Today, in Ukraine, fire-fighting and rescue units in the event of fires and emergencies of a natural and anthropo-genic nature are often forced to operate emergency life-saving tools and equipment that are partially worn or outdated. It is extremely costly to completely replace the equipment of all fire and rescue units. Therefore, the development of methods for the restoration of worn or partially worn parts of fire and rescue equipment, as well as increasing their service life and interrepair interval, is an urgent task for today.The proposed work is devoted to the application of eutectic coatings based on the Fe-Mn-C-B-Si alloy Cr system for the restoration of partially wornout steel parts of firefighting equipment and rescue equipment, as well as to increase the service life (lifetime) of these parts. The essence of the experimental study was to compare the wear of the cutting elements of hydraulic emergency rescue scissors "Hydrum H-32" series production and scissors with a protective eutectic coating. The work life of the eutectic coatings of Fe-Mn-C-B-Si doped Cr working bodies of emergency rescue scissors in 1.8 times greater than that of working bodies of serial production, so it is advisable to repair such worn parts of the rescue and fire tool. Due to the relatively low cost of eutectic alloys based on iron, this method is economically viable as an alternative to replacing parts with new ones. This type of coating can also be applied to other steel parts of fire-fighting and rescue equipment to restore worn parts and increase service life and overhaul intervals. The use of durable eutectic iron based coatings is economically feasible given their relatively low cost.

Results of analytical researches of power parameters of cold rolling of thin and average steel strips with a back tension are presented. Considerable decrease in average relative tension on a surface of contact with rolling rolls upon transition is established from two-zonal to one-zonal rolling of lag. It allows to increase service life of rolling rolls.

The high cost of development and raw materials have been obstacles to the widespread use of titanium alloys. In the present study, the high-throughput experimental method of diffusion couple combined with CALPHAD calculation was used to design and prepare the low-cost and high-strength Ti-Al-Cr system titanium alloy. The results showed that ultra-fine α phase was obtained in Ti-6Al-10.9Cr alloy designed through the pseudo-spinodal mechanism, and it has a high yield strength of 1437 ± 7 MPa. Furthermore, application of the 3D strength model of Ti-6Al-xCr alloy showed that the strength of the alloy depended on the volume fraction and thickness of the α phase. The large number of α/β interfaces produced by ultra-fine α phase greatly improved the strength of the alloy but limited its ductility. Thus, we have demonstrated that the pseudo-spinodal mechanism combined with high-throughput diffusion couple technology and CALPHAD was an efficient method to design low-cost and high-strength titanium alloys.

A method for optimizing chemical composition of steel is proposed and a correlation is established to reduce cardinally alloy elements in existing steel grades that results in high compressive residual stresses at the surface of intensively quenched steel parts and increasing strength and ductility of material due to super- strengthening phenomenon. The algorithm of optimization consists in reducing alloy elements in existing alloy steel in 1.5 – 2 times and then lowering step-by-step content of steel, beginning from the most costly alloy element and ending the most cheaper one, until established correlation is satisfied. The range of reduction is minimal and during computer calculations can be chosen as 0,001wt%. The proposed approach can save alloy elements, energy, increase service life of machine components and improve environmental condition. The method is a basis for development of the new low hardenability (LH) and optimal hardenability (OH) steels.

Zur Steigerung der Lagerlebensdauer von Hybridwälzlagern hat das Fraunhofer Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT gemeinsam mit Cerobear GmbH, Hegenscheidt-MFD (A Member of the NSH-Group) und Schmitz-Metallographie GmbH an der Qualifizierung und Implementierung des Verfahrens Hartwalzen in die Prozesskette zur Herstellung von Hybridwälzlagern gearbeitet. Durch die Induzierung von Druckeigenspannungen in die Lagerlauffläche konnte die Lebensdauer nachweislich erhöht werden. Die Arbeiten wurden im Rahmen des geförderten Forschungsvorhabens „Hartwalzen von Lagerringen“ durchgeführt, das aus Mitteln des europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE) gefördert wurde.   To increase the service life of hybrid rolling bearings, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT together with Cerobear GmbH, Hegenscheidt-MFD (A Member of the NSH Group) and Schmitz-Metallographie GmbH successfully qualified and implemented the hard rolling process in the process chain for manufacturing hybrid rolling bearings. By inducing residual compressive stresses in the bearing running surface, the service life has been demonstrably increased. The work was carried out as part of the funded research project „Hard Rolling of Bearing Rings“, which was supported by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE).

Abstract PTA welding is applied to deposit Ni-based and Co-based materials on the key parts in petroleum and chemical industry, for the purpose of surface modification. The test shows that this process is played an important role in upgrading the materials performance of anti-wear, anti-corrosion and high temperature resistance, prolonging service life, saving expensive materials and reducing production cost.

Abstract Background Severe anemia is common and frequently fatal for hospitalized patients in limited-resource settings. Lack of access to low-cost, accurate, and rapid diagnosis of anemia impedes the delivery of life-saving care and appropriate use of the limited blood supply. The WHO Haemoglobin Colour Scale (HCS) is a simple low-cost test but frequently inaccurate. AnemoCheck-LRS (limited-resource settings) is a rapid, inexpensive, color-based point-of-care (POC) test optimized to diagnose severe anemia. Methods Deidentified whole blood samples were diluted with plasma to create variable hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations, with most in the severe (≤ 7 g/dL) or profound (≤ 5 g/dL) anemia range. Each sample was tested with AnemoCheck-LRS and WHO HCS independently by three readers and compared to Hb measured by an electronic POC test (HemoCue 201+) and commercial hematology analyzer. Results For 570 evaluations within the limits of detection of AnemoCheck-LRS (Hb ≤ 8 g/dL), the average difference between AnemoCheck-LRS and measured Hb was 0.5 ± 0.4 g/dL. In contrast, the WHO HCS overestimated Hb with an absolute difference of 4.9 ± 1.3 g/dL for samples within its detection range (Hb 4–14 g/dL, n = 405). AnemoCheck-LRS was much more sensitive (92%) for the diagnosis of profound anemia than WHO HCS (22%). Conclusions AnemoCheck-LRS is a rapid, inexpensive, and accurate POC test for anemia. AnemoCheck-LRS is more accurate than WHO HCS for detection of low Hb levels, severe anemia that may require blood transfusion. AnemoCheck-LRS should be tested prospectively in limited-resource settings where severe anemia is common, to determine its utility as a screening tool to identify patients who may require transfusion.

Intensive abrasive wear occurs in soil-treatment machines. This article is focused on increasing the service life of ploughs by the welding material. The welding material is applied at a 45° angle to the tool. This material is abrasive wear resistant. The welding material was applied parallel to the head of ploughshares with spacing of 60 mm. Carbide materials were used (SK 258 TiC-O, SK 900-O, SK A43-O, SK 299- O, SK A45-O, OK TUBRODUR 15.82, SK 258 TiC-O). The tested ploughshare variants were wearing the same when were used the welding material and the standard.
