Measurement of the corrosion of the public lighting
Jalový, Michal ; TSB,, Josef Šaroun, provozně-technický ředitel (referee) ; Krutílek, David (advisor)
This thesis describes corrosion degradation processes taking place on the surface of metal materials in different environments. The theoretical part deals with basic environments we encounter in practice. This part specifies protection of materials against the aggressive environments and provides principles of corrosion measurement. It analyses the issue of corrosion measurement and its impact on mechanical strength of structures. It deals with the application of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method for measurement of public lighting corrosion and identification of potential breakdown.

Preparation and characterization of highly hydrophobic coatings on AZ 91 magnesium alloy
Šomanová, Pavlína ; Hasoňová, Michaela (referee) ; Doskočil, Leoš (advisor)
Magnesium and its alloys have many interesting properties and thanks to them it can be used in many applications (transport industry, medicine etc.). Disadvantage of these materials is their high corrosion rate. For this reason, there is an effort to achieve high corrosion resistance through different modifications of magnesium and its alloys. In recent years the superhydrophobization of the surface seem to be an attractive solution for this question. This type surface modification minimalize contact between the surface and water. In this diploma thesis the superhydrophobic surface was created on the magnesium alloy AZ91. The first step included pretreatment of AZ91 surface by etching in solution of SnCl2 or ZnCl2. Next step was superhydrophobization in the ethanolic solution of stearic acid. The surface morphology and elemental analysis of the superhydrophobic coating were explored by use of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The adhesion properties of the coating on the AZ91 were analysed by means of scratching test. Contact and sliding angles were measured for superhydrophobic coatings. Electrochemical characterization of the coatings was determined using potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Finally, the analysis of composition and the functional groups was made using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the phase composition analysis was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the coatings prepared by etching did not lead to good corrosion properties, even though the value of contact angle was about 150 °. The reduction of corrosion resistance could be caused by not obtaining required surface morphology or insufficient binding of stearic acid in the form of stearate to the sample surface.

Determination durability of modular panel elements in different exposures
Škvařil, Michael ; Žák, Antonín (referee) ; Vaněrek, Jan (advisor)
Within the theoretical part of the diploma thesis, a list of the main types of accelerated tests designed for the resistance of metal and polymer surface finishes. In the experimental part of diploma thesis, the rate of biological resistance of wood-based board materials is evaluated. Furthermore, the resistance of coating systems is assessed by means of accelerated tests. Resistance of modular building shells is primarily focused on degradation of coatings applied primarily on metal materials and wood materials. The tested coating systems analyze the influence of the materials and chemical base on the final weather resistance.

Use of acoustic emission technology to assess corrosion of materials
Procházka, Adam ; Vašíková, Simona (referee) ; Binar, Tomáš (advisor)
The thesis deals with the description of acoustic emission as a non-destructive testing method and its use in the detection of material corrosion. The first part describes the theoretical principles dealing with the explanation of what acoustic emission is, how it is defined according to the standard, what are the types of acoustic emission and how it is tested. It then discusses corrosion, the types of corrosive environments where corrosion occurs and the types of corrosion tests. It also describes where acoustic emission has been used in practice and what experiments it has been used for in terms of material monitoring. The next part of the paper describes the experiment of acoustic emission measurement on grey cast iron samples, describes the fabrication of the samples, the use of corrosion protectors, and the placement of the samples in a condensation chamber for continuous testing. The last part is the evaluation of the results .

Nonisometric pigments in coating for the corrosion protection of metals
Tamchynová, P. ; Kalendová, A. ; Štengl, Václav ; Kváča, Zdeněk
The paper deals with various types of nonisometric pigments and the effect therof on the protection coating materials properties. New type of lamellar pigments is the surface treated mica-muscovite, which forms the proper core or the layer carrier. At the carrier surface a layer of ferric oxide-hematite is formed. The contribution of these lamellar pigments is evaluated from the adhesion-barrier efficiency point of view or, maybe, the anticorrosion efficiency thereof in coating materials.
