Material: notched cylindrical specimen of a nickel based steel, cold worked 30% to a minimum yield strength of 1034 MPa (150 ksi).  The specimen was pre-charged for 4 weeks at -1100 mV vs SCE in 50°C (122°F), 3.5%NaCl water.  The tensile testing took place in room temperature air at a strain rate of 1 x10^-6 /s. 

This "smiling" fracture surface image was taken at 250x using Clarkson's JEOL JSM 6300 SEM with 15 kV and a working distance of 12 mm.  Location of the “smile” is in the middle of the specimen fracture surface. 

This work was being conducted as part of Dr. LaCoursiere’s graduate research studies in the Materials Science & Engineering Program (MS&E) Ph.D. program at Clarkson University, Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering, Potsdam, NY.

Quilting:  Deborah Lamb-Mechanick

The NeedleChasers of Chevy Chase is an eclectic, creative guild of quilters who meet regularly to share the joy of quilting, to inspire and learn from one other, and contribute to the community.  Our members range from beginning quilters to accomplished artists, and from those who treasure traditional quilting to those who push design boundaries with bold, contemporary work.  We welcome new and experienced quilters.  Please see our schedule and join us at our next meeting.
