The study involved the development of the basics of production technology and the testing of the mechanical properties of a new grade of steel for forgings with increased strength and impact strength, intended for special products. The scope of the tests includ-ed a proposal for a new steel composition along with the production of ingots and its further processing into forgings in industrial con-ditions, using an input with various dimensions of the cross-section, proposed as a result of numerical calculations, including the performance of heat treatment in two variants. As a result of tests and analyses, it was found that the proposed technology enables the production of semi-finished products with the assumed level of strength and impact strength.

This paper investigated the effect of heat treatment on mechanical properties and microstructure of 6061 aluminium alloy. The aluminium alloys were examined in the heat treated conditions, using different quenching media, water and oil. The alloy was solution heat treated at temperature of 529oC for one, three and five hour respectively. Aging treatment was carried out at temperature of 160oC which is assumed to be the best temperature for ageing process. Hardness measurement was carried out using a Brinell Hardness Tester Machine. The results shows hardness and impact strength are inversely proportional to each other, as the hardness of 6061 aluminium alloy decreases and impact strength increases.

FRP bars were used to improve the mechanical properties of bamboo beams for civil engineering without changing the existing bamboo processing technology in this paper. Three bamboo beams, including one control beam and two FRP-reinforced beams were tested. The effects of various types of FRP bars were compared, including CFRP and BFRP. The results show that the ultimate displacements of reinforced specimens are less than the control specimen. The FRP bars can enhance effectively the cross-section stiffness of bamboo beams. CFRP bars can reduce about 30% strain and BFRP bars can also reduce about 10% strain for the tensile bamboo fiber. The FRP bars in the tension zone can share tensile stress of bamboo fiber. The cross-section stiffness still controls the structure design for the FRP bars reinforced bamboo beams.

In this paper, the low alloy bainite ductile cast iron has been obtained by a new heat treatment technique of the step austempering in room-temperature machine oil. The effects of element boron, manganese and copper on structure and mechanical properties of the bainite ductile cast Iron in above-mentioned process are investigated. The phenomenon, hardness lag of the alloyed bainite ductile cast Iron, has been discussed. It shows that after the step austempering in room-temperature machine oil, the hardness will increases with the time. It is found that boron and manganese can increase the hardness and reduce the impact strength while copper can increase the impact strength. The results show that reasonable alloyed elements can improve mechanical properties of the bainite ductile cast Iron. Essentially, hardness lag of the alloyed bainite ductile cast Iron is resulted from solute drag-like effect.

The mechanical yielding and necking behaviors of metallocene-catalyzed high density polyethylenes were investigated from a structural point of view. In particular the natural draw ratio was investigated with different crosshead speeds, molecular weights, and the cross-section shapes of sample specimens. We proposed a structural model for explaining the necking formation in addition to the molecular weight and the cross-sectional shape dependences of the natural draw ratio.

Specialists of metallurgy and mechanical engineering are intensively working at materials with controlled properties. In fact, at this stage we are already talking about the design of new materials for the specific tasks of the industry. One of the ways to achieve the regulated mechanical properties of metal products is to use the influence of plastic deformation with its different parameters in individual sections of the deformable material. In this study, we studied the effect of cold rolling on the properties of a strip of aluminum alloy EN AW-1050 with artificially created differences in the deformation parameters in different parts of the cross section of the profile. For this, a pre-shaped sample was prepared by conducting joint cold rolling of a strip of the specified material 420 mm long, 180 mm wide and 2.9 mm thick with a steel profiling tape 80 mm wide and 2 mm thick superimposed on it (length of an aluminum strip and steel profiling tape are the same). As a result of joint deformation, the steel strip rolled into the base metal and changed the geometry of the cross section and the properties of the obtained strip. Next, the obtained strip was subjected to heat treatment and rolled in a duo mill. After rolling, thin samples were made from fabricated flat strips to assess mechanical properties, in particular tensile tests were performed according to ISO 6892-1: 2009 and Brinell hardness tests were performed according to ISO 6506-1: 2014. Experimental studies of cold rolling of strips with profiled cross section of aluminum alloy EN AW-1050 were carried out. The possibility of forming heterogeneous properties in a flat aluminum strip by cold plastic deformation is shown and the maximum average values of the increase in the main indicators of mechanical properties on individual elements of the strip are determined. The maximum difference between the mechanical properties of the thick and thin elements of the profiled strip is observed in the hardness index and reaches 37.5%. The maximum obtained average value of the increase in yield strength and tensile strength is 26% and 18%, which is achieved with true deformation of the thick element of the profiled strip 0.165 and 0.234.

The arrangement of rays within the phloem and rhytidome was studied in <em>Aesculus</em> stems. It was found that on the cross section most rays in the stem deviate in Z-direction, that is to the right from the geometric radius. The mechanism of Z-arrangement of the rays may be as follows: owing to the action of wind on the crown torques arise causing the torsion of the wood core. The dissymmetry of the mechanical properties of the Aesculus wood core leads to accumulation of residual Z-torsion, and as consequence of this wood core torsion to the right occurs when seen from above. In the course of this torsion the soft phloem layers lying between the column and the rigid shield of the outer tissues (rhytidome and outher sclerified phloem layers) are drawn by the core and this results in their deviation to the right in respect to the geometrical radius.

Advanced thermomechanical hot rolling is becoming a widely used technology for the production of fine-grained spring steel. Different rapid phase transformations during the inductive heat treatment of such steel causes the inhomogeneous mixture of martensitic, bainitic, and austenitic phases that affects the service properties of the steel. An important task is to assess the amount of retained austenite and its distribution over the cross-section of the inductive quenched and tempered wire in order to evaluate the mechanical properties of the material. Three different analytical methods were used for the comparative quantitative assessment of the amount of retained austenite in both the core and rim areas of the sample cross-section: neutron diffraction—for the bulk of the material, Mössbauer spectroscopy—for measurement in a surface layer, and the metallographic investigations carried by the EBSD. The methods confirmed the excessive amount of retained austenite in the core area that could negatively affect the plasticity of the material.

The cross section variation, mechanical properties and moisture absorption of vegetable sisal fibres compressed at temperatures of 120, 160 and 200 °C were determined and compared with values obtained in non-compressed fibres. The thermo-mechanical treatment carried out resulted in a relevant increasing of fibre stiffness (elastic modulus) and decreasing of fibre moisture absorption.

Aluminium RAl-1 and its alloy Al17Si5Fe3Cu1.1Mg0.6Zr composite materials were manufactured from powder mixtures by cold pressing, hot closed-die forging at 480oC and heat treatment. Powders ranging in composition in 20 wt.% steps of the alloy were mixed in a Turbula mixer for 1 h. The preforms with alloy concentrations of 80 and 100 % were hot consolidated at 480oC and closed-die forged at the same temperature. The effect of chemical composition on microstructure and mechanical properties in bending and compression was examined. Bend strength ranged from 400 to 540 MPa, compression strength from 415 to 744 MPa and hardness from 32 to 203 HB. Simulated distribution of component materials for a cross-section of the forging and shapes of the materials were analysed using LARSTRAN/Shape finite element program and are qualitatively comparable with the results obtained by forging.
