Structural analysis of austenitic weld joints
Procházka, Robert ; Foret, Rudolf (referee) ; Havlík, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with structural analysis of austenitic weld joints by using methods of material science. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the problematics of welding of high-alloy steels. After the general definition of welding and weldability of high-alloy steels, the thesis focuses on structural adjustments including welding defects during the welding process. Selected methods of fusion welding that were used to create these welds are mentioned in the second half of the theoretical part. The experimental part covers the structural analysis of the welds, which consists of microstructure evaluation, chemical composition analysis, and microhardness test.

Influence of the electron beam trajectory on the surface properties of steel 42CrMo4
Mikuš, Tomáš ; Kouřil, Miloslav (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
The thesis deals with surface quenching of steel 42CrMo4 by electron beam. Influence of technologic parameters and beam deflection on properties and structure of prepared layers is studied. Electron beam surface quenching was applicated with and without melting of the surface. Structures of layers made by electron beam quenching were compared with structures made by laser and electromagnetic induction. Structures and phases were analysed by optical microscopy, SEM and roentgen diffraction. Hardness was measured on hardened layers.

Structural stability heterogeneous weldment of carbon/austenitic steels
Havlík, Petr ; Stránský, Karel (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
Heterogeneous welded joints – type ferrite/austenite is inseparable part of structure for energy industry. Welding conditions and post weld heat treatment have a significant impact on the structural stability of welded joint. The structure determines resulting mechanical properties that determine lifetime of these joints. At the same time in microstructure changes in heat affected zone of the base material is diffusion of carbon through the weld interface. This work is focused on the analysis of structural stability of heterogeneous weld carbon/austenitic steel, which was formed carbon steel 22K (base material) and austenitic buttering layer EA 395/9 with a higher content of nickel. Evaluation of the structure was focused on the structure of weld metal (Böhler FOX SAS 2) and structure of the heat affected zone of base material. Metallographic evaluation was performed on the light microscope and scanning electron microscope equipped with the energy and wave dispersive analysis, which identified the contents of substitutional elements and carbon on the interface of carbon/austenitic steel. The results of metallographic analysis were compared with measurements of Vickers hardness and microhardness and calculations using Thermo-Calc software and software SVARY. The description and evaluation of the stability of the weld joints was determined by carbon content of the course interface using wave dispersive spectroscopy. The results of energy dispersive analysis were used to determine the type of carbides present at the interface of carbon/austenitic steel.

Structure and properties of weldment of rotor steels
Jech, David ; Jan,, Vít (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
The object of this thesis is to assess the structural stability of heterogeneous weld joint, which consists of two different base materials (16,537 steel and 16,236 steel) and weld metal NiCrMo2.5-IG with buttering layer P24-IG. All these materials belong to the group of low-alloyed creep-resistant steels that are to be used mainly in the power industry. The weld joint was made by application of the TIG hot wire welding method. Structural stability of this joint was evaluated by carbon redistribution and microstructural changes after annealing in temperature 300 °C and 400 °C during 500 hours. For modelling the phase composition of particular steels was used the ThermoCalc software. All gained results should be employed to appraise whether the heterogeneous weld joint of the steam turbine´s rotor is eligible for long-term operation in hard working conditions.

Structural Stability of Creep-Resistant Steels and their Weldmets
Šohaj, Pavel ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
The structural stability of creep-resistant steels P22, P91 and Eurofer´97 and structural stability of weld joint P22/P91 have been studied. The microstructural changes during annealing at temperatures of 500 – 900°C were examined. The state of equilibrium have been simulated using the ThermoCalc software. The computed results were compared with published data. A good agreement between the simulation and the published data was observed.

Structure and properties of welded joint TiAl6V4 / 6061 made by electron beam technology
Král, Michael ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
Titanium and aluminium alloys are among the most used construct materials due to their physical and mechanical properties except steels. The joining of these alloys can improve properties of whole construction but it is still difficult task. Especially welding of titanium and aluminium alloys is difficult cause formation of undesirable intermetalic phases in the weld. This thesis focuses on influences of electron beam welding parameters especially focusing and deflection of beam and preheating of base material to quality of heterogeneous join of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V and aluminium alloy EN AW-6061 – T651. There is described preparation of welded joins and brazed joins in the thesis, which are evaluated by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and EDS analysis of chemical composition. There was evaluated presence and chemical composition of formated intermetalic phases in the welded joins and quality and defects in the brazed joins.

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.

Influence of heat treatment on the microstructure of alloy TiAl6V4
Fišara, Šimon ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is to summarize influence of heat treatment on microstructures and mechanical properties of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. There are summarized basic facts about titanium and its alloys in the first section of theoretical part. The second section is focused on description of phase transformation, mechanical properties, microstructures and heat treatment of Ti6Al4V. There were made several types of heat treatment in the experimental part and after that there were made metallographic analysis and evaluation of microstructures.
