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 ...

Based on microscopic (exciton) theory of optical properties of symmetrically perturbed ultrathin molecular films, the absorption, reflection and transparency indices were formulated and presented in the function of frequencies of external electromagnetic field in near IR region. It has been showed that all optical properties depend o...

Nanometalic materials are at the present moment the most commercialized class of nanomaterials. Methods for their synthesis and exploitation of the physical phenomena of their behaviour on atomic level are ever-expanding. Their prices are sometimes too high and in lowering the price, finding the new recourses of raw materials, would ...

FeCrAl alloys are used in a wide range of resistance and high-temperature applications such as wire heaters, furnace structure parts, etc. Their oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures relies on the formation of a thin and a continuous Al2O3 layer on the alloy surface. Growth and thickness of the protective Al2O3 layer depends ...

The paper presents investigation of the influence of water to cement ratio, w/c, to speed the corrosion of concrete and reinforcing steel in concrete caused by salts of magnesium. The samples were preparatory varying w/c (0,5 and 0,7). The test samples were treated nine months in the following solutions: 5% MgCl2, 5% MgSO4, 5% MgCl2 ...

Research focus of this paper are stresses in concrete, reinforcement and tendons, cracks and deflections of the prestressed girders of “Type A” in order to optimize the span of such girder for the same amount of tendons and reinforcing steel. Serviceability Limit State (SLS) is a condition in which construction ceases to ...

For the development of refractory coatings with controlled rheological properties the influence of micronized milling process was investigated. Change the properties of fillers based on cordierite, primarily on changing the size and shape of grain fillers, dispersion and stability of the suspension of the coating was investigated, al...

Because of the oil shortage and the growing increasing environmental burdens-emission from motor vehicles, the idea of the biofuels application has been actualized. The European Union directive 2003/30/EC obliged Member States that until 31 December 2005, they must provide at least 2% share of biofuels and other renewable fuels in the total amount ...

Water that is commonly used for drinking is groundwater, that appears on the surface of the Earth's crust as sources of different types and capacities, and in most cases that water is chemical, physical and bacteriological acceptable and suitable for use. In some cases, there is some blurring of water, that is the result of heavy rainfall or some h...

Today there is a growing research activity in order to investigate the possibility of using various waste or alternative materials in the cement and other industries. In this paper the possibility of using wood paulownia (lat. Paulownia elongata) as a completely new type of alternative fuel has been analyzed. Its applicability in cement industry in...
