Najser, Tomáš ; Kosár, Petr (referee) ; Wasserbauer, Jaromír (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was the preparation and characterization of Ni-P coatings with different phosphorus contents on the substrate of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The theoretical part deals with magnesium alloys and specifies the utilized substrate AZ91. It also focuses on Ni-P coatings, their microstructure and their properties. However, there are also described factors affecting the rate of deposition and the resulting behavior of these coatings. Last but not least, the theoretical part summarizes the basic principles of laboratory methods used in the experimental part for observation and characterization of samples. Conclusion of the theoretical part consists of several background researches where the authors deal with similar problems and factors influencing the resulting behavior of Ni-P coatings. The experimental part is focused on the deposition of each Ni-P coatings on the AZ91 alloy and their characterization. The study of deposited Ni-P layers was focused on the determination of their microstructural texture by XRD method, mechanical properties and elemental composition depending on phosphorus content.

Rozum, Jakub ; Pokorný, Zdeněk (referee) ; Sedlák, Josef (advisor)
This thesis deals with study of surface layers of low-carbon steels formed by chemical-heat treatment. The first three chapters consist of theoretical part of the thesis, there are explained basic physical principles of these technologies and described individual types, the third chapter deals with the application of chemical-heat treated low-carbon steels in mechanical engineering. The experimental part of thesis deals with analysis of surface layers of two low-carbon steels formed using plasma nitrocarburizing and gas nitrocarburizing. The properties of these layers are evaluated based on the results of mechanical tests (hardness tests) and observation of microstructure. The thesis is completed by discussion, where the achieved results are evaluated.

Advanced Magnesium Alloys Surface Modification by Ni-P Based Coatings
Kosár, Petr ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Nový,, František (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The dissertation thesis deals with the modification of the surface of advanced magnesium alloys with Ni-P based coatings. At the beginning of the theoretical part, the structures of the used magnesium alloys and the influence of individual alloying elements on their properties are characterized. In the following part of the thesis the current knowledge in the field of electroless deposition on metal substrates is summarized. The theoretical part of the thesis is closed with contemporary research study in the field of clarification and determination of possible mechanism of electroless deposition. For the subsequent investigation of the mechanism of electroless deposition on magnesium alloys, it was necessary to characterize the microstructure and composition of individual magnesium alloys in the first phase of the experimental part. The exact composition of elements was determined using glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy with EDS was used for composition of phases of magnesium alloys. Using scanning electron microscopy and detailed elemental analysis of the coated magnesium substrate, it was found that for optimal Ni-P coating deposition on magnesium alloys, acid pickling prior coating is required in a mixture of acetic acid and sodium nitrate. Using the XPS method, it was found that the phosphorus atom in the sodium dihydride-diphosphate reducing agent has a + V charge. 4 At the end of the experimental part scanning electron microscopy and detailed elemental analyses were used for monitoring of the Ni-P particles nucleation and growth in the first 120 seconds of the coating process.

Fatigue behaviour of nickel-based superalloy IN738LC with AlSi coating at 800°C
Hlavnička, Radek ; Juliš, Martin (referee) ; Hutařová, Simona (advisor)
This work deals with influence of applied protective AlSi layer on low cycle fatigue behaviour of substrate from nickel base superalloy Inconel 738 LC. Protective layer is made by thermal spraying, plasma spraying followed by heat treatment. The emphasis is especially concentrated to the microstructure evaluation of the protect layer and basic material, in addition, measurement of layer thickness and the microhardness in as sprayed conditions and after heat treatment. The fatigue behaviour is assessed by fracture area observation and fatigue cracks evaluation after low cycle fatigue tests carried out at 800 °C.

Diffusion of carbon in welding joints of low alloys and high alloy steels.
Zdvořáček, Marek ; Rek, Antonín (referee) ; Stránský, Karel (advisor)
Content of a document result measurements and analysis carbon´s diffusion at welding joint created from hight alloyed austenitic steel CSN 417242 and not alloyed steel CSN 412 050. Samples have been put throught isothermal anneal in a temperature range 500 °C up to 1100°C. Aim one´s effort to metalographyic quantification carburized and uncarburized zone. The next part of the document content measuring x-ray energy through microanalysis, where has been record course of a carbon disintegration and selected replacements elements at whole length of the welding joint . At the end of experimental part has been gauged course microhardness HV 0,05 at whole lenght of welding joint, from an acquired data has been chose the most optimal temperature of isothermal anneal, to produce the smallest structural notch.

Weldability of steels for steam turbine parts
Jech, David ; Hutařová, Simona (referee) ; Juliš, Martin (advisor)
The aim of contemporary standard welding technologies is to create compact welds with high value of solidity and toughness in laboratorial and operational conditions. This welding technology is asserted in new creep - resisting steels on basis of steel CrMoV and CrMoNiV, which have high value of solidity and creep - resistance. The thesis deals with problems connected with the weldability of steels for steam turbine rotors and it´s aim is to interpret the structural and mechanical features of the weld joint for material combinations under consideration. For the assessment of weld joint features has been used measuring of micro hardness and hardness according to Vickers, microstructure was observed by methods of light microscopy.

Structure and mechanical properties of magnesium materials processed by HPT
Poloprudský, Jakub ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis is focused on processing of pure magnesium by high pressure torsion method (HPT). This process belongs to the group of intensive plastic deformation methods (SPD). SPD methods are in the centre of scientific interest for several decades. Theoretical part of this thesis puts an effort to summarize basic knowledge and principles of SPD methods with extra focus on method HPT. As theoretical part continues magnesium as technical material is presented. Influence of SPD on use and properties of pure magnesium is then presented. This trend is further developed in effort to describe the effect of individual HPT process variables on the properties of pure magnesium and its alloys. Focus of practical part of this thesis is in influence of number of revolutions. Samples were processed at 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 4 and 8 turns at room temperature. Speed of process was 1rpm and applied pressure was 6 GPa. The structure of commercially pure magnesium prepared by casting and moulding were observed with focus on differences caused by input material. The structure was observed by both light microscopy and back scattered electron diffraction (EBSD), focusing on structure development, grain size and grain orientation. Compared to other works on similar topic, the emphasis here is on observing the microhardness on the vertical edge of the sample. The hardness shows a steep increase right after 1/8 of a turn. With increasing number of turns gradual homogenization of microhardness is presented accompanied by slight decrease in microhardness. No trend in microhardness relative to the distance from anvil has occurred. Structure observed with EBSD shows a bimodal character with larger grains oriented in the same direction. The three-point bending test didn’t end up as expected, and the approach to evaluation of magnesium-based HPT needs to be re-evaluated for future work. A three-point bending test was designed for the initial assessment of the basic mechanical properties of the material.
