Biodegradable bones implants based on iron
Hrabovský, Jan ; Zatloukal, Miroslav (referee) ; Sedlaříková, Marie (advisor)
This work deals with a current topic, which are biodegradable bone implants. These implants seem to be a suitable candidate for temporary fixations, with their gradual decomposition. An important parameter is not only the mechanical properties so that the material can withstand the load, but above all the corrosion properties and the degradation process. This work introduces the physiology of bone, trace elements and also describes current trends in the field of implants. The last part is a theoretical introduction to cross-stage processes. The practical part is focused on the preparation of iron-based samples with various dopants, subsequent annealing and analysis.

Evaluation of the use of cold kinetic deposition technology on materials used in electrical engineering
Šteiniger, Jakub ; Zimáková, Jana (referee) ; Binar, Tomáš (advisor)
The master´s thesis deals with a process called cold kinetic deposition technology. Using this technology, a copper layer was formed on a sample with an aluminium base by high-pressure cold spraying at a pressure of 25 bar. In the experimental part, the influence of corrosion degradation in the salt chamber was assessed at the time cycles of 100 h, 200 h and 300h, where changes in internal and surface resistances before and after corrosion were measured. Subsequently, the analysis of corrosion products was performed, where the extent of corrosion attack was determined using an electron microscope. These methods led to a final evaluation of the boundary limits of the applied coating layer by cold kinetic deposition, after the effect of corrosion. Finally, a theoretical application of this technology was suggested. It was discovered that the sample placed and left in the corrosion chamber for the longest time was the most affected by corrosion. Finally, a theoretical application of cold kinetic deposition was proposed.

Effect of aluminum content and precipitation on the corrosion behavior and acoustic emission response of AZ31 and AZ80 magnesium alloys
Veverková, E. ; Knapek, Michal ; Minárik, P.
In this study, we investigated the effect of aluminum content and precipitation on the corrosion behavior of the AZ31 and AZ80 magnesium alloys. The investigated alloys were received in the as-extruded condition in order to retain comparable grain size and texture. First, solid solution treatment was performed on the samples of both alloys. Subsequently, the samples were isothermally aged at 200 degrees C for 20 hours. The scanning electron microscopy was used to study the grain size and microstructure. The corrosion properties of samples were studied by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and the AE signal was concurrently recorded. Solution treated AZ80 and AZ31 samples exhibited similar behavior. The aged AZ80 sample showed lower corrosion rate. Also, a strong breakdown appeared in the later (compared to other samples) stage of the potentiodynamic test. The breakdown was found to be easily recognized by AE parameters.

Oxidation properties of complex concentrated alloys
Veverková, Eliška ; Minárik, Peter (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee)
The thesis is focused on the oxidation characteristics of two complex con- centrated alloys - FeAlCrMo and FeAlCrV. Potentiodynamic polarisation tests were performed in order to characterize corrosion behavior of the alloys in two different corrosion media (aqueous solution of 3,5% NaCl and 0,5M H2SO4), in addition, high-temperature oxidation resistance was studied. All tests were perfor- med also for stainless steel used as a benchmark. An excellent corrosion resistance of both alloys was discovered, especially in the acidic solution, the studied alloys even surpassed reference stainless steel. On the contrary, poor resistance to high- temperature oxidation was observed. Particularly FeAlCrV exhibited catastrophic properties and resistance of FeAlCrMo is also inferior to stainless steel.

Monitoring of corrosion of refractory lining
Taraba, Vojtěch ; Ptáček, Petr (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on the monitoring of corrosion of refractory lining in the cement rotary kiln, chemical and mineralogical changes of the refractory and their influence on the lining properties. Magnesia-spinel refractories located in the lower transition zone are analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy.

Effect of humic acid on the corrosion of carbon steel
Horák, Tomáš ; Buchtík, Martin (referee) ; Doskočil, Leoš (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with influence of humic acids on corrosion of ČSN 12020 steel. For this purpose, potentiodynamic tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in leaches of humic acids, isolated from South Moravian lignite were executed. Results suggest that corrosion is initially promoted by humic acids, but after a longer time (about 98 hours) an inhibitory effect is exerted due to the adsorption of humic acids on the corrosion products. Adsorption efficiency of humic acids on surface of corrosion products was about 30 %. Results also suggest that the presence of humic acids may influence the composition of corrosion products of the steel.

Optical evaluation of corrosion products using colorimetric spectroscopy
Majtás, Dušan ; Fialová, P.
Aim of this work is to test possibility to utilize colorimetric spectroscopy for monitoring the corrosion of lead and tin-lead alloys. And furthermore method suitability for preliminary corrosion evaluation of cultural heritage objects. According to literature colorimetry is used to monitor patinas of bronze objects, thus the method might be also suitable for lead based alloys. Samples used were made from commercially produced lead plate. These were exposed in the climatic chamber to different relative humidity (60, 80, 90 %). After the exposure the corrosion products with different color formed on sample surface. These corrosion products were evaluated by different methods: optical microscopy, colorimetric spectroscopy, and X-ray chemical analysis. Collected colorimetric data display difference between treatments suitable for patina evolution monitoring. The paper presents obtained results and comparison of applied methods.

Corrosion resistance of cast duplex stainless steels
Müller, Peter ; Záděra, Antonín (referee) ; Pernica, Vítězslav (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with corrosion resistance of cast duplex steels. In the first part the corrosion mechanisms and their individual types are described, the second part characterizes the types of stainless steels in terms of their properties, use, structural components, and their impact on mechanical and corrosion properties of steels. Individual chapter is dedicated to duplex steels. In the experimental part the resistance of 1.4517 steel against pitting corrosion depending on the alloy contents and the PREN value was investigated. Four specimens graded according to PREN were cast. Supplemented with sample stirrer blade which was affected by corrosion during service they were subjected to corrosion test according to ASTM G48-11 standard in 6% FeCl3 solution. Cast specimens were subjected to tensile test and impact test.

Thermal spray by electric arc
Eliáš, Vojtěch ; Sigmund, Marian (referee) ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the issue of thermal spraying by means of an electric arc. First of all, a theoretical part is processed using a literary study dealing with corrosion and thermal spraying technology. The experimental part contains a description of the technological procedure and evaluation of four thermally sprayed samples. Zinacor 850, consisting of 85% zinc and 15% aluminum, was used as a coating. The evaluation involves measurements of thickness, adhesion and roughness as well as the macro-structural analysis of the coating. Two samples showed unusually low adhesion, and all samples also had a large fluctuation of the measured thicknesses. This was also confirmed by the macro-structural analysis, which showed that the sample with low adhesion also had high porosity. These defects may have multiple causes, but the recommendation for further practice is to reduce the spraying distance from the base material.
