Abstract: Finemet type materials show extremely soft magnetic behavior with excellent and in wide range on-demand variable macroscopic parameters [1]. Requirements for the most important magnetic parameters (e.g. permeability, coercitive force, saturation, loss) are determined by the targeted applications. We report results on the optimization of crystallization treatments and parameter tailoring by magnetic field induced anisotropy. As compared to the most widely used magnetic materials our samples have parameters of real measure of excellence.

Abstract: Our research focused on the adhesion properties of mirror coating on silica float glass due to applying different quantity of tin-chloride sensitizing agent. Investigation was carried out to detect the distribution and quantity of tin containing clusters deposited on the glass surface working as crystallization centre. The adhesion properties of coatings were tested by scratch test where critical peeling forces were evaluated. The morphology of the formed scratch track was measured with scanning electron microscope. The surface topography was scanned by AFM technique.

Abstract: The aim of this research work is to investigate the sliding properties of the monotectic surface layers developed by a laser surface-treatment technology. The coatings-remelting technology has been chosen from the laser surface treatment methods. The surface of Al-Si alloy was coated with a lead layer by galvanizing, then the basic material and the surface layer were remelted together by using laser beam produced a monotectic Al- Pb surface layer. The structure of monotectic surface layer has been determined by means of a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. The sliding properties of the basic material (as cast, nearly eutectic Al-Si alloy), the Al-Si-Pb monotectic surface layer as well as the Al-Cu-Sn sliding bearing (Al-Cu matrix and Sn sliding layer) used in the gas industry have been investigated.

Abstract: The relative low density of aluminum is well known for a long time, but its adaptability is limited by mechanical and thermal expansion properties. These unfavorable properties can be significantly improved by powder metallurgy. The produced material has a non-equilibrium state; it follows from the power metallurgy, so arises the question of the measurement of residual stress. We produced some square rod for our experiment with different tool geometry, thus the deformation histories of this specimens were different too. We measured the residual stress of this specimens by means of strain-gauges.
