The Cu-Al-Zn alloy is used as a functional material in industry, and also as a biomaterial. These alloys have excellent electrical properties, good thermal conductivity, and can also be used for biomedical purposes.The basic characteristic of alloys that remember their shape is their independent return to some of their remembered shape when the tem...

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a semicrystalline polymer whose piezoelectric performance is maximized in its polar β-phase. In this study, nano-structured PVDF matrix composites incorporating ceramic fillers were fabricated and evaluated as potential sensor materials.  The PVDF used in this work was recovered from machining waste of hi...

Lightweight concrete is increasingly utilized in sustainable construction due to its reduced weight and improved thermal performance. However, replacing conventional aggregates with alternative lightweight materials may result in a reduction in concrete strength. To address this issue, fiber reinforcement has been introduced to enhance the concrete...

Because of their properties, superalloys are primarily used for the production of structural parts whose operating conditions correspond to elevated temperatures and often extremely aggressive environments. Because of that, they require a combination of high strength, good fatigue and creep resistance, and good corrosion resistance. Nimonic 80A is ...

The paper presents the results of a microstructural analysis of copper alloys produced in the Copper Mill Sevojno. The analyzed materials comprise high-purity copper (Cu-ETP and Cu-DHP) and a series of brass alloys with varying zinc content (CuZn10, CuZn15, CuZn28, CuZn30, CuZn33, CuZn37). Various thermomechanical treatments were conducted on the s...

This project investigated the potential of using dolomite from Central Bosnia as a raw material for high-purity metallic magnesium production. Extensive sampling and mineralogical analyses revealed the suitability of these deposits, particularly for methods like the Pidgeon Process. Preliminary results underscored the strategic value of Bosnia&rsqu...
