Production of effective materials on the basis of sulfuric acid industry wastes

Introduction. Solving the urgent problem of the production of special concretes using certain varieties of substandard natural raw materials and a number of industrial wastes will support introducing the principles of resource saving and improving the technological features of production.Aim. To make a comprehensive assessment of the impact of sulfuric acid production wastes and substandard natural clay raw materials on the production of high-quality and durable concretes for special purposes.Materials and methods. Easily fusible clay rocks serve as a raw material for the production of expanded clay gravel. Organic (solar oil) and ferruginous (pyrite cinders) additives were used. X-ray analysis was carried out to determine the crystalline phases in the clay of the Nikolskoe oil-field, in the resulting expanded clay gravel, as well as to analyze the factory bulk samples of pyrite cinders. A tubular electric furnace was used for firing in a two-stage mode of 700 and 1100 °C to obtain high-strength expanded clay gravel under laboratory conditions. The research involved studying parameters of phosphate binder formation and properties of iron phosphate concrete based on H3PO4 and sulfuric acid industry wastes – pyrite cinders.Results. It was found that Nikolskoye field clay forms a good raw material for the production of high-strength heavy expanded clay gravel with a strength of up to 550 kg/cm2, water absorption of 1.5 % and resistance to aggressive environments, thereby making it suitable for manufacturing special concretes. The results obtained specify the test methods and technical requirements, control methods and product acceptance rules, thus improving the quality and durability of the concretes considered.Conclusions. The investigated non-bloating clay can be used with organic and ferruginous additives to obtain high-strength expanded clay gravel for the manufacture of structural concretes. A mixed iron phosphate binder serves for producing heat-resistant concretes for linings of melting and casting units in non-ferrous metallurgy with high resistance and durability.

Experimental investigation of two-stage NH3–H2O resorption heat storage system with solution concentration difference

Widespread application of solar energy is severely restricted to its instability in time and space. Heat storage system is considered to be one of the most effective pathways to achieve long-term heat supply. Among all the heat storage technologies, solution concentration difference storage technologies stand out for low heat loss and high energy density. By substituting condenser and evaporator in conventional absorption cycle with a high-pressure absorber and low-pressure generator, a resorption cycle could be established. Compared with absorption heat storage cycle, working pressure of resorption heat cycle is lower, making it possible to utilize low-pressure heat source. Two-stage heat source cycle is further proposed to lower working pressure and upgrading supply water temperature. Resorption energy storage cycle with solution concentration difference is established and studied. A prototype based on two-stage ammonia-water resorption heat storage cycle was set up and tested. The result shows that the constraint relation between ambient temperature and heat source temperature of the proposed system. In single-stage mode, the lowest working ambient temperature is 5 °C when heat source temperature is 90 °C. The lowest working ambient temperature could be declined to 0 °C when heat source temperature rises to 120 °C. In two-stage mode, the lowest working ambient temperature is 0 °C when heat source temperature is only 110 °C, which proves the adaptability of two-stage cycle. The highest ESCOP appears in the 15 °C–120 °C single-stage mode, which is 0.742. The highest COP is 1.324 under the same condition. The highest energy density occurs in two-stage mode, which is 467.07 kJ/kg when ambient and heat source is set as 15 °C, 120 °C. The advantage that two-stage mode could enlarge solution concentration difference is verified.

Hybrid-Type DAB Converter With DC Blocking Capacitor for Ultrawide Input-Voltage Range

In this letter, a hybrid-type dual active bridge topology with dc blocking capacitor for ultra-wide input voltage is proposed. The proposed topology can expand the gain range by introducing voltage offset across the dc blocking capacitor, and has the ability to operate in single-stage or two-stage mode. The control strategy is also designed, which adopts the minimum resistive loss under the premise of soft switching as the optimization object to derive the operating boundary of the optimal modes. The proposed methodology avoids the additional loss caused by the increased devices of the traditional two-stage converters, and also avoids the efficiency dip of traditional converters with dc blocking capacitor at non-optimal voltage matching points. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified by experimental results.

Silver ions-regulated two-stage photoluminescence transformations of glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters from near-infrared (NIR) to visible region: Anti-galvanic reaction and Ag deposition

In the present study, glutathione-capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@GSH) were prepared by an improved hydrothermal method, which showed near-infrared (NIR) emission centered at 805 nm. Besides, Ag+ can induce the NIR emission transformations in a two-stage mode under different concentration ranges of Ag+. At the first stage (0.50–15 μM), a new emission at 615 nm was generated while the original NIR emission was quenched upon Ag+ addition; at the second stage (15–120 μM), it shifted to 720 nm gradually along with more Ag+ addition, which realized precise regulation of the emission range of metal nanoclusters from red to NIR region. The in-depth mechanism investigation revealed the transformations in both stages originated from the anti-galvanic reaction (AGR) of AuNCs toward Ag+ and Ag deposition. In detail, the first stage was attributed to the formation of bimetallic gold and silver nanoclusters (Au-AgNCs); while the second stage ascribed to the Ag deposition-induced size growth and composition changes of Au-AgNCs. Therefore, the present study supplies a simple and rapid method for preparing NIR-emitted AuNCs and provides a facile approach to regulate the photoluminescence ranges based on the AGR and Ag deposition.

Performance analysis of heat pipe-cooled two-stage thermoelectric air conditioner

A detailed model of heat pipe-cooled two-stage thermoelectric (TE) air conditioner is established. The performance is analysed comprehensively including the cooling power, coefficient of performance (COP), thermodynamic perfectibility and extreme temperature difference. The influences of key parameters including working current, distribution ratio of TE elements and heat pipe parameters are analysed by numerical simulation. The working current and the TE element number ratio are optimized for the maximum cooling power and the maximum COP respectively. The influences of the cross-sectional area, the length of the TE element and the temperature difference on the optimal variables and optimal performance is obtained. The results show the refrigeration performance of the TE air conditioner can be effectively improved by heat pipe cooling. The two-stage mode can effectively improve the refrigeration temperature difference. The extreme temperature difference can be improved from 60 K to 110 K.

Analysis of mechanical response of triple continuous nested tube energy absorber under low-speed compression of rigid plate

The nested tube system is a cost-efficient energy absorbing device that is particularly crucial for applications with constrained squeeze zones and space. Using the triple continuous nested tube (TCNT) method for nesting is quite useful. The single-stage mode and two-stage mode are its two distinctive force–displacement curve forms. In this study, finite element models suitable for TCNT structures were developed using Abaqus software, and several control groups were constructed according to different initial collapse loads. Through an in-depth analysis of each component of the TCNT, it is discovered that the stiffness competition between the two inner rings is the primary factor contributing to the step-like mechanical response. The TCNT system comprehensively outperforms the conventional single ring design for specific energy absorption (SEA). The prediction equation regarding the initial collapse load of this system is also discussed in this paper. Since the relative errors of the theoretical and numerical solutions are more concentrated, the accuracy can be increased by the amplification factor. The final polynomial fit equation obtained gives a glimpse of the full force–displacement curve.

Revisiting the boundary between the Central Asian Orogenic Belt and North China Craton in Alxa area, China: Insights from zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes of Phanerozoic granitoids

The Alxa Block, located in the southern Alxa area of Inner Mongolia, is generally accepted as the westernmost part of the North China Craton (NCC), but there is still a controversy over the boundary between the southern CAOB and the Alxa Block. Currently, either the Enger Us ophiolite belt or Quagan Qulu ophiolite belt in the mid-eastern Alxa area is a candidate for the NCC-CAOB boundary, and the extension of the two ophiolite belts in the western Alxa area is ambiguous. In this study, we present a compilation of newly obtained and published zircon U-Pb age and Hf isotopic data from the Ordovician-Triassic granitoids in the Alxa area and discuss the implications of two contrasting isotope provinces for the NCC-CAOB boundary. Specifically, the granitoids in the Zongnaishan-Shalazhashan belt between the two ophiolite belts and the North Beidashan belt in the western Alxa area share similar emplacement ages (Carboniferous to Triassic) and juvenile zircon Hf isotopic compositions (two-stage mode ages < 1.30 Ga), and both Carboniferous to Permian granitoids in the Yabulai-Honggueryulin belt to the south of Quagan Qulu ophiolite belt and Ordovician to Devonian granitoids in the South Beidashan belt of the western Alxa area are characterized by similar ancient zircon Hf isotopic features (two-stage mode ages > 1.30 Ga), but most Late Carboniferous to Permian granitoids in the South Beidashan belt are characterized by juvenile zircon Hf isotopes. The two contrasting isotope provinces (juvenile in the north and generally ancient in the south) for the Phanerozoic granitoids could not result from differential denudation, but drastic differences in compositions of deep crusts. The Yabulai-Honggueryulin and South Beidashan belts with ancient crust sources are parts of the Alxa Block, whereas the Zongnaishan-Shalazhashan and North Beidashan belts with juvenile crust sources could be parts of CAOB, and thus the boundary between the CAOB and the Alxa Block is inferred located in between.

Two-Stage Clinical Model for Screening the Suspected Cases of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Need of Imaging in Emergency Department; a Cross-sectional Study.

Just as failure to diagnose an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in a timely manner affects the patient's outcome; an inaccurate and misplaced impression of the AIS diagnosis is not without its drawbacks. Here, we introduce a two-stage clinical tool to aid in the screening of AIS cases in need of imaging in the emergency department (ED). This was a multicenter cross-sectional study, in which suspected AIS patients who underwent a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. The 18 variables from nine existing AIS screening tools were extracted and a two-stage screening tool was developed based on expert opinion (stage-one or rule in stage) and multivariate logistic regression analysis (stage-two or rule out stage). Then, the screening performance characteristics of the two-stage mode was evaluated. Data from 803 patients with suspected AIS were analyzed. Among them, 57.4 % were male, and their overall mean age was 66.9 ± 13.9 years. There were 561 (69.9%) cases with a final confirmed diagnosis of AIS. The total sensitivity and specificity of the two-stage screening model were 99.11% (95% CI: 98.33 to 99.89) and 35.95% (95% CI: 29.90 to 42.0), respectively. Also, the positive and negative predictive values of two-stage screening model were 78.20% (95% CI: 75.17 to 81.24) and 94.57% (95% CI: 89.93 to 81.24), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the two-stage screening model for AIS was 67.53% (95% CI: 64.48 to 70.58). Overall, using the two-stage screening model presented in this study, more than 11% of suspected AIS patients were not referred for MRI, and the error of this model is about 5%. Here, we proposed a 2-step model for approaching suspected AIS patients in ED for an attempt to safely exclude patients with the least probability of having an AIS as a diagnosis. However, further surveys are required to assess its accuracy and it may even need some modifications.

Multifunctional β-Cyclodextrin-Poly(ethylene glycol)-Cholesterol Nanomicelle for Anticancer Drug Delivery.

Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have drawn considerable attention worldwide due to their unique characteristics and advantages in anticancer drug delivery. Herein, the curcumin (Cur) loaded nanomicelles with two-stage drug release behavior were developed. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) and cholesterol were conjugated onto both ends of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain to obtain an amphiphilic β-CD-PEG-Chol. The Cur was loaded into the cavities of β-CD and nanomicelle when the β-CD-PEG-Chol self-assembled to the Cur@β-CD-PEG-Chol nanomicelles (Cur@CPC NMs). These Cur@CPC NMs are spherical particles with a particle size of 120.9 nm. The Cur drug loading capacity of Cur@CPC NMs are 61.6 ± 6.9 mg/g. The release behavior of Cur from Cur@CPC NMs conformed to a two-stage mode of "burst-release followed by sustained-release". The prepared Cur@CPC NMs possess high storage stability and excellent hemocompatibility. Moreover, these Cur@CPC NMs exhibit satisfactory antioxidant activity and anticancer activity, resulting in significant reduction in intracellular H2O2-induced ROS and a nearly 50% lethality rate of HepG-2 cells. Meanwhile, the Cur@CPC NMs show good anti-inflammatory activity, by which the secretion of inflammatory factors of IL-6 and TNF-α are inhibited. Overall, the developed Cur@CPC NMs show application prospects in anticancer drug delivery systems.

Micro-Raman spectroscopy of the light-harvesting pigments in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under salinity stress

Microalgae are a rich source of carotenoids with enhanced yields during biotic or abiotic stresses, which often impose survival challenges on the cells. Using a non-invasive pigment profiling approach with micro-Raman spectroscopy, we have analyzed the effect of salinity stress on carotenoids in autotrophic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Raman spectral analysis of ν(C = C) mode indicates an increase in the carotenoids with lower conjugation length (lutein and zeaxanthin) compared to β-carotene, as the function of culture age and salinity stress, but especially when salinity stress was imposed in two-stage mode (stress imposed on 2nd day, D2_100, and 4th day, D4_100, during exponential phase). Population-scale heterogeneities in carotenoid Raman mode peak center, quantified with heterogeneity index (HI), were highest during the stationary phase of the cultures and under salinity stress. Although the Raman signal was obtained from a randomly selected small focal volume in the cell, a decrease in chlorophyll Raman mode intensities with age and salinity stress was well corroborated by single-cell population fraction measurements by microscopy. Raman intensity fluctuations (If) were high for both chlorophyll and carotenoid modes under salinity stress, which can arise due to variations in chlorophyll/carotenoid content and composition, or conformational changes in the pigments in C. reinhardtii cells. Interestingly, in all growth conditions, chlorophyll a Raman mode intensity was found to show a high correlation to that of β-carotene, pointing out a high degree of cooperativity in the light-harvesting complex pigments even during salinity stress. Thus, we demonstrate the usefulness of non-invasive pigment profiling with micro-Raman spectroscopy for developing an optimization for salinity stress conditions for high biomass yield and proper harvest time to obtain carotenoids with desired chemical composition.

Two-Stage Differential Hydrocarbon Enrichment Mode of Maokou Formation in Southeastern Sichuan Basin, Southwestern China

Abstract Sichuan Basin is one of the most potential areas for natural gas exploration and development in China. The Maokou Formation in the basin is one of the important gas-bearing layers in southeastern Sichuan. In recent years, several exploration wells have obtained industrial gas flow in the first member of the Middle Permian Maokou Formation (hereinafter referred to as the Permian Mao-1 member of Maokou Formation), revealing that it may become a new field of oil and gas exploration in Sichuan Basin. Drilling and field survey results show that the shale of Maokou Formation in southeastern Sichuan contains eyeball-shaped limestone. Early studies suggest that the Permian Mao-1 member of Maokou Formation in Sichuan Basin is a set of high-quality carbonate source rocks, but ignoring its oil and gas exploration potential as an unconventional shale reservoir similar to the shale. The enrichment regularity of unconventional natural gas has not been studied from the perspective of source-internal accumulation. And there is a lack of analysis of oil and gas enrichment mode. In this study, we took the Permian Mao-1 member of Maokou Formation in southeastern Sichuan as the target layer. Through macroscopic outcrop observation and geochemical analysis and based on unconventional oil and gas enrichment theory, we carried out a study on natural gas enrichment mode of eyeball-shaped limestone of the Permian Mao-1 member of Maokou Formation in Sichuan Basin. The results show that the hydrocarbon enrichment pattern of the Maokou Formation in southeastern Sichuan is different from the accumulation and occurrence process of common unconventional shale gas reservoirs and conventional carbonate reservoirs. It is a special new hydrocarbon accumulation mode between the above two. According to the difference in the charging time of the hydrocarbon, the background of the reservoiring dynamics, and the occurrence state of oil and gas, we divide the two-stage differential enrichment mode of oil and gas, that is, “early intralayer near-source enrichment” and “late interlayer pressure relief adjustment.”

Osmotic Characteristics of Erythrocytes After Freezing with Composition-Modified Cryopreservatives

Here, we have studied the osmotic parameters of erythrocytes frozen in the composition-modified media with glycerol and 1,2-propanediol. A decreased glycerol concentration in a cryopreservative and an increased content of impermeable protective component sorbitol were established to affect the erythrocyte characteristics at different stages of freezing and hypothermic storage. Reduction of 1,2-propanediol and NaCl concentrations when augmenting the sucrose content in cryopreservative agent enabled changing a two-stage mode of erythrocyte freeze-thawing to the single-stage one. The presented here modification of cryoprotective medium allowed to diminish the level of damage to erythrocytes during freeze-thawing-washing out, that might prevent the inflammation development in a body when transfusing these cells.

Efficient management of renewable energy sources, including water resources in the context of global warming and tightening environmental requirements, is the most important challenge of our time. Territorial and temporal redistribution of river runoff within the catchment area is essential for energy reservoirs. The regulation of the river runoff by the reservoir which ensures the operation of hydroelectric power plants located in the downstream with high energy performance is discussed. In particular, the selection of the operating modes of the Lajanuri reservoir (upper stage) is presented taking into account the efficient operation of the downstream HPPs (Gumati HPP I, Gumati HPP II, Rioni HPP). The calculations were made for the case of daily regulation of Lajanuri reservoir. At the same time, the one-stage (peak regime) and the two-stage (peak and base regimes) regulation types are discussed. The water balance equation was used for calculations. Based on the results of calculations, it is advisable to operate the Lajanur reservoir in a two-stage mode, which will increase the peak power of the HPP in a dry watery period at the increased power consumption.

Shrinkage characteristics of calcium sulphoaluminate cement concrete

Shrinkage is an important scientific and engineering issue in the study of cement concrete, involving the risk of cracking, safety and durability of the structure. For Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, capillary tension, represented by internal relative humidity, is normally considered as the main driving force of shrinkage. However, for calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) concrete, it may be completely different. In the present paper, shrinkage performance of normal and high strength CSA concrete is experimentally investigated. Characteristics of shrinkage of CSA concrete comparing to OPC concrete are analyzed and the possible mechanisms are explored. The results show that development of shrinkage of CSA concrete since set obeys two-stage mode, fast growth stage before 2 h and a slowly developing stage after 2 h. In the initial 2 h after set of concrete, more than 85% of the total shrinkage at 28 days is finished. Development of internal relative humidity of CSA concrete also undergoes a moisture saturated stage and a decline stage since casting. In humidity decline stage, less than 15% of the shrinkage of 28 days is developed in the later age although the internal relative humidity is obviously decreased as well in this period. Water content and chemical shrinkage test further confirm that faster water consumption and larger chemical shrinkage are expected for CSA paste and also for CSA concrete, comparing to that of OPC paste or concrete. Hydration particle size test results reveal that the deformability of hydration products of CSA under drying is less than that of hydration products of OPC. This may partially explain why low drying shrinkage of CSA concrete is observed.

Characteristic Mode Analysis Based on Rayleigh Quotient Iteration

For radiation and scattering problems, characteristic mode analysis (CMA) can provide intuitively physical insight. Generally, eigenpairs (eigenvalue/eigenvectors) for CMA are computed discretely at each frequency and then assigned to corresponding modes within the investigated frequency range using tracking algorithms. These two-stage mode processing methods have low efficiency and can run into problems, including mode discontinuity and inappropriate crossing avoidance handling. Intrinsically, the Rayleigh quotient iteration (RQI)-based algorithm proposed in this article can simultaneously achieve CMA’s mode tracking and eigenpair calculation. Compared to traditional techniques, the tracking efficiency is enhanced with third-order convergence since the number of examined modes calculated by RQI is far fewer than the number of eigenpairs solved by the impedance matrix. In addition, together with the von Neumann–Wigner theorem, the enhanced RQI can detect mode overlap and undesired switching caused by crossing avoidance and correct them on the spot without increasing the computational cost.

Synthesis of Sorption Materials from Low Grade Titanium Raw Materials.

In this paper, a universal technology is proposed for processing low-titanium mineral raw material—apatite-nepheline ore waste, including its treatment with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid in a two-stage mode with a sequential increase in the concentration. This technique allowed us to remove nepheline and apatite in the first stage and achieve a titanium mineral content of TiO2 of more than 30%; in the second stage, we were able to convert the titanium into its precursors—titanyl sulfate monohydrate TiOSO4·H2O and a hybrid rutile-silica composition. The key stage in the sorbent synthesis is the reaction of the precursor with a phosphoric acid solution. The preferred sequence of operations begins with the mechanical activation of the precursor, causing morphological changes in it, and subsequent treatment with phosphoric acid at different concentrations under atmospheric conditions and in an autoclave, accompanied by phase transformations. Conditions for the chemical reactions which regulated the composition and structure of the final product and, accordingly, its sorption activity were found. With the help of XFA, the phase compositions of the sorbents were identified, including the individual crystalline phase α-TiP obtained from TS or the crystalline phase αTi(HPO4)2∙H2O, which is in an amorphous silica matrix obtained from a rutile–silica composition.

Two-stage variational mode decomposition approach to enhance the estimates of variance function

A two-stage variational mode decomposition approach is explored in this article to estimate the variance function in a nonparametric heteroscedastic fixed design regression model. This estimate improves the results obtained by using variational mode decomposition in the case of smooth regression function. We noticed that the amount of improvement is depending on the smoothness of the variance function. Simulations and comparisons with the earlier methods are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

Renewable energy power system transient stability analysis and assessment

In this paper, in-depth analysis, and evaluation of the transient stability of a renewable energy power system are carried out, and a transient stability evaluation method based on stacked autoencoders is proposed. The method breaks through the traditional two-stage evaluation mode. The method proposes a deep network model with a multi-branch structure for different physical natures of different measured data. With the help of different sparse denoising coding networks (branches), features are extracted from each measurement separately and fused on top of the model to finally complete the transient stability assessment. The simulation results show that the method can effectively handle the simultaneous input of multiple measurements, and has the advantages of high accuracy and robustness in noisy environments. To effectively determine the model hyperparameters, the orthogonal test is used for model selection, which can significantly reduce the hyperparameter seeking space and save computational resources. The simulation results show that the method can effectively use multiple measurements to improve the accuracy of wind power prediction. Also, the input variable selection index based on mutual information can provide a good guide for further improvement of model performance.

Mathematical model of a motor-grader movement in the process of performing working operations

The design features of a motor-grader help it perform a wide range of working operations, which puts it on a par with the main machines in the construction industry. Unlike other earth-moving machines, the motor-grader can perform work operations not only in a cyclic mode, but also in a continuous action mode. Considering these features, not only productivity should be addressed as the main indicator of the efficiency of this machine, but also the indicators of the quality of the working operations performed, in particular, the indicators of road-holding ability in the process of performing continuous working operations. The work has substantiated and developed a mathematical model of the motor-grader movement during working operations. This model makes it possible to predict the expected trajectory of the motor-grader on the basis of deterministic dependencies, which enables to assess the indicators of road-holding ability. The difference between the proposed model and the existing ones is the consideration of a two-stage mode of machine movement: plane motion at the first stage and rotational around the stop point at the second. When describing the external forces acting on the motor-grader, the differences in the formation of resistance forces on the blade during various working operations are taken into account.

Influence of rolling and annealing modes on properties of semi-finished sheet products made of aluminum deformable alloy 1580

The study covers the manufacturability and properties of sheet metal obtained from a large-sized ingot of Alloy 1580 with the low scandium content within its grade range. The ingot processability in hot and cold rolling was evaluated, and the influence of the degree of deformation and annealing conditions on the properties of cold-rolled semi-finished products made of the alloy under study was investigated. A large-sized commercially produced ingot with a cross section of 500×2100 mm of Alloy 1580 with a scandium content of 0.067 wt.% was selected as an object of research. The research methodology included several stages of rolling and heat treatment of semi-finished sheet products at various stages of the developed mode for metal deformation and mechanical testing of samples from them on the LFM 400 kN universal machine. For research, a 60×500×900 mm template was cut from the ingot to make 50×180×300 mm billets for rolling. Billets were subjected to homogenization annealing by the two-stage mode developed previously for this alloy. As a result of hot rolling of annealed billets at 450 °C and a total relative compression e Σ = 84÷90 %, 5–8 mm thick semi-finished sheet products were obtained. Further, after their annealing at t = 320 °C for 6 hours, light-gauge semi-finished sheet products with a thickness of 2 to 6 mm were manufactured by cold rolling. They were subjected to mechanical analysis in the deformed and annealed states. The analysis of their mechanical properties in the deformed and annealed states was performed, which showed that the accumulation of the total degree of deformation during cold rolling up to 38 % provides the 1580 alloy with an increase in strength properties to R p = 380 MPa, and after that the growth rate slows down and at e Σ = 60 % R p = = 400 MPa. The effect of annealing at temperatures between 250 °C and 350 °C on the mechanical properties of sheet metal. It was found that it leads to a decrease in strength properties and an increase in ductility, and the maximum yield strengths correspond to annealing temperatures of 250–275 °C at a sufficiently high plasticity. As a result of studies, it was found that the strength properties of sheet metal from Alloy 1580 with a low scandium content exceed the strength properties of semi-finished products of Alloy AW-5083 (USA) having a similar chemical composition, but without the addition of scandium, by 10–15 %, and the excess in plastic properties is 40–60 %.
