Evaluation of corrosion properties of biodegradable ZE41 magnesium alloy in simulated body fluid
Handlíř, Tadeáš ; Minda, Jozef (referee) ; Tkacz, Jakub (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the evaluation of the effect of processing of biodegradable magnesium alloy ZE41 on its corrosion properties. The corrosion properties of ZE41 wrought magnesium alloy specimens with polished and ground surface were evaluated based on the results of the electrochemical characteristics that took place in the simulated body fluid. Short-term tests were performed using linear polarization method, by which the corrosion potential, corrosion current density and corrosion rate was determined. Long-term evolution of corrosion behavior in terms of polarization resistance was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) during 168 hours. Also, the corrosion products were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the results, the influence of surface treatment and phase composition on corrosion characteristics was evaluated.

Corrosion products phase identification using micro-Raman and FTIR
Majtás, Dušan ; Mácová, Petra
Phase identification of corroded metal objects might be problematic because corrosion products are usually a complex mixture of different phases. Furthermore, some of present phases may be either semi-crystalline or amorphous. The most suitable procedure is to use X-ray diffraction (XRD), for identification of crystalline phases in bulk, in combination with micro-Raman spectroscopy to obtain information on smaller scale and given location. Micro-Raman spectroscopy identifies crystalline and semi-crystalline phases. The literature also reports of the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to identify amorphous phases. In this work, the combined use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy is evaluated. The methods may be interchangeable to some point. But is it safe to assume that all phases present can be detected?

Surface cleaning of archaeological objects by plasma generated in water solutions
Tihonová, Jitka ; Grossmannová, Hana (referee) ; Krčma, František (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the plasma surface treatment of historical ceramics by low temperature electrical discharges in water solution. Four samples were chosen - two of the Lusatian Urnfields Culture and two of Anabaptist Faience. The treatment was done at minimum power of the power supply. Stainless steel electrode and a specially designed electrode system with wolfram wire in the quartz glass capillary were used for generation of discharge using an audio frequency power supply. Elemental analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was done before and after the treatment and values were compared with the elemental analysis of material’s core. Samples of the Lusatian Urnfields Culture were successfully treated without any surface damage. The first one of samples of Anabaptist Faience was damaged. The experiment was repeated on the glass to determine the cause. It was find out that damage was probably caused by thermal stress. The second one of Anabaptist Faience was already treated without damage. Next research will be focused on determining specific conditions of the power supply, modification of water solution and modification of sample’s surface for the most efficient ancient ceramics cleaning.

Magnesium alloys designed for medical applications
Zemková, Mária ; Minárik, Peter (advisor) ; Vojtěch, Dalibor (referee)
Title: Magnesium alloys designed for medical applications Author: Mária Zemková Abstract: This Master thesis is focused on the influence of hot extrusion and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of magnesium alloys. Investigated materials include three magnesium alloys with the addition of neodymium and/or yttrium elements - N3, W3 and WN43, as a potential material for medical applications. Moreover, the influence of alloying elements in solid solution state was studied. Microstructure development was characterized by scanning electron microscopy together with transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties was studied by compression deformation tests in two perpendicular directions and by microhardness tests. The linear polarization method was used to study corrosion resistance. The processing though ECAP resulted in grain refinement in all three alloys. Ultra-fine grained microstructure was achieved in W3 and WN43 alloy. The high degree of recrystallization during ECAP caused the formation of high-angle grain boundaries in all three alloys. Weak texture evolution was maintained during both processings. A different initial fraction of intermetallic phases before extrusion led to significant changes of microstructure...

Honč, Jiří ; Minda, Jozef (referee) ; Tkacz, Jakub (advisor)
This thesis deals with evaluation of corrosion properties of biodegradable magnesium alloy ZE41. Corrosion characteristics of ZE41 wrought magnesium alloy specimens with polished and grinded surface were examined by electrochemical methods. 0,1M NaCl solution was used as corrosive environment. Short-term tests were performed using linear polarization method, by which the corrosion potential, corrosion current density and corrosion rate was determined. Long-term evolution of corrosion behavior in terms of polarization resistance was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) during 168 hours. Also, the corrosion products were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Based on the results, the influence of phase composition and surface treatment on corrosion characteristics was discussed.
