Mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ91E prepared by ECAP method
Darida, Jiří ; Válka, Libor (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
This thesis deals with mechanical and fatigue properties of magnesium alloy AZ91 processed by EX-ECAP method. This method involves the application of extrusion followed by equal-channel angular pressing. To obtain basic mechanical characteristics, the tensile test were carried out at room and elevated temperatures. Further the fatigue tests were performed and obtained data were used to compile S-N curve. The work also includes metallographics analysis of microstructure and fractographic analysis of fracture surfaces of tensile and fatigue test specimens.

Structure and mechanical properties of magnesium materials processed by HPT
Poloprudský, Jakub ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Doležal, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis is focused on processing of pure magnesium by high pressure torsion method (HPT). This process belongs to the group of intensive plastic deformation methods (SPD). SPD methods are in the centre of scientific interest for several decades. Theoretical part of this thesis puts an effort to summarize basic knowledge and principles of SPD methods with extra focus on method HPT. As theoretical part continues magnesium as technical material is presented. Influence of SPD on use and properties of pure magnesium is then presented. This trend is further developed in effort to describe the effect of individual HPT process variables on the properties of pure magnesium and its alloys. Focus of practical part of this thesis is in influence of number of revolutions. Samples were processed at 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 4 and 8 turns at room temperature. Speed of process was 1rpm and applied pressure was 6 GPa. The structure of commercially pure magnesium prepared by casting and moulding were observed with focus on differences caused by input material. The structure was observed by both light microscopy and back scattered electron diffraction (EBSD), focusing on structure development, grain size and grain orientation. Compared to other works on similar topic, the emphasis here is on observing the microhardness on the vertical edge of the sample. The hardness shows a steep increase right after 1/8 of a turn. With increasing number of turns gradual homogenization of microhardness is presented accompanied by slight decrease in microhardness. No trend in microhardness relative to the distance from anvil has occurred. Structure observed with EBSD shows a bimodal character with larger grains oriented in the same direction. The three-point bending test didn’t end up as expected, and the approach to evaluation of magnesium-based HPT needs to be re-evaluated for future work. A three-point bending test was designed for the initial assessment of the basic mechanical properties of the material.

Study of ultrafine-grained materials prepared with different methods of severe plastic deformation
Krajňák, Tomáš ; Mathis, Kristián (advisor) ; Hadzima, Branislav (referee) ; Kalvoda, Ladislav (referee)
Title: Study of ultrafine-grained materials prepared with different methods of severe plastic deformation Author: RNDr. Tomáš Krajňák Department: Department of Physics of Materials, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Supervisor: Doc. RNDr. Kristián Máthis, PhD., Department of Physics of Materials, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague Abstract: Interstitial free steel with ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure was prepared by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The development of the microstructure as a function of the number of HPT turns was studied at the centre, half-radius and periphery of the HPT-processed disks by X-ray line profile analysis (XLPA), positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and electron microscopy. The dislocation densities and the dislocation cell sizes determined by XLPA were found to be in good agreement with those obtained by PAS. The evolution of the dislocation density, the dislocation cell and grain sizes, the vacancy cluster size, as well as the high-angle grain boundary (HAGB) fraction was determined as a function of the equivalent strain. It was found that first the dislocation density saturated, then the dislocation cell size reached its minimum value and finally the grain size got saturated. For very high strains after the...

Mechanical and physical properties of magnesium alloys prepared by rotary swaging
Škraban, Tomáš ; Drozd, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Mathis, Kristián (referee)
in english For their positive influence on mechanical and physical properties of the material, methods of severe plastic deformation are popular for quite some time today. Rotary swaging is one of them. With its simplicity and productivity, it has the potential for industrial use. It is a radial swaging of rods or tubes, which results in decreasing of their diameter. Influence of this method is researched on extruded rods made of magnesium alloy AZ31. Experiments are made on five samples of different degree of swaging (different diameter). This allows to research gradual evolution of properties during the swaging. Results show significant positive influence on grain size (and microstructure in general) of originally extruded rod. During swaging there is an evolution of material texture and increase in strength.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys prepared by severe plastic deformation
Bajer, Jan ; Cieslar, Miroslav (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee)
New technologies of components assembling in car and aircraft industries and requests on improved mechanical and corrosion properties of metallic materials in the packing industry activate the utilization of highly innovative and unconventional manufacturing processes. There are only a limited number of processing, that retain the original material thickness and in an appropriate manner modify material properties. These are different types of annealing, severe plastic deformation methods or combination of both. In recent years constrained groove pressing (CGP) was devoloped with this method the grain size can be reduced from tens of micrometers to sub-micrometers. The present work is focused on a study of evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of two alloys based on EN AW 3003 after CGP deformation and subsequent annealing.
