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...

Stainless steel plays an important role in all emerging technologies. Detrimental effects of inclusions in steel do not only depend on their sizes, shape, distribution, but also on their chemical composition and mechanical properties. For this reason, the control of formation of non metallic inclusions and the characterization presen...

In recent decades the production of chemically bonded refractory materials has been clearely increased. In this paper was examined the added amount effection of 50% solution of mono aluminum phosphate (MAP) as a binder in refractory concretes. Quartz, sand and chamotte are used as fillers. Research has shown that the bond between the filler and the...
