The 15th conference on metallography was held on September 21-23, 2021, in Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic. It was focused on the application of metallography in industrial practice - for the solution of production problems, elucidation of premature failure of machine components and constructions during service, breakdowns or accidents. In addition, some results of new research projects which could improve manufacturing technology or the quality of machine products were presented. Among other contributions from the conference collected in this book, individual papers deal with failure causes and fracture mechanisms, insufficient material properties and incorrect function of the components. Using metallographic analyses, which include light and electron microscopy, spectroscopic methods, and physical methods for the detection of defects, material structures are also investigated. Results are correlated with material properties, and recommendations for production improvement are given.
The 43rd volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" of peer-reviewed papers presents the engineering solutions and research results in mechanical properties of materials and precise processing technologies in mechanical engineering, applied mechanics, fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, the thermal efficiency of salt gradient solar pond, optical communication, bridge monitoring, and wood application, ecological impact assessment of gas-fired power plant. The professionals, students, and scientific investigators working in the various engineering fields will find this volume of value.
17th International Symposium on Metallography, Fractography and Materials Science (April 24 – 26, 2019, Nový Smokovec, High Tatra Mountains, Slovak Republic). Collected articles focus on not only research in the field of steel, alloys, and metallic materials but also in the field of numerous modern materials and technologies - ceramics, composites, amorphous materials, special coatings, and powder metallurgy.
The book covers a broad range of topics related to damage and failure of structural materials and parts. The collection contains the results of research and analysis of the fracture behavior of the materials that are subject to fatigue and extreme plastic deformation including analysis of the failures caused by stress concentrators such as welded joints. Several papers focus on the structural design of engineering parts and prediction of their lifespan based on the knowledge of damage processes. The materials combine aspects of experimental, theoretical and computational investigations with an emphasis on the direct applications in engineering.
The book was comprised of the papers presented at the conference "New Methods of Damage and Failure Analysis of Structural Parts" (November 01-04, 2016, Yokohama, Japan).
The 33 papers are grouped as follows:
I. Steels;
II. Alloys;
III. Surface Treatment and Powder Metallurgy;
VI. Welding and Creep Resistant Materials;
V. Methods of Research and Analyze;
IV. Failure Analysis
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The work covers the topics of: basic failure phenomena; indentation fracture; fracture and fractography of structural, electro- and bio-/dental ceramics; fracture of fiber-reinforced composites; fracture of porous and laminated ceramics; defect-strength and microstructure - fracture toughness relationships; damage mechanisms in nanoceramics; fracture and fractography of multilayered ceramics and coatings; machining cracks and edge-chipping; and fracture and fractography of composites and nanocomposites.
