Structure and Properties of Coatings Produced by PVD Technology
Doubrava, Marek ; Horynová, Miroslava (referee) ; Čelko, Ladislav (advisor)
The submitted work is focused on study of 3rd generation DLC films produced by Platit a.s. company. Thin films are deposited utilizing filtered cathodic vacuum arc process (FCVA). The main goal of thesis was to find out the influence on film properties, caused by change of the substrate holders with different heat dissipation. The change of the substrate holders is motivated purely by economical effort to increase productivity of the deposition process. Teoretical part of the thesis is about the principles of PVD deposition process, characterization of the thin films, DLC thin films and materials used for cutting tools. Experimental part includes description of devices used for specimens analyses, including also the description of measuring process and used conditions. Acquiered results, not only the thin film thickness, adhesion or amount of sp^3 bonds, match with expected results.

Corrosion degradation of magnesium alloys in SBF solutions
Ročňáková, Ivana ; Horynová, Miroslava (referee) ; Doležalová Weissmannová, Helena (advisor)
Nowadays, magnesium alloys are used in many sectors of human activity, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries, due to a combination of good mechanical properties and low density of magnesium. Recently, however, the attention is paid to the possibility of using magnesium alloys in the medical field, mainly due to the chemical properties of magnesium. The diploma thesis is focused on evaluating of the corrosion behavior of AZ31alloy and AZ61 alloys in SBF solutions that are solutions simulating body fluids. The alloys were subjected to immersion test in Hank’s solutions for time span from 24 to 1008 hours. The corrosion process was evaluated based on several factors: alloy composition, time and pH changes. The thesis also describes in detail the methodology for establishing magnesium and zinc by method of flame absorption spektrometry (F AAS). The determination of aluminum was carried out by atomic absorption spectrometry with electrothermal atomization (ET AAS).

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.

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.

Fabrication and characterisation of silver decorated TiO2 nanotubes for biomedical applications
Bílek, Ondřej ; Horynová, Miroslava (referee) ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (advisor)
This diploma thesis summarizes knowledge from the fields of synthesis, characterization and application of titanium dioxide nanotubes and its combination with silver nanoparticles for biomedical purposes. Basic protocols of working with cell cultures and bacteria are also included. Experimental part of this diploma thesis focuses mainly on the synthesis of tubular structures made of titanium dioxide via anodic oxidation of 500nm titanium layer and their subsequent decoration with silver by electrodeposition. Last section of the experimental part is devoted to testing of antibacterial properties of the new material and examining the effect of different silver concentrations on the adhesion of MG-63 cells. All results are compared to reference samples consisting of titanium dioxide nanotubes without silver.

Fatigue behaviour of AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloys after corrosion degradation
Horynová, Miroslava ; Vojtěch, Dalibor (referee) ; Obrtlík, Karel (referee) ; Podrábský, Tomáš (advisor)
Dissertation thesis is focused on evaluation of influence of exposure in 5% salt fog on fatigue behavior of AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloy fabricated by squeeze casting method. Microstructure and mechanical properties of experimental materials have been evaluated. The AZ61 alloy was solution heat treated after prior optimization of the heat treatment process based on microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties. Depths of corrosion damage, corrosion rate and mechanism of corrosion of all three experimental alloys have been evaluated. Influence of prior corrosion exposure for 480 and 1000 hours on fatigue behavior of experimental materials was evaluated. Obtained data were compared with data obtained using smooth test specimens. Fractographic analysis was carried out on both smooth and precorroded specimens. Furthermore, influence of aluminium on corrosion and fatigue behavior of tested alloys was defined.
