocrystals or the third
harmonic in the polymer material. The role of scattering is thus to save pump photons for
diffuse harmonic generation.

The experimental apparatus consisted of holding a polished specimen between the jaws
of a vice so that a piezoelectric crystal oscillator traverses back-and-forth the specimen thus
machining the specimen by creating a depth of cut between the diamonds adhered on the
piezoelectric crystal and the workpiece material. Workpiece materials were polished with a
100 nmsized polishing compound. All samples were divided into four sections and each
section was analyzed prior to machining and after machining occurred. The workpieces were
mounted in a vice that was attached to a x-y-z linear slide in order to achieve accurate
positioning of the workpiece. The piezoelectric crystal was mounted on a steel framework
that was orthogonal to the workpiece. The whole unit was located within a tetrahedral space
frame to dampen excess vibrations (Fig. 7.12). When the crystal and workpiece were aligned,
the depth of cut was incremented in stages of 10 nm. The motion of the diamonds attached to
the piezoelectric crystal generates a machining effect that is caused by the action of
diamonds grinding into the workpiece material. Tracks or trenches are created by the
diamond grain gouging the surface of the material when an electric current is applied. The
material is removed until the end of the oscillating motion creates the material to plow.
The mechanism of oscillation can be described as a restricted bending mode that
simulates a shear displacement of the crystal. At this point it is normal procedure to know
how to estimate the number of grains contacting the surface of the workpiece. The estimation
of the number of active cutting grains is estimated quite simply by driving the diamond
coated piezoelectric ceramic at the prescribed specific metal removal rate into a piece of lead.
The impression that the grinding wheel produces in the length of lead is equal to the number
of cutting points that are active during the grinding stroke at that particular depth of cut. The
effect of oscillating the diamond-coated crystal is shown in Fig. 7.13.

2. This observation of rapid aging in the INCONEL 718 chips is similar to that observed in
Al 6061, wherein chips cut from solution-treated 6061 aged more rapidly and at lower
aging temperatures to reach a peak strength significantly greater than that of the
undeformed bulk material in a micro-crystalline state.
3. Figure 7.1 shows a single-crystalline structure, that moved relative towards the cutting
tool, whereupon material is deformed in front of the tool tip, the chip generation is

treated bulk material being dynamically aged during a high-temperature consolidation
process, thereby enabling the manufacture of fully dense, bulk nanostructured materials.
5. This aspect is illustrated schematically in Figure 8, wherein colony A, which is more
favorably oriented for deformation at the shear plane, undergoes SPD to result in a

2. НЕЛИЧНЫЕ ФОРМЫ ГЛАГОЛА
Неличные формы глагола – общее название для следующих отглагольных форм:
инфинитив, герундий, причастие. Каждая неличная форма может использоваться
самостоятельно или входить в состав оборота.
Как и личная форма (сказуемое), все неличные формы глагола имеют категорию
залога (актив/пассив), но не имеют категории времени, поэтому форма perfect указывает
не на прошедшее время, а на предшествование действию, выраженному сказуемым,
а форма continuous – на одновременность протекания двух действий.
Одна их самых больших трудностей при осмыслении английского оригинала

Инфинитив как вводный член предложения

Помимо указанных функций инфинитив входит в состав целого ряда вводных


конструкций, например:

to anticipate (a little) забегая вперед, следует сказать, что ...


to be sure конечно, несомненно
to begin with начнем с того, что ...; прежде всего; для начала
needless to say нечего и говорить; не стоит и говорить; само собой разумеется
not to mention не говоря уже о ...
to mention only (one) не говоря о других; мы упоминаем только
to put (it) in another way другими словами
to put it more exactly точнее говоря
to say the least по меньшей мере; мягко выражаясь
to say nothing of не говоря (уже) о, не считая
so to say так сказать, как говорится
suffice it to say достаточно сказать, что ...
to sum up / conclude суммируя (в заключение), следует сказать, что ...
to summarize подводя итоги, следует сказать, что ...
that is to say то есть, иначе говоря
to tell the truth по правде говоря, признаться
to take an example приведем пример; например
to name only a few и это лишь (малая) часть примеров

При переводе вводных конструкций с инфинитивом ориентируйтесь не на буквальный


перевод, а на эквивалентную замену русской конструкцией в целом. Это обеспечит
русскому тексту естественное звучание.

каузативная конструкция. Эта модель выражает внешнее принуждение или
возможность совершения субъектом какого-либо действия. Перевод каузативной
конструкции отличается от перевода прочих объектных оборотов.

Порядок слов при переводе будет зависеть от того, в какой форме – активной или
пассивной – стоит инфинитив. В случае с пассивным инфинитивом дополнения при
каузативном глаголе меняются местами.

Becquerel experimented with fluorescent substances to see if they emitted X-rays as well
as visible light. He was among the first to suspect that one radioactive element will
change into another one. Becoming interested in the new field of radioactivity he
discovered that radioactive substances emit three kinds of “rays” (“alpha”, “beta”, and
“gamma”). The discovery of X-rays and the discovery by Becquerel which followed
caused the Curies to study radioactivity.

1. Сделайте перевод следующих фраз с герундием:

1. The author has succeeded in basing his study on sound principles.


2. This work differs from the previous in embracing a wider range of subjects.
3. It is worth noting in this connection that there are at least two kinds of analysis practised
by science.
4. It is possible to change the timing and rate of flow by modifying the structure that
controls the outflows, that is, by changing the size and elevation of weirs, openings,
valves, and other orifices.
5. It is possible to develop a charge at a potential of millions of volts which can be applied
for accelerating elementary particles.
6. In one‟s search to understand what happens in this particular case, one cannot help being
influenced by the history of quite another problem.

2. Переведите, обращая внимание на герундий.

Electrostatic Forces

Forces of attraction and repulsion can be set up between bodies by treating them in
certain ways. The act of rubbing a body with a cloth is the easiest way to charge the rubbed
substance so that it can exert a force on another rubbed body. These forces are electrical in
origin. Two bodies treated in exactly the same manner repel each other, but it is possible to get
two bodies to attract each other by treating them in different ways. In charging a glass rod by
rubbing it with a cloth some of the charge on the rod can then be given to some other objects by
touching them to the charged rod. By making use of electrostatic induction it is possible to
charge conductors over and over again without giving up any of the original charge of the rod. A
conductor has the special property that the outer electrons of each atom are no longer bound to
their particular atom. They are free to flow anywhere in the conductor or into a connecting con-
ductor.

3. Переведите, обращая внимание на употребление герундия.

1. The process of electrization is not one of creating electricity but of transferring electrons
from one material to another.
2. When a rubber rod is charged by being rubbed with flannel and is brought in contact with
a ball or any other light object it charges the ball negatively and repels it.
3. Changing the resistance of a circuit is one of the methods of controlling the flow of
current in a circuit.
4. The rheostat is used in controlling current strength by changing its resistance.
5. We can both increase the resistance of the rheostat by making the diameter of the wire
smaller and decrease its resistance by making the diameter of the wire larger.
6. A machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by making use of the
interaction between a conductor and a magnetic field is called a generator or dynamo.
7. Having discovered the electrical properties of semiconductors scientists were able to use
them for making devices small in size.
8. Obtaining useful energy from mass was strictly forbidden by the old law of conservation
of mass.
9. Notice that the terms positive and negative charge have just been used without first
defining them. The entire next section is devoted to presenting this important new con-
cept of electric charge.
10. Boiling away a pot of water takes a great amount of energy.
11. In a liquid a single molecule will have some difficulty in breaking away from the main
body of molecules.
12. This can be done only by making quantitative measurements and attempting to describe
these measurements by some kind of law or formula.
13. Because of the great difficulty in compressing liquids or solids, we know that atoms must
exert strong repulsive forces on each other when compressed.

2.3. ПРИЧАСТИЕ

В английском языке различают причастие I и причастие II. Причастие I имеет


четыре формы:

MAKING BEING MADE


HAVING MADE HAVING BEEN MADE

Причастие II имеет только одну форму:

MADE

При этом оба причастия выполняют одинаковые функции в предложении.

ПРИЧАСТИЕ I
ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ:

When making experiments, one should follow a number of rules.


 Проводя эксперименты, необходимо соблюдать ряд правил.
We have developed another method, assuring greater performance.
 Мы разработали другой метод, что позволило нам повысить результативность.

В СОСТАВЕ ВВОДНОЙ КОНСТРУКЦИИ:


Allowing for …, – учитывая …,
Judging by …, – судя по …,
Broadly speaking …, – в общем говоря …,

ПРИЧАСТИЕ II
ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ:

The idea as stated by the scientist is not of any interest.


 Эта идея, сформулированная ученым, не представляет особой ценности.

ОБСТОЯТЕЛЬСТВО:

Remarkably modernized, the factory managed to double the output.


 Будучи существенно модернизированным, предприятие смогло удвоить выпуск.
If done properly, this technique can maximize the quality.
 В случае правильного применения, эта методика может максимизировать качество.

В СОСТАВЕ ВВОДНОЙ КОНСТРУКЦИИ:

As emphasised above, … – как подчеркивалось выше, …


Stated differently, … – другими словами, …

Варианты перевода причастий даны ниже.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 39


Причастие I участвует в образовании времен группы Continuous, выступая в роли
смысловой части сказуемого, например:
We are developing a new program.
 Мы (сейчас) разрабатываем новую программу.
В данном примере сказуемое имеет форму Present Continuous (используется причастие I),
глагол-связка to be не переводится.

Причастие II участвует в образовании времен группы Perfect, выступая в роли смысловой


части сказуемого, а также в образовании пассивных форм (см. подробнее здесь):
We have found a proper solution to the case.
 Мы нашли необходимое решение вопроса.
The estimates are considered in their article.
 Эти оценки рассматриваются в их статье.

Некоторые причастия I и II по форме совпадают с прилагательными, при переводе


важно правильно определить, какая из двух частей речи используется в данном случае:

A turning point – поворотный момент (поворачивающий)


The burning question – неотложный вопрос (горящий)
The rising generation – молодое поколение (поднимающееся)
The finished product – конечный продукт (законченный)

Ср.:
The theory advanced in the early 19th – теория, выдвинутая в начале XIX столетия
An advanced theory – передовая теория

An experiment convincing everybody – эксперимент, убеждающий всех


A convincing argument – убедительный довод

The changes involved in this process – изменения, связанные с этим процессом


An involved problem – сложная задача

Как видно, причастие, в отличие от прилагательного, может стоять после определяемого


слова и образовывать обороты.

Причастие II по форме совпадает с глаголом в простом прошедшем времени. Надо


помнить, что причастные обороты в функции определения в английском языке не
выделяются запятой, поэтому особенно важно до начала перевода правильно определить
сказуемое во фразе:
Heat resistant materials developed in the last decade produced a revolution in a number of
industries.
Developed не является здесь сказуемым, поскольку справа от него мы не находим
дополнения (in the last decade – обстоятельство времени), следовательно, истинным
сказуемым является слово produced правее, a developed – это причастие:
 Жаростойкие материалы, разработанные в прошлом десятилетии, произвели
революции в целом ряде отраслей.

electrodes being heated to a high temperature, the thermal velocity of some of the
conduction electrons in the metal becomes high enough for these electrons to escape.

Theory of Magnetism

A magnet is an object that can attract certain materials to itself. Such materials known as
magnetic materials are pure or alloyed iron, nickel and cobalt.
Ancient man knew of some magnetic as well as electrostatic phenomena. The ancient
Greeks thought magnetic and electric forces to be of common origin. However, by the sixteenth
century philosophers learned to base their laws of nature more on experiment than contemplation
and there being no experimental evidence of any relationship between magnetic and electrostatic
phenomena, they concluded that magnetic and electric effects were independent. No one was
able to find any force between a charged object and a magnet. The discovery that there is indeed
a force between a moving charge and a magnet was made accidentally in 1820 by Hans Christian
Oersted, a Danish physics teacher. At the end of a lecture on the subject he attempted to
demonstrate the lack of relationship between electricity and magnetism by turning a current next
to a magnetized needle. To his great astonishment he saw the needle making a great oscillation.
Thus the ancient doctrine that magnetism and electricity are related was suddenly given
new life. Magnetic field is quite analogous to electric field. It is a mathematical definition for the
purpose of simplifying calculations and making things easier to understand.

The thermal and electrical properties of thin films play vital roles in determining the
performance of many components and devices used in modern engineering systems. Many
measurements have demonstrated that the thermal conductivities of various thin films, as well as
the electrical conductivities of electrically conductive thin films, are much smaller than those of
their corresponding bulk materials [1–6]. The difference in the conductivities between thin films
and bulk materials is considered to be caused by the structure defect [7], boundary scattering
(surface scattering [8–10], and grain boundary scattering [11–13]).
For metallic thin films, theoretical models based on carrier scattering have been proposed
to predict the conductivities. In most of the considerations, the thermal conductivity of a thin
film is calculated from its proportional relation to the electrical conductivity via the Wiedemann–
Franz law [14–16] or a similar analogy [9]. Several experimental studies investigated either the
thermal conductivity or the electrical conductivity and used the electrical–thermal relation to
determine the other property [17, 18]. Although two methods [19, 20] that were used to measure

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 72


the thermal conductivity and specific heat may also be used to measure the electrical
conductivity, very few investigations deal with both conductivities together. Furthermore, most
of the previously studied thin films are deposited on substrates and the considerations of the
effects caused by the substrates are not sufficient.
For this reason, we report on measurements of the in-plane thermal conductivity of
suspended Pt nanofilms, for which there is no effect caused by a substrate. Also a four-wire
method is used to measure the electrical resistance. Results show that the electrical conductivity,
resistance-temperature coefficient, and in-plane thermal conductivity of the nanofilms are much
smaller than the corresponding bulk values, but the Lorentz numbers are larger than the
corresponding bulk values.

It can be seen from Table that induced tensile stresses account for the loss of grain
material from the diamond coated piezoelectric ceramic material. Therefore, the maximum
tensile stress is the best indicator of diamond performance, in terms of grinding ratio, during a
nanogrinding operation. The analysis performed on perfectly sharp diamond grains has provided
a strong correlation between maximum tensile stress induced in the grain material and the wear
parameter, grinding ratio, for the experimental data used in this chapter.
Correlations with other data sets have not proved so fruitful. From this, we can safely
assume that the mechanism of grain fracture is not the dominant mechanism, which implies that
other mechanisms are operating. The correlation coefficient demonstrates that a tougher grain
material must be used in order to limit the effects of abrasive wear and the formation of wear
flats, or a stronger bond, and possibly a higher volume of bond between diamond and
piezoelectric crystal, is required to nanogrind under the current experimental conditions.
Therefore, the present method of calculating the correlation coefficient between the maximum
tensile stress and the grinding ratio demonstrates its potential application to the wider problem of
selecting abrasive grains based on specific metal removal rates and the nature of the
nanogrinding operation.
When porous tools are used to embed diamonds or any other abrasive material, the same
analysis can be used but account of the properties of the bonding bridge must be made. The
bonding bridge can be made of a variety of different materials but the most common one used for
dressable applications is the vitrified type, which is made from a mixture of clays, glasses, and
minerals. The emphasis on using dressable types for nanogrinding is based on their ability to be
re-sharpened by dislodging worn grains and by microstructural phase transformations by
focusing optical energy on the bonding bridges that hold the grains in place.

The microstructure of Aluminium-SiC functionally graded metal matrix composites


fabricated by centrifugal casting method in Fig. 1 show the graded distribution of SiC particles in
Al(356) alloy matrix at three different locations from the outside periphery of 16 mm thick ring
casting. The outer periphery of the casting shows higher concentration of SiC particles than the
interior of the casting. The image analysis results depicted in Fig. 2a shows that the outer
periphery of the cylindrical casting contains a maximum of 45 vol. % SiCp followed by a graded
and reduced SiC volume percentage of 43, 37, 33 and 30 at 2, 3, 4 and 4.5 mm away from the
outer periphery respectively. After 5.5 mm, the volume fraction drops sharply reaching zero at
6.5 mm. By subjecting a homogenous composite melt of Al(356)-15% SiC to a centrifugal force,
a maximum volume fraction of 45% has been obtained at the outer periphery leading to selective
improvement in specific properties such as hardness and wear resistance. Figure 2b shows higher
hardness near the outer periphery of the casting in as cast and aged conditions. The inner
periphery of the casting at 15.5 mm from the outer edge has shown the presence of gas porosity
and few agglomerated particles. The gas bubbles present in the melt are thrown towards the inner
periphery of the casting by the centrifugal force due to their lower density. The agglomerates
constituting partially wetted or non-wetted particles or both and gases having lower overall
density are also pushed towards the inner periphery. Further, the movement of gas bubbles from
the outer periphery towards the inner during the rotation can hinder the particle movement in the
opposite direction as well as carry away few particles. The gas and shrinkage porosities thus
pushed to the inner periphery can be removed by machining to obtain a sound casting.
The comparison of distribution pattern of centrifugally cast silicon carbide particles
reinforced 356 alloy with 2124 and 6061 Al alloys fabricated by the authors shows that there is a
sharp transition between the SiC enriched and depleted zones in 356 alloy matrix, whereas a
gradual or smooth transition is seen in 2124 matrix alloy. This is obviously due to the presence
of varying amount of eutectic liquid, i.e. 356 alloy contains more eutectic liquid compared to
2124 alloy, the difference in freezing range (longer freezing range of 2124 alloy – 637–490°C
than 356 alloy – 615–564°C) and viscosity of the alloy [11]. Hence, the freezing range of the
matrix alloy dictates the nature of transition from particle enriched to depleted zone.

1. The carbon concentration in the cementite is approximately 24 at. pct and that in ferrite is
0.07 at. pct; these values are similar to those obtained from the as-patented (undeformed)
wire.
2. These clusters are ~6 nm thick and have a maximum carbon content of ~14 at.%, much
higher than that detected in austenite, but with chromium and manganese contents too
low (less than 2 at.%) to be identified as M6C carbide particles.
3. This shows that the chemical driving force, AGAM, for the transformation from austenite
to martensite achieves microstructural effects comparable to those produced by severe
plastic deformation.
4. The carbon concentration in the ferrite is inhom-ogeneous and varies from 0.2 to 3 at.
pct; the carbon concentration in nanocrystalline cementite is less than 18 at. pct,
significantly lower than that in stoichiometric Fe3C.
5. These measurements distinguished cementite particles formed during tempering at low
temperatures from those previously formed in lower bainite.
6. In the first category, Gridnev et al. [18] suggested that a larger binding energy between
interstitials and dislocations in ferrite than that between carbon and cementite makes it
possible for dislocations to drag carbon out of cementite.
7. By contrast, the previously [10] measured nominal concentrations of silicon and
manganese in ferrite and cementite after various tempering heat treatments showed that
the redistribution of manganese into cementite occurred faster than that of silicon into
ferrite for a steel with a nominal silicon alloy concentration of 3.84 at.% and a nominal
manganese alloy concentration of 2.95 at.%.

and nonaqueous electrolytes and physical high-energy methods for producing nanopow-
ders through combustion, evaporation of metals with subsequent oxidation at low
pressures, etc. [4-7] have been most extensively used.
13. Emphasis is placed on the formation mechanism of graded composition by the centrifugal
method as a practical FGM fabrication method.

most of the published work only the thermal conductivity through phonons is considered.
2. When this severely deformed chip sample is subjected to heat treatment at 600 °C in air,
very rapid aging is observed, which is likely associated with accelerated precipitation
kinetics in the nanostructured chip.
3. A partially formed chip specimen was created and was metallographically prepared to
reveal the bulk micro-structure and the resulting SPD microstructures. (SPD – severe
plastic deformation).
4. It is also evident (Fig. 1c) that the ferrite plate thickness has not changed, although

4. ПЕРЕВОДЧЕСКИЕ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ

Переводческие трансформации – это особые приемы перевода, выработанные


практикой и обобщенные теорией перевода. Трансформации применяются тогда, когда
словарь не способен дать готовых вариантов перевода или в языке перевода отсутствует
аналогичная синтаксическая модель. Наиболее частотные в научно-техническом
переводе трансформации можно сгруппировать следующим образом:

ЛЕКСИЧЕСКИЕ ГРАММАТИЧЕСКИЕ КОМПЛЕКСНЫЕ

ТРАНСКРИПЦИЯ ДОБАВЛЕНИЕ АНТОНИМИЧНЫЙ


ПЕРЕВОД

ТРАНСЛИТЕРАЦИЯ
ОПУЩЕНИЕ
ЭКСПЛИКАЦИЯ

КАЛЬКИРОВАНИЕ
ЗАМЕНЫ

КОНКРЕТИЗАЦИЯ
ПЕРЕСТАНОВКИ

ГЕНЕРАЛИЗАЦИЯ

МОДУЛЯЦИЯ

Основные мотивы применения лексических трансформаций

1. Картина реального мира, отражаясь в сознании людей, может члениться различным


образом, знаки разных языков могут называть большие или меньшие ее сегменты.
2. Один знак может иметь большую или меньшую по объему семантическую
структуру, чем его словарное соответствие в другом языке (т.е. называть большее
или меньшее количество понятий).
3. Некоторые понятия могут не иметь в языке специальных средств выражения, тогда
как в другом языке для их называния существуют специальные знаки.
4. Одно понятие может иметь в разных языках разное количество названий
(синонимов).
5. Знаки, называющие одно понятие, в разных языках могут иметь различное
употребление и различную сочетаемость, и потому не могут переводиться
словарными эквивалентными соответствиями без смысловых или стилистических
отклонений.

4.1. ТРАНСКРИПЦИЯ И ТРАНСЛИТЕРАЦИЯ

Транслитерация – это побуквенная передача формы слова на другом языке. Как


автономная трансформация она практически вышла из употребления, и к ней прибегают
в основном для передачи удвоенных согласных и некоторых непроизносимых букв.
Транскрипция – это пофонемная передача формы слова на другом языке.
Современная переводческая практика руководствуется принципами практической
транскрипции, т.е. ориентируется на передачу звучания иностранного слова с
помощью алфавита языка перевода (а не специальных знаков, используемых в словарях).
Транскрипция в специальной литературе применяется, как правило, для передачи имен
людей, названий, а также терминов (см. подробнее приложение А):

 компаний:
General Electric Corp. Дженерал Электрик Корпорейшн
Johnson & Johnson Inc. Джонсон-энд-Джонсон инкорпорейтед

 периодических изданий:
Journal of Applied Mechanics Джорнэл оф Эпплайд Меканикс
International Journal of Technical Sciences Интернешнл Джорнэл оф Текникал Сайенсиз

 географических названий:
Newfoundland Ньюфаундленд (Вновь найденная земля)
New Mexico Нью-Мексико (Новая Мексика)
Salt Lake City Солт-Лейк-Сити (Город соленого озера)
Anchorage Анкоридж (Якорная стоянка)

Во всех случаях перевод должен выполняться с учетом устоявшейся традиции (так


называемый канонический перевод). Спорные случаи должны проверяться по словарям
(атласам, энциклопедиям и т.п.). При отсутствии принятого эквивалента название
транскрибируется, а в скобках указывается оригинальное написание (только при первом
упоминании). В отличие от названных выше случаев названия международных
организаций, государственных органов и тому подобные переводятся, при этом также
учитывается уже существующий в языке перевода вариант:

Bureau of Industry and Security Бюро промышленности и безопасности


Federal Information Exchange Федеральный центр обмена информацией
Technical Advisory Committee Технический консультативный комитет

Institute for New Generation Computer Technology


Институт вычислительной техники нового поколения
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers

Калькирование – это покомпонентный (пословный/поморфемный) перевод


лексической единицы оригинала, при этом возможны замена исходных частей речи и
перестановка слов (см. также перевод атрибутивных сочетаний). Калькирование является
альтернативным транскрипции способом перевода терминов и некоторых имен

4.3. КОНКРЕТИЗАЦИЯ

Конкретизация – это сужение значения исходной единицы. Объективные мотивы


конкретизации таковы:

1) в ИЯ понятие может называться одним словом, а в ПЯ – по его понятийным


компонентам; при переводе вычленяется тот понятийный компонент, о котором идет
речь в конкретной ситуации.

trouble: беспокойство, волнение, тревога, беда, неприятность, горе, заботы, хлопоты, болезнь,
неполадка, дефект, изъян + источник любых неприятностей (одуш./неодуш.)

2) в ИЯ одно слово может употребляться для называния и общего, и конкретного


понятий, а также используется метонимически для называния целого и части, вещества и
изделия из него и т.п.:

cotton: хлопчатник + хлопчатая бумага; нитки; вата.


iron: l) железо (элемент); 2) черный металл – сталь, железо, чугун; 3) железное изделие;
4) утюг; 5) оковы, кандалы; 6) (мн.ч.) стремя; 7) (мед.) препарат из железа (БАРС).

3) в контексте конкретное понятие называется словом, которое обычно называет более


общие понятия:

all possible power histories for t < 0 – все возможные кривые мощности для t < 0
reliability history – данные по надежности т.п.

4) в ИЯ для называния конкретного понятия используется слово широкой семантики:

It can also handle a large number of measuring ranges.


 Прибор также обеспечивает большое число измерительных диапазонов.

These cars feature a radar sensor system.


 эти автомобили оборудованы радиолокационной системой.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 93


4.4. ГЕНЕРАЛИЗАЦИЯ

Генерализация – использование при переводе знака, называющего более общее


понятие, чем слово исходного текста (т.е. расширение значения). Генерализация, как
правило, связана с переходом от видового понятия к родовому:

The numbers are in accordance with those reported in the literature.


 Эти данные соответствуют указанным в литературе.

Starting with an assumed stagnation pressure and temperature, an initial value of stagnation entropy
was obtained from published data.
 Начиная с предположительных давления и температуры торможения, начальное значение
энтропии застоя было получено из известных данных.

Однако генерализация может потребоваться и для нейтрализации образности некоторых


лексических единиц (иерархические связи между понятиями в этом случае менее
выражены):

The approach is attractive.


 Данный подход является перспективным.

Another attraction of the structure is extremely low parasitic capacities at the inputs and outputs of
the transistors.
 Другим достоинством данной структуры являются чрезвычайно низкие входные и
выходные паразитные емкости транзисторов.

4.5. МОДУЛЯЦИЯ

Модуляция – это отступление от лексического оформления малого фрагмента


исходного сообщения в целях соблюдения языковой и/или речевой нормы языка
перевода. Модуляция, как правило, связана с логическим выводом и ориентирована на
воспроизведение переводчиком привычного способа описания заданной оригиналом
экстралингвистической реальности. При этом возможны различные варианты замены
причины следствием, процесса – его результатом, признака – процессом, одного
признака другим и т.п.

combined thickness – суммарная толщина


combined improvement – общее улучшение

… resistors of comparable performance – регисторы аналогичного качества


… comparable problem occurs – возникает похожая проблема

… at the sacrifice of high-frequency performance


 … ценой некоторого ухудшения высокочастотной характеристики

The control panel of the new washer features three slide switches instead of rotary switches.
 Ha панели управления новой стиральной машины вместо обычных поворотных
переключателей имеется три ползунковых переключателя.

One such design modification is the addition of a cavitating inducer upstream of the inlet to a
centrifugal or mixed flow pump impeller.
 Одно из таких изменений конструкции – добавление обратной лопатки центробежного или
диспергирующего рабочего колеса на входе в насос.

In an outsourcing situation, the processes are shifted away and become the responsibility of
the supplier.
 В ситуации аутсорсинга данные процессы осуществляются за пределами предприятия, и
отвечает за них поставщик.

Модуляция часто основана на терминологизации исходных единиц:

the rate of supply of neutrons – скорость генерации нейтронов


elephant trunk – всасывающий шланг
nitrogen free – очищенный от азота
contributor of unreliability – источник ненадежности
dirty registers – занятые регистры

Модуляция также может быть связана со специализацией общеразговорной лексики:

heart of the system – основной узел системы


heart of the control chip – основной элемент направляющего модуля
shotgun approach – беспорядочный подход

To combat noise – уменьшить шум

The entire world of physical properties …


 Вся совокупность физических свойств …

 В этом случае, статическим напряжением сжатия или статическим напряжением
сдвига можно считать то напряжение, которое оказывается на эластомер
нормальным номинальный крутящий момент.

4.6. ДОБАВЛЕНИЕ И ОПУЩЕНИЕ

Добавление – это введение в перевод дополнительной лексической единицы в


связи с формальной невыраженностью семантических компонентов в исходном языке,
что особенно типично для английских словосочетаний типа:

 «существительное + существительное»:

electricity cut прекращение подачи электроэнергии


auxiliary power applications источник электропитания вспомогательных устройств

 сочетания типа «прилагательное + существительное»:

solid engine двигатель на твердом топливе


chemical vapour deposition химические методы осаждения из газовой фазы

Добавление может потребоваться при некоторых существительных во множественном


числе, которые либо в принципе не имеют этой формы в русском языке, либо
используются крайне редко:

philosophies философские школы


defences оборонительные сооружения
humanities гуманитарные науки
industries отрасли промышленности
energies источники энергии

Добавления нередко обусловлены высоким информативным потенциалом английской


лексики (в частности, глаголов) – нередко для передачи равного объема информации
английскому языку необходимо меньше выразительных средств:

This allows further improvement without much effort.


 Это позволяет добиться дальнейшего улучшения показателей без особых усилий.

with high efficiency.
 В данной отрасли такой подход незаменим для высокоэффективной эксплуатации
сложного оборудования и внедрения опыта квалифицированных специалистов.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 100


Опущение – удаление при переводе семантически избыточных единиц, то есть
единиц, выражающих значения, которые могут быть извлечены из текста и без их
помощи. Подобной трансформации подвергаются, прежде всего, так называемые
«парные синонимы»:

each and every каждый


insight and understanding постижение
drawbacks and disadvantages недостатки
accuracy and precision точность
readily and easily легко
operating and maintenance cost эксплуатационные расходы
optional and non-obligatory characteristic необязательная характеристика

В некоторых случаях при переводе парных синонимов имеет смысл сохранить один из
них и акцентировать сообщение соответствующим наречием, например:

Installation of the automation equipment must be performed neatly and carefully.


 Установка автоматического оборудования должна выполняться очень аккуратно.

Учитывая высокую информативность научного текста при повышенной плотности,


опущением целесообразно пользоваться во всех случаях, где в оригинале создается
информационная избыточность (правило экономии выразительных средств):

But there is insufficient detail in our understanding to describe the nature of the risks or methods used
to mitigate these risks.
 Но мы еще недостаточно знаем, чтобы описать природу рисков или методы, используемые
для снижения этих рисков.

The dielectric dissipation factor was lowered slightly, the specific electrical resistivity was expectedly
higher due to the removal of aromatics, which are the most polar hydrocarbon constituents of mineral
insulating oil, the surface tension was improved (also due to the removal of polar aromatic com-
pounds) and oxidation stability decreased.
 Фактор проводимости незначительно снизился, электроустойчивость ожидаемо
увеличилась по причине удаления ароматики, которая является самым поляризующимся
компонентом электроизоляционных минеральных масел, по этой же причине улучшились
показания поверхностного натяжения.

4.7. ЗАМЕНЫ

Замены – совокупное название для целого ряда грамматических преобразований,


к числу которых относится замена формы слова, члена предложения, части речи, типа
предложения, синтаксической конструкции. Необходимость замен обусловлена
различиями в нормативных грамматиках русского и английского языков. Наиболее
характерными являются:

 Замена части речи

Each change needs to be managed individually.


 При этом каждое изменение требует индивидуального рассмотрения.
[наречие  прилагательное]

This approach will help to best capture the behaviour of interest. [существительное  причастие]
 Такой подход является наилучшим для получения интересующих данных.

…when handled and mixed with mineral aggregates at high temperatures.


 … после смешивания с минеральными компонентами при высоких температурах…
[причастие  существительное]

 Замена члена предложения

An example is the multinational computer manufacturer and retailer, Dell Corporation.


 Примером может служить корпорация Dell, которая является транснациональным
производителем и продавцом компьютерной техники. [подлежащее  дополнение]

A Newtonian behaviour, in the whole range of shear rates tested, is always observed.
 Битумы вели себя как ньютоновские жидкости во всем диапазоне напряжений сдвига.
[подлежащее  сказуемое]

Fig. 22-1 shows distribution of charges in the sample.


На рис. 22-1 показано распределение зарядов в образце. [подлежащее  обстоятельство]

 Замена синтаксических моделей (фрагментов модели)

This low-pressure shot is also shown in Fig. 6, and again demonstrates that the interstitial gases did
not affect the initiation process.
 Выстрел низкого давления показан также на рис.6, что в очередной раз демонстрирует
отсутствие влияния промежуточных газов на начало процесса [замена сочинительной связи
на подчинительную].

Переводчик имеет дело с заменами каждый раз, когда в русском языке отсутствуют
аналоги английским моделям. Особенно часто данная трансформация применяется при
переводе неличных форм глагола и оборотов с ними.

4.8. ПЕРЕСТАНОВКА

Перестановка – изменение порядка следования групп слов. Одной из причин


перестановок является расхождение в системах английского и русского языков.
В частности, перестановки могут использоваться в случае инверсии. Перестановки также
применяются для придания лаконичности фразе, для облегчения ее восприятия. Однако
основная причина перестановок при переводе – так называемое коммуникативное
(смысловое) членение предложения. В основе любого предложения, независимо от
синтаксической организации, лежит двухкомпонентная структура – тема («данное») и
рема («новое»). Смысловая структура противопоставлена грамматической, т.е. тема (T) не
всегда совпадает с подлежащим, а рема (R) – со сказуемым:
If natural pressure is not great enough to force the oil to the surface, pumps (R) may be used (T).
 Если естественное давление недостаточно для вытеснения нефти на поверхность,
задействуется (T) насосное оборудование (R).

В английской речи рема может быть и в конце, и в начале фразы!


В русской письменной речи рема всегда стремится к концу фразы!
Перенос исходного порядка слов в русское предложение может привести
к смещению смыслового ударения!

Для правильного обнаружения ремы необходимо учитывать следующие индикаторы:

 Неопределенный артикль:

A copper water-carrying cooling coil was activated during the freezing of the material.
 В процессе замораживания материала включался в работу медный змеевик с охлаждающей
водой.

 Подлежащее главного предложения при наличии придаточного


обстоятельственного времени:

Other instabilities generally became increasingly important as the coupling factor was increased.
 По мере увеличения параметра связи все более важными становились другие неустойчивые
решения.

One sensor was positioned in each of 25 tubes after the bundle was assembled and installed in the test
facility.
 После сборки и монтажа пучка в экспериментальной установке в каждую из его 25 труб
установили датчик.

 Подлежащее главного предложения при наличии обстоятельства цели:

To reduce the resistance of the bed, larger particles were required.


 Чтобы уменьшить сопротивление (кипящего) слоя, требовалось использовать более крупные
частицы.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 106


 Подлежащее придаточного дополнительного:

It was generally observed that a heat affected zone was present in the surface region of each
specimen.
 В поверхностной зоне каждого образца обычно наблюдалось присутствие зоны
термического влияния.

The data clearly show that large quantities of pyrites can be removed from coal.
 Эти данные убедительно показывают, что из угля можно удалить большое количество
пирита.

 Подлежащее придаточного обстоятельственного причины:

Results were rewarding since much knowledge was derived for a relatively small investment in
computer time.
 Результаты окупили эти усилия, так как за относительно малое компьютерное время была
получена большая информация.

Полезно учитывать и прочие средства выделения ремы:


- глагол-сказуемое в пассиве с ослабленной информативностью (is discussed, is considered,
is investigated, is discovered, is explored);
- глагол-сказуемое в активе с «бытийным» значением (appears, occurs, takes place);
- слова-выделители only, just, merely, such as, at least, rather than;
- конструкция there is;
- формальное подлежащее it;
- as в значении «в качестве»;
- словосочетания типа of particular interest, of particular concern.

УПРАЖНЕНИЯ

1. Переведите, изменив по необходимости порядок слов:

1. Very little machining is necessary to prepare the sample.


2. As employers develop and implement sophisticated new equipment more workers who are
capable of using new technologies will be needed.
3. At present chemical methods of purifying water are extensively made use of.
4. Fig. 13 suggests total flame radiation is reduced rather than increased by using emulsified

2. Проанализируйте следующие цепочки фраз и обоснуйте необходимость
применения перестановок сообразно смысловому членению.

1. The alloy was supplied as a cast ingot, samples of which were then homogenized at
1200°C for 48 h in partially evacuated sealed quartz capsules that were flushed with
argon. The sealed samples were cooled in air following the homogenization heat
treatment.
2. Both horizontal and vertical centrifugal casting methods are used for making FGMs.
There are various other variants and methods of using centrifugal casting techniques for
making FGM. Centrifugal infiltration process is one of the techniques.
3. Taking advantage of the possibility of improving the quality of local values by calculating
them as time averages over sufficiently long period of time provides the means to obtain a
deeper insight of the model and the simulated process. Thus, aiming at macroscopic
thermodynamic properties, suitable time intervals for averaging these properties have to
be identified.

4.9. АНТОНИМИЧНЫЙ ПЕРЕВОД

Антонимичный перевод – замена лексической единицы оригинала антонимом


или утвердительной формы оригинала отрицательной формой в переводе (и наоборот).
В ряде случаев применение данной трансформации диктуется исключительно личными
предпочтениями переводчика:

The station will not be manned until phase 3.


 Станцию введут в эксплуатацию только по завершении третьей очереди строительства.
(… не введут раньше …)

Additional tests shall not be made unless authorized.


 Дополнительные эксперименты должны производиться лишь с особого разрешения.
(… не могут производиться без …)

A complete classification of the various types of unsteady flow arising from cavitation has yet to be
constructed.
 Полной классификации различных типов нестационарных потоков, вызванных кавитацией,
на данный момент не существует.

В других случаях антонимичный перевод необходим во избежание нарушения


нормативов языка перевода:

It is not uncommon to wait for several hours for the result to be obtained.
 Ждать несколько часов до получения искомого результата – обычное дело.

Most of the risk factors looked at in this study were not unusual.
 Большинство факторов риска, рассмотренных в настоящем исследовании, вполне типичны.

 Чисто теоретически, хотя это вполне логично, можно предположить, что первобытная
земная кора была богата радиоактивными элементами, такими как торий, уран, калий,
рубидий.

Традиционным является применение антонимичного перевода для акцентирования


временных параметров (чаще всего обстоятельства времени):

Typically new batteries do not reach their full capacity until 30/40 charge/discharge cycles.
 Обычно новые аккумуляторы достигают максимальной емкости после 30-40 циклов
разрядки/зарядки.

The results of many models offer varieties of evidence that have not until recently found their way into
the literature.
 Результаты применения различных моделей свидетельствуют о фактах, которые лишь
недавно стали упоминаться в литературе.

The results of these analyses are usually not available until several hours after sampling.
 Результаты этих анализов, как правило, доступны лишь через несколько часов после взятия

4.10. ЭКСПЛИКАЦИЯ

Экспликация – описательный способ перевода, наиболее востребованный при


переводе терминов, отсутствующих в опыте общения носителей языка перевода. В этом
случае исходная единица заменяется ее определением (толкованием).

balanced drilling бурение на равновесии давлений в скважине и пласте


slickwater fractures гидравлический разрыв пласта жидкостью на водной основе

Экспликация также применяется во избежание неестественности/неприемлимости


способа оформления исходной информации. В этом случае переводчик производит
интерпретацию оригинала:

Intel has been chasing the speed of bipolar RAMs.


 Компания «Интел» постоянно стремилась к созданию модулей памяти, способных
конкурировать по быстродействию с биполярными ЗУ.

Judging by its capabilities, the system is clearly not the “me-too product” the company had said it
would take pains to avoid.

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.


История физики состоит в синтезировании на основе множества явлений нескольких
теорий.
For instance, in the early days there were phenomena of motion and phenomena of heat; there
were phenomena of sound, of light, and of gravity.
Например, с давних пор были известны тепловые, световые, звуковые явления,
движение и гравитация.
But it was soon discovered, after Sir Isaac Newton explained the laws of motion, that some of
these apparently different things were aspects of the same thing.
Однако после того как сэр Исаак Ньютон объяснил законы движения, оказалось, что
некоторые из этих, на первый взгляд, не связанных вещей – разные стороны одного и
того же явления.
For example, the phenomena of sound could be completely understood as the motion of atoms in
the air.
Например, звуковые явления – это не что иное, как движение атомов воздуха.
So sound was no longer considered something in addition to motion.
Так что звук перестали считать чем-то отдельным от движения.
It was also discovered that heat phenomena are easily understandable from the laws of motion.
Обнаружилось также, что и тепловые явления легко объясняются законами движения.
In this way, great globs of physics theory were synthesized into a simplified theory.
Таким образом, огромные разделы физики сливались в более простую теорию.
The theory of gravitation, on the other hand, was not understandable from the laws of motion,
and even today it stands isolated from the other theories.
С другой стороны, гравитацию не удавалось объяснить законами движения, и даже
сегодня она стоит обособленно от всех прочих теорий.
Gravitation is, so far, not understandable in terms of other phenomena.
Гравитацию пока нельзя объяснить никакими другими явлениями.
After the synthesis of the phenomena of motion, sound, and heat, there was the discovery of
a number of phenomena that we call electrical and magnetic.
За синтезом явлений движения, тепла и звука последовало открытие целого ряда
явлений, которые мы называем электрическими и магнитными.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 115


In 1873 these phenomena were synthesized with the phenomena of light and optics into a single
theory by James Clerk Maxwell, who proposed that light is an electromagnetic wave.
В 1873 г. Джеймс Кларк Максвелл объединил их со световыми и оптическими явле-
ниями и создал единую теорию, в которой свет рассматривается как электромагнитная
волна.
So at that stage, there were the laws of motion, the laws of electricity and magnetism, and the
laws of gravity.
Итак, на этой стадии существовали законы движения, законы электромагнетизма и
законы гравитации.
Around 1900 a theory was developed to explain what matter was.
Примерно в 1900 г. была создана теория, объясняющая, что такое вещество.
It was called the electron theory of matter, and it said that there were little charged particles
inside of atoms.
Она получила название электронной теории вещества и гласила, что внутри атомов
находятся маленькие заряженные частицы.
This theory evolved gradually to include a heavy nucleus with electrons going around it.
Развитие этой теории привело к пониманию того, что электроны движутся вокруг
тяжелых ядер.

For the present study a test plan was carried out by virtue of which the errors resulting
from tool deflection were predicted. The test variables taken into account were cutting strategy,
tool dimensions, material hardness and surface slope. It was then possible to determine what
cutting strategies should be used to minimise errors resulting from tool deflection. In some cases
the best strategies for minimising deflection may have negative aspects, for example, it induces
more dynamic problems and tool wear. In such cases, the optimal solution will be a compromise.

The ferritic component develops a strong (110) wire texture, and the cementite lamellae
appear to fragment into planar arrays of small particles. No preferred texture has been identified
for the cementite phase. The pearlite interlamellar spacing decreases in proportion to the wire
diameter, and the range of spacings broadens markedly with increasing strain.

It is possible to create bainite in the form of long, slender crystals of ferrite whose scale
compares with that of carbon nanotubes [1]. These crystals are approximately 20 nm in thickness
and are generated by the partial transformation of austenite at low temperature. The result is an
extraordinary combination of strength and toughness as well as the highest hardness ever
reported for a bainitic microstructure [2, 3]. The transformation mechanism leads to a ferrite
carbon concentration, which are many orders of magnitude greater than its equilibrium solubility
[1]. Atom probe tomography revealed that this excess of carbon was trapped at dislocations in
the vicinity of the ferrite/austenite interface. As a result, decarburization of supersaturated
bainitic ferrite and subsequent carbide precipitation sequences are modified [4]. Further studies
have shown that the cementite is similar to the one found in lower bainite despite the high silicon
content of the steel used. This result confirmed that e-carbide is not always a precursor to the
precipitation of cementite in lower bainite [5]. Moreover, the growth of cementite in lower
bainitic microstructure is not associated with partitioning of substitutional elements, including
silicon. The above results were explained in terms of a displacive mechanism with
paraequilibrium, i.e. a homogeneous deformation of supersaturated ferrite combined with the
necessary diffusion of carbon [6] by which the cementite lattice is generated.

Interference effects in disordered media give rise to interesting new phenomena in


nonlinear optics, leading to the appearance of sharp peaks in the angular distribution of the
second-harmonic intensity [7], resulting in correlations of second-harmonic waves in
transmission and reflection [8], and allowing the integration of lasing and second-harmonic
generation capabilities by the use mixtures of powders [9]. The importance of scattering effects
for the enhancement of optical harmonic generation in porous silicon [10] and porous gallium
phosphide [11] has recently been demonstrated. Nonlinear optics is also a powerful tool for
composition-, morphology-, and spatial-symmetrysensitive analysis and time-resolved studies of
nanocomposite materials, as well as assemblies of nanocrystals and nanoclusters [12–15]. An
understanding of scattering-induced effects in nonlinear optics would allow harmonic-generation
and wave-mixing methods of laser metrology to be extended to strongly scattering media, giving
new insights into fundamental aspects of nonlinear scattering problems and permitting practical
devices to be created with the use of nanopowder and nanocrystal materials.

Small is different

Depending on who you ask, nanotechnology started in 1981, 1974, 1959 or the Bronze
Age. And depending on who you believe, and the definitions they use, the world market for
nanotechnology products will be worth $2,600 billion in 2014, or $1,000 billion in 2015.
There is, however, consensus about some matters. First, for something – a material,
device, system or process – to be truly nano, the relevant length scale must be small enough for
its properties and behaviour to be different from those observed in the bulk. Second, nanoscience
and nanotechnology are genuinely multidisciplinary and broad-based subjects.
At the recent International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology in Basel, for
instance, it was notable that most of the plenary speakers were active in many different areas of
nano: it is not uncommon for a group to be working on nanowire-based biosensors and, say,
devices for quantum-information processing at the same time. Third, governments and
companies around the world are not investing billions in the field because the science is
fascinating – they will want to see returns on their investments.

Nanotechnology is believed to hold great promise for an efficient, environmentally


friendly creation of entirely new material: for example, flexible glass, concretes stronger and
lighter than aluminium, self-cleaning fibres, and medical technologies. However, it may also
harbour as yet unknown health problems if nanoscale materials are indiscriminately
manufactured and used.
The debate surrounding nanotech is not yet as fierce as that of genetically modified crops.
There are always risks associated with emerging technologies; their further development and
wider use is formed by the balance between these risks and the potential societal benefits.
Nanotechnology first made its way to public consciousness via a book written in 1986 by
Dr. Eric Drexler, founder of the Foresight Institute in California. Engines of Creation detailed a
possible scenario in which self-replicating nanomachines run amok, reproducing uncontrollably
and consuming all organic matter on Earth until nothing is left but a thick blanket of nanorobots.
This nightmare is popularly known as the „grey goo‟ scenario, and has now been joined by a
„green goo‟ counterpart due to the advent of medical nanotech (in which biologically active
nanodevices invade and alter human bodies). The original „grey goo‟ scenario has been revived
in the media both by Michael Crichton‟s recent book Prey, and by the concerns of
environmentalists, including Prince Charles and the ETC Group. The ETCG have called for a
moratorium on the development of nanotechnology, citing potential environmental problems and
societal concerns.

Nanoscale Evolution of Sliding Metal Surfaces During Running-in

Experienced automotive engineers know that the running-in of an engine will


significantly determine its performance and lifetime. An optimized running-in procedure is able
to increase the lifetime of a mechanical system by 40% and more and to reduce the engine
friction without any material modification or use of special coatings [1]. Therefore a better
understanding of running-in phenomena is very interesting for cost-reduction as well as from a
fundamental point of view.
A widespread opinion is that running-in is caused by breaking off the peaks of the surface
profiles, which will reduce the maximum contact pressures and thus the wear rate (see e.g. [2]).
More recent studies have shown that running-in also leads to changes of the microstructure,
elemental composition and the micro topography on the first few hundred nanometres of the
rubbing surfaces [3-5]. Finally, anti-wear (AW) additives, that form part of the lubricant, have
been assumed to be responsible for the reduction of the wear rate during running-in as well. The
most prominent of these AW substances is the organo-metallic compound zinc
dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP), which has already been studied for decades (see e.g. [6-9]).
A recent overview on ZDDP literature can be found in [10]. It is known that ZDDP decomposes
to form "anti-wear" films, which are comprised of long-chain and short-chain zinc
polyphosphates. Wear prevention is assumed to occur by separating the two metallic surfaces
[9, 11].
Figure 3 shows the friction and high-resolution wear data for the experiment that was
stopped after 8 min, 16 min and 2.5 h. Not shown is the 4.5 h test since wear had not been
measured in this test but the friction data were very similar to the 2.5 h test. The evolution of the
wear curve can be split into three regimes. Initially the wear increased rapidly and within the first
4 min the wear rate amounts to dW/dt = 1165 ± 295 nm/h. Then a transition can be observed,
where the wear rate dropped rapidly to a value close to zero within the error margin of the
measurement (–12 ± 23 nm/h). At a rubbing time of approx. 12 min a third regime can be
recognized, where an increase of the total wear amount could be clearly detected again. After
about 2 h of sliding the wear curve adopted a linear characteristic.
While the friction remained constant or even increased (see Fig. 3) in the first two
periods, it decreased significantly in the third. Beyond approx. 4 h of sliding the friction
coefficient levelled off at l = 0.05, meaning that both friction and wear rate obtained steady-state
values subsequently.

Atom Probe and Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigations


of Heavily Drawn Pearlitic Steel Wire

HEAVILY drawn pearlitic wire has been investigated extensively over the years for its
unusual strain-hardening behavior and for the high strengths that can be attained, with a
toughness sufficient for many engineering applications. Widely used for tire cord, springs, wire
rope, and suspension bridge cable, it is typically produced by rolling or drawing wire of an
approximately eutectoid composition to an intermediate diameter, patenting it to produce a fine
pearlitic microstructure, and then cold drawing it to strains between 1.5 and 5.0. Previous
microstructural investigations have established a number of salient characteristics associated
with the wire drawing process. The strength of the wire increases exponentially with the drawing
strain, and, despite the limited ductility of monolithic cementite crystals, the cementite lamellae
in pearlitic wire co-deform with ferrite. The ferritic component develops a strong (110) wire
texture, and the cementite lamellae appear to fragment into planar arrays of small particles. No
preferred texture has been identified for the cementite phase. The pearlite interlamellar spacing
decreases in proportion to the wire diameter, and the range of spacings broadens markedly with
increasing strain.
In addition to these microstructural traits, drawn pearlitic wire has several interesting
chemical characteristics. Atom probe field ion microscopy (APFIM) studies indicate that silicon

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 121


in undeformed (as-patented) wire is piled up at ferrite/cementite boundaries, while manganese
shows no significant tendency to segregate or partition to either ferrite or cementite. Internal
friction and Mossbauer experiments suggest that a substantial proportion of the cementite (from
20 to 50 vol pct) dissolves during deformation at room temperature. This phenomenon is
intriguing, since cementite is stable at room temperature and the solubility of carbon in ferrite is
quite low. Direct support for cementite dissolution is provided by the aforementioned APFIM in-
vestigations, as well as by several analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies
show that deformed ferrite lamellae contain significantly more carbon than ferrite in undeformed
pearlite.
Explanations for why cementite dissolves during cold drawing are based upon either
interactions between carbon and dislocations or upon thermodynamic arguments. In the first
category, Gridnev et al. suggested that a larger binding energy between interstitials and
dislocations in ferrite than that between carbon and cementite makes it possible for dislocations
to drag carbon out of cementite. Others suggested that cementite dissolves during annealing,
when carbon leaves cementite to form atmospheres around dislocations in ferrite. In the second
category, Languillaume et al. invoked capillarity to argue that an increase in surface energy
associated with steps in pearlite lamellae destabilizes the cementite phase.
The distribution of carbon in deformed pearlitic wire is important, as it affects the
response of drawn wire to subsequent thermal treatments. Commercial pearlitic wire is often heat
treated at temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 450 °C during the bluing or galvanizing
processes, and the mechanisms associated with observed changes in mechanical properties
depend on the behavior of carbon after drawing. For example, the increase in yield strength that
results from brief exposures to temperatures below approximately 250 °C has been attributed to
strain-age hardening accompanying cementite dissolution. Also, the softening accompanying
annealing at higher temperatures has been attributed to a variety of processes, including a drop in
the carbon concentration in ferrite, recovery and recrystalli-zation, and cementite spherodization.
The present study aims to clarify the mechanism by which carbon is transferred from
cementite to pearlite during deformation, as well as to determine how annealing between 200 °C
and 500 °C affects the distribution of carbon and silicon. Toward this end, three-dimensional
AP-FIM and TEM techniques were used to obtain both chemical and microstructural information
with spatial resolutions of near-atomic dimensions.

The production of nanostructured or ultrafine grained (UFG) materials has been of great
interest in the research community recently due to their high strength, wear resistance, ductility,
and high strain-rate superplasticity. These properties, achieved through their small
microstructures (100-300 nm) and unique defect structures (of grain boundaries and dislocations)
make these materials ideal for lightweight medical implants and aerospace structural
components. Methods of actually manufacturing UFG materials for these advanced engineering
designs have yet to be considered.
For UFG materials to be manufactured and used in industry, further machining research
is needed to form and shape these materials into their final dimensions. Because of their high
internal energy, UFG materials are known to have microstructures which are susceptible to
undesirable changes at low temperatures. Since machining is a heat dissipating process, the
thermal stability of UFG materials must be carefully considered as not to deteriorate their unique
properties. The machinability is also of interest due to its importance in possible part production.
In this study, pure nanostructured copper and titanium as well as their respective coarse grained
(CG) counterparts were tested for their relative machinability and microstructure stability
through lathe turning. To evaluate the machinability cutting forces, tool wear, chip morphology,
and surface roughness were studied using different cutting conditions. Tungsten carbide (WC)
and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tools were utilized for turning the copper workpieces
while only PCD was used for titanium. Microstructure stability was examined by measuring

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 122


grain size and dislocation density using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques with some
subsequent electron microscopy imaging.
Experimental results confirmed that both the UFG Cu and Ti bars could be machined as
efficiently as their CG counterparts. Cutting forces generated were less for the UFG copper
compared to the regular copper but were approximately equal for the two titanium bars. Similar
tool wear patterns and mechanisms were observed for the nano and coarse grained Cu and Ti.
Chip morphology changed little during the course of machining. Surface roughness was
improved when machining the UFG copper bar, yet was slightly larger for the UFG titanium at
higher speeds. XRD results showed little changes in grain size after machining while dislocation
density was shown to reduce the greatest near the machined surface.

Nanotechnology in the Metallurgy of Steel

Progress in ferrous metallurgy in the second half of the twentieth century was associated
with rapid replacement of the basic production systems, in a kind of technical revolution. Large-
capacity converter and electrosmelting systems were organized, along with ladle treatment of the
steel, vacuum treatment, continuous casting, coke-free metallurgy, powder metallurgy, and
hydroextrusion. Thus, effective new approaches to the production of high-performance steel
were introduced. In the past decade, progress in ferrous metallurgy has been characterized
primarily by the development of nanotechnologies – in particular, the production of high-quality
materials used in electronics, optics, construction, the power industry, manufacturing,
astronautics, and elsewhere.
In large-scale metallurgy, nanotechnologies are already in use: for example, the intense
plastic deformation in closed dies and closed roller grooves; thermodeformation with large
reduction and a low final deformation temperature; and thermocyclic treatment of final profiles.
To date, nanotechnologies play a small role in ferrous-metal production. Currently, the mass
production of high-quality rolled steel relies on alloying with expensive ferroalloys. The costs of
producing fine-grain steel free of oxides and other nonmetallic inclusions are high. Steel
composed of smaller crystals will be of higher quality: this should guarantee high strength, low-
temperature stability, and corrosion resistance of the product.
The competitiveness of metallurgical products in the global marketplace depends on
those properties of the steel that permit the production of more reliable and more economical
machines and mechanisms, metal structures, oil and gas pipelines, railroad lines for eastern and
northern regions, and defense technology. This calls for steel whose mechanical strength,
characterized by the elastic modulus and the deformation, is sustained under external and internal
loads corresponding to elastoplastic processes, with a sufficient margin.
Taking account of random overloads, the presence of defects, and differences in
mechanical systems, it is conventional to adopt a safety margin of more than two in calculating
the design stress for machine parts and structural components. In operation, enormous plastic
strains (hundreds of percent) accumulate in microvolumes of the steel, which should lead to
rapid loss of strength and failure. However, this is not observed, on account of nanostructuring,
i.e., self-organization of strengthening nanophases in stress-concentration zones with
fragmentation of the matrix phase; this is a protective reaction of the material to the external
stimulus.
The strength and durability of the part depend both on its initial structure and on the
dynamic structural changes and self-organization of the strengthening nanocomposite phases,
which scatter (dissipate) the supplied energy. Ordered nanocomposites provide a unique set of
properties: hardness, strength, and plasticity. This offers the prospect of minimizing the safety
margin in determining the strength of the material.
By regulating the formation of a fine-grain structure, taking account of the self-
organization of nanophases, not only the strength but also the plasticity and cold strength of the

steel may be increased on the basis of local synergetic transitions and thermomechanical
treatment. Therefore, production technologies – in particular, for massive rolled sheet made of
carbon and low-alloy steel – must ensure the formation of a finely crystalline structure, with the
maximum possible quantity of strengthening metallic nanophases (carbides, nitrides,
carbonitrides, intermetallides) and a minimum quantity of sulfur, phosphorus, oxides, and other
nonmetallic inclusions.
The production of a fine-grain structure has always seemed challenging. Today, an
approach based on nanosystems is promising. The strength of the metal in the nanostate may be
increased by a factor of 3–4, and the hardness by an order of magnitude, with improvement in
the cold strength and great increase in the corrosion resistance.
Nanotechnological methods have been used, at least by trial and error, for more than two
millennia, as indicated, for example, by Damascus steel blades and the iron column in Delhi.
However, the beginning of the twenty-first century has brought the recognition that such
methods hold the key to human progress [1]. Forecasts show that, within 10–15 years,
nanotechnology will have created a multitrillion-dollar world market for materials with
unforeseen properties.

Effect of tempering temperature on tensile behavior of ultrafine grained


low carbon steel

Recently, ultrafine grained (UFG) materials with grain size less than 1 μm have been
studied extensively because they are expected to provide high strength without the degradation
of toughness. Earlier work has shown that severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques, such as
equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), accumulative roll bonding (ARB), multiple compression
and severe torsional straining (STS), etc. are effective in manufacturing UFG materials [1–5].
Through the application of severe deformation, it is possible to produce reasonably uniform
submicron grain structures in Al alloys, Cu alloys and low carbon steels.
One of the distinguishing features of UFG ferritic steels during tensile deformation,
compared with coarse-grained ones, is the presence of the extended region, where little strain
hardening occurs, at strains less than 5% in engineering stress-strain curves. This unusual
behavior could be explained in terms of dynamic recovery associated with the balance between
the dislocation generation rate and the spreading rate of trapped lattice dislocations at grain
boundaries during tensile deformation. According to Park et al. [6], the formation of a
dislocation cell structure would be inhibited in UFG steels during deformation, since the grain
size is too small to form dislocation cells within grains. Thus, the mean free dislocation length at
the corresponding stress level, which is comparable to a nanoscale grain size of 0.2–0.4 μm, in
UFG ferritic steels and the dynamic recovery during tensile deformation, would cause the
occurrence of the extended region in engineering stress-strain curves.
Meanwhile, similar tensile behavior in engineering stress-strain curves is often observed
in steels with a tempered martensite structure. It is worth mentioning that the characteristic
dimension of the lath martensite, 0.1–1.0 μm, is similar to the grain size in UFG ferritic steels
reported in [6], although the characteristics of lath boundaries, i.e., low-angle boundaries, are
somewhat different from those of UFG ferritic steels. Furthermore, Ueji et al. [7] observed the
formation of the UFG microstructure through cold rolling and annealing of the martensite in low
carbon steels. Thus, it is anticipated that the occurrence of recovery and recrystrallization in the
martensite matrix during tempering at high temperatures, would possibly enhance the formation
of an equiaxed ultrafine ferrite grain. However, most previous work [8–11] has focused on the
evolution of carbide particles during tempering and the variation of mechanical properties, which
are influenced by microstructural features such as prior austenite grain size, tempering
temperature and alloying elements.
In view of the foregoing, the present investigation was carried out to investigate tensile
behavior manifested in engineering stress-strain curves, in conjunction with microstructural

evolution during tempering, starting from a martensite structure, especially the formation of
equiaxed ultrafine ferrite grains.
The steel used in this study was hot-rolled and had a chemical composition of 0.21%C,
0.22%Si, 0.73%Mn, 1.08Cr, 0.19%Mo, 0.014%P, 0.012%S (in wt%) and the balance Fe. The
resulting wire rods were induction-heated at 1223 K for 50 s, and quenched to room temperature
by water jet spraying. The measured AGS (average grain size) of induction-heated steels was
ASTM No. 10.5. Then, specimens were tempered at various temperatures from 523 K–973 K in
a molten salt bath for 30 min. Tensile tests were conducted on specimens, machined to the
ASTM subsize form of 6.25 mm gauge diameter and 25 mm gauge length, at a constant
crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The strain gage was removed from the specimens after the
occurrence of the peak in the engineering stress-strain curve. For a detailed understanding of the
microstructural evolution during the heat-treatment, a transmission electron microscope (TEM)
was used to analyze thin foils obtained from the samples tempered at various temperatures.
TEM samples were prepared by utilizing a conventional jet polishing technique in a mixture of
10% perchloric acid and glacial acetic acid. The representative engineering stress-strain curves
of tempered steels are shown in Fig. 1. The stress-strain curves can be classified in three groups,
according to their shapes. The first one shows a typical continuous yielding behavior e.g., the
steel tempered at 523 K. It is well known that the presence of excess mobile dislocations in fully
martensitic steels causes the occurrence of continuous yielding in engineering stress-strain
curves.
The engineering stress-strain curves of the second group showthat continuous yielding
disappears and the formation of an extended region, where flow stress is independent of a strain,
starts to appear without the formation of an upper yield point. It is interesting to note that as
tempering temperature increases, the extended region becomes more prominent and
progressively expands up to a tempering temperature of 873 K in Fig. 1. This phenomenon must
be related to the microstructural variation occurring during tempering of a martensite structure.

Redistribution of alloying elements during tempering of a nanocrystalline steel

It is possible to create bainite in the form of long, slender crystals of ferrite whose scale
compares with that of carbon nanotubes [1]. These crystals are approximately 20 nm in thickness
and are generated by the partial transformation of austenite at low temperature. The result is an
extraordinary combination of strength and toughness as well as the highest hardness ever
reported for a bainitic microstructure [2, 3]. The transformation mechanism leads to a ferrite
carbon concentration, which are many orders of magnitude greater than its equilibrium solubility
[1]. Atom probe tomography revealed that this excess of carbon was trapped at dislocations in
the vicinity of the ferrite/austenite interface. As a result, decarburization of supersaturated
bainitic ferrite and subsequent carbide precipitation sequences are modified [4]. Further studies
have shown that the cementite is similar to the one found in system at 700 °C and reported that
most of the silicon was rejected from cementite. However, Babu et al. [10] and Thomson and
Miller [11] found that there was no initial partition of silicon between ferrite and cementite in
tempered martensite of Fe-0.15C-2Si-3Mn and Fe-(0.15, 0.4)C-2.2Cr-1Mo-0.3Si-0.5Mn alloys.
Silicon is eventually rejected from cementite during prolonged tempering.
However, a systematic study of the partitioning between ferrite and austenite and also
carbide precipitation during tempering of bainite has not been done. There are important
differences in the tempering behavior of bainite and martensite. Much of the carbon precipitates
as carbides or partitions from the ferrite to the remaining austenite during bainite formation. As a
consequence the bainitic microstructure is less sensitive to additional tempering heat treatment.
In contrast, the level of carbon in the bainitic ferrite of this novel bainitic steel is unusually high.
Previous work focused on carbon atom redistribution processes, such as segregation of carbon
atoms to defects and carbon enrichment in the retained austenite, that occur during auto-
tempering conditions [4]. The goals of this work are to analyze the following physical processes:
 Substitutional and interstitial element redistribution between ferrite and austenite
Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 125
 Redistribution of solute across the lower bainite cement-ite/ferrite interface
 Precipitation of carbides within the ferrite
The initial microstructure is the result of isothermal decomposition of austenite at 200 °C
for 10 d. A transmission electron micrograph of the resulting microstructure consisting of fine
plates of bainitic ferrite separated by carbon-enriched regions of retained austenite (29 ± 2%
according to X-ray analysis) is shown in Fig. 1a. The retained austenite is sufficiently enriched
with carbon (6.69 ± 0.44 at.%) that it remains stable during cooling to ambient temperature, so
that martensite does not form at all. The thickness of the bainite plates measured from a selection
of transmission electron micrographs is extremely fine, 35 ± 2 nm, which is the main reason for
the high hardness value resulting from this microstructure (617 HV).
The chemical composition of the steel studied is given in Table 1. The alloy was supplied
as a cast ingot, samples of which were then homogenized at 1200 °C for 48 h in partially
evacuated sealed quartz capsules that were flushed with argon. The sealed samples were cooled
in air following the homogenization heat treatment. Homogenized specimens were austenitized
for 15 min at 1000 °C, and then isothermally transformed at 200 °C for 10 d before quenching
into water. The microstructure thus obtained was tempered between 400 and 600 °C for 30 or
60 min.
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the original
microstructure of the steel and its evolution during tempering. For this purpose, specimens were
machined to 3 mm diameter rods and electropolished with a twin-jet electropolisher at room
temperature in a mixture of 5% perchloric acid, 15% glycerol, and 80% methanol at 40 V until
perforation occurred.
X-ray experiments were conducted on etched samples using a Philips PPW1730
diffractometer and a scanning rate of 0.1° min-1 over the range 20 = 30-110°, with unfiltered Cu
Ka radiation. The system was operating at 45 kV and 45 mA. Peak positions and widths of Bragg
reflections were determined by a self-consistent profile-fitting technique using the Pearson-VII
function [12]. Retained austenite volume fraction in the microstructure was evaluated by the
integrated intensities of the 111, 200, 220, and 311 austenite peaks and the 110, 002, 112, and
022 peaks of ferrite. Using this number of peaks avoids possible bias due to crystallographic
texture. Moreover, austenite and ferrite carbon content was calculated from the measured lattice
parameters [13-15].
Atom probe tomography specimens were cut from heat-treated material and
electropolished using the standard double-layer and micropolishing methods [16]. Atom probe
analyses were performed in the ORNL local electrode atom probe. The large field of view and
rapid analysis capability of this instrument facilitated the analysis at an atomic scale in this
material. The local electrode atom probe was operated with a specimen temperature of 60 K, a
pulse repetition rate of 200 kHz, and a pulse fraction of 0.2.
The initial microstructure is the result of isothermal decomposition of austenite at 200 °C
for 10 d. A transmission electron micrograph of the resulting microstructure consisting of fine
plates of bainitic ferrite separated by carbon-enriched regions of retained austenite (29 ± 2%
according to X-ray analysis) is shown in Fig. 1a. The retained austenite is sufficiently enriched
with carbon (6.69 ± 0.44 at.%) that it remains stable during cooling to ambient temperature, so
that martensite does not form at all. The thickness of the bainite plates measured from a selection
of transmission electron micrographs is extremely fine, 35 ± 2 nm, which is the main reason for
the high hardness value resulting from this microstructure (617 HV) [1]. It is important to point
out the high carbon content of the ferrite (2.52 ± 0.30 at.%) as well as the high dislocation
density present in this phase, as shown in Fig. 1a. Carbide particles within bainitic ferrite plates
were not observed by TEM; however, cementite precipitated inside bainitic ferrite (i.e. lower
bainite cementite) was identified in the initial microstructure by atom probe tomography. More
details on the characterization of this initial microstructure are summarized elsewhere [1,4].
Tempering for 1 h at 400 °C did not change the hardness (619 HV), suggesting negligible
change in the initial micro-structure. Extremely fine plates of ferrite and thin films of retained
austenite were still observed (see Fig. 1b). The austenite volume fraction also did not change (29

± 1%). Only a few carbide particles seem to precipitate within the ferrite. At 450 °C for 30 min
(Fig. 1c), some of the retained austenite has decomposed into cementite and ferrite. This discrete
precipitation would explain a small increase in hardness (up to ~670 HV). The volume fraction
of austenite according to X-ray analysis decreased from 29 ± 1% to 2 ± 1%. It is also evident
(Fig. 1c) that the ferrite plate thickness has not changed, although recovery of dislocation
substructure occurs to some extent. Similar microstructural changes are observed when
increasing tempering temperatures to 500 or 550 °C (Fig. 1d and e). Hardness is maintained at
high levels (between 615 and 640 HV) and some recovery of dislocations takes place. Ferrite
plate thickness increases to 49 ± 2 nm following tempering at 550 °C for 1 h. Further
decomposition of retained austenite occurs as temperature increases, and some large regions of
retained austenite transform into colonies of pearlite with a fine interlamellar spacing (Fig. 1e).
By contrast, the films of retained austenite decompose into discrete particles of cementite and
ferrite because there is insufficient volume to establish the cooperative growth of pearlite [17].
Ferrite plate morphology still remains. Finally, there is a significant reduction in hardness to
~100 HV after 30 min at 600 °C due to coarsening of the microstructure, as shown in Fig. 1f.
Carbon atom maps and concentration profiles of bainite at the early stages of tempering (400 °C
for 30 min) reveal the presence of carbon-enriched regions randomly dispersed throughout the
ferrite matrix (see Fig. 2). These clusters are ~6 nm thick and have a maximum carbon content of
~14 at.%, much higher than that detected in austenite, but with chromium and manganese
contents too low (less than 2 at.%) to be identified as M6C carbide particles. These features
resemble those carbon clusters with a modulated structure consisting of alternating carbon-rich
and carbon-poor bands reported for Fe–Ni–C martensite after natural aging [19,20]. Taylor et al.
[20] attributed the nature of the carbon atom clustering processes to a spinodal decomposition
mechanism since the formation of the carbon cluster was found to occur via a continuous
increase in composition amplitude, which is characteristic of this kind of mechanism. However,
this fluctuation of solute concentration may be also associated with a redistribution of solute to
dislocations in bainite [4].

On the contribution of carbides and micrograin boundaries to the creep strength


of tempered martensite ferritic steels

Tempered martensite ferritic steels with 9-12% Cr are used for fossil fuel fired power
plant components operating in the creep range at temperatures between 773 and 923 K. Many of
the critical components in modern fossil fuel fired power plants consist of tempered martensite
ferritic steels [1-13]. As creep limits their service life, there is a need for understanding the role
of their microstructure during creep [14,15]. Typical laboratory heat treatments of tempered
martensite ferritic steels consist of austenitising (e.g. 1273 K, 1 h, air cooling) followed by
tempering (e.g. 1023 K, 2 h, air cooling) [15,4]. It is important to emphasise that the term
''tempered martensite ferritic steel'' is associated with the heat treatment history of these materials
and does not imply that the microstructure after heat treatment is martensitic. The microstructure
of tempered martensite ferritic steels consists of a high density of internal interfaces, carbides
and free dislocations in body centred cubic (bcc) ferrite [16-20]. The decrease of a high initial
density of free dislocations in tempered martensite ferritic steels accounts for a strong decrease
of creep rate during primary creep within a very small primary strain range of the order of <1%
[20,21]. Free dislocations therefore do not directly contribute to creep strength.
In contrast, internal interfaces and carbides increase the creep resistance of tempered
martensite ferritic steels because they represent obstacles to dislocation motion [15,22]. There
are several types of internal interfaces including prior austenite grain boundaries, prior packet or
block boundaries, prior martensite lath boundaries and subgrain boundaries [19]. Small
micrograins with low (>90% of the boundaries) and high angle boundaries (<10% of the
boundaries) represent the most prominent microstructural feature of tempered martensite ferritic
steels [19]. Finally, small carbides precipitate on or very close to the boundaries of these
micrograins [15,23-25].

It is well known that subgrain boundaries represent obstacles to dislocation motion during
creep [26,27] in materials which show pure metal type of creep behaviour [28]. Since a high
percentage of the micrograin boundaries in ultrafine grained tempered martensite ferritic steels
possess subgrain boundary character [19], it seems reasonable to assume that the ultrafine
micrograins are a decisive reason for their creep strength. It is also clear that carbides contribute
to the creep strength of tempered martensite ferritic steels. The mechanisms of particle
strengthening of creeping materials have been in the focus of materials science research for
several decades [29-34]. While particles have been shown to strengthen alloys in various ways,
their role in contributing to the creep strength of tempered mar-tensite ferritic steels has so far
not been fully understood. In crept tempered martensite ferritic steel specimens, Orowan type of
processes [29], where dislocation lines bow out between particles, are hardly ever observed. Nor
can detachment processes [35-37] (which govern creep of oxide dispersion strengthened
materials) be detected. It is also clear that strengthening effects associated with ordered
intermetallic lattices [33,34] do not account for the creep strength of tempered martensite ferritic
steels. Instead, it was suggested [38,39] that particles contribute to the creep strength of tempered
martensite ferritic steels by interrupting knitting reactions between free dislocations and sub-
grain boundaries [22] and by exerting Zener forces [40] on micrograin boundaries. In this
microstructural scenario, carbides play the role of pinning agents keeping micrograin boundaries
in place. Based on observations like those, the term ''carbide stabilised substructure hardening''
was proposed for the creep strengthening mechanism in tempered martensite ferritic steels
[38,39].
It seems reasonable to assume that carbides stabilise the micrograin boundaries in
tempered martensite ferritic steels. The first experimental evidence for a stabilising effect of
particles on subgrains was reported by Hausselt and Nix [46]. They performed a detailed study
on the effect of particles on the development of a dislocation substructure and found that more
strain is required to develop a homogeneous steady-state dislocation structure than in single-
phase metals. Secondly, the particles seemed to impede the development of a steady-state
dislocation structure, albeit indirectly. The micrographs presented in Ref. [46] suggest that
particles are rather statistically distributed and are not related to subgrain boundaries on a one to
one basis (each particle being situated on or very near a subgrain boundary) as is characteristic
for tempered martensite ferritic steels [38,39].
Thus, while there is a good qualitative understanding of the creep strengthening
mechanism in tempered martensite ferritic steels, it is not known how much exactly the micro-
grain boundary carbides contribute to creep strength. Dlouhy and co-workers [39] tackled this
problem. They used well thought out thermomechanical treatments to independently affect
micrograins and carbides in a 9% chromium tempered martensite ferritic steel (P91). During
creep, both micrograins and carbides coarsen, but while carbide coarsening is time dependent,
the growth of micro-grains more strongly depends on accumulated strain. Therefore, appropriate
aging treatments allow the mean carbide size to increase without strongly affecting the
micrograin size. Conversely, overaging followed by creep to different amounts of accumulated
strains results in different micrograin sizes while the precipitate population remains nearly
unaffected. From the creep response of such microstructures Dlouhy and co-workers [39] were
able to prove that there is an interaction between both strengthening effects. However, as was
carefully discussed by Dlouhy and co-workers [39], their method represents an indirect approach
which suffers from a number of drawbacks associated with microstructural complexity. Thus,
even the most sophisticated thermomechanical treatments do not allow to specifically affect only
micrograins without simultaneously affecting boundary carbides and vice versa. When carbides
precipitate on micrograin boundaries, it is difficult to differentiate between the carbide spacing
and the micrograin dimensions. In summary, it is presently not clear how strongly micrograin
boundary carbides affect the creep strength of tempered martensite ferritic steels.

Piezoelectric Nanogrinding

The piezoelectric nanogrinding process is a process that relies on using a nickel-coated


ceramic material with microscale diamond particles bonded to it that are cubo-octahedral in
shape to machine nanoscale features in a variety of workpiece materials. The diamonds are
bonded to the piezoelectric material by gaseous deposition, laser cladding, or directly bonding a
porous tool to the material via an adhesive paste. The process is executed by applying a known
sinusoidal frequency to the piezoelectric crystal in order to achieve a desired oscillatory
displacement. Rapid vibration of the crystal will allow material removal rates to be increased,
thus making it a nanomanufacturing process. The nanogrinding process is accompanied by wear
of the diamond grains, and the rate of this wear plays an important role in determining the
efficiency of the nanogrinding process and the quality of the nanomachined surface. Wear
mechanisms in nanogrinding processes appear to be similar to that of single-point cutting tools,
the only difference being the size of swarf particles generated. Fig. 10.1 shows the arrangement
of grinding swarf and abrasive grains that have been lost during the nanogrinding process.
Figure 10.1 shows abrasive grains with blunted cutting edges (wear flats), and abrasive
grains with sharp cutting edges that are released from the surface of the piezoelectric crystal
before they have chance to grind nanoscale chips from the surface of the workpiece.
The process suffers with a loss of diamond grains even when the interfacial adhesion
between diamond and piezoelectric material is very good. A more closely related process that
has been reported widely is that of the wear of probes used in atomic force microscopy [1,2].
However, these observations were purely experimental with no explanation of how to design
probes that inhibit, or retard, wear. Grinding ratios for processes at the nanoscale have not yet
been characterized. However, the complexities of wear of abrasive materials at any scale lead us
to believe that the variety of different and interacting wear mechanisms involved, namely, plastic
flow of abrasive, crumbling of the abrasive, chemical wear etc., makes the wear of diamond at
the nanoscale too complicated to be explained using a single theoretical model [3].

High-Temperature Electrochemical Synthesis of Oxide Thin Films


and Nanopowders of Some Metal Oxides

At present, metal oxides have been one of the most important class of industrial
compounds. In the last years, special attention of researchers all over the world has been focused
on the design and investigation into the properties of nanostructured coatings and powders [1, 2].
Nanocoatings and nanopowders are of particular scientific and practical interest for the
understanding of fundamental electrochemical properties of materials (dependence on the
particle size, development of new electronic devices with qualitatively new characteristics)
and the manufacturing of ceramic materials with a fine homogeneous structure (characterized by
the highest density, strength, and crack resistance) [3].
A large number of methods providing a way of preparing oxide thin coatings on metals or
oxide nanopowders have been developed to date. Anodic oxidation of metals in aqueous and
nonaqueous electrolytes and physical high-energy methods for producing nanopowders
through combustion, evaporation of metals with subsequent oxidation at low pressures, etc. [4–7]
have been most extensively used. However, the traditional anodic oxidation of metals in aqueous
solutions does not allow one to prepare powders with a developed surface, and all physical
methods described in the literature, as a rule, are very expensive, involve complexities in
application, and require a high vacuum.
All these disadvantages are absent in the proposed method of anodic oxidation of metals
in a chloride–nitrate melt. The high-temperature synthesis of metal oxides in molten salts offers a
number of advantages: (1) the possibility of varying the activity and/or reactivity of reactants,
(2) the possibility of varying the oxidation temperature (over a wide range) with the aim of
forming specific crystalline modifications, (3) a high reaction rate (reactions in liquid salt phases
are usually determined by the chemical equilibrium and proceed considerably faster as compared

to solid-phase reactions controlled by diffusion), and (4) a wide variety of possible chemical
reactions depending on the electrolyte composition and the interaction temperature.
The purpose of this study was to prepare tantalum pentoxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum
oxide, and zirconium dioxide nanopowders with grain sizes of no larger than 100 nm and to
fabricate oxide thin films through the oxidation of tantalum, titanium, aluminum, and zirconium
in a chloride melt containing sodium nitrate additives (0.1–50.0 wt %) in an argon atmosphere.
For our investigations, we chose the metals satisfying the following requirements: the
metals should have a high affinity to oxygen, their oxides should exhibit a high thermal stability
and strength, and these materials should be in large demand for different industrial applications.
Zirconium, titanium, tantalum, and aluminum (purity, 99.00%) served as the initial
materials for the oxidation. The experiments were performed in a three-electrode quartz cell with
an encapsulated Ag/AgCl reference electrode. A preliminarily fused and finely crushed eutectic
mixture of cesium and sodium chlorides was placed in a quartz tube. Sodium nitrate (reagent
grade, 0.1–30.0 wt %) was added to the tube.
In all cases, the total weight of the salts was equal to 50 g. The anodic polarization in the
potentiostatic mode was performed using a PI-50-1 potentiostat. The potential was changed in
steps of 10 mV for 10–30 min to the attainment of a constant current After performance of
required operations in the melt, the samples were washed, the cooled salt melt was dissolved in
distilled water, and the precipitate was filtered off and dried. The filtrate was analyzed on an
Optima 4300 DV spectrometer. The surface of the aluminum, titanium, zirconium, and tantalum
samples after oxidation and the powders separated from the solution were investigated using a
GEOL SM-5900 LV scanning electron microscope, a Camebax electron probe microanalyzer,
and a DRON-3 X-ray diffractometer.

Analysis of Microstructural Deformation

The availability of the co-ordinates of the atoms in MD calculations allows one to


visualize the instantaneous positions and to track the motion of the atoms individually as well in
sequence. This information is not only useful for so-called snapshots of atomic arrangements,
through which the progress of process simulations can be monitored, but it can be used for
dynamic analyses on the basis of animations as well. For this purpose often the radii of the atoms
are chosen in order to enhance a certain aspect or view of a specific arrangement than
representing realistic atomic sizes. Using instantaneous co-ordinates rather than averaged
positions, due to the vibration of the atoms, does not cause a significant error, because the
maximum vibration amplitude of an atom in a stable MD calculation is less than 1% of the
minimum bonding length.
The model in Fig. 7.1 was employed to study the chip formation process and the surface
generation at a cutting edge in nanoscale cutting. By employing onedimensional PBC along the
y-axis, the orthogonal cutting condition reduced the model to a quasi-2D type with a small width,
that allows one to correctly model the 3D fcc crystal structure of the copper workpiece. The
model contained 71,000 work atoms and 11,000 tool atoms. Atoms at the bottom and to the left
and right hand side of the model represent fixed boundaries, but were shifted with cutting speed
to create the relative motion between workpiece and tool. Atoms in the layers next to these hard
boundary atoms had thermostatic properties controlling the temperature at the workpiece
boundary. For diamond cutting of copper, no plastic and no significant elastic deformation of the
tool was expected, calculating its internal structure was not of special importance, but its shape
and surface structure were for the tool-workpiece interactions.
Its surfaces were formed by preferred diamond/fcc cleavage planes and were used as rake
and clearance faces. The edge radius was not chosen to be atomically sharp (2 nm) in order to
consider limited minimum edge radii because of surface stresses. To further provide a reasonable
tool-workpiece contact model, the tool structure had the atomic density of diamond. Although
the tool was modeled as a hard body with collectively moving atoms, i.e., no interaction within
the tool, the interaction potential between tool and workpiece atoms needed to be specified. Data

for the diamond/copper interactions based on a pair potential function were found. The cutting
forces were calculated as reaction forces at the tool due to its feed motion. The work atom
interactions are described by the EAM potential for copper. The cutting speed was restricted to
100 and 50 m/s. Lower speeds were not practical to simulate due to computational limitations.
Figure 7.1 shows a single-crystalline structure, that moved relative towards the cutting
tool, whereupon material is deformed in front of the tool tip, the chip generation is initiated and
dislocation loops can be identified at the generated workpiece surface. It shows areas of plastic
deformation, dislocations and large elastic deformations in the sub-surface region. The method is
based on horizontal and vertical connections between initial-neighbor atoms. Deformations show
as sharp equilateral folds in neighboring layer lines within the otherwise rectangular structure or
by narrowing mesh spacing as in case of strong elastic deformation. For large displacements
between initial-neighbor atoms, the bond was considered to be broken and was not drawn
anymore. In this way, highly deformed areas, like the chip and the newly generated surface,
show few initial-neighbor lines. Deep running dislocations, observed in 2D MD cutting
simulations if pair potentials are being used, could not be confirmed by employing this 3D model
and the better EAM potential. This model predicts intensive plastic deformation at the generated
surface with a thickness of only a few atom layers. At the same strain, a 2D model always
predicts larger dislocations than its 3D counterpart. The cutting process changes drastically when
changing the ratio of depth of cut to cutting edge radius from 0.5 to 1.0, depending also on the
crystalline orientation of the work. At a ratio of a/r=1.0, the tool begins to utilize more its rake
face for the chip formation. With the increase in depth of cut, the portion of twin dislocations in
chip formation increases over dislocation slipping. Such twinned areas can be seen ahead of the
tool and the chip. The lower energy requirement for twinning makes the chip removal process at
larger depth of cut more efficient and the cutting forces only increase under proportionally.
Figure 7.2 shows two subsequent 2D views of microstructural snapshots of the same model as in
Fig. 7.1, but at smaller depths of cut than before. Analyzing the changes in the microstructure
deepens the understanding of the mechanisms of material removal for specific cutting conditions.
In Fig. 7.2 areas with different crystal orientation are separated by lines and slip lines drawn for
identified dislocations. Until state (a) was reached, the pre-deformation area in cutting direction
(ahead of the chip) increased without an increase in chip length. Until state (b) was reached, this
process had stopped, the pre-deformation area decreased while the chip grew in size. The micro
structural plots show a change of the crystal orientation in the chip root area, that supports either
the deformation away from the chip root (a) or the chip formation in the chip root area.

Microstructures of Functionally Graded Materials Fabricated


by Centrifugal Solid-Particle and In-Situ Methods

The formation of gradients of chemical composition, phase distribution or microstructure


represents a now fervently pursued concept in the design of advanced engineering components.
In light of this concept, a significant progress has been made in the area of FGMs [1,2]. FGMs
are of practical interest because a wide gradation of physical and/or chemical properties can be
achieved across a given material depending on the material design. Thus, FGM holds continuous
changes of the microstructure, the composition and the properties in some specific directions,
i.e., inhomogeneous on both macroscopic and microscopic scales. On the other hand, particle-,
fiber- or platelet-dispersed composites are regarded as macroscopically homogeneous and
microscopically inhomogeneous.
Several FGM fabrication methods have been proposed [1,2]. One of the methods is a
centrifugal method, which is an application of the centrifugal casting technique [3-5]. In the
method, a centrifugal force applied to a homogeneous molten composite assists the formation of
the desired gradation.
The composition gradient is then achieved primarily by the difference in the centrifugal
force produced by the difference in density between the molten metal and solid particles. The
fabrication of the particle-dispersed FGMs made by the centrifugal method can be classified into
Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 131
two categories based on the liquidus temperature of the master alloy. One is a centrifugal solid-
particle method, where the processing temperature is lower than the liquidus temperature of the
master alloy as shown in Fig. 1(a), and the dispersed solid phase or particles in the master alloy
are stable in a liquid matrix. On the other hand, if the liquidus temperature is lower than the
processing temperature as shown in Fig. 1(b), a centrifugal force can be applied during the
solidification both to the nucleated intermetallic compound and to the molten matrix. This
method is named as a centrifugal in-situ method.
Centrifugal casting is a kind of a pressure casting method in which the centrifugal force,
when pouring molten metal into the mold, is increased related to the speed of rotation of the
mold [16]. The principal advantage of centrifugal casting is good mold filling combined with
good microstructural control, which usually facilitates excellent mechanical properties.
In general the segregation, caused by the density difference between the particle and the
melt, is avoided from the viewpoint of homogeneity. However, seeing from a different angle, it
is possible to create a composition gradient utilizing the difference in material density [3-5].
Fig. 2 shows the apparatus used for the centrifugal method in our studies. The ingot is
melted under an argon gas atmosphere and the plug is then pulled out to cast the molten metal
directly into the rotating mold through the inlet. The rotating mold is preheated before the
casting. The magnitude of the centrifugal force is expressed in G, which is the ratio of the
centrifugal force to the gravity. After casting, the mold-heating furnace is removed and the mold
is cooled in air until complete solidification occurs. The present products are rings having an
outer diameter of 90 mm and a thickness of over 10 mm.
The fabrication of the FGMs by the centrifugal method can be classified into two
categories depending on the processing temperature. Schematic illustration of Fig. 3 shows the
difference of mechanisms to form compositional gradients. An important parameter to control
the formation of graded composition in the centrifugal method is a G number and applied G
number is up to G = 250.
The FGMs introduced in this review are Al/SiC [6], Al/Shirasu [7], Al/Al3Ti [8-10],
Al/Al3Ni [11-13], Al/Al2Cu [14] and Al/(Al3Ti+Al3Ni) FGMs [15]. Since SiC and Shirasu
have higher melting points than processing temperatures, the dispersed solid phases in the master
alloy remained in liquid matrices. Therefore, these two systems are application of the centrifugal
solid-particle method. Al/Al3Ti FGM is also a typical example fabricated by the centrifugal
solidparticle method, since the liquidus temperature of Al-Ti master alloy is higher than the
processing temperature [17]. Al/Al3Ni and Al/Al2Cu FGMs are examples by the centrifugal in-
situ method. The liquidus temperatures of both Al-Ni and Al-Cu master alloys are enough lower
than the processing temperature [17]. The last one of Al/(Al3Ti+Al3Ni) FGM is named a hybrid
FGM and is fabricated from a view of scientific interest because the fabrication is done together
with the centrifugal solid-particle and in-situ methods. It uses Al-Ti and Al-Ni master alloys
simultaneously and the processing temperature is lower than the liquidus temperature of Al-Ti
master alloy but higher than that of Al-Ni master alloy.

Wet Chemical Deposition of Crystalline, Redispersable ATO and ITO Nanoparticles

Transparent conducting oxides deposited on glass and plastic are widely used as
transparent electrodes in the field of optoelectronic devices such as electrochromic windows,
solar cells, electroluminescence and liquid crystal displays [1]. Typically, the compounds are n-
type semiconductors such as indium tin oxide (ITO), fluorine or antimony doped tin dioxide
(FTO, ATO) or aluminium or gallium doped zinc oxide (AZO, GZO). Practically all known
coating processes have been used for their preparation [1, 2].
The preparation of transparent coatings by wet chemical processes using crystalline
powders is possible if stable suspensions of particles with sufficiently small size (<100 nm) can
be obtained. In conventional ceramics synthesis, particulate systems minimize their surface free
energy by growing into larger particles and forming larger agglomerates which are then difficult
to redisperse. These reactions can be avoided by controlling the growth of the particles during

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 132


the precipitation process and by adjusting the particle‟s surface free energy by in-situ surface
modification. The basic principle of this concept has been applied to many oxide materials [7–9].
The preparation of ATO and ITO powders was carried out as already reported [8, 9]. Colloidal
suspensions were prepared by redispersing the dried ITO and ATO powders in water or ethanol.
The ATO solutions are clear with a yellowish orange colour and no evidence of precipitation was
found after several months with a solid content up to 8.8 vol.%. The ITO suspensions showed a
blue colour and are stable (no precipitation) during several month with solid content up to 6.2
vol.%.
ATO coatings were deposited on clean borofloat substrates by spin coating process (2000
rpm, 15 s). ITO films were prepared by dip coating clean silica or borosilicate substrates at a
withdrawal speed of 3 mm/s. The thermal densification of the films was carried out in a furnace
in air up to 900ºC. ITO coatings were also annealed afterwards in a N2 atmosphere at a
temperature of 300ºC in order to decrease their resistivity. To deposit coatings on substrates
which do not withstand heat treatment at high temperature, the ITO suspension was modified by
adding up to 40 wt.% organofunctionalized silanes and a photostarter. These additives allow to
polymerise and harden the layer by UV irradiation at room temperature. ITO sols modified by
addition of alkoxysilanes were also used to coat glass substrates at room temperature by spraying
process.

Effect of Powder Synthesis Atmosphere on the Characteristics of Iron


Nanopowder in a Plasma Arc Discharge Process

Metal nanoparticles with a diameter between 10 and 100 nm have a wide range of
potential applications, including magnetic recording media, catalysts, conductive or resistive
pastes, ferrofluids, and others [1]. Iron is one of the main elements for the application of metal
nanoparticles in various industrial fields. Nano-size iron particles are of particular interest in
fundamental studies of magnetism. The magnetic properties of nano-sized iron particles,
prepared by varied methods under varied conditions, are very different [2,3].
The physical and chemical properties of metal nanoparticles strongly depend on the
particle and surface characteristics, including size, morphology, surface area, surface oxide, and
others. In practical applications of metal nanoparticles, the relationship between the preparation
process parameters and their properties should be identified.
Nanoparticles can be produced by several different methods, such as colloidal
precipitation, mechanical attrition, and a vapor condensation process [4,5]. The latter is the most
widely used method at present, based on its advantages of being relatively simple to scale up to
high-rate production.
Vapor condensation processes typically involve nucleation and growth of nanosized
particles from a supersaturated vapor produced either by the evaporation of bulk materials or by
the chemical reaction of gas-phase precursors. The plasma arc discharge process can be used for
preparing metal, ceramic, and their composite nanoparticles by vaporizationcondensation of
metals or alloys in an active atmosphere using a DC arc-plasma [6-9].
In the present study, nano iron particles were prepared by a plasma arc discharge process
in various powder synthesis atmospheres. The morphology, phase structure, and magnetic
property of the synthesized iron particles in the different synthesis atmospheres were
subsequently studied using FE-TEM, XRD, XPS, and a vibration sample magnetometer at room
temperature.
Fig. 1 shows the apparatus for preparing the nanoparticles by the plasma arc discharge
method. This apparatus basically consists of a vacuum chamber, a tungsten cathode, a copper
anode, a gas flow system, and a DC power supply. Pure bulk iron (above 99.99 % purity) was
used as the raw material. The vacuum chamber was evacuated to 10-5 Torr and then backfilled
with a hydrogen/argon mixture gas to 300 Torr. The arc plasma was then initiated between the
tungsten cathode and the bulk iron on the copper anode under an arc current of 60 A, an arc
voltage of 21~25 V, and a reaction time of 1 h. The mixing ratio of the hydrogen: argon was

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 133


varied from 1:9 to 5:5. Atomic iron smoke was subsequently generated around the arc spot area
of the molten iron. The nano iron particles were formed by collisions between the quenched iron
atoms due to collisions with the atmospheric gas atoms. The formed nano iron particles were
then separated with a working gas. Before the particles were removed from the chamber, they
were passivated in an argon/oxygen mixture atmosphere at room temperature for 12 h to prevent
any rapid spontaneous combustion. The variation in microstructure, phase structure, and
magnetic properties of the synthesized iron particles with the change in the mixing ratio of the
hydrogen/argon in the powder synthesis atmosphere were studied using FE-TEM, XRD, XPS,
and a vibration sample magnetometer at room temperature.

Formation of solidification microstructures in centrifugal cast functionally


graded aluminium composites

Functionally Graded Materials exhibit gradual transitions in the microstructure and/or the
composition in a specific direction, and hence different functional performance within a part.
FGMs are in their early stages of evolution and are expected to have a strong impact on the
design and development of new components and structures with better performance. The
conventional approach of materials selection for component design and fabrication is based on
the list of existing engineering materials. In the case of FGM approach of component design, an
„inverse design procedure‟ is followed, where the choice of basic material ingredients and
material processes are combined with three dimensional mechanical analysis to form the graded
structures and components for demanding applications. Even though the phenomena of graded
structures is prevalent in nature and some of the conventional engineering materials, a
formulated concept of making functionally graded materials had been proposed in mid-1980‟s in
Japan. Fabrication of FGM and their components with gradient microstructures and properties
are challenging and have technological relevance for the coming years. A wide variety of
processing methods such as chemical vapour deposition, physical vapour deposition, sol-gel
technique, plasma spraying, molten metal infiltration, self propagating, centrifugal casting,
diffusion bonding, laser cladding and controlled mould filling are being developed for the
fabrication of functionally graded metalceramic composites. Among these Centrifugal casting
has emerged as the simplest and cost effective technique for producing large size engineering
components of functionally graded metal matrix composites. Functionally graded aluminium
composites used for tribological components have attracted more and more interests in recent
years and are expected to be used in high speed rotating or reciprocating mass items such as
pistons, connecting rods, drive shafts, brake rotors and cylinder liners.
Centrifugal casting is the process, where molten metal is poured into a rotating or
spinning mould to solidify it to a desired shape by the high compressive pressure exerted by the
centrifugal force. The first patent on centrifugal casting process was obtained in England by
Echardt in 1809 and the first industrial use of the process was in 1848 in Baltimore, USA when
centrifugal casting was used to produce cast iron pipes [1]. Until the mid-1980s, the process was
used exclusively for the production of large symmetrical components such as pipes, bushings,
rolls for steel mills, bearings cylinders, shafting, gears and other shapes. Since then research and
development on centrifugal casting of metal matrix composites and on different types of
functionally graded materials (later in 1990s) were initiated. This process uses the radial forces
generated from centrifugal casting to segregate a second discrete phase from the matrix of
composite materials. When particle-containing slurry is subjected to centrifugal force, two
distinct zones of particle enriched and depleted are formed. The extent of particle segregation
and relative locations of enriched and depleted particles zones within the casting are mainly
dictated by the melt temperature, metal viscosity, cooling rate, the densities of the particle and
liquid, particle size and magnitude of centrifugal acceleration. Depending on the density of
particles, the lighter particles segregate towards the axis of rotation, while the denser particles
move away from the axis of rotation.

Both horizontal and vertical centrifugal casting methods are used for making FGMs.
There are various other variants and methods of using centrifugal casting techniques for making
FGM. Centrifugal infiltration process is one of the techniques, where a mold containing a packed
ceramic preform located at an end of an elongated runner is rotated and infiltrated with liquid
metal. By controlling the metal level above the preform in the runner, the pressure can be varied
during the infiltration process. In another process, continuous aluminium matrix composite wires
have been used as cylindrical preform material and liquid aluminium metal is poured and
infiltrated under centrifugal force. This process produces Aluminum Matrix Composite (AMC)
wire reinforced cylindrical aluminium component. Processing of FGM by centrifugal casting
having a vacuum chamber (vacuum pressure: P < 03 Pa) located in the extremity of a rotating
arm moving around a vertical axis is described by Velhinho et al [2]. During rotation of the
mould, the molten metal is forced to the cavity under centrifugal force and the particles in the
melt moves towards the extreme end. The variation in the structural features within a part or
component is predominant in the case of FGM formed from composite systems than in alloys. In
the case of aluminium matrix composites, the particle enriched zone of the heavier particles such
as SiC, alumina and zircon are at the outer periphery and the lighter particles such as graphite,
mica and microbaloons of carbon enrich at the inner periphery of horizontally spun cylindrical
centrifugal castings [3, 4]. The thickness of particle enriched zone decreases with increasing
pouring temperature and speed of rotation. Depending on the extent of gradation in
microstructure, the properties vary significantly or slightly. Large difference exists between the
particle enriched and depleted zones of centrifugally cast FGM and hence it is difficult to
generalize their properties. During centrifugal casting, the segregation of particles due to particle
movement is slowed down as a result of decreasing melt temperatures and crowding of particles
occurring in progressively narrow zones during solidification. Velhinho et al producing a
functionally graded SiCp reinforced aluminium matrix composites by centrifugal casting have
observed that SiC particles are partially clustered with some pores due to imperfect wetting of
ceramic particles by the molten aluminium alloy [2]. Hence, proper wetting between the particles
and the matrix is necessary to reduce particles clustering.
In Al-SiC FGM, a graded distribution of SiC particles are observed near the outer
periphery of the casting and higher strength and modulus are observed near the outer periphery.
Unlike other castings, sampling is also a difficult job. One of the approaches in sampling is
selecting specimens from different locations representing the diverse composition or
concentration of phases or particles within a component. Only few experimental studies are
carried out on evaluation of mechanical properties by this approach. Results of tensile tests
performed on specimens taken from different positions of the functionally graded Al
(A359)/SiCp composite produced by centrifugal casting have shown that ultimate tensile
strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), the hardness and modulus of the FGM are higher near the
outer periphery compared to the inner [5]. Further higher hardness values are observed near the
outer periphery with higher rpm (1300) than lower one (700) due to the presence higher
percentage of SiC particle near outer periphery in the former case. The gradient distribution of
particles in FGM allows the matrix to absorb the energy by plastic deformation leading to
improvement in fracture toughness. The fracture toughness of Al 359/20 vol% SiCp FGM
composite is low for small crack lengths due to the limited dissipation of energy by the thick
concentration of SiCp at the edge. On the contrary, for longer crack lengths and decreased SiC
content, the material surrounding the crack tip is able to plastically deform more. Therefore,
there is more absorption of the energy imposed by the external loads leading to increased
fracture toughness of the composite [5]. Al-Graphite FGMs show higher volume fraction of
graphite particles near the inner periphery of the casting [3].
FGMs fabricated by centrifugal casting. Al-SiC FGM fishing boat cable pulleys are
reported to be fabricated successfully by centrifugal casting method. Centrifugal casting has been
applied to develop clutch drums composed of hard TiC particles embedded in aluminium bronze
matrix for naval applications. The lighter TiC particles, initially suspended in the heavier molten
bronze, migrate to the centre during centrifugal casting, producing a highly abrasion resistant
carbide-rich inner surface. Selectively reinforced casting MMC Power train Components have
Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 135
been developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories for the automotive sector using
centrifugal casting. Thus, engineering components requiring functionally graded properties can
be identified, designed and fabricated through centrifugal casting. Even though few selected
systems are investigated and reported in the literature, there is lot of scope for investigating
newer possible FGM systems as well as effect of various parameters on the structure and
properties.

Characterization of nanoscale iron and its degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol

Gillham and O‟Hannesin found that granular iron can be exploited for in situ remediation
of groundwater in the 1990s [1−3], leading to the development and proliferation of a number of
environmental applications with zero-valent iron for the transformation and degradation removal
of chlorinated organic compounds in groundwater and soil, particularly so far as nanoscale iron
is concerned [4−11].
Ample evidence indicates that compared to conventional zero-valent iron, nanoscale iron
particles offer much more advantages for treatment of chlorinated organic pollutants with high
dechlorination efficiency due to their small particle sizes, large specific surface area, high
surface reactivity [4], and the tendency to remain suspended for extending periods of time (6−8
weeks) under very gentle agitation [5].
Despite the potential for transformation of chlorinated contaminants, the zero-valent iron
still faces the challenges as follows: (1) incomplete dechlorination leading to production and
accumulation of chlorinated byproducts due to the low reactivity of iron powders toward lightly
chlorinated hydrocarbons; (2) decrease of iron reactivity over time, probably due to the
formation of surface passivation layers or the precipitation of metal hydroxides and carbonates
(e.g., Fe(OH)2, FeCO3, etc.) on the surface of iron [4]. Nevertheless, nanoscale zero-valent iron
provides an alternative technology with promising for reductive dechlorination of chlorinated
organic pollutants.
Due to the benzene ring structure and the presence of chlorine atoms, chlorinated phenols
are exceptionally recalcitrant towards biodegradation. Since chlorinated phenols were widely
used as industrial chemicals, intermediates for organic synthesis, herbicides and pesticides, they
came into the environment through both their manufacturing process and the industrial uses, and
became a kind of important contaminant in soils, sediments and aquifers as well as in the
groundwater. Most chlorophenols (e.g, 2,4-dichlorophenol, abbrev. 2, 4-DCP) are listed as
priority pollutants by the US EPA (1988) and Environmental Monitoring of China.
In this paper, nanoscale iron ultrafine carbonyl powder (Nanotechnology Centre, Central
Iron and Steel Research Institute) is detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray
diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Experiments are performed to
investigate the reduction of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by the nanoscale iron. To improve its
performance, dilute HCl is used to remove the passivation layers and activate the particle
surfaces. The adsorption and dechlorination properties of the nanoscale iron with and without
HCl treatment are finally discussed for comparison.
2,4-DCP being of analytical grade was from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Corporation;
phenol standard solution was obtained from National Institute of Metrology, China; methanol
with analytical grade was from Fisher Scientific, USA; purified water was from Wahaha Group.
Nanoscale iron ultrafine powder was obtained from China Iron and Steel Research Institute
Group and manufactured via the vapour deposition process by the thermolysis of carbonyl iron
under N2 protection.

Diffuse optical harmonic generation in SiC nanopowder films: hunting scattered
photons

Powder materials offer new strategies for laser physics and optical technologies and have
been intensely studied in the context of fundamental phenomena related to the propagation of
light in disordered systems [1, 2]. Scattering of light in powder materials gives rise to a number
of fascinating and practically significant physical effects, including Anderson-type localization
of light [2–4] and lasing [5, 6] with randomly distributed feedback provided by disorder-induced
scattering. Interference effects in disordered media give rise to interesting new phenomena in
nonlinear optics, leading to the appearance of sharp peaks in the angular distribution of the
second-harmonic intensity [7], resulting in correlations of second-harmonic waves in
transmission and reflection [8], and allowing the integration of lasing and second-harmonic
generation capabilities by the use mixtures of powders [9]. The importance of scattering effects
for the enhancement of optical harmonic generation in porous silicon [10] and porous gallium
phosphide [11] has recently been demonstrated. Nonlinear optics is also a powerful tool for
composition-, morphology-, and spatial-symmetrysensitive analysis and time-resolved studies of
nanocomposite materials, as well as assemblies of nanocrystals and nanoclusters [12–15]. An
understanding of scattering-induced effects in nonlinear optics would allow harmonic-generation
and wave-mixing methods of laser metrology to be extended to strongly scattering media, giving
new insights into fundamental aspects of nonlinear scattering problems and permitting practical
devices to be created with the use of nanopowder and nanocrystal materials.
In this paper, we explore the potential of powder materials for nonlinear optical
frequency conversion. We investigate second- and third-harmonic generation (THG) in polymer
films doped with a silicon carbide (SiC) nanopowder. Due to its pronounced polytypism, SiC is a
challenging and an extremely interesting object for nonlinear optics. The properties of the
second-order nonlinear susceptibility of SiC have been analyzed recently in several detailed
theoretical papers [16, 17], with a few experimental works [18–22] demonstrating the potential
of second-harmonic generation for the investigation of a broad class of SiC samples [18, 19],
including SiC nanopowders [20] and SiC-nanocrystal-doped polymers [21, 22].
The procedure employed to produce nanopowder films used in our experiments included
two stages [22]. In the first stage, silicon carbide nanopowders were produced by laser synthesis
from gaseous precursors. An important advantage of this technique is that it allows nanopowders
with a narrow distribution of nanoparticle sizes to be synthesized.
The laser synthesis process starts with the injection of silane gas (SiH4) into a reaction
chamber, where this gas is mixed with acetylene. Silane molecules absorb 10.6-μm radiation of a
1.5-kWcw CO2 laser, which leads to gas heating and dissociation of silane and acetylene
molecules. The production and growth of nanopowder grains in the reaction plume follows this
dissociation process. Argon and nitrogen gases are also delivered to the reaction chamber. The
function of argon is to confine the silane–acetylene flow, carry the reaction products, and clean
the focusing lens by preventing powder deposition. Nitrogen is injected at the output of the
exhaust throttle valve to dilute the remainder of the silane and acetylene to avoid the formation
of flames at the output of the rotating pump. The dimensions of the nanopowders typically
ranged from 10 to 80 nm.
In the second stage of nanopowder film preparation, PMMA/SiC nanocomposite films
were produced by an in situ polymerization methodology. This preparation strategy includes
dispersing the inorganic nanoparticles into a precursor of a polymeric matrix (monomer). This
mixture is then polymerized by adding an appropriate catalyst [23, 24]. The advantage of
utilizing the in situ polymerization technique with respect to other methods is related to the
possibility of more direct and easier dispersion of nanoparticles in the liquid precursor of the
polymeric matrix. This allows the agglomeration of nanopowders in polymer matrices to be
avoided and improves the interfacial interactions between the two components. Nanopowder
samples were produced by adding different concentrations of SiC nanoparticles (from 0.25 to
0.5wt.%) to methylmethacrylate containing 1 wt.% of an organic peroxide. This mixture was
stirred mechanically at 90 ◦C until the critical viscosity corresponding to the prepolymerization
Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 137
phase of the monomer was achieved. The viscous mixture was then inserted into a mould and
kept at 100 ◦C for 24 h to complete the polymerization process. Finally, the nanocomposites thus
obtained were kept for 4 h at 140 ◦C to ensure that the entire pre-polymer fraction had been
converted. The yield of polymerization was estimated as 90%–96%.
Luminescent spectroscopy studies [21] indicated the predominance f the 6H-SiC polytype
in the prepared samples. Typical surface SEM images of a nanopowder film with 0.25 wt.% of
SiC are presented in Fig. 1a and b. The SEM data were used to estimate the characteristic sizes
of the nanoparticles in the films, as well as to assess the spatial distribution of SiC nanocrystals
and to detect agglomerates. Nanopowder films with a low content of SiC were characterized by a
spatially uniform distribution of SiC nanocrystals and a sufficiently high transmission (around
75% for 1-μm radiation in the case of nanopowder films with 0.25 wt.% of SiC). As the
concentration of the SiC nanopowder was increased, nanoparticles tended to agglomerate [21],
dramatically increasing the absorption of laser radiation. We therefore chose to work with low-
SiC-content nanopowder films in our nonlinear optical experiments.

Analysis of Particle and Crystallite Size in Tungsten Nanopowder Synthesis

EXTENSIVE research over the last two decades on both metals and ceramics has shown
that the sintering of highly agglomerated nanocrystalline powders usually results in bulk
compacts with grain sizes in the micrometer range. In many cases, this is due to the long
sintering times and high temperatures associated with the specific sintering technique, which
inevitably results in significant grain growth. However, in cases where the sintering time is kept
purposefully short and the processing temperatures are lowered, such as in spark plasma
sintering (SPS), grain growth can still be significant due to the agglomerated nature of the
powders. Indeed, it has been found that for some materials, the particle (i.e., agglomerate) size of
powders tends to define the final grain size of the dense compact under typical SPS conditions.
Thus, characterizing the crystallite size of a powder from X-ray diffraction or transmission
electron microscopy is necessary, but not sufficient, in order to determine the sintering behavior
of a powder and the final grain size after completion of sintering.
We report here the synthesis and characterization of tungsten nanopowders of varying
degrees of agglomeration. The motive behind this work is twofold: (1) to develop a precipitation
process for the synthesis of tungsten nanopowders and (2) to determine the effect of processing
conditions on both the crystallite size and the particle (agglomerate) size of the powders. Our
interest in this material is justified both from an applications point of view and as a model
metallic material to elucidate behavior of high-temperature metals during postsynthesis heat
treatments of powders prepared by precipitation. Thermal treatments are usually necessary when
using precipitation processes for nanopowder preparation, and they can affect the levels of
agglomeration very dramatically, depending on the particular material, in turn affecting the
sintering behavior of the powders.
Several techniques have been used for the preparation of nanocrystalline powders of
tungsten and tungsten oxides, with varying degrees of success. These include self-propagating
high-temperature synthesis, reverse micelle synthesis, thermal methods, mechanical milling, and
electrochemical techniques. Most of the resulting powders from these processes are very likely
heavily agglomerated, although a determination of the levels of agglomeration have not been
reported in most cases. In this study, we endeavor to present a full analysis of morphology from
the perspective of both the crystallite size and particle size.

(например, Маккарти, Макдоналдс, Маккензи). Если в середине имени встречаются
предлог, союз или частица, то они пишутся через дефис и со строчной буквы, например:
Fernandez у Gõzâles – Фернандес-и-Гонcалес.

Названия торговых марок на русский язык, как правило, не переводятся, а


транслитерируются. Рекомендуется руководствоваться языковым узусом при решении
конкретных переводческих задач, связанных с передачей названий торговых марок.

Краткий курс перевода научно-технической литературы 140


Наименования иностранных фирм, компаний, акционерных обществ, корпораций,
концернов, монополий, промышленных объединений и т.п. транскрибируют и
заключают в кавычки; перед названием ставят обобщающее слово «фирма», «компания»,
«акционерное общество», «концерн», «корпорация» и т.п. – в зависимости от их
традиционного употребления в русскоязычной литературе. С прописной буквы в этих
названиях пишут только первое слово и имена собственные. Примеры: Montedison –
концерн «Монтэдисон», La Société Anticorrosion – фирма «Сосьете антикорозьон». Вместе
с тем следует отметить современную тенденцию к отказу от практической транскрипции
наименований фирм в информационных, научно-технических и даже юридических
текстах и к использованию вместо этого их написания на латинице (т.е. «самолет
компании TWA» вместо «самолет компании «Ти-Дабл‟ю-Эй»)

Союзы и предлоги в названиях (the, and, of, und, et и др.) транскрибируют (зе, энд, оф,
унд, э) и пишут со строчной буквы. Встречающиеся в наименованиях фирм сокращения
Corp., Со., Ltd., Inc., GmbH, GmuH, К.К. и др., если они не являются составной частью
наименования, в переводе можно опускать, например: Union Carbide Co. – фирма «Юнион
Карбайд», Fawsett Preston and Co. – фирма «Фосетт Престон энд компани», Henschel-
Werke GmbH – фирма «Хеншель-верке». Однако в переводах на русский язык,
предназначенных для официального использования и последующего нотариального
заверения, слова, обозначающие форму собственности, опускать нельзя. В таких случаях
название компаний требуется переводить так, как их зарегистрировали в России (как
записано, например, в уставных документах).

Фирменные наименования машин, приборов, различных химических веществ, изделий,


материалов, выраженные одним или несколькими словами, транскрибируют и заключают
в кавычки, причем первое слово пишут с прописной буквы. Фирменные наименования,
ставшие широко употребительными, пишут без кавычек и со строчной буквы. При этом,
если за словом следует цифра или буква, то между словом и цифрой (буквой) ставят
дефис, например: Goodright-2007 – «Гудрайт-2007», Hastelloy X – сплав хастеллой-Х. В
ряде случаев (в спецификациях и т.д.) рекомендуется сохранять в тексте оригинальные
названия и наименования во избежание возможных осложнений при использовании
перевода, например, для оформления заказа на оборудование.

Названия иностранных журналов в тексте перевода, библиографических ссылках и в


списке литературы оставляют в оригинальном написании без кавычек. При этом
соблюдаются правила употребления прописных и строчных букв, присущие исходному
языку.

Советы начинающему техническому переводчику


(дано по изданию: Климзо Б.Н. Ремесло технического
переводчика. – М.: «Р.Валент», 2006. – С. 465–466).

Рекомендуется:

• Опираться в первую очередь на логику и контекст, и уже затем на словарь.


• Стремиться к максимально точному выбору слова.
• Анализировать предложения не только на синтаксическом,
но и на логическом уровне, чтобы правильно расставлять акценты.
• Устранять неприемлемые по нормам русского языка английские лаконичность и
импликации.
• Разбивать длинные предложения.
• Устранять очевидные синонимы.
• Расшифровывать аббревиатуры.
• Переводить описание рисунков и графиков, а также таблицы, обращаясь к
относящемуся к ним тексту, а текст – сверяясь с рисунками, графиками и таблицами.
• Заголовки переводить в последнюю очередь.
• Встречаясь с многозначными словами, не полагаться на память и обращаться к словарю.
• Следить за своим стилем изложения.
• Проверять «написанные с ходу» слова, в которых не уверен, по словарю русского языка.
• Иметь представление о системах единиц измерения и при необходимости
пересчитывать размерности.
• Читать статьи в российских научно-технических журналах, обращая внимание на стиль
изложения и словоупотребление в этой литературе.
• Заканчивать работу собственным редактированием. (Время, затрачиваемое на
редактирование, невелико, но достигаемый эффект огромен: уточняется смысл,
унифицируются термины, обнаруживаются пропуски, устраняются глазные ошибки,
шлифуется стиль.)

Не рекомендуется:

• Переводить буквально (т.е. переводить слово словом, копировать синтаксис, забывать


о разной лексической сочетаемости в двух языках и о разном управлении).
• Слепо верить тексту оригинала (возможны оговорки автора, описки, нарушения
логики).
• Слепо верить словарям.

Запрещается:

• Выступать в роли самозваного соавтора (дополнять автора, пояснять в скобках мысль


автора).
• Вводить отсутствующие в оригинале кавычки и «спасительные» слова
«так называемый».
• Самовольно вводить синонимы термина (из соображения «не наскучить» читателю).
• Опускать непонятные фрагменты текста.
• Оставлять непонятое и переведенное наугад место, не попытавшись
проконсультироваться со специалистом.
