The dissolution of carbides during the heating to the quenching temperature has a significant effect on the martensite oversaturation and the resulting mechanical properties. The kinetics of dissolution can be influenced by various external factors. This work deals with monitoring the carbide dissolution utilizing dilatometer analysis. The austenitization of 100CrMnSi6-4 bearing steel in two initial states was compared-after accelerated spheroidization annealing and conventional soft annealing. The main objective was to determine the amount of undissolved cementite during austenitization in the temperature range where only austenite and cementite are present in the structure. The austenitization temperature determines the degree of cementite dissolution and, consequently, the carbon content in austenite and thus the final properties after quenching. The cementite dissolution was quantified from dilatometric curves and image analysis.

The paper presents the results of experimental and numerical tests on barrel vaults with backfill material. The thickness, internal span, and rise of the vaults were 125 mm, 2000 mm, and 730 mm, respectively. In experimental studies, vaults with backfill of expanded clay aggregate or granite aggregate were tested.

According to the mechanical characteristics of joints in steel-concrete composite bridge decks under the combined bending and shear, improved joint details with simple structure and convenient construction were studied, including lapped U-bars, lapped headed bars, and lapped hook bars. In order to test the mechanical properties of the three joint details and compare them with the existing lapped/welded linear bars, the tests of five specimens were carried out. The cracking load, ultimate load, failure mode, crack pattern, and reinforcement strain were analyzed.

The modern metallurgical industry produces approximately 90% of the volume of all produced steel; for this, integrated technology based on fossil materials such as coal, fluxes, and especially iron ore is used. This industry generates large amounts of waste and by-products at almost all stages of production. Alternative iron and steel production technologies based on iron ore, methane, or pure hydrogen are also not waste-free.

The article provides information about strengthening cold-formed thin-walled steel beams made of the sigma profile. An innovative concept for sectional transverse strengthening of thin-walled beams subjected to concentrated forces was investigated. The proposed solution's novelty lies in attaching the sectional transverse strengthening to the beam's cross-section, employing a point crimping technique.
