Properties of quasicrystal-reinforced high entropy alloys
Adami, Martin ; Tesař,, Tomáš (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the processing of the high-entropy alloys with the addition of quasicrystals by the spark plasma sintering method. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of quasicrystals content on the microstructure and wear resistance. The literature review part is divided into several section. The first part is an overview of high-entropy alloys and quasicrystals, including their properties and production methods. The next part pertains to spark plasma sintering and the wear phenomenon. In the experimental part, spark plasma sintering compacts were produced at 1100 °C and an analysis was performed using scanning electron microscope as well as X-ray diffraction and their tribological properties were measured by the pin-on-disc method. It was found that increasing the content of quasicrystals triggered an improvement in the compacts’ wear resistance.

High-alloyed cast irons Ni-resist and treir properties
Matulová, Anna ; Záděra, Antonín (referee) ; Kaňa, Václav (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with high-alloyed Ni-Resist cast irons and their properties. The theoretical part describes their chemical composition and individual elements from which are these cast irons composed, their characteristic properties and examples of use in practice. Furthermore, the work focuses on the wear of materials, especially on abrasive wear, because Ni-Resist casts iron exhibit a number of specific properties, such as corrosion resistance, refractoriness and heat resistance and also abrasion resistance, on which is this thesis focused. Attention is also paid to other abrasion resistant materials, because specimens from different materials are compared in the practical part in order to find a more suitable material for the production of plate castings into the shakeouts.
