Translations

Inoculant

inoculant

[i′näk·yə·lənt] (metallurgy) A substance which augments a melt, usually in the latter part of the melting operation, thus altering the solidification structure of the cast metal, as in grain refinement of aluminum alloys.

Inoculant

a substance added to a metal or alloy in small quantities, causing a significant change in its structure and properties. The effect of such treatment is called inoculation.

According to the classification of P. A. Rebinder, inoculants are divided into two groups. The first group includes surface-active substances, which are adsorbed on the nuclei that form on crystallization centers and retard their growth, resulting in the appearance of a large number of new nuclei, whose growth becomes possible as the concentration of the inoculant on their surfaces decreases.

Inoculants of the second type facilitate the formation of crystallization centers, such as colloidal particles, which affect the nucleation of crystals of the metallic phase during hardening. Upon the appearance of a large number of such centers, there is increased formation of fine granules of the principal phase or fine inclusions of other phases. Phases that otherwise would not be formed in the material sometimes crystallize on such centers.

Inoculants of both groups disintegrate granules (inclusions), but inoculants of the first group enhance the supercooling of melts during crystallization, and those of the second group reduce supercooling.

Q. Do Vaccines cause Autism? I have heard all over the news lately that the vaccines we give our children can cause Autism. Is this true? Is it dangerous? Should I vaccinate my one year old son?A. NO

Q. Who Should Receive the Flu Vaccine? Should I go get vaccinated for the flu? I have been told it is advised only for certain people, so who should receive this vaccine?A. before you would like to go on with any vaccination, you should check out this very long list of links and create your own opinion:
http://www.aegis.ch/neu/links.html
at the bottom you will also find links in english. vaccinations in general are very disputable/dubious and it is probably time that we learn about it.

Q. Does the flu vaccine protect from all kinds of flu? If I get a flu vaccine does that mean I am completely protected from getting the flu?A. No, the vaccine does not give complete protection from all the flu types out there. The vaccine protects from the most common types of flu, which are: H3N2, H1N1 and one B virus.
