Abstract: The main objectives of the project are to define the design requirements for the future SCW-SMR technology, to develop the pre-licensing study and guidelines for the demonstration of the safety in the further development stages of the SCW-SMR concept including the methodologies and tools to be used and to identify the key obstacles for the future SMR licencing and propose strategy for this process. The project consortium consists of laboratories from Europe, Canada and China. [..] Read more

Abstract: Medium manganese steels belong to the group of third generation high-strength steels. These steels show an excellent combination of strength and ductility. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper describes the use of reverse engineering to creating a digital model of face gear from 3D point cloud. The construction of a computational model of a physical object was carried out using an optical three-dimensional scanner. [..] Read more

Abstract: Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings with and without calcium phosphate (CaP) were prepared on AZ31 magnesium alloy including the CaP coating on AZ31 alloy. The microstructure of all coatings was characterized using an electron scanning microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). [..] Read more

Abstract: This poster focuses on the characterization of chloride migration from the environment into different types of concrete. Chloride diffusion into reinforced concrete plays an important role in the degradation of reinforced concrete structures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Corrosion behavior of ferritic-martensitic steel Eurofer in stagnant liquid PbLi was studied. Eurofer is under consideration to be the structural steel for fusion reactors. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effect of lignitic humic acid in 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7 on low carbon steel was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and immersion test. The morphology and elemental composition of the corrosion products were characterized using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. [..] Read more

Abstract: AZ31 magnesium alloy was subjected to corrosion tests in a 0.9% NaCl containing 0 to 5 g/L D-glucose at 37°C. Potentiodynamic measurements were performed in corrosive environments with natural pH and with the pH set to 7.4. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper present the issue of plasma treatment of the surface of polypropylene (PP) using AgO+CuO coatings in order to antimicrobial activity. The analyzed coatings were deposited using High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HPIMS). [..] Read more

Abstract: The materials’ resistance to brittle fracture is a very important parameter for the characterization of PVD coatings. The fracture toughness of solid materials is determined by the critical value of the stress concentration coefficient KIc [1,2]. [..] Read more

Abstract: Protection of the lead and lead-tin alloys stored in museum and archive depositories under adverse conditions (environment polluted by organic compound, mainly acetic acid) is based on the use of protective coatings (corrosion inhibitors, waxes and varnishes). The aim of this work was to test long-term stability and inhibition efficiency of mainly used protective coatings and final visual appearance of treated lead and lead-tin alloy surface.

Abstract: Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are currently used in many areas of the economy. Due to their unique properties, such as high hardness, low friction, and high wear resistance, are also used in industry, especially on machine parts exposed to increased wear. [..] Read more

Abstract: Micro-mechanisms are one of the main areas of development in manufacturing technology widely used in various production fields. Currently, new microelements are made of superalloys due to the high requirements of corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. [..] Read more

Abstract: Electrical discharge machining is one of the advanced processing technologies widely used to machine micro-hole. However, advances in materials engineering that lead to the production of new nickel-based superalloys require the development of new machining technologies. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main goal of the study was to determine the effect of local laser treatment on bending stresses under load. The simulation results show that the different locations and number of laser tracks (internal rigidity ribs) on the thin-sheet surface had a influence on the stress distribution under bending loads. [..] Read more

Abstract: Quinoline sulfonamide complexes with different metals represent a new class of materials of great interest especially for their fotoluminiscent and biological activity (mostly antibacterial and antifungal activity). The emphasis of this work was to synthesize, characterize through X-ray and determine the antibacterial and antifungal proprieties of newly materials for medicinal chemistry applications based on Quinoline Sulfonamide Complexes Metals (QSCM). [..] Read more

Abstract: It has been found in recent years that the conventional Manson-Coffin law tends to overestimate the fatigue life at high levels of plastic loading. Such reduction in fatigue life is associated with a fundamental change in the mechanism of damage accumulation. [..] Read more

Abstract: Titanium and titanium alloys have been widely used in medicine as implant materials for the last 50 years. The reason for this could be found in a unique combination of biocompatibility and strength of these alloys. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the last years, immiscible alloys have gained significant attention, mainly due to the use of their immiscible nature for the preparation of new advanced multiphase alloys. Most of these alloys are based on the Cu-Fe system. [..] Read more

Abstract: Compacting pressure applied during the SPS method varies in the literature. This study evaluates the influence of the applied compacting pressure on the microstructure and porosity of sintered materials. [..] Read more
