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, ...

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...

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...

In this paper, an analysis of the surface water and sediment of the Drina River was carried out.Samples were taken from different six locations along the course of the Drina River in Bosnia andHerzegovina. Selected heavy metals were determined in the sediment after acid digestion usingatomic absorption spectrometry - flame technique. The same metho...

Titanium and its alloys, particularly Ti6Al4V, are widely used, especially in aerospace andmedicine due to their relatively low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. However,there are formidable challenges in casting, forming, and machining titanium alloys, which result infinal products that are considerably more expensive. Additiv...

Aluminium alloy foams are a form of porous metal whose structure resembles the shape of natural materials such as coral, bone, sponge, etc. Due to their structure, these materials retain good mechanical properties of the base material while being significantly lighter than non-porous metal. Metal foams can be used as energy and vibration absorbe...
