Polyethylene-carbon material for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell bipolar plates by Paul S. Greenwood, Rui Chen, Rob Thring

“…Composites of polyethylene and carbon were mixed using a two-roll mill and injection moulded. Micrographs of the polyethylene-carbon (PE-C) blends show how the microstructure of the polyethylene network and carbon particles provide increased mechanical properties but further addition of carbon leads to the degradation of these properties. …”

Oxidation of austenitic and duplex stainless steels during primary processing by Mark A.E. Jepson

“…This process is called "reheat", and commonly takes place in large, propane-fired walking beam furnaces at temperatures in excess of 1200°C for times of 2 or more hours. During reheat, a thick oxide scale will form which, if left in place during cold working, may cause damage to the surface of the final cold rolled product. …”
