Abstract: Hydrothermally obtained Mg3Ta208 pseudo-binary nanomaterial from MgO and Ta2O5 (3:1) precursors was deposited using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on carbon steel disks. The PLD main processes parameters, i.e. [..] Read more

Abstract: One of the intensively studied issues regarding hydrogen embrittlement of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) is the absorption and diffusion of hydrogen produced by atmospheric corrosion. Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) is a tool sensitive enough to detect low amounts of hydrogen formed during atmospheric corrosion. [..] Read more

Abstract: There are various solutions to the endings of flue, combustion and ventilation ducts. Their location is largely high altitude installations that are often difficult to access. [..] Read more

Abstract: The Mg – 2.2-3.8 wt.% Zn – 0.3-0.7 wt.% Ca – 0-0.9 wt.% Mn alloys as a material for the production of biodegradable implants was investigated. Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) to improve the grain structure and mechanical properties of the alloys was used. [..] Read more

Abstract: Process was developed for free-chromate passivation of zinc coatings. An optimal composition of the solution was developed. [..] Read more

Abstract: Flake zinc-aluminium coatings are used in industry for decades. They can perform high corrosion resistance according to required accelerated tests, but in the field application the corrosion resistance is reduced due to nonuniform thickness of coating layers. [..] Read more

Abstract: Aluminum alloys show a high strength-to-weight ratio and a relatively good corrosion resistance making them prospective structural materials in many fields. In material standards of commercial Al alloys, chemical composition is always defined as concentration ranges of alloying elements and impurities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Every year, around 300 million m3 of seawater is desalinated & lots of researches are involved in the same domain. Various methods & techniques were invented to rise up the level of water purity. [..] Read more

Abstract: The study presents the results of the corrosion resistance research of DC01 steel, protected by VentureShield™ VS 7510 E film. The assessment of corrosion resistance of the examined material was conducted by using linear polarization method, according to the EN ISO 10271:2012 standard. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the corrosion resistance of the plastically deformed and heat treated aluminized steel samples. It was the non-standard study, but the most important conditions have been taken from the standards. [..] Read more

Abstract: Austenitic steels with 20-30 % Mn, and 5-10 % Al have a high level of toughness and ductility in comparison to carbon steels, used for construction of vehicles. The corrosion behavior of those steels can be negatively affected by a high manganese content, which is electrochemically non-noble element and supports certain types of localized corrosion. [..] Read more

Abstract: Laser marking is the modern industrial application for non-contact surface modification. An incidence of a laser beam on the marked surface causes material and structural changes, which lead to optical changes of the surface. [..] Read more

Abstract: From the large number of available metals with the memory of shape only a few of them found clinical application. Biocompatible orthodontic wires, applied in case of false occlusion reconstruction, are made of intelligent materials and components. [..] Read more

Abstract: The corrosion resistance of aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) foundry alloys is a result of microstructure development influenced by melt treatment and solidification. As a part of the main eutectic (αAl + βSi), βSi particles are cathodic with respect to the αAl matrix enabling micro-galvanic couple formation and localized corrosion. [..] Read more

Abstract: CuAl10Ni5Fe4 aluminum bronzes have better corrosion resistance and higher wear resistance at high temperatures compared to other copper alloys. In this study, the effect of cobalt (Co) and titanium (Ti), which were added in the amount of 0.5 % as a grain refiner, on the properties of nickel-containing aluminum bronze (CuAl10Ni5Fe4 alloy) was investigated in cast and forged conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Steel wire ropes are lifting equipments used in many areas such as fishing, mining, oil&gas, construction and marine. Steel wire ropes, which stand out with their high lifting capacity and optimum elongation, can be produced in different properties and constructions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Magnesium alloys are characterized by high corrosion rates. This undesirable phenomenon can be slowed down by corrosion inhibitors. [..] Read more

Abstract: The use of anti-corrosion paint coatings on steel pipes is a common practice for their protection against corrosion. However, such coatings may have an impact on the results of the thermographic inspection, which can be used, for example, for their corrosion damage identification. [..] Read more

Abstract: Carbon dioxide is one of the possible working media for future advanced technologies in the power industry. Its use is possible in the supercritical state as a cooling medium in the nuclear power industry, as an extraction solvent, in the combustion of fossil fuels, in concentrating solar systems, or in CCS(Carbon Capture and Storage) processes. [..] Read more

Abstract: Corrosion and material selection are critical challenges in the practical design and operation of power plants, chemical plants, pipeline transportation systems, and wells. All of these are components of the systems used to capture and store carbon dioxide (CCS). [..] Read more
