The paper presents results of tests of mechanical properties, hardness measurements, macro-and microstructures of welded joints austenitic and austenitic-ferritic steel with high manganese and aluminium content meant for automotive industry. Tests were conducted on flat sheets made of steel X20MnAl18-3 and X55MnAl25-5. Tested welded joints were ruptured in tensile strength test in all cases inside the weld which is connected with lower resistance to stretching of welded joints in comparison with resistance of joined steels. Resistance to stretching of tested samples, regardless of the method of welding, is on a similar level.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the microhardness, diametral tensile strength, compressive strength and the rheological properties of self-adhesive versus conventional resin cements. Methods: Specimens of a conventional (RelyX ARC) and 3 self-adhesive (RelyX U200, Maxcem Elite, Bifix SE) types of resin cements were prepared. The Knoop test was used to assess the microhardness, using a Microhardness Tester FM 700. For the diametral tensile strength test, a tensile strength was applied at a speed of 0.6 mm/minute. A universal testing machine was used for the analysis of compressive strength and a thermo-controlled oscillating rheometer was used for the Rheology test. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05) were used for data analysis. Results: According to microhardness analysis, all the cements were statistically similar (p>0.05), except for Maxcem that presented lower hardness compared with the other cements in relation to the top surface (p<0.05). In the diametral tensile strength test, Relyx U200 and RelyX ARC cements were statistically similar (p>0.05), presented higher value when compared to the Maxcem and Bifix cements (p<0.05). The compressive strength of RelyX ARC and Maxcem Elite cements was statistically higher than RelyX U200 and Bifix cements (p<0.05). Regarding the rheology test, Maxcem Elite and RelyX ARC cements showed a high modulus of elasticity. Conclusions: The self-adhesive cements presented poorer mechanical properties than conventional resin cement. Chemical structure and types of monomers employed interfere directly in the mechanical properties of resin cements.

Pure titanium TA2 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel were vacuum diffusion bonded using Nb + Ni foils as interlayers, where Nb foil was adjacent to TA2 and Ni foil adjacent to 1Cr18Ni9Ti. The samples were heated to a temperature of 800°C at a pressure of 10 MPa and kept for 60 min, and then to a temperature of 900°C at a pressure of 1 MPa and kept for 30 min. The mechanical properties of the joint were characterized by the tensile strength test. The average tensile strength of the joints was about 398 MPa. The fracture characteristics of the joint were investigated using scanning electron microscope. The fracture of tensile test samples occurred in the Ni3Nb intermetallic compound formed in the interlayers.

Basalt fibers are increasingly emerging as reinforcement of composite materials. Their use is purely technical, depending on the properties of the basalt fibers: thermal, chemical and electrical resistance, good mechanical properties and low environmental impact. Basalt fibers reinforced plastics penetrate to automotive, aerospace, building construction and building reparation, industrial applications, oil industry and sport tools. The topic of the paper is to find out the mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced plastic (BFRP) and to create a model of split pin that is originally made of steel. Basalt woven fabric was selected for this experiment. Two weave - plain and twill was available. Tensile strength test was made in three basic directions: 0°, 90° and 45°. Epoxy resin was used for production composite plates with one layer basalt reinforcement. Tensile strength test of composite plates provided input parameters for numerical model of small composite part - split pin. Real composite split pin will produced according to modeling properties. Weight decrease was supposed, this assumption was confirmed.

The paper deals with the welding of AW 2099-T83 aluminium lithium alloy being used for construction of lower wing stringers. The thickness of AW 2099-T83 aluminium lithium alloy was 25.4 mm. Electron beam welding with the accelerating voltage of 55 kV was used for production of welded joints. Welded joints were inspected by computer tomography, macroscopic and microscopic analysis, tensile strength test and microhardness measurement. Welded joints exhibited good weld joint formation, typical to electron beam welding. Weld metal was structure was dendritic formed by α solid solution. Decrease of microhardness was observed mainly in the centre of weld metal due to dissolution of precipitates. The fracture occurred in the weld metal during tensile strength test. Further research will focus on post-heat treatment of welded joints in order to improve mechanical properties of weld metal.

INTRODUCTION: The degradation of elastic ligatures in the oral environment results in the need of periodic replacement to maintain the optimal force during the orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to perform a clinical prospective randomized study of the degradation of orthodontic elastomeric ligatures in the oral environment by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile strength test. METHOD: Two hundred elastic ligatures were randomly selected and placed around the brackets of 5 volunteers and removed in groups of 10, at different times (1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks). The control group was performed by another fifty ligatures which were not submitted to the oral degradation. The analyses were done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and strength mechanical test. RESULTS: The tensile strength test results showed reduction in the ultimate strength values after four weeks ageing in the oral environment and no statistical difference in the yield strength values (p < 0.05). The orthodontic elastomeric ligatures surface was significantly degraded in the oral cavity after four weeks. The elastomeric degradation began in the first week when the increase in the roughness could be detected just in some areas. Afterwards, the surface became gradually rougher and, after 4 weeks, it was totally rough with some crack areas. CONCLUSIONS: The elastic ligatures aged in the oral environment showed higher superficial degradation and lower loss of mechanical properties after the maximum experimental period.

In construction, concrete durability is an important material globally used in engineering, material of which can be applied in the fields of specialized marine construction. The ingress of chloride into concrete causes deterioration in the concrete due to the reinforcement corrosion. Adding bacteria into concrete can improve material properties and increase durability with mechanism resist chloride ingressed in the concrete . Ingress of Chloride into the concrete of bacteria is particularly suited for applications of chloride ion penetration in concrete. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of adding bacteria into the concrete properties. The bacteria used in this research is locally isolated and enriched to the suite with the concrete environment. The type of the bacteria used is identified as Sulphate Reduction Bacteria (SRB). The SRB added into the concrete mix with concentrations of 3%, 5% and 7%. Whereas, concentration of bacteria water of cement is 0.5. The mechanical properties test conducted with 28th, 56th, 90th, 180th and 360th day of curing period. The test was using cyclic wetting and drying to study the exposure to chloride condition, such as compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural test. Cubes in the size of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm were prepared for compressive strength test and cylinder 150 mm × 300 mm were prepared for the tensile strength test. The flexural strength test was on the prism in the size of 100 mm × 100 mm × 500 mm. The result of compressive strength test shows, that gave significant strength of 66.3 MPa on the 360th day. The tensile strength and flexural strength have a similar trend as compressive strength results, where both results were optimum . The tensile strength test shows that 4.52 MPa tends to control 3.96 MPa. The result of flexural strength test was 8.23 MPa for compared to control of 5.99 MPa. The overall results of the bacteria indicate promising outcome and further study on chloride condition capability is encouraging.

Purpose Vibratory weld conditioning parameters have a great influence on the improvement of mechanical properties of weld connections. The purpose of this paper is to understand the influence of vibratory weld conditioning on the mechanical and microstructural characterization of aluminum 5052 alloy weldments. An attempt is made to understand the effect of the vibratory tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process parameters on the hardness, ultimate tensile strength and microstructure of Al 5052-H32 alloy weldments. Design/methodology/approach Aluminum 5052 H32 specimens are welded at different combinations of vibromotor voltage inputs and time of vibrations. Voltage input is varied from 50 to 230 V at an interval of 10 V. At each voltage input to the vibromotor, there are three levels of time of vibration, i.e. 80, 90 and 100 s. The vibratory TIG-welded specimens are tested for their mechanical and microstructural properties. Findings The results indicate that the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy weld connections improved by increasing voltage input up to 160 V. Also, it has been observed that by increasing vibromotor voltage input beyond 160 V, mechanical properties were reduced significantly. It is also found that vibration time has less influence on the mechanical properties of weld connections. Improvement in hardness and ultimate tensile strength of vibratory welded joints is 16 and 14%, respectively, when compared without vibration, i.e. normal weld conditions. Average grain size is measured as per ASTM E 112–96. Average grain size is in the case of 0, 120, 160 and 230 is 20.709, 17.99, 16.57 and 20.8086 µm, respectively. Originality/value Novel vibratory TIG welded joints are prepared. Mechanical and micro-structural properties are tested.
