The 32nd International Conference on Metallurgy and Materials METAL 2023 took place in Brno on 17-19 May 2023. Almost 180 participants from 21 countries listened to 65 lectures and viewed 86 posters.

The conference was opened by Assoc. Prof. Christian Bernhard, a head of a steel cleanness and casting research group in Department for Metallurgy, Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria. He dedicated his lecture to the topic of Continuous Casting of Steel: Latest achievements and future challenges for research. The second plenary lecture was given by Jožef Medved, professor at the Department for Materials and Metallurgy, Faculty for Natural Science and Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The lecture dealt with the Aluminium – Sustainable Material of Green Transition.

However, the thematic scope of the conference lectures was traditionally much broader. Researchers presented innovations not only in the fields of advanced iron, cast iron, steelmaking, non-ferrous metals and alloys, metal forming and surface engineering, but also in the economics and management of metallurgical production.

The prize for the best poster has been awarded to Alexandr Arbuz from Nazarbayev University in Temirtau (Kazakhstan). In his work, he presented FEM-Simulation of Transverse Defect Closure in Austenitic Stainless Steel by Radial Shear Rolling.

The Czech Association of Scientific and Technical Societies awards the prize for the best poster presentation in the student category to Zuzana Košelová from Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS, Czech Republic, for her poster on Functional Tungsten-Based Thin Films and Their Characterization.

The next 33rd METAL conference will take place on May 22 - 24, 2023.

Abstract: Protective coatings for machine parts can be economically viable if the wear is localized or if the coating material has different properties than the substrate. Technological surface layers (TSLs) are applied to objects before use, while functional surface layers (FSLs) are applied during maintenance. [..] Read more

Abstract: Magnesium and its alloys are interesting materials but they have low corrosion resistance. Magnesium-aluminium double layered hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) coatings were prepared on AZ31 alloy by hydrothermal method at 50 °C, 70 °C and 90 °C at different reaction times (3 h, 6 h and 24 h).

Abstract: This article deals with the evaluation of the microstructure and tribological and mechanical properties of hardmetal coatings based on WC and CrC, which were applied to the base material S235JR by the HVOF thermal spraying technology. Experiments such as microhardness HV0.3, superficial hardness HR15N, adhesion determination, abrasive wear and reciprocating sliding wear test were performed to compare the properties of the coatings and see how they differ depending on the selected additive material.

Abstract: It has been observed that the products obtained by means of 3D printing technology, even in the case of consideration of optimal parameters of printing technology recommended by the manufacturers of metal powders laser sintering systems, are characterized by certain structural discontinuities (pores and unmelted powder) in surface layer. Therefore, surface modification via shot peening is considered suitable for additive manufacturing of parts made of 17-4PH stainless steel. [..] Read more

Abstract: Complex concentrated alloy (CCA) with a nominal composition Al0.4CoCr1.3FeNi1.3(Si, Ti, C, B)0.4 was prepared at two different solidification conditions. Centrifugal casting (CC) of the CCA was applied due to the turbulent filling of a graphite mould at non-steady solidification conditions and directional solidification (DS) was performed at steady-state solidification conditions.

Abstract: Welding of components processed by additive manufacturing (AM) to conventionally produced components become important for industrial applications. Among AM production methods, selective laser melting method provides number of advantages such as use of various type of materials, increased functionality, relatively low cost and the production of smooth surface components ready to use.Within the scope of this study, preliminary research studies were carried out to demonstrate the feasibility of similar and dissimilar friction stir welded AlSi10Mg plates produced by selective laser melting.

Abstract: Through the rising amount of hydrogen in natural gases provided by the suppliers technical questions about the process control based on the off-gas composition as well as about the supply of the necessary process heat come up. But also the hydrogen solubility plays a significant role in many processes in which solid or liquid metals like copper are produced. [..] Read more

Abstract: Currently, an avalanche of technology development can be observed, which results in an increase in the production and sale of electrical and electronic devices. The lifetime of electronic components, which at the end of the 20th century was 4 to 6 years, was shortened to 2 years in the first decade of the 21st century, and even to 9 months in the case of mobile phones.
