A calcium–aluminium-rich inclusion or Ca–Al-rich inclusion (CAI) is a submillimeter- to centimeter-sized light-colored calcium- and aluminium-rich inclusion found in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. The four CAIs that have been dated using the Pb-Pb chronometer yield a weighted mean age of 4567.30 ± 0.16 Myr.
The following inclusion types can also be found in aluminium alloys: alumina needles (Al 2 O 3), nitrides (AlN), iron oxides (FeO), manganese oxides (MnO), fluorides (Na 3 AlF 6, NaF, CaF 2, …), aluminium borides (AlB 2, AlB 12), borocarbides (Al 4 C 4 B). Bone ash (Ca 3 (PO 4) 2) sometimes added to patch cracks in the trough can be found as ...
Al-Ca composite is a high-conductivity, high-strength, lightweight composite consisting of sub-micron-diameter pure calcium metal filaments embedded inside a pure aluminium metal matrix. The material is still in the development phase, but it has potential use as an overhead high-voltage power transmission conductor . [ 1 ]
A U.S. military appeals court has ruled that plea deals related to the man accused of masterminding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and two accomplices can proceed after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ...
The main constituent, and also the most reactive phase, of calcium aluminate cements is the monocalcium aluminate (CaAl 2 O 4 = CaO · Al 2 O 3, also written as CA in the cement chemist notation). It usually contains other calcium aluminates as well as a number of less reactive phases deriving from impurities in the raw materials.
Keanu Reeves' stolen luxury watch collection — which includes a $9000 Rolex — has been located by police in Chile, according to a report.. Local police confirmed that they found an engraved ...
The replacement of one divalent Ca 2+ cation by a trivalent Al 3+ cation, or to a lesser extent by a Fe 3+ cation, with a Ca:Al ratio of 2:1 (one Al substituted for every 3 cations) causes an excess of positive charge in the sheet: 2[2Ca (OH) 2 ·(Al,Fe)(OH) 2] + to be compensated by 2 negative charges X –.
Natural calcium is a mixture of five stable isotopes (40 Ca, 42 Ca, 43 Ca, 44 Ca, and 46 Ca) and one isotope with a half-life so long that it is for all practical purposes stable (48 Ca, with a half-life of about 4.3 × 10 19 years). Calcium is the first (lightest) element to have six naturally occurring isotopes. [14]
