The use of small punch tests for materials with a higher level of structural inhomogeneity
Gordiak, Michal ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Válka, Libor (advisor)
Master's thesis deals with evaluating applicability of correlation relationships between material characteristics determined by Small Punch Test and standard tensile test for material AlSi7Mg0,6 manufactured by casting and technology SLM. Results of Small Punch Tests are correlated with yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and Young's modulus of elasticity. For each material characteristic various correlation methods are compared, while for each method corresponding coefficients are determined. Consequently, the applicability of individual methods is evaluated by substituting coefficients determined by various studies. Primarily analyzed are correlation methods for which future normalization is expected. The results of master's thesis show that structural inhomogeneity caused by SLM process does not result in high inaccuracies in determining material characteristics. Larger impact on material characteristics has high porosity, which was identified in cast material and led to significant deviations in evaluating tensile strength and elongation.

The use of surface modification for enhancing mechanical properties of SLM bulk materials
Barinka, Michal ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Jan, Vít (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the surface modification of 3D printed metallic materials. The research part presents the most used methods of additive manufacturing and their process parameters influencing the quality of printed components. Defects arising during these processes and the techniques used to eliminate them are also described. In the experimental part of the work, the optimization of electrochemical polishing parameters was performed. The aim was to modify the rough surface of the components and thus prevent the formation of defects on the surface. The mechanical properties were investigated by means of three-point bending under static and dynamic loading. Fractographic analysis was performed on the quarry surfaces.

Properties of Inconel alloy coating on austenitic steel made by cold-spray technology after electron beam remelting
Chlupová, Monika ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on description of the properties of a layer of Inconel 718 applied on austenitic steel AISI 304 by the Cold Spray and subsequently remelted by electron beam. The first part presents the Cold Spray with its properties, advantages and disadvantages, and also describes the principle of electron beam remelting and other possible uses of electron beam, for example welding, drilling, heat treatment etc. The second part describes the material and the methods used for the preparation and evaluation of the samples. There are evaluated the porosity, microstructure and microhardness of the layers applied by the Cold Spray and these properties are further compared with the properties of the same layers remelted by electron beam. In conclusion, the results of the porosity of the layers applied by the Cold Spray are discussed with the literature and the results of electron beam remelting are only partially described here, because it was not possible to find literature about this topic. There are also suggestions for further research of the properties of this layers, which is necessary to know before implementing this method of producing layers for commercial production.

Effect of electron beam remeltin on binary mixtures deposited by the cold spray method
Novotný, David ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Čupera, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the effect of an electron beam remelting on binary mixtures of Fe-Al and Ni-Al, which were deposited by Cold spray. The Research study is focused on the basic principles of function and usage of the electron beam technology and the Cold spray method. Furthermore, binary systems of Fe-Al and Ni-Al are, along with their binary diagrams, also described in this part. In the Experimental part, the samples were remelted by an electron beam and consequently, the changes in microstucture were examined using electron and optical microscope.

Strucure and mechnical properties of cold sprayed Ti-6Al-4V layer
Sabela, Jakub ; Zelený, Martin (referee) ; Řehořek, Lukáš (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals in the first part with recent knowledge of cold spray, its mechanism and parameters of deposition, advanced coatings made by cold spray and their applications, knowledge of Ti-6Al-4V coatings and their heat treatment. Deposit of Ti- 6Al-4V powder was made by cold spray process. In experimental part, microstructure and mechanical properties of supplied and its heat treated material were observed and examined. Mechanical properties and microstructure remained unchanged by annealing at 600 °C as in the case of supplied material. Recrystallization occured in microstructure of and phases by annealing at 800 °C. Grains were emerged in microstructure and mechanical properties were decreased. Mechanical properties were improved by annealing at 900 °C due to quenching. Microstructure consists of and ’ phases. Mechanical properties were the worst for annealed material at 1000 °C because of coarsed grains. Material which was annealed at 800 °C, quenched and precipitation hardened had the best microstructure and mechanical properties.

The influence of conditioning on the mechanical properties of polymers produced by injection molding technology
Neužil, Tomáš ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Válka, Libor (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to determine change of mechanical properties of three types of damp polymeric materials (polyamides) depending on the water content inside material. Before testing, specimens of all three types of materials were placed inside the air conditioning chambers until equilibrium (conditioned) state was reached when the specimens received the maximum possible amount of water from the environment. A total of three conditioning levels were set, representing besides the standard level of conditioning both extreme states like state when the material was fully dried and the state where the material content the largest possible amount of water. With the increasing content of water bound in material, there is a characteristic change in the mechanical properties of the material, such as a decrease in strength and modulus of elasticity and an increase in toughness and ductility. To examine material properties change, tensile and Charpy impact tests were performed, Charpy impact tests were performed for both specimens with and without a notch. Besides changes in mechanical properties, the rate of water absorption was also observed depending on the materials and its filling.
