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...

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...

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...

The results of the comparative prediction of thermodynamic properties for Ga-Zn-Sn system are presented in this paper. Two thermodynamic predicting models were used for the calculation – one symmetrical (Muggianu), one assymetrical (Toop) model and general solution model. The calculations were done for different sections in exa...
