The promised Brazil in WW2 post! I did verify some information, but this is actually mostly based on my previous knowledge (from a Brazilian perspective)  and my visit to a museum on this topic, so I always encourage searching about it yourself! :D This will be more general facts I find interesting than a complete look into our participation, as that is a bit complicated to speak about in a short post. But let's get into it, shall we?
So, the thing about Brazil's participation in WW2 is that it actually came in sort of late. We only started fighting in late 1944 in Northern Italy, after the fall of fascism there, but we technically declared war back in 1942.
The two reasons we entered the war (after a period of neutrality in which we still had a commercial relationship with the main three Axis countries as well as the Allies) were...
Getúlio Vargas' government striking a deal in which the USA would build military bases on our territory in exchange for them investing in our metallurgical industry (long story);
The German sinking of six commercial Brazilian ships (Baependi, Araraquara, Aníbal Benévolo, Itagiba, Arará and Jacira), which ended up killing 607 people, civilian and military alike.
Once we actually entered the war, I would say that our most important ally within the... Allies was the USA - with Brazilian soldiers (the Pracinhas) even serving in the US Fifth Army. We filled very important gaps, and eventually, once the USamericans turned their efforts elsewhere, we played a very important role in the fight against the Nazis in Italy.
A thing to note was actually the sense of connection that a lot of Brazilians had with Italy. Many of the soldiers drafted (and those who volunteered) were of European descent, with a sizable chunk being Italian, so they were both fighting for their homeland and for their ancestors' homeland. Not only that, but the Pracinhas were treated warmly by the Italian citizens, which nurtured an even stronger emotional bond and sense of duty.
The main battle fought by FEB (The Brazilian Expeditionary Forces) was the Battle of Monte Castelo - was a very important defense point for the Nazis - which lasted for three months and was considered the largest battle in the history of the Brazilian Army. Brazil also participated in the Battle of Castelnuovo, Montese, Collecchio, and Fornovo di Taro.
Tumblr media
A big thing to mention is that there were actually Brazilians on both sides of the war. Which actually contributed to the psychological warfare by the Nazis to try and convince the Pracinhas to desert - there was even a radio program transmited by a Brazilian woman from Santa Catarina to try and reach that goal, although most of the propaganda was done through leaflets that would appeal to the conditions the soldiers were enduring (such as the extreme cold).
Interesting tidbit about the cold: the Pracinhas would stuff straw in their boots, especially when it was cold, which actually led them to have fewer cases of Trench Foot than the USamericans.
Women in the Brazilian Army acted as field nurses, about 73 iirc going to serve in Italy. I will attach a picture below of some of them.
Tumblr media
At this time, Brazil was actually in a dictatorship, which restricted even what the Brazilians could write in letters back home. They were encouraged to never say anything negative, and even if they did, their letters would always be read to check for it. Interestingly enough, once the war was ending and the Pracinhas would come home, people began seeing more and more similarities between the way things were being run by the Vargas' regime and the nazifascists... Hm...
Let's get to the last thing I want to talk about this night - the symbols used by our soldiers!
The main one you may have seen around is the Smoking Cobra. But what does it mean? See, there was this popular phrase within the country that "if Brazil enters the war, the cobra will smoke", something akin to "when pigs fly". And so, when we did join the war, this symbol was used as a sort of cheeky nod to the saying. The Pracinhas had a really good sense of humor.
And the less known, but in my opinion just as funny, symbol for our Aviation group. Which was based on two things: the phrase "Senta a Pua" which was already used in the airbase of Salvador to tell people to hurry up, and the ostrich, a symbol based on soldiers' jokes that they needed an ostrich's stomach to handle the food the USamericans gave them on the boat ride over lmao. I put both symbols below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I believe that will be all for now! There's still a lot to be said, and a lot that I will want to talk about at some point, but for now, I hope you enjoyed this little snapshot I gave you. ^_^

There was a concentrated brightness to his eyes as he watches her work. How steel and flame manages to be such a content home away from home when it comes to the Lord of Electro. Things like this were meshed well into legends, how such a rare sight of the Narukami Ogosho actively bringing divine weaponry their first breath to either her own hand or to her retinue. To Thoma, it looked like she was truly having a lot of fun. Whether it was solely in the realms of holding pride in this hobby, or to past thoughts remain a mystery. "I can almost hear this weapon sing as its being formed. It feels pretty happy."
Tumblr media
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The deity was usually seen in such elegant light down to her attire and makeup. Being back at the smithery on the other hand brought back that eager spark behind her violet eyes with the clash of the hammer against the heated metal and soot caked up on her cheeks.
Good nostalgia folded her mind with each blow causing her to look lost in thoughts but those memories were cut short by finishing off the blade with a quick prayer for divine guidance, and that her efforts will please the deity. Even if she's no longer the deity, may Makoto bless this newly forged naginata like many weapons before it.
Now she needs to prepare the ‘Core’ or shingane. A piece of tamahagane, about the size of a brick, is heated in the forge until softened. then hammered until it becomes slightly elongated. At this point, the archon folds it in half crosswise and the entire procedure is repeated approximately ten times. The process of heating, hammering, and folding drives out impurities present in the steel. After these steps are completed, the core is heated and hammered into the shape of a long, thin metal wedge. It's then set aside while the jacket steel, or kawagane, is prepared.
For the jacket steel, the archon carefully selects tamahagane which is harder in carbon content. Again, a piece about the size of a brick is repeatedly heated, hammered, and folded over upon itself. The jacket steel undergoes this process many times more than the core , resulting in steel which is composed of nearly 30,000 "folds", or layers. These layers produce the subtle and beautiful grain — jihada that will become visible on the surface of the blade once it's polished. In the final stages, the jacket steel is hammered out until it measures slightly longer than the piece of core steel made previously. It's then re-heated and wrapped around the core.
Ei carefully heats and hammers the two pieces together until they form a solid metallurgical bond. Extreme care must be taken during this process to ensure that no gaps are left between the jacket and core steels, and that no dirt or debris is trapped there. To do so would result in air bubbles or voids which would seriously weaken the blade and render it worthless in battle. After the two pieces of steel are joined, the smith continues to heat and hammer the blade until it measures close to the desired length.
She polished the polearm to make it fully shine after it was cooled. Unconsciously, Ei rubs more debris on her forehead but she can wash it off later — the finished product was a deep crimson-red polearm with gold and black accents matching its soon-to-be owner. The habaki was made of shiny gold-like brass; the habaki is a small metal "collar" which fits snugly over the blade at the point where the tang (nakago) meets the blade.
She wrapped a tassel around the staff’s socket as a decoration to give off more of that passionate pyro flames that flare up in battle. The blade was sharp and angular with the steal shifting sliver to orangey gold like pyro energy. She wanted this polearm to fully reflect the user element and flair!
“ You may name your newly forged weapon. May you give it a proper story whether it be battle or training. ”

How Zinc Galvanizing Protects Crash Barriers and Saves Lives
Tumblr media
Crash barrier are essential safety features on roads, designed to prevent vehicles from veering off the road and to minimize the impact of collisions. Ensuring their durability and effectiveness is critical for road safety.
Zinc galvanizing, a process that involves coating steel with a layer of zinc, has proven to be an effective method for enhancing the longevity and performance of crash barriers. This blog delves into how zinc galvanizing protects crash barriers and ultimately saves lives.
Crash Barrier for Road Safety
Crash barrier are engineered to absorb and dissipate the energy of a vehicle impact, reducing the risk of serious injuries or fatalities. They are commonly found on highways, bridges, and sharp curves where the likelihood of accidents is high. The effectiveness of these barriers is contingent upon their structural integrity and resistance to environmental factors such as corrosion.
The Process of Zinc Galvanizing
Zinc galvanizing involves immersing steel components in molten zinc, forming a metallurgical bond that results in a robust and corrosion-resistant coating. This process can be divided into several stages:
Surface Preparation: The steel surface is cleaned to remove impurities, rust, and scale through processes like degreasing, pickling, and fluxing.
Galvanizing: The cleaned steel is dipped into a bath of molten zinc, which reacts with the steel to form multiple layers of zinc-iron alloy.
Cooling and Inspection: The coated steel is cooled and inspected for uniformity and coating thickness.
Benefits of Zinc Galvanizing for Crash Barriers
Corrosion Resistance: Zinc galvanizing provides superior protection against corrosion. The zinc coating helps in preventing moisture along with other corrosive elements from reaching the steel. This is particularly important for crash barriers exposed to harsh weather conditions, de-icing salts, and pollutants.
Long-Lasting Protection: Galvanized steel can last several decades without significant maintenance, ensuring that crash barriers remain functional over extended periods. This longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements and repairs, which can be costly and disruptive to traffic.
Sacrificial Protection: Zinc galvanizing offers sacrificial protection, meaning that the zinc layer will corrode preferentially to the steel. Even if the coating is damaged, one does not have to worry. As the exposed steel will remain protected by the surrounding zinc. Such a process helps in prolonging the barrier’s lifespan.
Impact Resistance: The metallurgical bond formed during the galvanizing process enhances the impact resistance of the steel, making crash barriers more robust in the event of a collision. This ensures that the barriers can effectively absorb and dissipate impact energy, reducing the severity of accidents.
Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial cost of galvanizing might be higher than other protective coatings, the long-term savings are substantial. Reduced maintenance, longer service life, and decreased frequency of replacements make zinc galvanizing a cost-effective solution for crash barriers.

Exploring Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide: The Super Material for Tough Jobs
 Hello here! We are delving into the intriguing realm of Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide, or NBSC for short today. Thanks to its remarkable qualities, this high-tech ceramic substance is creating waves in several sectors. NBSC could possibly be your new best buddy if you require something that can survive harsh environments. Let's investigate the reasons this substance is so unique, how it's created, where it's used, and why it's a game-changer.
Why Is NBSC so unique?
Mechanical strength
Let me start with strength first. NBSC is really robust. The nitride bonding technique lets it resist a lot of mechanical strain. This makes it ideal for times when things get tough and you want a substance that won't break or wear down readily.
Thermal Stability; Heat Not a hitch. Even at very high temperatures, NBSC performs really brilliantly. You will thus usually find it in locations like kilns and industrial furnaces. It also doesn't expand much when heated, so under thermal stress it is less prone to shatter.
Chemical Oppensity
When it comes to withstand chemical assaults, NBSC is like the materials' super hero. Whether it's molten metal, bases, or acids, this substance can manage it all without corroding. For use in chemical processing facilities and other demanding situations, that makes it perfect.
Resistance in Wear
NBSC is the choice if you require something that can keep on ticking and withstand abuse. It's quite robust and strong, which makes it ideal for mechanical seals and pump components—parts that will be heavily used.
The Making of NBSC:
Original Resources
High-purity silicon carbide (SiC) powder starts the path to produce NBSC. The base material is made from these mixed with silicon nitride (Si3N4).
Changing It Outline
NBSC can be shaped in numerous ways based on your demand. Often utilized are pressing, extrusion, and injection molding. The chosen method relies on the form, size, and complexity of the component.
The Nitide Bonding Mechanism
That's where the magic occurs. High temperature silicon carbide reacts with nitrogen to create silicon nitride. This technique guarantees everything bonds exactly by being conducted in a controlled surroundings. The outcome is a densified, extremely strong ceramic substance.
Smintering
The parts undergo sintering following the bonding procedure. Heating them slightly below their melting point causes the particles to combine into a solid form. Giving the material full strength and durability depends on this stage.
Where You'll Discover NBSC Industrial Kilns and Furnaces
Because NBSC can manage high temperatures and thermal shock, it is the go-to material for kilns and industrial furnaces. Often produced from NBSC are components including kiln furniture, burner nozzles, and furnace linings.
Wear- Resistance Parts
Where abrasion is a major concern, NBSC excels. Because it can resist a lot of wear and tear without degrading, it finds use in mechanical seals, abrasive blasting nozzles, and pump parts.
Chemical Processing Toolset
The resistance of NBSC against corrosion in chemical facilities is quite advantageous. Heat exchangers, reaction vessels, and pipe systems handling strong chemicals and high temperatures find application for it.
Metallurgical Uses:
In metallurgical operations, particularly with regard to molten metal handling, NBSC is also a mainstay. For parts like liners and crucibles, its chemical and heat tolerance makes it perfect.
Semiconductor Production
NBSC supports the manufacturing of high-purity silicon wafers in the semiconductor sector. Maintaining the purity and quality of these wafers depends critically on their chemical inertness and thermal stability.
Why NBSC is a game-changer in longevity and durability?
Long longevity of NBSC is one of its main advantages. Long-term savings of time and money result from its strength, wear resistance, and chemical inertness meaning components last longer and require less maintenance.
Performance Under Extreme Conditions
NBSC functions consistently regardless of extreme heat, corrosive chemicals, or abrasive surroundings. This makes it a flexible material with many possible demanding uses.
Economical Relevance
NBSC can be somewhat reasonably priced even with its sophisticated characteristics. Many businesses find it a wise decision as its great performance and low requirement for regular replacements and maintenance make it desirable.
Personalization
One can customize NBSC components to fit certain requirements. The manufacturing method can be changed to provide exactly what you require whether your needs call for a specific form, size, or feature.
In conclusion
Among materials with special combinations of strength, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and wear resistance is nitride bonded silicon carbide. From chemical processing tools to high-temperature furnaces, its adaptability and dependability make it priceless in many different fields. NBSC is expected to be a major participant driving innovation and efficiency forward as the demand for materials capable of handling ever challenging surroundings rises. Therefore, NBSC is most definitely worth looking at if you search for a substance that can withstand the heat (and much more).

Artificer: Armorer
An artificer who specializes as an Armorer modifies armor to function almost like a second skin. The armor is enhanced to hone the artificer's magic, unleash potent attacks, and generate a formidable defense. The artificer bonds with this armor, becoming one with it even as they experiment with it and refine its magical capabilities.
Tools of the Trade when you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor. You also gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this tool proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Armorer spells starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class/ These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
3rd level Magic Missile and Thunderwave
5th level Mirror Image and Shatter
9th level Hypnotic Pattern and Lightning Bolt
13th level Fire Shield and Greater Invisibility
17th Passwall and Wall of Force
Arcane Armor beginning at 3rd level, your metallurgical pursuits have led to you making armor a conduit for your magic. As an action, you can turn a suit of armor you are wearing into Arcane Armor, provided you have smith's tools in hand.
You gain the following benefits while wearing this armor:
If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the arcane armor lacks this requirement for you.
You can use the arcane armor as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.
The armor attaches to you and can’t be removed against your will. It also expands to cover your entire body, although you can retract or deploy the helmet as a bonus action. The armor replaces any missing limbs, functioning identically to a body part it is replacing.
You can doff or don the armor as an action.
The armor continues to be Arcane Armor until you don another suit of armor or you die.
Armor Model beginning at 3rd level, you can customize your Arcane Armor. When you do so, choose one of the following armor models: Guardian or Infiltrator. The model you choose gives you special benefits while you wear it.
Each model includes a special weapon. When you attack with that weapon, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls.
You can change the armor's model whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith's tools in hand.
Guardian. You design your armor to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features:
Thunder Gauntlets. Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.
Defensive Field. As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your level in this class, replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you doff the armor. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Infiltrator. You customize your armor for subtle undertakings. It has the following features:
Lightning Launcher. A gemlike node appears on one of your armored fists or on the chest (your choice). It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage to that target.
Powered Steps. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet.
Dampening Field. You have advantage on Stealth checks. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on such checks, the advantage and disadvantage cancel each other, as normal.
Extra Attack starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn
Armor Modifications at 9th level, you learn how to use your artificer infusions to specially modify your Arcane Armor. That armor now counts as separate items for the purposes of your Infuse Items feature: armor (the chest piece), boots, helmet, and the armor's special weapon. Each of those items can bear one of your infusions, and the infusions transfer over if you change your armor's model with the Armor Model feature. In addition, the maximum number of items you can infuse at once increases by 2, but those extra items must be part of your Arcane Armor.
Perfected Armor at 15th level, your Arcane Armor gains additional benefits based on its model, as shown below.
Guardian. When a Huge or smaller creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to magically force it to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you pull the creature up to 25 feet directly to an unoccupied space. If you pull the target to a space within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee weapon attack against it as part of this reaction.
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Infiltrator. Any creature that takes lightning damage from your Lightning Launcher glimmers with magical light until the start of your next turn. The glimmering creature sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you, as the light jolts it if it attacks you. In addition, the next attack roll against it has advantage, and if that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d6 lightning damage.

GP Pipes Manufacturers
Tumblr media
GP (Galvanized Plain) pipes are steel pipes coated with a protective layer of zinc to guard against corrosion. This makes them well-suited for a wide range of applications, especially in environments that expose materials to water or moisture. GP pipes are similar to GI (Galvanized Iron) pipes, with the primary focus being on providing a clean, plain surface that is free from any significant scale or flaws. They are used in various structural, electrical, and mechanical applications.
Overview of GP Pipe Manufacturing
1. Production of Steel Pipes: The manufacturing of GP pipes begins with the production of steel pipes, typically by the Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) process. This involves forming steel sheets or strips into cylindrical shapes and welding them longitudinally.
2. Cleaning and Preparation: Before galvanizing, the pipes are thoroughly cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of the zinc coating. This involves degreasing to remove any oil, pickling to eliminate rust, and fluxing to coat the steel, preparing it for the galvanizing process.
3. Galvanizing: The prepared pipes are dipped into a bath of molten zinc. This hot-dip galvanizing process, conducted at about 450°C, forms a metallurgical bond between zinc and the steel surface, resulting in a highly durable coating.
4. Cooling and Further Processing: After galvanizing, the pipes are cooled, either in the open air or by quenching in water. Some manufacturers may apply passivation treatments or additional coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance.
5. Quality Control and Inspection: Each pipe undergoes stringent quality control measures, including visual inspections and tests for coating thickness and uniformity, to ensure compliance with international standards.
6. Cutting and Threading: The pipes are then cut to specified lengths and threaded if required. Threading facilitates easier connections and installations in various applications.
Applications of GP Pipes
Construction: Used in building frameworks, fencing, and railing, where durability and resistance to the elements are crucial.
Electrical Conduits: Often used as protective conduits for electrical wiring, especially in residential and commercial buildings.

Hello there!
Axiomi Consolidation, a structure of Nikolai Levitsky, owner of Deka (creator of kvass brands Nikola and Stepan Timofeevich) and former owner of the oil service company Geotek, acquired 24.1% of the iron ore company IRC. The shares were purchased from Cerisier Ventures Limited, part of the Gazprombank group (GPB), Axiomi reported on December 30. The transaction amount was $76.8 million.
The same Axiomi Consolidation and Major Mining Partner, owned by Dmitry Bakatin, also sold their 5.8% stake in IRC for $19.2 million, follows from the bank’s message. Bakatin is the managing director of the Sputnik investment group of Boris Jordan. According to Levitsky, quoted in the Axiomi message, the acquisition of the IRC package is a promising investment. Axiomi is open to fruitful cooperation with other shareholders and partners of the company as part of the further development of the asset, he added.
IRC is the only iron ore producer in the Russian Far East. The main asset of the company is the Kimkano-Sutarsky GOK located in the Jewish Autonomous Okrug with a capacity of 3.2 million tons per year. It produces high quality (65%) iron ore concentrate for export to China. Gazprombank agreed in early December to purchase 24.07% of IRC. At the same time, it became known that another 5.8% of IRC would be bought by Bakatin’s Major Mining (“We wrote about this on December 9”). In total, these 29.9% belonged to the investment company Stocken Board, registered in Liechtenstein, before the transaction.
The largest shareholder of IRC until December 2021 with a share of 31.1% was the gold mining company Petropavlovsk. On December 3, Stocken Board acquired 29.9% of IRC from Petropavlovsk for $10 million. The parties entered into an agreement on this back in March 2020. The deal became binding after the consent of GPB, the main creditor of Petropavlovsk, and IRC. The latter's debt as of September 2021 was $118 million. As a result of the transaction, the gold mining company should be released from guarantees under IRC loan agreements, which Petropavlovsk management called the main goal of the transaction. In May 2021, Petropavlovsk announced that Gazprombank had given its consent to the transaction and the agreement had become binding.
A representative of Petropavlovsk confirmed to us that the main purpose of the sale of IRC shares was to get rid of the guarantee for the debts of this company, which is what happened. Today, the main debt burden of Petropavlovsk is obligations to repay Eurobonds for approximately $300 million, he specified. The gold miner issued five-year bonds in November 2017 in the amount of $500 million. But in 2021, securities worth about $200 million were purchased and repaid, the source said. He emphasized that the transaction for the sale of IRC shares under the 2020 agreement and the resale of GPB shares are not related to each other, and the gold miner “knows nothing” about the latter.
The bank acquired its 24.1% IRC from Stocken Board for $30.6 million, the Bakatin structure 5.8% for $2.34 million, it follows from the agreements. Thus, the Liechtenstein investment company sold its 29.9% stake in the ore miner for more than three times the price it bought. The largest shareholder of Petropavlovsk, Yuzhuralzoloto (UGK Yuri Strukov, owns 29.2%) tried to challenge the deal. SGC stated then that it did not meet the interests of Petropavlovsk, estimating the sold share in IRC at $100 million. A representative of SGC did not respond to our request.
Petropavlovsk was forced to sell IRC, especially since the peak price of ore on the Chinese market had passed, says Sergei Grishunin, director of the NRA rating service. According to him, the arrival of a shareholder from outside the industry into the mining business is a common phenomenon recently. For example, Roman Trotsenko and Albert Avdolyan came to coal mining, and the Pipe Metallurgical Company began mining gold. “The attractiveness of commodity markets is high for investors with little experience in mining. It is possible that in the future some of the assets purchased in this way will have to be resold. On the other hand, access to financial resources can make it possible to improve the operation of the enterprise,” the analyst told me.
