This paper describes the behavior of welded steel components NN-70 in the presence of defects such as cracks in the operation of variable load. Knowing the conditions under which the particular construction operates and knowing the welding technology of the same, we can solidly calculate and assume the remaining life of exploration. By assessing th...

Innovative idea of the device for detecting microstructure changes, concept and construction was carried out and controlled by authors of this article in cooperation with Slovenian industry. Since the electrical resistance is one of the most structurally sensitive properties of the materials, we used its measurement to detect microstructural change...

Partially crystalline metallic glass ZrCu was prepared in the form of ribbons by melt-spinning. The chemical composition and homogeneity of the samples alongside partial crystallinity with the existence of an amorphous matrix was confirmed. The measured value of microhardness shows a nonlinear dependence with the increase of Cu. By adding a small f...

The material of journal end wall for cement mill is cast steel GS-20Mn5, WNo: 1.1120 according to standard DIN 17182. The journal end wall is made from two separately cast part - the plate and the cylinder, which are joined by welding. Inhomogeneity in the rough cast microstructure of materials, inadequate heat treatment of normalization, large non...

Finite element simulations of a fixed-ratio mode-mixity test (single configuration) are performed using cohesive zone model. Different simulation parameters are varied: automatic stabilisation, cohesive element viscosity and mesh size. A global and local approach are presented and used for calculation of energy release rate contribution from mode I...

In this work we studied the response of newly developed armored steel plates PROTAC 500 to the ballistic testing with armored piercing bullets with a core of tungsten carbide, charge 7.62 mm. Interactions between the bullets and the steel plate was investigated by standard metallographic and mechanical testing methods. We were interested in the geo...

The paper presents comparison of microstructure and hardness of Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloy before and after heat treatment (quenching at 900°C/60 min/water and tempering at 300°C/60 min/water). Microstructural analysis was obtained by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometr...

This paper studies the effect of annealing on the microstructure and hardness, microhardness and electrical conductivity changes of cold deformed (ε=40%) sintered pure copper and Cu-4at.% Au alloy. The samples of pure copper and Cu-4at.%Au alloy were obtained by sintering, followed by prefinal rolling, quenching and final rolling with 40% r...
