Testing the influence of curing temperature on the adhesive joint was carried out on samples of aluminum alloy EN AW 5754, with the adhesive surface prepared by abrasive blasting. [..] Read more

Abstract: DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coatings have found applications in various industries due to their unique mechanical properties and wear resistance, which are closely related to their structure. These coatings exhibit a high ratio of sp³ to sp² bonds among carbon atoms. [..] Read more

Abstract: The evolution of paint coatings is rapid, multidirectional, and most interesting. Progress in the field of polymer coating technology stems from the three most important functions: the decorative function, the protective function, and the informative function. [..] Read more

Abstract: Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) is a critical issue that degrades rail surfaces, leading to structural damage and reducing service life. Effective repair techniques, such as plasma cladding with powder filler metal, can restore rail integrity and enhance performance. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effectiveness of the protection of the base metal by the popular corrosion inhibitor BTA (1,2,3-benzotriazole) depending on the method of application of the inhibitor was verified on lead coupons in an environment contaminated with acetic acid. The BTA inhibitor was applied alone or in combination with a protective wax and/or varnish coating: a multi-layer system (BTA-single-layer wax/varnish, BTA-double-layer wax+varnish) or a BTA additive to the wax/varnish coating.

Abstract: One of the most perspective directions of the surface engineering development in recent years concerns the possibility of producing coatings with bactericidal properties. For this purpose modern plasma technologies are used. [..] Read more

Abstract: Polymer surface treatments are now a commonly used technology that finds application across many industries. Additive manufacturing, known as 3D printing, is currently one of the technologies that is used in the production of not only small but also large-size printed parts. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of F30-60-40 and F30-60-80 three-step hot forging processes on the microstructure of the Al0.35CoCrFeNi high entropy alloy. After forging, the alloy exhibited a single-phase face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metallic materials have made possible technological developments over thousands of years. The increased demand for structural nickel alloys in critical areas such as energy, construction, and safety are expected to drive production growth rates of up to 200 percent in 30 years.
