Modification of alloys, in particular, by calcium and barium, is one of the promising directions for obtaining alloys with a fine crystalline structure. Complex ferroalloys – ferroalumosilicocalcium and ferrosilicobarium – were developed in the Chemical and Metallurgical Institute after Zh. Abishev. It was shown, that modification of steel by silicon-aluminum complex alloys containing chemically active elements – calcium and barium, should become one of the most effective methods to improve the quality of machine-building metal products.The chemical compositions of the smelted ferroaluminosiliconcalcium and ferrosilicobarium presented. The melting range of the nonmetallic compound formed during the deoxidation of steel by complex alloy containing calcium determined. Results of mechanical tests of the specimens of steel, modified by a complex alloy containing barium considered. A comparison of microstructure of the current production route steel and deoxidized with the complex alloys was carried out.In the course of metallographic studies of experimental steel specimens, a modifying influence on the morphology of nonmetallic inclusions by calcium and barium, supplied in a complex with aluminum and silicon alloys, was established.Metal processing by complex alloys such as ferrosilicoaluminum with calcium (FASC) and ferrosilicobarium (FSAB) indicates the possibility of achieving a higher degree of refining from oxide nonmetallic inclusions and a more even distribution of them in the ingot.The results of the industrial heats also indicated a possibility of improving of quality of casting through the decreasing of hot thermal cracks and gas-shrinkage defects, cleaner grain boundaries, a significant reduction in the number and size of carbide inclusions.

The paper studies the microstructure, presence and qualitative composition of nonmetallic inclusions, mechanical tests of industrial smelting of high-strength shipbuilding steel with calcium concentration in the bucket sample of 0.009% have been performed. Steel with a high concentration of calcium is contaminated with a variety of stitch oxide inclusions, and therefore the mechanical properties of the rolled product are sharply reduced (impact strength, ductility in the Z-direction, fracture quality of technological samples). It is shown that the upper permissible limit of calcium content in steel is within the range 0.004–0.009%, but it is necessary to clarify it performing additional research. To ensure high purity of high-strength shipbuilding steel for non-metallic inclusions, it is vital to observe a strictly regulated technology of aluminum deoxidation and modification by ferrocalcium with obtaining the content of these elements in the metal in the previously recommended limits 0.01–0.02 and 0.002–0.004% respectively.

Aluminium and its alloys have been widely used in the automotive industry for some time and A356 is one of the most popular aluminium alloys today in the sector. It contains approximately 7 wt.% Si and 0.3 wt.% Mg. Due to the defects that may be present in the cast parts, expected mechanical properties may not be reached and this alloy may perform in service under its potential. In a low pressure die casting, several precautions have to be taken in order to produce high quality and defect-free castings. Temperature of casting and the schemical composition of the melt is recorded continuously. Die temperature, pressure levels and their durations are optimized; degassing and fluxing operations are performed. Yet, regardless of the precautions, there could still be rejected parts. It is becoming clear that a good quality raw material is one of the most underrated points of the industry and that the starting material has a great effect on the final product and it should be taken in to account more seriously. Therefore, regarding the first rule of Campbell’s 10 Rules of Casting, in this study, the quality of the starting material of supply chains for a wheel manufacturer was investigated. Chemical compositions were compared, fluidity tests, mechanical tests and bifilm indexes of these various sources and ingots were measured and a final quality index was proposed to create a reference for the quantification of quality of supplier’s ingots. This new index was compared with the rejection rates.

A nanocrystalline Co-Cr-Ni-Fe compositional complex alloy (CCA) film with a thickness of about 1 micron was produced by a multiple-beam-sputtering physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique. The main advantage of this novel method is that it does not require alloy targets, but rather uses commercially pure metal sources. Another benefit of the application of this technique is that it produces compositional gradient samples on a disk surface with a wide range of elemental concentrations, enabling combinatorial analysis of CCA films. In this study, the variation of the phase composition, the microstructure (crystallite size and defect density), and the mechanical performance (hardness and elastic modulus) as a function of the chemical composition was studied in a combinatorial Co-Cr-Ni-Fe thin film sample that was produced on a surface of a disk with a diameter of about 10 cm. The spatial variation of the crystallite size and the density of lattice defects (e.g., dislocations and twin faults) were investigated by X-ray diffraction line profile analysis performed on the patterns taken by synchrotron radiation. The hardness and the elastic modulus were measured by the nanoindentation technique. It was found that a single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc) structure was formed for a wide range of chemical compositions. The microstructure was nanocrystalline with a crystallite size of 10–27 nm and contained a high lattice defect density. The hardness and the elastic modulus values measured for very different compositions were in the ranges of 8.4–11.8 and 182–239 GPa, respectively.

The reliability of ultrasonic testing (UT) of the quality of welded joints of polyethylene pipelines, made end-to-end with a heated tool, is considered in comparison with mechanical tests and radiography. The greatest detection of solid defects is provided by ultrasonic inspection with the use of chord tipe probes (not less than 90 %). When detecting defects translucent for ultrasound (lack of penetration, lack of fusion, etc.), the reliability decreases to 70÷80 %. Keywords: welding, polyethylene pipeline, quality control, ultrasonic testing, chord tipe probe. [email protected]

The aim of this research study was to evaluate the influence of utilising natural polymers as a form of soil stabilization, in order to assess their potential for use in building applications. Mixtures were stabilized with a natural polymer (alginate) and reinforced with wool fibres in order to improve the overall compressive and flexural strength of a series of composite materials. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and mechanical strength testing techniques were then used to measure the porous properties of the manufactured natural polymer-soil composites, which were formed into earth blocks. Mechanical tests were carried out for three different clays which showed that the polymer increased the mechanical resistance of the samples to varying degrees, depending on the plasticity index of each soil. Variation in soil grain size distributions and Atterberg limits were assessed and chemical compositions were studied and compared. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) techniques were all used in conjunction with qualitative identification of the aggregates. Ultrasonic wave propagation was found to be a useful technique for assisting in the determination of soil shrinkage characteristics and fibre-soil adherence capacity and UPV results correlated well with the measured mechanical properties.

Prospects for the further development of the oil and gas industry are mainly associated with the development and commissioning of high-rate fields. In this regard, the production of more economical and durable equipment by machine-building enterprises, an increase in the level of its reliability and competitiveness, as well as further improvement of technological production processes, is of paramount importance. The evolution of technology in a broad sense is a representation of changes in designs, manufacturing technology, their direction and patterns. In this case, a certain state of any class of TC is considered as a result of long-term changes in its previous state; transition from existing and applied in practice vehicles to new models that differ from previous designs. These transitions, as a rule, are associated with the improvement of any performance criteria or quality indicators of the vehicle and are progressive in nature. The work is devoted to the study of the evolution of the quality of high-pressure valves during the period of their intensive development. Keywords: technical system, evolution of technology, high-pressure valves, shut-off devices, gate.
