Abstract:
The intermetallic phase LaNi5 is known as a material for reversible hydrogen storage due to its suitable thermodynamic properties, and relatively fast kinetics of hydrogen absorption and desorption with the formation of LaNi5H7 hydride. This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a modified LaNi5 phase with the addition of indium. [..]

Abstract:
This study investigates the deposition conditions of carbonate-based coatings on AZ31 magnesium alloy pretreated with an Mg(OH)₂ interlayer in the presence of ammonium ions. The effect of temperature and exposure time on phase formation, growth mechanism, and corrosion performance was systematically evaluated. [..]

Abstract:
Beta titanium alloys are promising materials for biomedical and aerospace applications due to their low elastic modulus, high strength, and biocompatibility. For such applications, however, a thorough understanding of their fatigue behaviour is essential. [..]

Abstract:
Flax biocomposites are increasingly being considered for lightweight structures within the framework of circular economy principles, including end-of-life reuse and mechanical recycling. However, under real-world operating conditions, natural fibers are highly hygroscopic and may be exposed not only to water but also to urea-based automotive fluids, such as AdBlue. [..]

Abstract:
This study investigates chemical and electrochemical post-processing of additively manufactured WE43 Mg alloy in order to remove adhered partially melted powder particles. The objective was to evaluate the influence of different etching media on surface morphology, strut removal uniformity, and the extent of localized corrosion damage. [..]

Abstract:
This study evaluates the influence of chemical composition on proton-induced primary radiation damage in selected Al-Li-X alloys relevant to space applications. The hypothesis assumes that variations in alloying additions lead to measurable differences in defect magnitude and spatial distribution under identical irradiation conditions. [..]

Abstract:
The study focuses on a comprehensive analysis of the structure and thermal stability of the magnetic parameters of two commercial ring-shaped strontium ferrite magnets, for which the manufacturing conditions were unknown. Structural characterization was carried out using powder X‑ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX analysis. [..]

Abstract:
The article analyses the dynamic response of a spinning module body made of an aluminium alloy, aiming to improve its damping properties under high-frequency vibrations in the pre-resonance and resonance regions, which are a critical factor influencing system stability and service life. Since the inherent damping capacity of the aluminium alloy body is insufficient for the operating conditions, structural modifications were proposed, including the application of a damping material to the body cavities (forming a hybrid metal-damping material structure) and an increase in stiffness through thicker ribbing.

Abstract:
Hydrogen can significantly influence the plastic deformation behaviour of high entropy alloys (HEAs) by altering the dominant deformation mechanisms. In this work, the tensile deformation of a face-centred cubic (FCC) Al0.35CoCrFeNi alloy was investigated using acoustic emission (AE) analysis before and after hydrogen charging, with a focus on statistical evaluation of deformation mechanisms.

Abstract:
This study presents a comparative evaluation of a conventional Cu-based friction material and a newly designed Fe-based composite with reduced environmental impact due to the lower toxicity of iron. Both metal-ceramic materials are widely used in practical applications, particularly in industrial systems such as railway and tram braking systems. [..]

Abstract:
Polyurethane (PU) modelling boards and foams are widely used for manufacturing prototypes, models, and moulds; however, CNC machining generates substantial amounts of fine chips and dust that are typically downcycled or landfilled. This paper presents a mechanically straightforward upcycling route in which PU machining chips are milled, sieved, and re-used as a loose particulate core in carbon/epoxy sandwich composites. [..]

Abstract:
This review combines research on chemical processes involved in calcium carbide production using low-rank coal as a reductant to address gaps in understanding reaction mechanisms, process efficiency, and raw material utilization. The review aimed to evaluate reaction pathways, benchmark energy consumption, assess coal properties and preparation effects, identify additives enhancing yield and purity, and compare thermodynamic and kinetic models.

Abstract:
Energy analyses in the metallurgical sector traditionally focus on upstream processes such as steelmaking and refining. However, when energy consumption is evaluated at the level of individual products, downstream manufacturing stages can represent a significant share of the total energy demand. [..]

Abstract:
The increasing demand for critical metals required for modern technologies has led to recycling waste or any secondary sources containing valuable metals in the present case germanium. Copper slags are generally rich in iron and silicate phases in form of fayalite, which contains trace metals of germanium, gallium, zinc and other critical elements that can be liberated. [..]
