In conducted research was made a characterisation of microstructure and powder NiCrAlY, before and after applying on the base material. Coating was carried out by using HVOF Diamond Jet procedure, which uses the kinetic energy of the metal particles produced by on explosion of combustible gases. Characterisation was based on chemical analysis of me...

The physical-mechanical properties of concrete with nanosilica were experimentally studied. Nanosilica in powder form was used as a partial replacement of cement at dosage of 3 and 6 wt.%. The experimental results show that the compressive strengths of concretes with nanosilica particles were all higher than those of reference concretes at ages 1, ...

FeCrAl alloys have good oxidation resistance at elevated temperature owing to the formation of a continuous Al2O3 surface film, which acts as an oxygen diffusion barrier. The aim of the present study was to investigate the early stages of protective oxide layer formation and its growth on specially prepared commercial FeCrAl alloys, Kanthal AF (K-A...
