The Structure and Properties of Austenitic Steel Prepared by the Cold Spray Method and Selected Laser Melting Technology
Osička, Filip ; Šmíd, Miroslav (referee) ; Hutařová, Simona (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the comparison of two different technologies, specifically Cold Spray (CS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM), and their effects on the properties of austenitic unstabilized stainless steel AISI 304L. The difference between these technologies is determined by the difference in their physical principles and thus their different practical applications. The theoretical part of the thesis describes in detail the principles of CS and SLM technologies applied to stainless steel. The experimental part describes the procedures for evaluating samples that were created using CS and SLM technologies, with each sample being produced under different process parameters. The analysis included not only the samples prepared by these methods but also the input material in its original state. The microstructure of the produced materials was extensively examined under a light and scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, porosity, microhardness, and flexural strength were determined. The results of the individual measurements are compared and subsequently discussed in the context of the available scientific literature.

Surface treatments in mechanical engineering
Čudová, Monika ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (referee) ; Žák, Ladislav (advisor)
The project was developed within the bachelor study presents experimental verification of two given varnishes. They are applied on a specially made plate. It was based on literary studies of corrosion coatings issues - coatings and practical tests. The samples were painted and tested according to the standards. The samples were tested on adhesion of varnishes, bending test and salt stray test. Finally all tests were evaluated.

Influence of glass fiber degradation on the mechanical response of a polymer composite
Součková, Lenka ; Knob, Antonín (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
The bachelor thesis studies the effect of fiber degradation with commercial sizing on the flexural properties of polymer composite based on unsaturated polyester resin reinforced with long unidirectionally oriented glass fibers. Fibres of age 23, 61, 67, 112 and 135 months were used to prepare a series of composite samples. The mechanical properties of a composite containing 40.5% % vol of fiber were determined using a three-point bending test defined by ASTM D790-17 standard. From the obtained data, the flexural strength, the flexural modulus and the flexural strain were evaluated. It has been found that the degradation of the fibers and their sizing leads to a reduction in flexural strength. This was due to the reduction of adhesion between the fibers and the matrix, thus also the quality of the interface, which caused insufficient stress transfer from the matrix to the fibre. The resulting difference in strength of composites with fibers aged 23 and 135 months was 0,19 GPa with respect to the origin value of 1,17 GPa. The obtained values were used to assess the correlation between the flexural strength of the composite and the shear strength. Pearson's correlation coefficient set at 0,71 corresponds to a strong correlation. The effect of fiber degradation on the flexural modulus has not been demonstrated.

Application of functional fillers in composites: Effects of fillers content on the mechanical properties
Krhut, Jiří ; Petruš, Josef (referee) ; Poláček, Petr (advisor)
This work deals with the application of selected types of fillers and monitoring their addition to the specific properties of the resulting composite material. The theoretical part of this work includes a general description of composite materials, and selected types of matrices, followed by a brief description of the characteristics of particulate composites and the effect of fillers on selected material properties. In the experimental part, samples of polyester resin were prepared to contain the given content of filler based on aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)3), expanded glass, hollow glass microspheres, and fillers based on nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. Subsequently, the influence of the used fillers on the rheological properties, flammability of the material, on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was monitored. Flame test methods, bending test methods and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were used to evaluate the samples. Finally, the measurement was supplemented by an analysis of fracture surfaces using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The addition of additives improved the fire resistance of the prepared materials. The mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the prepared materials differed significantly depending on the applied fillers and their content.
