Ratio of ultimate tensile strength and yield stress shows lower values in cold drawn wire than in hot rolled state. The results of research addressing the effect of variations in chemical composition of continuous casted billets on mechanical properties of cold-formed wire used in production of steel mesh are presented. In the c...

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 ...

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels represents a group of low carbon steels that utilise small amaunts of alloying elements, such as Mo, Ti, V and Nb, to attain yield strengths in excess of 275 MPa in the as rolled condition. The main properties of HSLA steels that make them for wide variety of applications are: strength and toughn...

Oil pump, apropos gear pump is used for lubrication in the automotive industry. In the process of the engine, and the oil pump, there is rotation of the shaft and without bearing sleeve there would be „spending”casing which is made of cast iron. The bearing sleeve is mounted in order to reduce wear and ensure the consiste...

Many types of alloys are available as dental implants, but titanium and its alloys have been widely used due to their outstanding properties. In this research titanium alloys with different Zr contents were prepared by arc-melting. Phase identification was performed by XRD analysis. Microstructure was observed by light microscope aft...
