In order to examine the state of critical components of the boiler of Unit 5 of Kakanj Thermal Prema wer Plant, headers were tested in order to undertake appropriate technological measures and activities on the basis of insight into the current state of affairs, and to make recommendations for further exploitation. From first commiss...

Steel cooling is an important technological operation because the final microstructure of the steel,and therefore its properties, depends on the cooling rate. The speed of steel cooling depends onnumerous factors, one of which is the movement of the cooling media. This paper presents theresults of testing the influence of mixing the cooling media o...

The paper describes the determination of the mechanical properties of the spherical floors of pressure vessels, obtained by the welding process and shaped by the process of gradual local deformation in the cold state, i.e. by the process of Incremental sheet forming (ISF). Spherical cylindrical bottoms are an integral part of most cl...

Many alloys exhibit the shape memory effect, but only the Cu-Al-Zn, Cu-AI-Ni, and Ni-Ti alloysare presentand of commercial importance. The greatest use of these alloys is in biomedicine(filters, orthodontic implants, guide wires for catheters, etc.). Shape-memory alloys may be foundin sensors in automobiles, consumer products, and generally in smar...

In the paper, the influence of the cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut) duringthe machining of the cylindrical steel part on the surface roughness (average surface roughness-Ra) is analysed using experimental investigation. The material used in the full factorialexperimental investigation was C45 steel, a diameter of 50 mm, ma...

The particle shape and size of the starting powders represent the most important physicalproperties, on which the quality of the compacts and final sintered products depends. Two types ofpowder were analyzed in the paper - electrolytic copper powder with a dendritic particle shape andwater-atomized copper powder with an irregular particle shape. Th...

Austempered ductile iron is the last addition to the group of ductile irons obtained by isothermalimprovement of classic ductile iron. Austempered nodular cast iron has improved mechanicalproperties and a different matrix microstructure compared to known iron-based castings. Thistype of casting is obtained by isothermal improvement - austempering, ...
