Since the high strength steels are typically used in automotive industry, the corrosion resistance represents a very important property of these materials. In recent years there is a tendency of replacing silicon with aluminium and increasing&#...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the analysis of non-conductive samples became one of the most important methods for the investigation of material properties. In this work, we used SEM microstructure analysis for the investigation of the origin of cracks in granite composites and&#...

In the 21st century, numerical analysis is a standard tool used in research and development of technological processes. Numerical modelling must be used to describe the behaviour of different materials during the forming process. With the help of mathematical modelling, the real process...

Press-hardening is a highly dynamic process that involves rapid temperature changes. These process aspects play a major role in microstructural evolution and mechanical properties. In order to develop any thermomechanical processing sequence, including press-hardening, one needs materials models of th...

Low alloyed TRIP (Transformation induced plasticity) steels are typically used for an automotive application and the final products are processed mainly from thin sheets. Most of the researches pay attention to optimisation of dedicated heat or thermo-mechanical treatment of the product, usi...

Practically, the ground condition usually consists of several layers, which have various properties from each other so it’s important to have precise understanding about these layers and their behaviours. For this purpose, two different soil layers in biaxial test was analysed. In the&#...
