An enhanced aluminum alloy galvanically compatible with a magnesium alloy component is disclosed. The aluminum alloy comprises aluminum, less than 0.2 weight percent copper, less than 0.2 weight percent iron, 6.0 to 9.0 weight percent silicon, 0.6 to 1.5 weight percent magnesium, and greater than 0.8 weight percent manganese. The aluminum alloy further comprises less than 2 weight percent zinc, less than 0.1 weight percent nickel, less than 0.2 weight percent tin, less than 0.05 weight percent titanium; and 0.008 to 0.02 weight percent strontium. Manganese and iron have a weight ratio of at least 30:1. Furthermore, iron and manganese combined content is less than 2.0 weight percent.
Cross-Correlation Of Metrics For Anomaly Root Cause Identification
Technologies are disclosed herein for cross-correlating metrics for anomaly root cause detection. Primary and secondary metrics associated with an anomaly are cross-correlated by first using the derivative of an interpolant of data points of the primary metric to identify a time window for analysis. Impact scores for the secondary metrics can be then be generated by computing the standard deviation of a derivative of data points of the secondary metrics during the identified time window. The impact scores can be utilized to collect data relating to the secondary metrics most likely to have caused the anomaly. Remedial action can then be taken based upon the collected data in order to address the root cause of the anomaly.
Hydrogen storage systems using non-pyrophoric hydrogen storage alloys
A hydrogen storage system includes a hydrogen storage alloy containment vessel comprising an external pressure containment vessel and a thermally conductive compartmentalization network disposed within the pressure containment vessel. The compartmentalization network creates compartments within the pressure vessel within which a hydrogen storage alloy is disposed. The compartmentalization network includes a plurality of thermally conductive elongate tubes positioned within the pressure vessel forming a coherent, tightly packed tube bundle providing a thermally conductive network between the hydrogen storage alloy and the pressure vessel. The hydrogen storage alloy is a non-pyrophoric AB.sub.2-type Laves phase hydrogen storage alloy having: an A-site to B-site elemental ratio of not more than 0.5; and an alloy composition including (in at %): Zr: 2.0-5.5, Ti: 27-31.3, V: 8.3-9.9, Cr: 20.6-30.5, Mn: 25.4-33.0, Fe: 1.0-5.9, Al: 0.1-0.4, and/or Ni: 0.0-4.0.

Cr—Fe—Ni-based alloy product
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an alloy product which has both of high corrosion resistance enough to withstand severe corrosive/high-temperature environments and mechanical properties equivalent to or better than those of stainless steel, and which can be produced at lower cost than a Ni-based alloy. The Cr—Fe—Ni-based alloy product of the present invention is a product produced using a Cr—Fe—Ni-based alloy containing Cr as a largest-content component, wherein the product has such a microstructure that a dual-phase structure having a ferrite phase and an austenite phase coexisting therein serves as a matrix phase and an L1.sub.2-type Ni-based intermetallic compound phase is dispersed and precipitated in the austenite phase.
Submerged combustion burners, melters, and methods of use
Submerged combustion burners having a burner body and a burner tip connected thereto. The burner body has an external conduit and first and second internal conduits substantially concentric therewith, forming first and second annuli for passing a cooling fluid therethrough. A burner tip body is connected to the burner body at ends of the external and second internal conduits. The burner tip includes a generally central flow passage for a combustible mixture, the flow passage defined by an inner wall of the burner tip. The burner tip further has an outer wall and a crown connecting the inner and outer walls. The inner and outer walls, and the crown are comprised of same or different materials having greater corrosion and/or fatigue resistance than at least the external burner conduit.
