Ratio of ultimate tensile strength and yield stress shows lower values in cold drawn wire than in hot rolled state. The results of research addressing the effect of variations in chemical composition of continuous casted billets on mechanical properties of cold-formed wire used in production of steel mesh are presented. In the c...

KAB steels are a newly developed grade of advanced ultra high strength steels, which distinguish themselves by the rapid formation of fine nanostructured carbide free lower bainite. The term nanostructured is used with respect to the thickness of the individual bainitic ferrite plates which can vary between 50 nm to as fine as a few ...

The austenitization is first operation at most operations of heat treatment, and it is implied heating steel on the austenitizing temperature and holding at this temperature while are not achieved completely transformation origin microstructure in austenite. Two base parameters which implicate at effect of austenitization are austeni...

Phase diagram of the Al-Sn-Ga ternary system was calculated using optimized thermodynamic parameters for binary sub-systems based on CALPHAD method. Four vertical sections were calculated: Ga0.5Sn0.5-Al, Al0.5Sn0.5-Ga, Al0.5Ga0.5-Sn, and Al0.9GaSn0.1-Ga. Calculated liquidus projection of the Al-Sn-Ga ternary system and isothermal sec...

In the city of Zenica steel is continuously produced more than 120 years. In all technological stages of production and processing of steel within integrated steel works large amounts of raw materials and fuels which contain a certain amount of sulfur are consumed. The flue gases formed during production and processing of steel contain certain conc...

Final product of the cold forming process gain many advantages that are mostly produced by strengthening of the material in the process. Those advantages are primarily explained as improving mechanical characteristic of the work material. Forward cold flow forming is among those processes and it is mostly related to (forming) shaping...

Steels for screws, nuts and rivets are usually low carbon steels, carbon steels or quenched and tempered low alloy steels. From these are required precisely defined strength properties, hardness and toughness, which determine the so called class strength of screws. This paper describes the thermal treatment of hexagonal screws with s...

For the production of vertically perforated bricks with very good thermal insulation properties it is necessary to increase porosity of ceramic body. The most effective way to achieve this is the addition of organic substances into the clay mass. During the firing process combustion of these substances occures, leaving behind a large number of fine...

Manufacture of pulp for making paper and paperboard in the world has a rapid growth. The need for paper and cardboard is constantly increasing, but the limiting factor is the lack of raw materials - biomass. As a result, there has been a technological orientation to new types of raw materials, which, along with a modified chemical processing proced...
