Abstract: At present, the research in the field of energy and resource-saving phosphating technologies is being continued, including the processes of applying adhesive and anticorrosive phosphate layers. The phosphating used in the industry is energy-intensive due to the high operating temperatures of the processes, which is necessary to obtain high-quality coatings in a technologically acceptable time.

Abstract: In the design and analysis of shell and tube heat exchangers, choosing the appropriate material is essential. Materials are chosen based on several factors, such as excellent thermal conductivity, strong corrosion resistance, and robust structural integrity. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years, nanoparticles have high importance in various areas such as biomedical, environmental or pharmaceutical applications due to their chemical and physical properties. In all these applications, maintaining control over the particle size and shape is of high significance due to their size and shape-dependent properties. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper describes processes of edge deburring and surface polishing with ceramic tools based on aluminium oxide. It presents the construction of basic types of tools and their practical industrial applications, and evaluates the influence of machining parameters on surface roughness.. [..] Read more

Abstract: Ion track-etched membranes are porous systems obtained by etching of the latent ion tracks using a suitable etchant solution. In this work, control of the pores’ spatial profiles and dimensions in PET polymers was achieved by varying etching temperature and etching time. [..] Read more

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a popular sample for various nanotechnology studies. However, they are very difficult to synthesize en masse. [..] Read more

Abstract: Currently, it is well known that metallothioneins (MTs) play substantial role in many pathophysiological processes, including carcinogenesis and they can serve as diagnostic biomarkers. In order to increase the applicability of MT in diagnostics, an easy-to-use and rapid detection method is required. [..] Read more

Abstract: As primary resources become more and more complex in their chemical composition and some places poor in their valuable metals in the ore secondary sources like slag phases from the production processes get in the focus of the metal industry. Currently about 70% of copper slag remains is ineffectively utilized. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years, the application of various additions (hydrides, oxides, intermetallic compounds, etc.) to powder mixtures for manufacturing Nd-Fe-B magnets shows promise as the method that allows one to increase the hysteretic characteristics of the magnets at the expense of realized grain-boundary diffusion and grain-boundary structuring processes. The hysteretic characteristics of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are highly sensitive to their microstructure and composition of phases. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study reports an alternative route for obtaining crystalline metal boride composite powders at low temperatures using various chemical reactions. The ternary system of Co-Ni-B was studied by using anhydrous metal chlorides and sodium borohydride powder mixtures. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the effect of high voltage electrospark deposition (ESD) using tungsten electrode on the carbon steel. The layers were investigated with metallographic methods. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effect of Thermomechanical Processing, using cold deformation with the combination of post deformation annealing and induction hardening based on the of dislocation structure inheritance effect on the strength, ductility, and torsion static strength has been studied. The metal with an initial structure of lamellar pearlite has shown to be more advantageous with respect to the strengthening intensity during cold rolling and the combination of mechanical properties after the TMP.

Abstract: Suppliers are an inevitable part of a logistics chain. It is crucial for each company to select the best possible suppliers. [..] Read more

Abstract: CALPHAD-based calculations, for quite some time now, have been very useful and convenient way to obtain data needed for modelling of solidification process. Among scientists, interested in and working on the topic, knowledge of existence of software for thermodynamic calculations is widely spread, but at the same time its usage is limited.

Abstract: During the production of high carbon ferromanganese, the feed undergoes different stages of reduction. Three main zones were assumed instead of traditional four. [..] Read more

Abstract: Electrical steel sheet is an important material in the manufacture of various parts of electrical devices with high magnetic properties. The need to form the desired properties of the metal makes special demands on the organization of the production technology for both hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheets. [..] Read more

Abstract: Flexible electronics are nowadays manufactured on substrates made particularly of plastics and paper. In demand for better optical and chemical properties, glass is also used in its ultra-thin flexible form (UTFG). [..] Read more

Abstract: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are ever-growing multidisciplinary fields. Along with the development of tissue carriers, methods for testing the biocompatibility of these materials are also being developed. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the search for a suitable and biocompatible material with high photothermal efficacy for hyperthermic application in nanomedicine, gold (Au) nanocolloid solutions with a surface plasmon resonance located in the near-infrared spectral region were prepared using a one-step environmentally friendly phytosynthetic process. The room-temperature process involves a liquid extract of Mentha × piperita leaves and Au(III) aqueous solutions, and no additional reagents or surfactants are required. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study is focused on the numerical analysis of molten steel flow in the CC mold of a continuous casting machine for two different steel grades - ferritic low-carbon stainless steel 409L and normalized structural steel S275N, by EN 10025-3. The aim was to identify the influence of the physical and metallurgical properties of these steels on flow behavior and thermal conditions in the solidification zone. [..] Read more
