Preparation of Mg-Al-Ti bulk materials via powder metallurgy
Brescher, Roman ; Doskočil, Leoš (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with research and preparation of bulk materials based on the Mg–Al–Ti system. The theoretical part summarizes the basic knowledge about magnesium alloys, focusing mainly on Mg–Al and Mg–Ti systems. Furthermore, basic information on powder metallurgy methods was included here, from the production of powder materials, through their compaction, to heat treatment and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The theoretical part ends with literature review on the current research of the Mg–Al–Ti system. In the experimental part, bulk materials based on the Mg–Al–Ti system was prepared using traditional methods of powder metallurgy, as well as using the SPS method. The microstructure of the material, elemental and phase composition was examined in this thesis. Subsequently, Vickers hardness and flexural strength were measured, and fractographic observation of the fracture surface was performed. It was found that the aluminum was completely dissolved during the heat treatment, but the titanium particles remained almost intact in the material and worked as a particulate reinforcement. Materials prepared by methods of conventional powder metallurgy showed increased porosity compared to materials prepared by the SPS, resulting in lower hardness and flexural strength. The hardness increased with increasing the amount of aluminum and titanium and with the amount of magnesium phase . Fractographic observation of the fracture surface suggests that a diffuse connection between the reinforcement and the matrix may have occurred after the sintering process.

Žilinský, Martin ; Wasserbauer, Jaromír (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is preparation and characterization of bulk Mg–Ti based materials. In the first theoretical part properties of base materials and the complexity of preparation alloy from these metals is discussed. Second part is focused on powder metallurgy and its applicability on Mg–Ti system. In another part particle composites are described. In chapter current research another possible methods of alloy preparation from magnesium and titanium are mentioned. The experimental part of this thesis was the preparation of bulk Mg–Ti materials from metal powders. For sample preparation conventional methods of powder metallurgy and spark plasma sintering was employed. Furthermore a characterisation of these materials was done. Microstructure was observed. Present phases were found using X-ray diffraction analysis. Amounts of these phases were determined using a scanning electron microscope with energy–dispersive spectrometry and using X-ray fluorescence. Furthermore hardness was measured and bending test with evaluation was done. Significant difference in results of sample preparation using conventional methods of powder metallurgy and spark plasma sintering was observed.

Preparation of Mg-Al based bulk materials via powder metallurgy
Jakůbek, Zdeněk ; Fintová, Stanislava (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on preparation of Mg-Al based bulk materials via powder metallurgy. The bulk materials were prepared by cold pressing, cold pressing followed by sintering, cold pressing followed by sintering and artificial aging, SPS (spark plasma sintering), SPS followed by solution annealing, SPS followed by solution annealing and artificial aging. The prepared materials were characterized in terms of microstructure and physical and mechanical properties. The properties of the prepared materials differed depending on the method of preparation and Al content. All materials after heat treatment were consisted of solid solution (Mg), intermetallic phase Mg17Al12 and MgO. The composition of the materials depended on Al content. Sintering by the SPS method resulted in material with better mechanical properties compared to materials whose first step of preparation was cold pressing.

Preparation and Characterization of Porous Magnesium Based Materials
Březina, Matěj ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Vojtěch, Dalibor (referee) ; Ptáček, Petr (advisor)
Bulk magnesium materials produced nowadays via powder metallurgy are based on a vastly extensive technological spectrum, which makes it possible to create a wide range of materials. This work focuses on the preparation of bulk materials from magnesium powder by cold pressing and hot pressing, sintering and field assisted sintering. The bulk materials were prepared in a series of compacting pressures from 100 MPa to 500 MPa and the sintering temperatures were selected in the range of 300 ° C to 600 ° C in order to characterize the influence of the manufacturing conditions and technology on the final properties of bulk materials. Prepared materials were evaluated in terms of microstructure, hardness, microhardness, three-point bend test, and fractography. From the hot pressed materials, the samples prepared at 400 and 500 MPa and 400 °C had the highest strength and hardness. The classic sintering of magnesium in the furnace with argon atmosphere proved to be ineffective due to the oxide layer on the surface and the presence of oxygen in technical argon. The SPS sintering (Spark Plasma Sintering) was the more effective with the lower applying pressure used to make the preforms and with the higher applied pressure during the SPS process itself. Highest strength and hardness were achieved in this case of materials sintered at 600 ° C prepared from free powder and the most porous preform (100 MPa). The bulk materials were prepared using all methods used, but the properties of these materials varied considerably depending on the technology used.

Preparation and properties of porous magnesium material
Ďubašák, Matej ; Kosár, Petr (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
Magnesium is a lightweight metal suitable for various technical and biomedical applications due to its great strength-weight ratio and biocompatibility. The powder metallurgy (PM) of magnesium presents a modern method of porous magnesium processing, in which are reached specific mechanical properties influenced by high purity, material structure and controlled porosity during this process. This thesis deals with preparation and characterization of porous magnesium material which is prepared from a magnesium powder containing a particles with average size of 50 µm. The preparation process consists of powder pressing and sintering of green compacts. The properties of porous magnesium prepared by PM method depend on conditions of every individual process. The compaction pressure and sintering temperature were altered to optimize a preparation proces. There were examined mechanical properties (3 point bending, hardness) and optical properties (fractography and metallography). Obtained properties of porous magnesium prepared by PM were compared with technical literature.
