Dynamic impact wear and impact resistance of W-B-C coatings
Daniel, Josef ; Grossman, Jan ; Buršíková, V. ; Zábranský, L. ; Souček, P. ; Mirzaei, S. ; Vašina, P.
Coated components used in industry are often exposed to repetitive dynamic impact load. The dynamic impact test is a suitable method for the study of thin protective coatings under such conditions. Aim of this paper is to describe the method of dynamic impact testing and the novel concepts of evaluation of the impact test results, such as the impact resistance and the impact deformation rate. All of the presented results were obtained by testing two W-B-C coatings with different C/W ratio. Different impact test results are discussed with respect to the coatings microstructure, the chemical and phase composition, and the mechanical properties. It is shown that coating adhesion to the HSS substrate played a crucial role in the coatings.

Recent Approaches to Brittle Fracture Characteristics of Steels
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Kozák, Vladislav ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Holzmann, Miloslav
A brief overview of the current approaches for evaluating selected brittle fracture properties of steels relating to fracture resistance of welded joints. A critical analysis of the existing solutions to a singleparameter description of a crack tip stress field, linear-elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Two-parameter fracture mechanics as the next development stage of fracture mechanics and impacts of its knowledge on fracture toughness measurement. Master curve for fracture toughness description of steels in the transition region. Local approach as the next fracture mechanics concept enabling prediction of global brittle fracture properties. Application of micromechanical crack tip fracture models (toughness scaling models) for correction of fracture mechanics data in their transfer from a specimen of one geometry to a specimen of another geometry and size (transferability). Evaluation of fracture properties of heterogeneous materials according to the SINTAP procedure.

The effect of surface hardening on fracture behaviour of steels for gear wheels
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Holzmann, Miloslav
Three procedures of surface hardening (carburising, nitriding and surface quenching) combined with six structural steels have been followed. The properties evaluation is based on assessment and interpretation of load - deflection traces, obtained by means of instrumented impact tester and/or at static testing of notched bend specimens. Knowledge obtained has been formulated into generalised schematics of fracture behaviour.
