Phase transformation in magnesium MgZnAl-based alloys
Kodetová, Veronika ; Vlach, Martin (advisor) ; Mathis, Kristián (referee)
In the present work, there was analyzed thermal evolution of the phase transformation in the MgZnAl and MgZnAlCa alloys with different concentration of the Zn and Ca. The grains were occupied by the phase with quasicrystaline icosaedral structure in the as-cast alloys and after isochronal annealing up to 240 řC. The thermal measurements revealed two exothermic effects in the MgZnAl alloy and three exothermic effects in the MgZnAlCa alloy during linear heat treatment in the temperature range of 100 - 250 řC. In agreement to the thermal response, two and three stages of electrical resistivity decrease were observed in the same temperature range. The lower thermal changes, absolute resistivity changes and microhardness were observed in the alloy with Ca-addition and lower concentration of Zn.

Precipitation processes in light hardenable alloys and the possibilities for integrating thermal analysis into physics education on high school
Kodetová, Veronika ; Vlach, Martin (advisor) ; Černošková, Eva (referee) ; Svoboda, Pavel (referee)
The doctoral thesis is divided into two parts - Thermal analysis in physics education on high school and Material research of Al-Zn-Mg(-Cu-Sc-Zr) alloys. Within the first part, the areas of crystallization and/or melting of selected foods were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. A practical lesson for high school physics has been created and tested. The study text focused mainly on differential scanning calorimetry and its use was made. In the second part of the doctoral thesis, there was analysed thermal evolution of the phase transformation in the Al- Zn-Mg(-Cu) alloys with Sc and Zr addition. The effect of (cold and hot) deformation on the decomposition sequences was studied. The hardening effect after annealing above 300 řC in the Sc and Zr alloys is caused by the precipitation of the secondary Al3Sc,Zr) particles. These particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy after annealing up to 360 řC in all studied AlZnMg(Cu)ScZr alloys. In the AlZnMgCu alloy the partial recrystallization was observed after annealing at 350 řC/10 hours and after annealing at 450 řC/10 hours the grain size was 50-200 m (depending on the treatment of the alloy). The addition of Sc, Zr in the AlZnMgCuScZr stabilizes grains and there is no recrystallization in the AlZnMgCuScZr alloy at temperature...

Influence of minor solutes on thermal properties of MgYNd-based alloys
Kodetová, Veronika ; Vlach, Martin (advisor) ; Kekule, Tomáš (referee)
The development of magnesium alloys has the growing trend and leads mainly to the transport industry and modern medicine. The use of the alloying elements, especially rare- earth elements, is a way to improve the material utility. In the present work, there was studied thermal evolution of the phase transformations in the MgYNd alloys containing additional elements by differential scanning calorimetry. The thermal responses at different heating rates were observed and the activation energies of the processes were calculated. On the basis of confrontation with literature the precipitation and dissolution of stable, metastable phases were assigned to the observed processes. The thermal response corresponding to the precipitation of the stable β phase was observed in all materials. The activation energies of the stable β phase precipitation are practically identical for all materials investigated.
