Morcinek, Tomáš ; Hasoňová, Michaela (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
The topic of this bachelor thesis is a process of preparation and characterization of bulk material from zinc and calcium powder mixture by hot pressing. Materials thus prepared were evaluated in terms of their microstructure and physical-mechanical properties.

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 of Mg-Ti based bulk materials via powder metallurgy
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.

Structure and mechanical properties of magnesium materials prepared by SPS
Pleskalová, Kateřina ; Hutařová, Simona (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the processing of the magnesium-based powder materials with the addition of zinc by the spark plasma sintering. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate influence of sintering parameters and zinc content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the material. First part of the thesis is literary research which is divided into two main chapters. The first chapter describes magnesium-based materials and mentions their use as biomaterials. The second chapter discusses powder metallurgy, specifically magnesium powders and spark plasma sintering. In the experimental part the powders were sintered at temperatures 300 °C and 400 °C and an analysis was performed using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, then also EDS analysis and hardness, microhardness and three-point bending tests were performed. An increase in hardness was observed with increasing zinc content and with increasing sintering temperature. The flexural strength was higher for materials sintered at a temperature of 400 ° C.

Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy of ternary Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloy compacts fabricated via SPS technology
Pavlík, Marek ; Spotz, Zdeněk (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with applicability of powder metalurgy for production of Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys. It is part of series of studies, inherently expanding experimental work with samples previously produced through optimized mechanical alloying and compaction via SPS method. In this work, the samples were thermally annealed and characterized by two advanced methods, DTA and RUS. Significant changes occur within the material at temperatures of 240 °C and 300 °C. The measurements indicated a presence of a martensitic transformation that could correspond to the desired SME phenomenon. Apparently, the changes were not triggered throughout the entire sample volume and further experimental progress is therefore expected in the near future.

Kotek, Jakub ; Hadzima, Branislav (referee) ; Fintová, Stanislava (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with evaluation of electrochemical corrosion characteristics of Mg-Zn systems prepared by powder metallurgy in SBF solution. The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the influence of chemical composition, achieved structure and parameters of the process of production of Mg-Zn systems on their electrochemical corrosion characteristics. The basic electrochemical properties of the prepared materials will be evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In order to clarify the mechanism of corrosion of materials, the immersion tests will be used, accompanied by metallographic observations.

Metal Matrix Composites Prepared by Powder Metallurgy Route
Moravčíková de Almeida Gouvea, Larissa ; Novák, Pavel (referee) ; Hadraba, Hynek (referee) ; Dlouhý, Ivo (advisor)
Vývoj nových materiálů pro součásti v moderních technologiích vystavené extrémním podmínkám má v současné době rostoucí význam. Děje se tak v důsledku neustále se zvyšujících požadavků průmyslových odvětví na lepší konstrukční vlastnosti nosných materiálů. Ve světle těchto faktů si tato studie klade za cíl posoudit nové složení slitin s vysokou entropií, které se vyznačují vysokým aplikačním potenciálem pro kritické aplikace. Slitiny jsou připravovány práškovou metalurgií, t.j. kombinací mechanického legování a slinování v pevné fázi. Pro účely srovnávaní vlastností jsou vybrané kompozice vyrobeny také tradičními metalurgickými metodami v roztaveném stavu, jako je vakuové indukční tavení a následné lití nebo vakuové obloukové tavení. Prášková metalurgie umožňuje postupný vývoj kompozitů s kovovou matricí (MMC) prostřednictvím přípravy oxidicky zpevněných HEA slitin. To je možné díky inherentním in-situ reakcím během procesu výroby. Když se naopak zvolí výrobní postup z taveniny, připravený kovový materiál vykazuje velké rozdíly v mikrostrukturách a souvisejících vlastnostech, v porovnání se stejným materiálem vyrobeným práškovou cestou (PM). Vyrobené práškové a tavené materiály jsou detailně charakterizovány s ohledem na komplexní vyhodnocení vlivu různých metod zpracování. Práce se zejména orientuje na mikrostrukturní charakteristiky materiálů a jejich mechanické vlastnosti, včetně vlivu tepelného zpracování na fázové transformaci a mikrostrukturní stabilitu připravených materiálů.
