Abstract

The manuscript should be written using this template, which will be used to typeset the papers for indexed journal 2015. You must delete the text with the instructions and copy your original text. Begin with an abstract that summarizes, in one paragraph, the major aspects of the entire manuscript in maximum 300 words. Please make the page settings of your word processor to A4 format (21.5 x 27.9 cm or 8 x 11 inches); with all the margins: 2.5 cm (1 in). Do not include reference citations or undefined abbreviations in the abstract, since abstracts are often read independently of the actual chapter and without access to the reference list. Manuscripts that do not comply will be returned for correction. (Times New Roman, single space, 12pt)

Keywords: Steel, Metal, X-ray diffraction, Corrosion, Soil solution (5 keywords)

1. Introduction (Times 12pt, bold)

Introduction section introduces the reader to the experiment and briefly outlined theory and background information relevant to the experiment/research. Papers must be formatted according to the instructions that are displayed in this template [1-2]. Heading levels should be clearly identified and each level should be uniquely and consistently numbered. Use the decimal system of numbering if your headings are numbered.

All manuscripts must be in English, also the table and figure captions; otherwise we cannot publish your paper. The maximum length of papers is 12 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Technical terms and abbreviations should be defined the first time they appear in the text.

Please always use internationally accepted signs and symbols for units, so-called SI units [3-7]. Numerals should follow the British/American method of decimal points to indicate decimals and commas to separate thousands. (Times New Roman, single line, 12pt)

2. Experimental (Times New Roman, 12pt bold)

In this section you explain clearly how you carried out your study. You can use heading levels should be clearly identified and each level should be numbered. Use Times New Roman 12pt to typewriter the text [8].

2.1. Materials (Times New Roman, 12pt italic)

The materials used in the present study were API 5L X65 and X70. This pipe is typically used in the Mexican pipeline system, which has an outside diameter of 24 in. (609.6 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.562 in. (14.27mm). The chemical composition of this steel is shown in Table 1.

2.2. Microstructural characterization

Specimens were cut 30 x 30 cm to give them a heat treatment at 0-1050C for 30min., and cooled in water and a room temperature. After the heat treatment performed rectangular tension test specimens were machined according to ASTM A370.

2.3. SEM studies

All metallographic specimens were prepared by metallographic methods. Polished samples were etched for 15s in 2.5% nital and observed by SEM.

3. Results and discussion (Times New Roman, 12pt bold)

3.1. Materials (Times New Roman, 12pt italic)

In the Results and Discussion section use Times New Roman 12pt, single space, text justified, you should present your results and discuss them, commenting on the results obtained, interpreting what the results mean and explaining any results which are unexpected. In Word, use the Math function of Word or Microsoft Equation Editor with Word to create your equations. For example,

3.2. Microstructural characterization

The microstructural observation showed material without treatment which consists of polygonal ferrite grains and perlite bands, typical of these types of steels are shown in Figure 1. The Figure 1b shows a fine acicular ferrite microstructure due to this heat thermal treatment was performed in water cooled, this type of microstructure is preferred [9, 10-12] to reduce the susceptibility to SSC.

Table captions begin with the term Table in bold type, followed by the table number, also in bold type. Add a reference citation to the table source at the end of the caption, if necessary. Do not use the space bar or multiple tabs to separate columns and do not use Excel to create tables as this can cause problems when converting your tables into the typesetting program and other formats. For example see Table 2.

Give each figure a concise caption, describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions at the end of the text file, not in the figure file. Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption and use boxes, circles, etc. as coordinate points in graphs additional to color lines.

Figure captions begin with the term Figure in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type. Figure parts are identified by lowercase letters in bold. Letters or words identifying specific positions or items in a figure are italicized. Color figures will appear in color in the ejournal but will usually be printed in black and white. Please use different types of lines, or symbols additional to different colors to differentiate.

4. Conclusions (Times New Roman, 12pt bold)

An effective conclusion should provide closure for a paper, leaving the reader feeling satisfied that the concepts have been fully explained. Please don't use conclusion numbered. The conclusions should be a paragraph preferably. (Times New Roman, single space, 12pt)

Acknowledgments (Times New Roman, 12pt bold)

Optional, include as needed. The Acknowledgments section usually contains a paragraph listing acknowledgments of people and/or institutions of the author(s). Also, acknowledgments of grants and disclosures are shown in this section.

References (Times New Roman, 12pt bold)

References should be cited in the text by number into brackets, for example, [55]. Below are the formats of the reference style that you should use.
