This paper discusses the current areas of work to en-sure the performance of protective coatings for machinery and equipment in theagricultural industry complex for the conditions of Siberia. The following five main areas were identified: corrosion protection, thermoregulation, fire re-sistance, antistatics and radiation protection. It was found that the most efficient way to ensure the performance of coatings is their nanomodification. The method of fire re-sistance tests developed at the Novosibirsk State Agricul-tural University is presented. The results of preliminary tests in two areas are presented: fire resistance and corro-sion protection. One of the promising nano-additives is bismuth oxide which may improve fire resistance and phys-ical and mechanical properties. According to the research results, when the concentration of bismuth oxide reaches 5%, an extremum is observed for the values of hardness (86-94) and adhesion (3.3-3.6 MPa) of the coating. At the same time, the addition of bismuth oxide in a concentration of 7.5% made it possible to achieve a significant increase in the fire resistance of the coating. Fire resistance and ignition time increased to 240°C and 65 s, respectively. Some of the most effective additives are identified and the further direction of the study is indicated which consists in optimizing the compositions of protective coatings and providing a set of properties for operating conditions in each specific case. It is also necessary to take into account the combined effect of nanomodifiers on the properties of the protective coating.

The article discusses solutions for anti-corrosion protection of trailer and trailer’s elements. Due to the different operating conditions, the protective coating of metal elements must be resistant to chemical substances in a dry and wet environment that stimulates corrosion processes. Corrosion resistance must also be ensured on elements subjected to locally high stresses and thermal loads that prevail during the operation of trailers in road transport. The study also defines the criteria and methods for the selection of coatings to protect surfaces exposed to corrosion.

Polyfunctional protective coatings based on filled polysiloxane compositions are technological and can be used to increase the fire resistance of metal structural materials due to high thermomechanical properties, which are determined by stable structural and phase composition. The influence of protective coatings on the basis of polysiloxane-filled oxide components on fire resistance of aluminum alloys is investigated in the work. The choice of the initial compositions for fire protection coatings was carried out with the aim of obtaining of expanded heat-insulating heatresistant layer on the surface of an aluminum alloy at temperatures of 473 K and higher. The methods of physico-chemical analysis have established that when heated more than 473 K as a result of thermo oxidative degradation of polysiloxane with the release of gaseous products, there is an expanding coating with the formation of a fire-proof porous heat-insulating layer on the surface of an aluminum alloy. The coefficient of expanding the coating is within the range of 9.8 ... 12.4. The reliability of the use of physicochemical criteria when choosing the component composition of the coating and the effectiveness of the fire protection function is estimated from the results of the test on the aluminum alloy AMG6 and on the model of its thermal conductivity. 20 Пожежна безпека, №34, 2019 A model of thermal conductivity of a protective coating is proposed, which consists of a layer that limits heat transfer through a two-layer wall. When exposed to the aluminum plate of the heat flow, it is heated to the depth of the coating, which leads to its expanding and the formation of a thermal barrier. The dynamics of temperature distribution during a fire on the protective coating of an aluminum alloy is predicted by simulating the heat transfer process in a homogeneous solid by a mathematical model. The theoretical and practical researches have established the dependence of the parameter of heating the protected aluminum alloy to the critical temperature, depending on the thickness of the coating. The presence on the surface of a protected alloy coating, based on the filled polysiloxane, changes the process of heat transfer to its surface, which increases the fire resistance of the structure by 3 ...4 times.

Recent developments of intumescent fire-protective coatings used in steel buildings are important to ensure the structural integrity and safe evacuation of occupants during fire accidents. Flame-retardant intumescent coating applied to structural steel could delay the spread of fire and heat propagation across spaces and structures in minimizing fire risks. This research focuses on formulating a green intumescent coating utilized the BioAsh, a by-product derived from natural rubberwood (hardwood) biomass combustion as the natural substitute of mineral fillers in the intumescent coating. Fire resistance, chemical, physical and mechanical properties of all samples were examined via Bunsen burner, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), carbolite furnace, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), freeze–thaw cycle, static immersion and Instron pull-off adhesion test. Sample BioAsh intumescent coating (BAIC) 4-7 incorporated with 3.5 wt.% BioAsh exhibited the best performances in terms of fire resistance (112.5 °C for an hour under the Bunsen burner test), thermal stability (residual weight of 29.48 wt.% at 1000 °C in TGA test), adhesion strength (1.73 MPa under Instron pull-off adhesion test), water resistance (water absorption rate of 8.72%) and freeze–thaw durability (no crack, blister and color change) as compared to other samples. These results reveal that an appropriate amount of renewable BioAsh incorporated as natural mineral fillers into the intumescent coating could lead to better fire resistance and mechanical properties for the steel structures.


The choice of cost-effective method of anticorrosive protection of steel structures is an urgent and time consuming task, considering the significant number of protection ways, differing from each other in the complex of technological, physical, chemical and economic characteristics. To reduce the complexity of solving this problem, the author proposes a computational tool that can be considered as a subsystem of computer-aided design and used at the stage of variant and detailed design of steel structures. As a criterion of the effectiveness of the anti-corrosion protection method, the cost of the protective coating during the service life is accepted. The analysis of existing methods of steel protection against corrosion is performed, the possibility of their use for the protection of the most common steel structures is established, as well as the estimated period of effective operation of the coating. The developed computational tool makes it possible to choose the best method of protection of steel structures against corrosion, taking into account the operating conditions of the protected structure and the possibility of using a protective coating.

The results of studying operational destruction of a high-loaded cardan shaft of the propeller engine made of steel 38KhN3MFA are presented to elucidate the cause of damage and develop a set of recommendations and measures aimed at elimination of adverse factors. Methods of scanning electron and optical microscopy, as well as X-ray spectral microanalysis are used to determine the mechanical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and fracture pattern of cardan shaft fragments. It is shown that the mechanical properties and chemical composition of the material correspond to the requirements of the regulatory documentation, defects of metallurgical origin both in the shaft metal and in the fractures are absent. The microstructure of the studied shaft fragments is tempered martensite. Fractographic analysis revealed that the destruction of cardan shaft occurred by a static mechanism. The fracture surface is coated with corrosion products. The revealed cracks developed by the mechanism of corrosion cracking due to violation of the protective coating on the shaft. The results of the study showed that the destruction of the cardan shaft of a propeller engine made of steel 38Kh3MFA occurred due to formation and development of spiral cracks by the mechanism of stress corrosion cracking under loads below the yield point of steel. The reason for «neck» formation upon destruction of the shaft fragment is attributed to the yield point of steel attained during operation. Regular preventive inspections are recommended to assess the safety of the protective coating on the shaft surface to exclude formation and development of corrosion cracks.

The results of the research of structure and properties of a composite compact from 13 Cr – 2 Мо and BN powders depending on the concentration of boron nitride are provided. It is shown that adding boron nitride in an amount of more than 2% by weight of the charge mixture leads to the formation of extended grain boundary porosity and finely dispersed BN layers in the structure, which provides a high level of wearing properties of the material. The effect of boron nitride concentration on physical and mechanical properties is determined. It was found that the introduction of a small amount of BN (up to 2 % by weight) into the compacts leads to an increase in plasticity, bending strength, and toughness by reducing the friction forces between the metal powder particles during pressing and a more complete grain boundary diffusion process during sintering. The formation of a regulated structure-phase composition of powder compacts of 13 Cr – 2 Mо – BN when the content of boron nitride changes in them allows us to provide the specified physical and mechanical properties in a wide range. The obtained results of studies of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the developed material allow us to reasonably choose the necessary composition of the powder compact for sealing structures of the flow part of steam turbines, depending on their operating conditions.

To investigate the effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) addition and consequently porosity, two different sets of membranes are manufactured, since PVP is a widely used poring agent which has an impact on the mechanical properties of the membrane material. The first set (PAN 1) includes polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the necessary solvent while the second set (PAN 2) is made of PAN and PVP. These membranes are put through several characterisation processes including tensile testing. The obtained data are used to model the static behaviour of the membranes with different geometries but similar loading and boundary conditions that represent their operating conditions. This modelling process is undertaken by using the finite element method. The main idea is to investigate how geometry affects the load-carrying capacity of the membranes. Alongside membrane modelling, their materials are modelled with representative elements with hexagonal and rectangular pore arrays (RE) to understand the impact of porosity on the mechanical properties. Exploring the results, the best geometry is found as the elliptic membrane with the aspect ratio 4 and the better RE as the hexagonal array which can predict the elastic properties with an approximate error of 12%.

The conservation of historic stone buildings and sculptures is receiving growing attention because of weathering. Now, the techniques for stone conservation are primarily achieved through the use of organic coating treatments. Although some defects of organic protective materials have been recognized, the further shortcoming is still short of awareness. Here we show our investigations of the side effect of organic coating treatments. Some kinds of common stones, including sandstone, tuff, granite, dolomite and marble, were selected as protected objects. Organic silicon compounds were used as protective coatings. The artificial weathering, including salting, freezing and heating, was designed. The treated stones’ decaying was investigated. The results reveal that the treated stone decaying is aggravated. Moreover, the destruction mechanism has been discussed.

Abstract Multi-bore hollow fiber membranes were prepared through phase inversion spinning process using new locally designed spinnerets of various geometrical shapes. The spun cylindrical-like, rectangular or ribbon-like, and triangular-like are prepared, dried, and characterized by scanning electronic microscope. Fibers of circular (seven, five, and four bores) shape, rectangular of five bores, and triangular of three bores were chosen to study the effect of both geometrical configuration and the number of bores on the amorphous structure and the mechanical properties of the membranes. Membrane geometry, surface amorphous, and bore arrangements are very sensitive to the operating conditions, especially the extrusion and drawing rates. Three polymeric blends of different compositions are used to prepare multi-bore hollow fiber membranes. This study revealed that the blend composition of PES 16%, PVP 2%, PEG 2%, diethylene glycol 2%, and NMP 78% gives excellent mechanical properties. Optimization of the preparation conditions also developed, where the dope flow rate, the bore flow rate, and the air gap were 1.14 cm3 s−1, 1.1 cm3 s−1, and 0 cm, respectively. Furthermore, this study proved that the circular arrangement has high mechanical strength. The prepared seven-MBHF membranes were applied in the membrane distillation process, a solution of 35 g/l NaCl was used to test the membrane performance, and the achieved flux and rejection were 28.32 L/m2 h and 98.9%, respectively. This performance demonstrated that the prepared membrane in this way is suitable to compete with conventional reverse osmosis technology that uses single track hollow fibers.
