KAB steels are a newly developed grade of advanced ultra high strength steels, which distinguish themselves by the rapid formation of fine nanostructured carbide free lower bainite. The term nanostructured is used with respect to the thickness of the individual bainitic ferrite plates which can vary between 50 nm to as fine as a few ...

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 ...

Polymer bonded Nd-Fe-B magnets belong to the group of functional composite materials, which consist mainly of two components: a polymer binder (PPS, PA) and magnetic particles of Nd-Fe-B alloy. The appropriate amounts of polymer binder, magnetic powder and additives are compounded by the twin screw extruder into a compound, that can ...
