Abstract: Metallurgical slag is a waste product of metallurgical processes and an important raw material, for example, in the construction industry or road building. The use of slag depends, among other things, on its chemical composition. [..] Read more

Abstract: Steels dusts from electrostatic processes, which are currently a problem in the ecological sense, is a rich but problematic carrier of many elements such as Fe, Zn, Mn, Cr. The existing recycling technologies, unfortunately, do not allow for their full recovery. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents the technology of manufacturing of precursors (special kind of filling mould material) for possibility to create a complex internal structure of the metallic foam casting. Due to the purpose for which the precursors are used, they must meet specific criteria. [..] Read more

Abstract: The program Bi-Growth were used for simulating the formation of non-metallic inclusions (REM-O-S), and their growth. In the process of refining, the non-metallic inclusions are heterogeneous and create a mixture of different oxides or oxides and sulfides. [..] Read more

Abstract: Severe hot forming methods are effective in grain refinement and controlled development of microstructure. One of these methods is the cumulative deformation on the MAXStrain simulation module. [..] Read more

Abstract: Using the sophisticated MAXStrain II unit, part of the HDS-20 simulator, the effect of intensive cumulative hot deformation on the final structural properties of non-alloyed low carbon steel was investigated. In the case of the MAXStrain II unit, the specimens are deformed by compression in two axes, which allows to achieve large cumulative strains. [..] Read more

Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANN) embody the wide family of various brain-inspired approaches finding their utilization at the solution of many up-to-date issues, e.g., voice, picture and video processing and recognition or regression analysis. The ANN-based regression analysis is able to provide a functional relationship between the high number of predictors and high number of outcomes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The tests on high-Mn of 27Mn-4Si-2Al-Nb type steel were carried out. The steel was solution heat-treatment at different temperatures in a range from 900 °C to 1200 °C. [..] Read more

Abstract: In this paper the scientific basics for the production of ultra-fine grained titanium using the technology of Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) deformation to manufacture medical implants for their wide use in trauma treatment and dentistry are presented. Special attention is paid to the physics and mechanics of methods of ECAP deformation leading to the formation of ultra-fine grained structures in titanium. [..] Read more

Abstract: The author of this paper presented the concept of manufacturing metal expansion joints using a hybrid method of mechanically assisted laser forming. An experiment was carried out based on the presented concept assumptions.The parameters used in the experiment and the final effect are presented. [..] Read more

Abstract: The DRECE method is a very promising method for forming sheet metal sheet using the severe plastic deformations (SPD) principle. The DRECE method is characterized by the continuous extrusion of the sheet metal strip by the forming die, which creates a forming angle of 108 ° in the deformation zone. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents laboratory physical modeling of the seamless tubes production, specifically the first step of the Mannesmann production process, the so-called punching. A “Universal rolling mill” at MATERIAL & METALLURGICAL RESEARCH Ltd. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with the grain refinement and microstructure evolution of AZ61 magnesium alloy subjected to sever plastic deformation (SPD) by ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing) process. The commercial hot extruded AZ61 alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation possesses a two-phase microstructure consisting of solid solution matrix and massive 𝛾 - phase Mg17Al12 distributed mostly at grain boundaries.

Abstract: The creation of UFG (ultra-fine grain) materials is a new and promising way to improve metals and alloys for advanced structural and functional application. To date, it is common knowledge that UFG materials can be successfully produced by intense plastic deformation. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the design of the technology for the production of the cover stamping to achieve the minimum cost of one piece of the produced component. By calculation, the minimum values of the radius of curvature of the edge of the draw die and the edge of the draw punch were determined to eliminate the calibration operation. [..] Read more

Abstract: The technology severe plastic deformation was applied on austenitic steel AISI 316. It was verification of severe plastic deformation application possibility on steel AISI 316 importantly for following applying on similar kinds of steel, because SPD technology influence on fatigue properties was confirmed. [..] Read more

Abstract: Micro-forming is one of the most popular micro manufacturing processes for manufacturing vsmall metallic parts in sub millimetre range. The proposed process is called Micro-Blanking with Mutual Calibration - MBMC. [..] Read more

Abstract: Titanium stabilized stainless steel 08Ch18N10T is widely used in VVER nuclear power plants. The alloy 800H is a very promising structural material for application in future nuclear power plants working under more severe working conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: Specimen cleaning and drying are critical processes following any metallographic preparation steps. The paper focuses on automation by reason of absence of the process repeatability during manual sample handling. [..] Read more

Abstract: Material parts can be separated either mechanically or thermally. During the thermal cutting of the material, the base material is locally melted, burned, or vaporized. [..] Read more
