This study presents the development of an eco-efficient laboratory-scale production route for longsteel products, focusing on sustainable casting and hot deformation processes. Conventionalcasting using 80x80 mm molds and gravity filling generated significant shrinkage defects, leadingto scrap generation, repeated melting, and reduced material effi...

To analyze the co-combustion process of coal and biomass in a steam boiler furnace originally designed for pulverized coal combustion, it is crucial first to investigate the dynamic behavior of particles within the aero-mixture channels. Due to differences in material properties and particle size distributions, the behavior of coal and biomass part...

Modern steel production cannot be imagined without manganese, because almost all steels contain manganese.In this paper, we present the impact of manganese on the tensile strength values of high-carbon steel. This paper presents an improvement in the quality of wire rolling with control of manganese content in steel and the value of C-equivalent, i...

Shape memory alloys are of great commercial importance from biomedical applications to smart materials. The electrochemical behavior of Cu-Al-Zn alloy in phosphate buffer without and in the presence of amino acid was investigated. Electrochemical researches were performed in a traditional three-electrode system by means of the Tafel extrapolation m...

The translational symmetry of the distribution of atoms (ions) of the charge carriers (electrons or holes) system is broken by sputtering (doping) due to the existence of two boundary surfaces. This is a model of high-temperature superconductors in which the observed symmetry breaking orthogonal to the CuO plane is treated as a perturbation. Single...

Steel 17-7PH is austenitic-martensitic steel with high strength, hardness, and resistance to creep, and corrosion. It is designed for aerospace components, but can also be used for other applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance, as well as leaf springs for operation at temperatures up to 316 °C. It can be used in a solut...

This study investigated the mechanical properties of a series of Fe-Cr-Mn (Mo)-N alloys. The chromium content ranged from 16 to 18 mass %. The test alloys were produced by adding nitrided ferroalloys during melting in an induction furnace. Test specimens of each alloy were prepared for mechanical testing and microstructural observation. Tensile str...

Metallic materials in granular packings show different electrical properties from their bulk counterparts. In this paper, we investigate the temporal evolution of the electrical conductivity of granular metals. We use metallic beads arranged in different one-, two- and three-dimensional ensembles through which different constant currents are inject...
