CALIBRATION OF THE LIGHT MICROSCOPE
Metallic materials thanks to the excellent combination of data on material properties are obtained by standardized and agreed testing of samples made from semi-finished or finished products. Metallic materials can be tested by different testing techniques. One of them is metallographic testing, for which a light microscope is used as a basic device...

CALIBRATION OF TEST DEVICE FOR MICROHARDNESS TESTING
Proper calibration of the device is important to prevent potential sources of error, which ensures that the test results most effectively represent the value of the sample being tested. In microhardness testing, the loading force does not exceed 1.96 N. The test surface requires a more complex metallographic preparation, and the smaller the injecti...

CONTEMPORARY MATERIALS FOR HEAT HARVESTING
In this paper, we have introduced new contemporary materials for heat harvesting, based on thermoelectric effect (or Seebeck effect): rear earth mono-pnictides and graphene. Measure of effectiveness for transformation of heat to electricity is represented with zT factor, which measure heat harvesting potential. zT factor is related with heat and el...

INVESTIGATION THE POSSIBILITY OF POZZOLANIC CEMENT CEM IV 42,5N PRODUCTION IN CEMENT PLANT KAKANJ
This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the possibility of CEM IV 42,5N producing by increasing the specific cement surface from 3180 to 3850 cm2 /g. In this paper, fly ash is used as a cement admixture because fly ash possesses both hydraulic and pozzolanic properties. If one part of the clinker, as a major cement admixture, is repla...

CHAMOTTE REFRACTORY CASTABLE PROPERTIES ENHANCING BY OPTIMIZING PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The paper examined the changes in properties of conventional castables composed of a mixture of calcium-aluminate cement and chamotte caused by changes in the particle size distribution. Properties of castable with 20 % cement and „as received“ chamotte were compared with castableofparticle size distribution adapted to the calculated di...

EFFECT OF DISPERSANT ON GROUND GRANULATED BLASTFURNACE SLAG PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION DETERMINED BY LASER DIFFRACTION METHOD
Particle size distribution measurements were performed on ground granulated blastfurnace slag by laser diffraction with the powder dispersed in distilled water with sodium hexametaphosphate used as dispersing agent, as well as in pure distilled water and propan-2-ol. Two samples of slag with Blaine fineness 4700 cm2 /g and5500 cm2 /g were tested.Th...

DUCTILE IRON MICROSTRUCTURE DESIGN USING HEAT TREATMENT PROCESSES
Mechanical properties of the ductile iron strongly depend on its microstructure. Different microstructural constituents result in different values of mechanical and ductile properties of ductile iron castings. One of the possibilities to design (define) microstructure of ductile iron castings is an application of different heat treatment processes....
