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 ...

This paper examines the impact of charging wet and oxidized material on the quality of cast iron, quality SL20. In consideration were taken the same products obtained from 3 melts. For the production of the first melt wet and oxidized charging components in quantity of 60 % were used, for the second one quantity of 20 % of oxidizied ...

Ductile iron is a pseudo-binary alloy of iron and carbon where the carbon is precipated in the form of nodules (spherical) graphite. The ductile iron, thanks to the specific form of graphite, has a good combination of properties such as elongation, yield strength, good toughness, castability and mechanical workability. Except of grap...

There is something inherent, compelling and mystified in ruins and remains of the old fort. The issues logically imposed at the first encounter with these witnesses of the past are linked to their current condition, age and role in history. Historically, all those fortresses were more than the fortified military structure. They have ...

The effect of fly ash, coal dust and limestone on the properties of brick products are presented in this paper. Three kinds of clay were used to test the effect of additives. There were investigated the effect  of additives on the behaviour of clays during drying and firing (shrinkage and loss of weight), and the  properties of fired samp...

For the production of self-compacting concrete for a specific application, with desired properties in fresh and hardened state, it is necessary to combine the constituent materials in the optimum proportions. The proportioning of self-compacting concrete has to start with defining the required properties. For a particular application, a self-compac...

Refractory materials are an important part of industrial furnaces and metallurgical aggregates. With time and use, the wear out of refractory materials ocures and their replacement becomes necessary. Part of refractory material, which is removed after the demolition of industrial furnaces and metallurgical unit refractory linings, represents refrac...
