Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are advanced functional materials suitable for technical applications. Among them Cu-Al-Mn alloy is a promising candidate for industry applications (mechanical engineering, electro-engineering etc.) due to their ductility. In this work analysis of the Cu-Al-Mn alloy after smelting and casting in the laborat...

Cu-alloys have been intensively studied because of their high thermal conductivity, good electrical and shape memory properties and low cost. Cu-Al-Mn alloys show a higher ductility and elongation in relation to the other Cu-based alloys, as well as a good potential for a cold drawing. Therefore, the investigation of these alloys is ...

Phase diagram of the Al-Sn-Ga ternary system was calculated using optimized thermodynamic parameters for binary sub-systems based on CALPHAD method. Four vertical sections were calculated: Ga0.5Sn0.5-Al, Al0.5Sn0.5-Ga, Al0.5Ga0.5-Sn, and Al0.9GaSn0.1-Ga. Calculated liquidus projection of the Al-Sn-Ga ternary system and isothermal sec...

The results of the comparative prediction of thermodynamic properties for Ga-Zn-Sn system are presented in this paper. Two thermodynamic predicting models were used for the calculation – one symmetrical (Muggianu), one assymetrical (Toop) model and general solution model. The calculations were done for different sections in exa...

Flotation tailings represent the sources of pollution due to degradation of the areas in the vicinity of industrial facilities, raising dust that pollutes the air and penetration of contaminated water into water courses. Flotation tailings Bor, which was the subject of research in this paper, contains copper and is, therefore, a pote...

This paper studies the effect of annealing on the microstructure and hardness, microhardness and electrical conductivity changes of cold deformed (ε=40%) sintered pure copper and Cu-4at.% Au alloy. The samples of pure copper and Cu-4at.%Au alloy were obtained by sintering, followed by prefinal rolling, quenching and final rolling with 40% r...

For exceptional demands of product quality, modern technological solutions allow that the nutritive value of food products, produced using a different technological processes, preserve and extend with application of a modified atmosphere. Using a combination of modified amtosfere, depending on the barrier properties of packaging materials, allows c...
