The thin part undergoes consequently a very rapid cooling and promotes the formation of hard ledeburite, This study removes the already formed ledeburite ((α + Fe3C) + Fe3C) by mean of heat treatment. By calculating the mass fraction of iron carbide at the level of 5%, heating the material at the austenite temperature, holding it for 2 hours and cooling it subsequently in the air, ledeburite changes to ferrite and graphite. Graphite is formed discrete along the grain boundaries of previous pearlite after the completion of heat treatment. The graphite resembles a randomly oriented eutectic undercooling type D and this is associated with a decrease of hardness to 115HV at the tip of the impeller blade.

The rice husk cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were employed to reinforce the chitosan (Ch) matrix in the range of 10-50 wt%. The CNC-Ch substrates produced compact homogenous film with good dispersion and distribution of CNCs within the chitosan matrix. Afterward, the CNC-Ch substrate was applied to form a self-standing hard carbon anode with a mass loading of 5 mg/cm 2. As an anode, the hard carbon with 10 wt% of CNC showed the highest electronic conductivity of 0.9774 S/cm and ionic conductivity of 2.12 × 10-5 S/cm in half-cell of hard carbon | NaClO 4 1 M EC: DMC (1:1) | Na, with acceptable mechanical properties. These characteristics indicate a promising CNC-Ch substrate candidate for flexible hard carbon anodes for advanced sodiumion battery applications.
