Comparison of properties and behaviour of selected systems of thin film - Substrate with TiSiN, AlCrN and AlTiN on samples and selected cutting tools
Mertová, Andrea ; Štěpánek, Ivo ; Šimečková, Lucie ; Dudáčková, Simona ; Ulrychová, Monika
The paper is devoted by evaluation of comparison of selected systems of thin film - basic material, which are optimized in the range of solution of the project with goal application of thin films on selected real cutting tools. There are evaluated thin films prepared by low voltage reactive arc evaporation in vacuum with different composition of ternary nitride. The evaluation of properties and behaviour is oriented on systems with thin films TiSiN, AlCrN and AlTiN. The surfaces of these systems of thin film - basic material are evaluated from point of view of verification homogeneity of thin films through of area of samples and through of geometry of selected real tools too. The distribution of thickness is evaluated by x-ray fluorescence analysis on samples and real selected places of geometry of tools too. The other comparison is realised from point of view of differences of mechanical properties and behaviour by using of indentation methods namely of nanoindentation and scratch indentation for evaluation of differences in hardness and adhesive cohesive behaviour of systems thin films - basic material.

Nanoindentation methods of evaluation of mechanical properties and behaviour and complex application for evaluation of technology and degradation
Štěpánek, Ivo ; Mertová, Andrea ; Šimečková, Lucie ; Štěpánová, Lucie ; Ulrychová, Monika
Nanoindentation methods used for evaluation surface layers are static indentation and scratch indentation too. Static indentation methods are used namely for evaluation hardness characteristics and for evaluation elastic deformation and plastic deformation of surface layers too based on measurement indentation curves - dependence depth indentation and normal force during all indentation process during loading and unloading. Cyclic and step by step indentation modes give possibilities to evaluate much more information about resistivity of surface layers to the indentation stress. Scratch indentation methods are used for evaluation namely adhesive cohesive properties and behaviour of surface layers with very small thickness or/and thin films with very low resistivity of thin films and low hardness. The surface layering is created by technology process of creation of thin films and surface treatment process or by initiation and evolution of degradation process and\nageing process. The initiation of degradation and ageing are evaluated in the starting stadium and in the next with step by step sensitive analysis of changing properties and behaviour. From this point of view static nanoindentation and scratch nanoindentation are very useful for analysis step by step changing of mechanical properties and behaviour with high sensitivity and depth resolution too. The paper presented utilization of nanoindentation static and scratch nanoindentation too for very different application in surface treatment but for evaluation of degradation and ageing process too.

Optimalization of evaluation of initiation of temperature ageing processes of selected cable isolation
Štěpánová, Lucie ; Štěpánek, Ivo ; Mertová, Andrea ; Šimečková, Lucie
The paper is devoted of verification of possibilities of evaluation of initial changing of properties and behaviour of selected polymeric isolation of cables after defined temperature loading simulated of external operational conditions and simulated temperature loading evoked by current loading. There are evaluated initial properties and behaviour of selected polymeric cable isolations and properties and behaviour after natural ageing process and controlled accelerated ageing process during higher temperature loading and different time of exposition to the higher temperature. The method of x-ray fluorescence analysis is used for evaluation of differences of changing of properties and behaviour of polymeric isolation cable materials after natural ageing process and after accelerated controlled ageing processes. There are verificated the possibilities for analysis differences in behaviour of polymeric insulation materials after different ageing process. The paper is namely devoted by verification of the possibilities analytic methods for evaluation initial of changing of properties and behaviour by nanoindentation methods for analysis very small differences in mechanical properties and behaviour of surface layers of polymeric materials used in the application isolation of cables. There are optimized the parameters of nanoindentation measurements for analysis of differences in hardness and elastic plastic behaviour.

Corrosion products phase identification using micro-Raman and FTIR
Majtás, Dušan ; Mácová, Petra
Phase identification of corroded metal objects might be problematic because corrosion products are usually a complex mixture of different phases. Furthermore, some of present phases may be either semi-crystalline or amorphous. The most suitable procedure is to use X-ray diffraction (XRD), for identification of crystalline phases in bulk, in combination with micro-Raman spectroscopy to obtain information on smaller scale and given location. Micro-Raman spectroscopy identifies crystalline and semi-crystalline phases. The literature also reports of the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to identify amorphous phases. In this work, the combined use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy is evaluated. The methods may be interchangeable to some point. But is it safe to assume that all phases present can be detected?
