Hydrogen-induced defects in titanium
Knapp, Jan ; Čížek, Jakub (advisor) ; Vlach, Martin (referee)
Titanium is a very important industrial material with quite a versatile use. This thesis examines the influence of hydrogen absorbed in metal lattice of titanium on defects inside the lattice. In this work titanium samples were loaded with hydrogen using two different methods: electrochemical charging, where titanium sample was immersed in solution of H3PO4 and glycerin as a cathode. The anode was be made of platinum and constant electrical current in order of miliampers was run throw the solution. The H+ cations went to the cathode and were neutralized to a hydrogen atom there. The hydrogen atoms subsequently penetrated into the titanium lattice by diffusion. Gas loading was used as the second method of hydrogen doping. Titanium samples were put into hydrogen atmosphere with defined pressure and kept at constant temperature. Hydrogen loaded samples were examined by positron lifetime spectroscopy which represents a non-destructive technique for studying defects in materials. Analysis of phase composition was performed by X- ray diffraction. Developments of mechanical properties of hydrogen loaded samples were monitored by Vickers micro-hardness testing. Differential Scanning calorimetry was employed for investigation of thermal stability of absorbed hydrogen.

Investigation of basic deformation mechanisms of magnesium alloys by means of advanced in-situ methods and theoretical modeling
Čapek, Jan ; Mathis, Kristián (advisor) ; Landa, Michal (referee) ; Šiška, Filip (referee)
The work is focused on developing testing methods for investigating of the deformation mechanisms of magnesium alloys. The work involves the measurement of in-situ acoustic emission and neutron diffraction and comparison to the theoretical models. Mg + 1wt.% Zr alloy was selected for investigation of the compression - tension asymmetry. Advanced analysis of acoustic emission and neutron diffraction data revealed activation of different slip systems during deformation. Moreover, the different evolution of twinning was explained. The same methods were used to investigate the aluminum influence on deformation mechanisms. The hardening of basal slip and twinning and increasing importance of prismatic slip was observed.

Nanoscale AFM and TEM observations of elementary dislocation mechanisms
Veselý, Jozef ; Cieslar, Miroslav (advisor) ; Dlouhý, Antonín (referee) ; Novák, Pavel (referee)
Single crystals of iron with 20, 28 and 40 at. % aluminium were deformed in compression at room temperature. The later two alloys were deformed also at temperatures in the range of yield stress anomaly. Room temperature deformation was carried under the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the evolution of surface was recorded in-situ. Samples deformed at elevated temperatures were investigated by AFM after the deformation. Dislocation structures in deformed samples were then investigated in transmission electron microscope (TEM). Observations of surface (AFM) and bulk (TEM) are compared. Results of both techniques mutually agree and support the interpretation of observed phenomena. Several original analysis methods were developed. Most notably the stereographic reconstruction, which was applied to dislocation structures and carbide particles present in investigated alloys. Model explaining the distribution of carbide particle axes is presented. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Book of Abstracts: 17th International Conference on the Strength of Materials
Dlouhý, Antonín ; Kunz, Ludvík
The Book of Abstracts covers twelve exciting scientific topics addressed by the International Conference on the Strength of Materials 17 (ICSMA 17). Eight excellent plenary speakers were selected based on the discussion and vote within the International Committee of ICSMA. The topics include not only traditional areas like cyclic or high temperature deformation and scale-bridging modeling but also still growing subjects of nano-micro scale experiments and the strength of biological systems. Moreover, the Local Organizing Committee, in cooperation with the Department of Materials Physics, Charles University in Prague, has decided to highlight the 80th anniversary of Prof. Pavel Lukáč, a brilliant international teacher and scientist. The thirteenth topic of the ICSMA 17 is thus dedicated to honour his contribution to materials research. Altogether, the Book presents 376 abstracts evenly distributed among the individual research areas that entered the scope of the conference.
