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...

Application of the new materials in the automotive industry is a challenge that is placed in front of researchers of our times. The challenge is reflected in the modification of the chemical composition of steel and heat treatment in order to achieve improved mechanical properties. Steel 17-7PH is austenitic - martensitic steel with ...

Dimensional tolerances of semi-products for the automotive industry became extremely narrow, and allow no deviations in the production process. In present research work the distortion behaviour of C15E (1.1141) and 42CrMo4 (1.7225) steels during two common industrial heat treatments (quenching and controlled heating and cooling) was ...

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...

A coal dust is added to brick clay mainly to save energy and increase porosity. This paper examines the influence of coal from Coal mine "Kakanj", in the amount of 10% and 20%, on some physical and technological properties of brick clay "Rapajlo". The impact of coal on the plasticity of clay, and the characteristics of dried and fired samples was i...

This study is about possibility of the production of CEM I 52,5 in cementplant Kakanj satisfying some requirements for cement quality issued by EN 197-1. By EN 197-1, CEM I 52,5R consists of 95-100 % clinker and minor additional constituents of 0 - 5 %. Fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag are used as minor constituents in this study. The lowe...

The main characteristic of hydrotechnical cement, which is used to build massive structures, is the low heat of hydration. In this work is examined the effect of the electrofilter ash with a high content of calcium oxide addition on the hydration heat of Portland cement. The cement samples containing 0% to 50 % fly ash from TPP „Kakanj“...

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...

The study examined adsorption of Reactive Violet 5 (RV-5) textile dye from the aqueous environment on MFI zeolites as adsorbents at 283, 293 and 303 K. The reaction was observed on the original NH4ZSM-5 zeolite, a product of the Zeolyst International American company, and on the modified HZSM-5 zeolite. The concentration of dye before and after the...
