The Influence of the Geometry of Movement during the Friction Process on the Change in the Tribological Properties of 30CrNiMo8 Steel in Contact with a G40 Steel Ball.

Experiments with changes in motion geometry can provide valuable data for engineering and development purposes, allowing a better understanding of the influence of tribological factors on the performance and service life of joints. The presented subject article focused on the experimental investigation of the influence of the geometry of the movement of the friction process on the change in the tribological properties of 30CrNiMo8 steel. The friction process was carried out without the use of a lubricant in contact with a steel ball of G40 material with a diameter of 4.

Prewetting Electron Beam Irradiated and Native Sheep Wool Can Affect Their Sorptivity.

In this work, the effect of prewetting native and electron beam-modified wool on the resulting sorption of Cu(II) from wool solutions was studied. The following conditions and combinations were applied: 6 mM and 50 mM solutions, prewetting time 0-24 h, contact time 1-24 h. The sorption results showed that wetting the wool before sorption from the low concentrated solution can fundamentally improve the efficiency of the separation process.

Microstructural Changes and Determination of a Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) Diagram Using Dilatometric Analysis of M398 High-Alloy Tool Steel Produced by Microclean Powder Metallurgy.

The paper deals with the dilatometric study of high-alloy martensitic tool steel with the designation M398 (BÖHLER), which is produced by the powder metallurgy process. These materials are used to produce screws for injection molding machines in the plastic industry. Increasing the life cycle of these screws leads to significant economic savings.

DMA Analysis of Plasma Modified PVC Films and the Nature of Initiated Surface Changes.

The application of DCSBD (Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge) plasma is referred to as the surface modification/activation of materials. The exposure of material surfaces to DCSBD plasma is initiated by changes in their chemical composition, surface wettability and roughness. The given study presents the mentioned plasma application in the context of the modification of the material viscoelastic properties, namely the PVC polymer film.

Austenite Decomposition of a Lean Medium Mn Steel Suitable for Quenching and Partitioning Process: Comparison of CCT and DCCT Diagram and Their Microstructural Changes.

The present work deals with the dilatometric study of a hot-rolled 0.2C3Mn1.5Si lean medium Mn steel, mainly suitable for the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment in both hot-rolled or cold-rolled condition, subjected to a variation of austenitization temperature.

Fracture Analysis of High-Strength Screw for Highway Construction.

High-strength screws represent one of the main joining or fastening components which are commonly used in the process of installation of frame constructions for information boards or signposts, relating to the traffic roads. The control of the production process may not always be a sufficient method for ensuring road safety. The backward investigation and control of the screw material processing seems to be the one of the most important procedures when there is the occurrence of any failure during the operation of the screw.

Effect of Selected Cooling and Deformation Parameters on the Structure and Properties of AISI 4340 Steel.

The paper is focused on investigation of the high-strength AISI 4340 steel at various temperature and deformation conditions. The article is divided into two specific analyses. The first is to examine the dilatation behavior of the steel at eight different cooling rates, namely, 100, 10, 5, 1, 0.
