Structure and mechanical properties of thin wall nodular iron castings
Chýlková, Adéla ; Mores, Antonín (referee) ; Roučka, Jaromír (advisor)
The purpose of this final thesis is experimental verification of the influence of graphitic inoculants containing different amounts of trace elements on the structure, mechanical properties and internal homogeneity of thin-walled ductile iron casting. This thesis describes the issue with casting of thin-walled ductile iron. Two melts of thin-walled test plates with thickenesses of 3-, 5- and 8 mm were done in experimental part. A total of six types of inoculations with different content of trace elements were tested. Subsequently, an X-ray irradiation analysis was performed on the samples and hardness, tensile strength and ductility were evaluated. Futhermore, the amount of graphite in structure, graphite shape, graphite size, nodularity, graphite nodule count and volume phases of ferrite and perlite in matrix were analysed in thin-walled ductile cast iron by computer-based image analyzer. Finally, the measurement data were processed into tables and charts and conclusions were formulated. An X-ray analysis proved, that all thin-walled test plates containned shrinkage porosity. Furthemore it was confirmed, that content of manganese in inoculant increases tensile strength and hardness. Also content of zirconium in inoculant increases graphite nodule count.

Introduction of special die lubricant - micro spraying into the conditions of high pressure die foundry
Šromota, Michal ; Roučka, Jaromír (referee) ; Krutiš, Vladimír (advisor)
The master thesis, consisting of a theoretical and practical part, focuses on the issue of high pressure die casting, specifically the treatment of the die using micro spray technology. The goal of the thesis was to map the processes that need to be changed in the high pressure die casting foundry in order to successfully implement the use of micro-spraying. The practical part describes the introduction of micro spray technology in the foundry KOVOLIT Modřice a.s. In this case a transition from the conventional spraying method to the micro-spraying is made. After testing, both stable production and the expected savings associated with the operation of micro-spraying were achieved on the selected casting, and therefore it was decided to convert the production of the selected casting to this technology.

Production of thinwall iron castings
Kryštůfek, Tomáš ; Kaňa, Václav (referee) ; Roučka, Jaromír (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on production and problems in production of thin-walled ductile iron castings, especially in the inoculation process. The focus is on the influence of elements on the structure and mechanical properties of ductile iron and as well as the influence of some elements, that are commonly used in inoculation alloys. Furthermore, the factors that affect the production technology are written, i.e., solidification rate, wall thickness, cooling rate, and factors used for affecting the thin-walled castings production, i.e., the use of insulating moulding compounds and increasing the graphite nodule count. At the end of the theoretical part, important production processes are analysed, namely inoculation and spheroidization. The experimental part is focused on influencing the structure and mechanical properties using several types of inoculants of different chemical compositions, whereas the tested thicknesses of the test plates are 3-, 5- and 8-mm. Hardness, tensile strength and ductility are evaluated on these plates. Finally, the volume of ferrite in the structure, shape and size of the graphite nodules were examined.

Manufacturing of aluminium alloy castings in sand mould
Exner, Zbyněk ; Roučka, Jaromír (referee) ; Záděra, Antonín (advisor)
The thesis theoretically deals with research activities in the field of molding mixtures, description and division of aluminum alloys for castings. Furthermore, the thesis presents the process of production of the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine Jawa 50, from the design of a 3D model and its production by 3D printing to its casting from aluminum alloy EN AC-46000. Molds from bentonite, self-hardening and oil-bentonite molding mixtures were used to cast the test casting. To complement the experiment, the casting was also made using the lost-wax casting method. For the production of wax models, it was necessary to make a mother mold. Subsequently, two different ceramic shells were made. The first one was designed to cast only one casting, the second one, with a different orientation of the models to the inlet, allowing to cast two pieces of castings at once.

The influence of cast iron inoculation with bizmut containing inoculant on structure and mechanical properties
Nyékyová, Dominika ; Navrátil, František (referee) ; Roučka, Jaromír (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the modification and inoculation of cast iron with spheroidal graphite, the influence of the chemical composition on the shape and size of the graphite nodules and ferrite/perlite ratio in the structure. The aim of the practical part was to determine the effect of inoculant containing bismuth (SMW 605) on microstructure and mechanical properties of ferritic ductile cast iron GJS 400-15. The dissolving time of mold inoculant was further investigated. The samples were subjected to a tensile test, Charpy impact test, hardness test and graphite morphology and ferrite/perlite examination using standard ČSN EN ISO 945-1.

Proposal of casting technology for cooper alloy castnig with regard to their quality and productivity of fininishing oprations
Herzán, Jiří ; Lána, Ivo (referee) ; Roučka, Jaromír (advisor)
This paper is created based on the real situation in Armatmetal s.r.o. Based on customer requirements and possible reduction of finishing operations at the end of production in the foundry. The foundry technology of gravity casting into sand molds is changed to gravity casting into metal mold. To change technology at Armatmetal s.r.o. two types of castings were selected. The "Kloub 55 s vidlicí" casting was selected by the customer to test the new technology. Casting "Klínová koncovka KN10" was chosen by Armatmetal s.r.o. because of the structural design of the casting and the high repeatability of production. Castings are the subject of the paper. The diploma thesis includes methods of solving the elimination of foundry defects occurring on a complicated casting " Kloub 55 s vidlicí". The main aim of the thesis is to assess the technical-economic contribution of the change of foundry technology of the casting " Klínová koncovka KN10". The paper also includes a complex comparison of the current and new technology production with related problems and their solutions.

Filipek, Szymon ; Hrouzek, Petr (referee) ; Roučka, Jaromír (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was to assess the degree of conformity between the mechanical properties evaluated by numerical simulation in software MAGMA5 and the measured values of hardness and ultimate tensile strength of lamellar graphite iron castings. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the classification of cast iron, structural components of lamellar graphite iron, and the factors defining the resulting mechanical properties of the material. The practical part presents an attempt to find empirical dependencies between input parameters and results evaluated by simulation software. At the end, an analysis of the correlation between reality and simulation software is performed.
