Modification of SPS quasicrystalline compacts via electron beam treatment
Poczklán, Ladislav ; Lukáč,, František (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
The quasicrystals are characterized by unusual rotational symmetries that are not observed in the crystalline materials, which is the cause of their interesting material properties. Because of that a particular attention was paid to quasicrystalline structures in the literature research. The research also contains a description of electron beam technology, spark plasma sintering method and introduction to the problematics of wear. As the default materials for the experimental part were selected Titanium Grade 2 powder and Cristome A5 powder which was partially composed of quasicrystalline phase. The first series of samples was sintered only from powder Cristome A5. The second series was sintered from the mixture of 80 % Titanium Grade 2 powder and 20 % Cristome A5 powder. For the compaction of samples spark plasma sintering technology was selected. Samples were then systematically modified by electron beam and subjected to pin on disc tests. Samples modified at 750 °C had the best wear resistance. Samples modified at 1150 °C contained increased amount of quasicrystalline phase.

Properties of quasicrystal-reinforced high entropy alloys
Adami, Martin ; Tesař,, Tomáš (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the processing of the high-entropy alloys with the addition of quasicrystals by the spark plasma sintering method. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of quasicrystals content on the microstructure and wear resistance. The literature review part is divided into several section. The first part is an overview of high-entropy alloys and quasicrystals, including their properties and production methods. The next part pertains to spark plasma sintering and the wear phenomenon. In the experimental part, spark plasma sintering compacts were produced at 1100 °C and an analysis was performed using scanning electron microscope as well as X-ray diffraction and their tribological properties were measured by the pin-on-disc method. It was found that increasing the content of quasicrystals triggered an improvement in the compacts’ wear resistance.

Microstructure and thermal stability of ultra fine grained Mg-Zn-Y alloys
Vlasák, Tomáš ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivan (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to investigate microstructure and thermal stability of ultra fine grained magnesium alloys. The thesis first summarises methods using plastic deformation in order to achieve ultra fine grained structure that are used to process metals. Then experimental methods employed in the experimental part including microhardness testing, scanning electron microscopy and positron annihilation spectroscopy are described. Brief summary of previous research on MgZnY alloys strengthened by quasicrystalline phases and Mg22Gd alloys is given. Finally, results of experimental investigation of MgZnY alloys with various Zn/Y ratios and Mg22Gd alloy are discussed. These results suggest that presence of phases in MgZnY alloys depend on Zn/Y ratio, hardness of these alloys depends on Zn content and that rapid cooling of MgZnY alloys annealed at 500 řC lead to significant increase in volume fraction of quasicrystalline icosahedral phase. In the second section of the experimental part thermal behaviour of Mg22Gd alloy is investigated. Furthermore, formation of GdH2 particles in Mg22Gd is examined and attributed to reaction of hydrogen decomposed from water vapour with gadolinium in areas rich in gadolinium. Finally, significant hardening of Mg22Gd alloy processed by high pressure torsion has been...

Study of thermal stability of Mg-alloys strengthened by quasicrystalline phase
Vlasák, Tomáš ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Procházka, Ivan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with thermal stability of icosahedral phase in Mg-Zn-Y alloys. To study this phenomenon, samples of Mg-3.5Y-35Zn alloy were prepared and equal channel angular pressing method (ECAP) performed at two different temperatures was used to refine their microstructure. Phases in the samples were characterised by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X- ray spectroscopy. Strengthening effect of icosahedral phase (I-phase) with quasicrystalline structure was examined by measuring Vickers hardness of the samples. Temperatures at which precipitation and dissolution of various phases occur were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Finally, defect recovery with increasing temperature was investigated by means of positron annihilation lifetime measurement. To identify chemical elements surrounding dislocations coincidence measurements of Doppler broadening of annihilation peak were conducted. Obtained results are as follows. Icosahedral dendritic structures are stable in Mg-3.5Y-35Zn alloy at temperatures up to 350 řC, at higher temperatures they are dissolved in the matrix. Recovery of dislocations takes place in the temperature range from 140 řC to 260 řC and leads to decrease in strength of the alloy processed by ECAP. Concentrations of zinc and yttrium are not enhanced...

Studium defektů v kvazikrystalech metodou pozitronové anihilační spektroskopie
Vlček, Marián ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Smola, Bohumil (referee)
In the present work positron lifetime spectroscopy and coincidence spectroscopy of Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation were employed for investigations of defects in Mg alloys with icosahedral phase. Samples of WE43 alloy and WE43 alloy modified by addition of zinc were investigated. Positron trapping at vacancy-like defects associated with interface between the icosahedral phase Mg3Zn6Y1 and Mg matrix was observed. Investigations of MgZnAl-based alloys were performed as well. Vacancy-like defects were not detected in MgZnAl- based alloys by positron lifetime spectroscopy. However, coincidence spectroscopy of Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation revealed that positron trapping in the vincinity of icosahedral Mg44Zn41Al15 phase occurs. Several hypotheses ex- plaining different nature of positron trapping in WE43-based and MgZnAl-based alloys were proposed. Keywords: quasicrystals; positron annihilation spectroscopy; positron trapping; open-volume defects
