The present work deals with the evaluation of properties of wear resistant thin TiAlSiN films deposited on cold work tool steels. Thin hard films, particularly transition metal nitrides are extensively used in industry for different kind of tools, moulds and various mechanical parts...

This thesis deals with the determination of empirical correlations between mechanical characteristics obtained using standard mechanical testing and miniature testing techniques. Miniature testing techniques enable to measure the characteristic mechanical properties of structure materials using a small amount&#...

The Dissertation Work is devoted to metallurgy-technological aspects of aluminium alloys joining with steel. The Work provides a comprehensive view of currently solved problem area to create those heterogeneous joints and puts it into connection with analysis of their characteristics. An ext...

This dissertation results from the modern trends observable not only in power engineering but in industry in general. One of these trends is, among others, efforts to make existing diagnostic methods more effective, or eventually discovering new processes, which could contribute to...

The increasing demands on material properties, lowering the mass of components, and lowering production costs are all strong drivers for the development of low-alloyed steels with high strength, which are low cost owing to their low content of alloying elements. Modern advanced low-allo...
