Erratum to: METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS B, Vol. 46B, pp. 635–643, 2015, DOI: 10.1007/s11663-014-0273-y
Authors have used a new way for measuring bulk volume based on the image (pixel) analysis named as Light Table Imaging (LTI), and subsequently bulk densities and porosities. Authors lately found that there was a slight error in calibrating the scale (known distance) to pixel measurement and understand the need to communicate the error and subsequent corrections.
After correcting the calibration scale appropriately, the corresponding corrections have been implemented to evaluate the values of bulk volume, bulk density, porosity, sintering ratio and further kinetic parameters for all the pellets used in the study. The corrections have only changes the absolute values and does not affected or changed the understanding, outcome and conclusions of the study. Therefore, it is requested to incorporate the changes – Figures and Table by the corrected ones as mentioned below.
List of corrections
-
1.
Page 635, Abstract, Line 16/17: “…and reaction rate constant (K′) are estimated.” should be replaced by “…and pre-exponential factor (K′) are estimated.”
-
2.
Figures which should be replaced with the corresponding ones as shown below:
-
3.
Page 641, Table III should be replaced by the corresponding table mentioned below.
-
4.
Page 641, Line 11: “…were found to be 0.2099 and 2.57 pct, respectively” should be replaced by “…were found to be 0.2373 and 1.16 pct, respectively”.
-
5.
Page 642, Conclusions, Line 9: “…and rate constant (K′)…” should be replaced by “…and pre-exponential factor (K′)…”.
-
6.
Page 642, Conclusions, Line 13: “…Q was found to be 509 kJ/mol.” should be replaced by “…Q was found to be 464 kJ/mol.”
