Structure and properties of magnesium alloys Mg-Ca-Zn
Hlavnička, Jiří ; Pacal, Bohumil (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with design and preparation of a new biodegradable magnesium alloy based on Mg-Ca-Zn. Based on information from literature, the Mg-3Zn-2Ca alloy was designed. The base material was produced by gravity casting and the evaluation in the as-cast and heat treated state was performed. For preparation of the experimental material, following methods were designed: squeeze casting, hot rolling and the ECAP. During preparation by hot rolling, no optimal conditions were found and significant cracks occurred in both as-cast and heat treated material. In the case of experimental material, prepared by the ECAP method with back-pressure, better combination of stress-strain properties was observed. Also the squeeze casting method showed improvement; especially the amount of casting defects was eliminated. The evaluation of microstructure and mechanical properties was performed by the light and scanning electron microscopy, RTG phase analysis and the tensile and compression tests.

Provazníková, Andrea ; Liškutín, Petr (referee) ; Věchet, Stanislav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis includes photos and graphic representations of the influence of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ91. The structures of the alloy are recorded on the light microscopy pictures as well as photographs taken using a scanning microscope of fracture areas in the material. Results of a Tensile Test determining the strength and plastic properties and measuring of hardness and microhardness of the material are also included.

Evaluation of corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy AZ61
Hlavnička, Jiří ; Horynová, Miroslava (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
This work is foccused on assessment of corrosion resistivity and character of corrosion attack of AZ61 magnesium alloy. Squeeze casting specimens in both as-cast state and in solution annealing state were used as the experimental material. Corrosion degradation was performed in a salt spray fog (5% solution of sodium chloride). Mechanism of corrosion, appearance and depth of corrosion attack have been evaluated.

Modern trends of production Al-based castings
Kovář, Jan ; Kaňa, Václav (referee) ; Krutiš, Vladimír (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is a recherche discussing new methods of the production al-alloy castings, which are mainly developed for the needs of automotive and airspace industry. The described methods are semi-solid casting and metal-matrix composites as the approaches of slurry production and squeeze casting and V-process as the approaches of casting. Further are described SLS, SLM and MJF methods of rapid prototyping and the structure of SLMed AlSi9Cu3 alloy is observed.

Evaluation of electrochemical characteristics of AZ61 magnesium alloy processed by squeeze casting
Pikner, Jan ; Hadzima, Branislav (referee) ; Fintová, Stanislava (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with the characterization of electrochemical corrosion properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy prepared by squeeze casting method. The theoretical part of the work focuses on properties of AZ61 alloy, influence of alloying elements on magnesium alloys and corrosion. The practical part of the work deals with electrochemical characteristics of AZ61 alloy with different surface condition in of 0.1 M NaCl solution. Corrosion potential (Ekor) and corrosion current density (ikor) were determined by potentiodynamic test. Polarisation resistance was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Based on the measured results was discussed the influence of production, chemical composition, structure and surface treatment (grinding and polishing) on corrosion characteristics of the alloy.

Fatigue properties of magnesium alloy AZ31 after corrosion degradation
Horynová, Miroslava ; Lukáč, Pavel (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
The present study is focussed on assessment of cyclic deformation response and fatigue behaviour of bare and precorroded AZ31 magnesium alloys. Corrosion degradation was carried out in a salt spray fog (5% solution of sodium chloride) for 480 and 1000 hrs. Microstructure, mechanical properties, low- and high-cycle fatigue behaviour of experimental material in as-cast condition has been evaluated. Furthermore, the corrosion behaviour of material has been investigated. The fatigue tests have been performed using precorroded specimens to assess influence of corrosion degradation on cyclic deformation response and on low- and high-cycle fatigue behaviour. Influence of local corrosion degradation on initiation of fatigue cracks has been studied.

Fatigue properties of AZ61 magnesium alloy
Provazníková, Andrea ; Juliš, Martin (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
This master’s thesis is dealing with low-fatigue behavior of magnesium alloy AZ61, prepared via squeeze casting method. The main aim of this work was to obtain the basic mechanical properties as well as the low cycle fatigue data. Additional metallographical evaluation of microstructure and fractographical analysis after fatigue tests was made.
