Maximizing energy efficiency of buildings is essential to meet EU climate targets and strict national regulations. We examine how local climate influences energy performance of residential building and mitigation options. A model of single-family house was analyzed in whole year energy simulation software WUFI Plus. Three Polish locations were investigated, namely Wrocław, Warszawa and Kołobrzeg. Implementation of the original meteorological dataset into WUFI Plus based on typical meteorological year (2005–2023) is a novel element of this work. Hourly heat and mass transfer, usable, final and primary energy indicators, and CO2 emissions were calculated for a gas-boiler baseline and two alternatives: an air-to-water heat pump, and air-to-water heat pump with photovoltaic panels. Results for the gas-boiler scenario show location-dependent heating demand differences up to 30%; usable energy for heating ranged from 7561 to 9760 kWh/year, and EP of the system from 114 to 129 kWh/(m2·year). Replacing the boiler with an air-to-water heat pump reduced final energy indicator by over 60% but produced similar CO2 due to Poland’s carbon-intensive electricity mix. Adding photovoltaic system, that covers electricity demand only of auxiliary equipment, cut CO2 emissions by about 10%. These findings highlight the importance of climate-specific meteorological inputs and on-site renewables to meet forthcoming energy performance standards.
Purpose: This paper is devoted the investigation hydrogen influence on of wear resistance of high nitrogen steel (HNS) at dry and solid state lubricants assistant friction. It has been established that after hydrogenation at 250 N loading the wear rate increased by 2.9 ... 4.1 times. Microhardness of hydrogenated layer was 7.6 ... 8.2 GPa, that is increased after hydrogenation in two times. After adding the (GaSe)xIn1-x compounds to the tribo conjugates by X-ray diffraction analysis it has been established the appearance of new phases which formed during the friction process and detected on the friction surface. Design/methodology/approach: This work presents research results concerning the comparative tests of high nitrogen steels in the circumstances of dry rolling friction. It was conducted the experiments to determine the tribological properties of high-nitrogen steels under rolling friction. The test pieces were manufactured in the form of rollers, and rotated with a linear velocity 2.27 m/s (upper roller), 3.08 m/s (bottom roller). Upper roller is made from HNS was subjected for hydrogenation. Analysis of friction surfaces indicates the complex mechanism of fracture surfaces. The results of the local X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis has been established the appearance of new phases and elements on the friction surface. Findings: It has been found that the level of wear resistance of the investigated materials under hydrogenation. Compounds realize chemisorption, tribochemical mechanisms of the formation of thin protective (anti-wear, antifriction) layers on metal surfaces. Research limitations/implications: An essential problem is the verification of the results obtained using the standard mechanical tests, computer-based image analysis and other methods. Practical implications: The observed phenomena can be regarded as the basic explanation of reduces the plasticity characteristics after hydrogenation. Applying the (GaSe)xIn1-x compounds as a lubricant will allow the formation of films on friction surfaces that can minimize surface wear, which will contribute to the transition to a wear-free friction mode. The protective film is a barrier to high shear and normal loads, preserving the base metal of the part and providing reduced wear and friction. Originality/value: The value of this work is that conducted experiments permit to determine the tribological properties of high nitrogen steels under rolling friction after hydrogenation. After adding (GaSe)xIn1-x compounds to the tribo conjugates after due to X-ray diffraction analysis it has been established the appearance of new phases which formed during the friction process and detected on the friction surface.

Purpose: This paper is devoted to the investigation of gaseous hydrogen and ash gas turbine fuel influence on the mass loss in long-term corrosion and mechanical properties of cast heat-resistant blade materials. It has been established that the level of corrosion resistance of the investigated alloys (Ni59Cr21Co10W4Ti3Al3MoLa (SM-104-VI); Ni57Cr16Co12W6Ti4Al3Mo2Hf (SM-90-VI); Ni57Cr16Co11W6Ti4Al4Mo2Hf (SM-88U-VI)) correlated with the chromium content and is the highest among similar materials. The advantage of SM-104-VI alloy increases with the increasing of time base and temperature. Design/methodology/approach: This work presents research results concerning corrosion and hydrogen resistance of a investigated alloys examined at a standart mechanical tests under short-term static tension was determined on smooth cylindrical five-time samples with a diameter of the working part 5 mm at speed 1 mm/min. The destructed areas were examined by optical and electron microscopes with computer image analysis. Findings: It has been found that the level of resistance of the investigated alloys high- temperature sulfide and oxide corrosion in the ash of the gas turbine fuel is correlated with the criterion alloying and is the highest among the known materials of the blades. The value of specific mass loss decreases in the order of SM-88U-VI, SM-90-VI, SM-104-VI. Moreover, its advantage over alloys of SM-90-VI and SM-88U-VI as bigger as the time the corrosive environment. Research limitations/implications: An essential problem is the verification of the results obtained using the standart mechanical tests, computer-based image analysis and other methods. Practical implications: The observed phenomena can be regarded as the basic explanation of reduces the plasticity characteristics of the alloys for gas turbine blades. Originality/value: The value of this work is that increasing temperature reduces the negative influence of hydrogen, however, even at 900°C, the values of elongation and transverse contraction in hydrogen is lower than in the air. For a short stretch in the temperature interval 20-900°C the least sensitive to the action of hydrogen at a pressure of 30 MPa is a single crystal SM-90-VI alloy.

Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is a phenomenon, where liquid (molten) metal is mostly intergranulary (but not only) penetrated into solid metal and causes its brit- tle fracture. The LME is usually related to low melting metals (zink, tin, cadmium), which are in the contact with higher molten ones (steels, Ni alloys). Cases of LME as a Cu penetration into pipeline welded joint of 15G2S steel, a hot temperature corrosion in the cement works shell plate made of AISI 310 stainless steel attacted by Ni3S2 (Ts = 644 °C) and a vanadium corrosion in the boiler vessel (10CrMo9-10 steel) due to V2O5 + Na2SO4 eutecticum (~600 °C) are concerned.

Kruchość stali wywołana obecnością cieczy metalicznej (ang. LME – liquid metal embrittlement) zachodzi podczas oddziaływania i w konsekwencji penetrowania granic ziaren (stali oraz stopów Ni) niskotopliwych metalami (cu, Zn, Col Sn), w warunkach działania naprężeń rozciągających. W artykule przeanalizowano przypadki LME wynikające z penetrowania Cu złączy spawanych rurociągów ze stali 15G29 oraz wysokotemperaturowej erozji płyt ze stali 310 wg ALSI wywołanej działaniem Ni3S2 (Ts-644 °C) oraz erozji kotła ze stali 10CrMo9-10 wywołanym oddziaływaniem w wysokiej temperaturze V2O5 + Na2SO4.

The interaction between H atoms and a Fe50Ni50 alloy containing vacancies was studied. The energy of the system was calculated by the atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital (ASED-MO) method. The electronic structure was studied using the concept of density of states (DOS) and crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) curves. The minimum energy position for the H atom in the vacancy region was found at 1.32 A from the vacancy centre. The changes in the electronic structure of Fe and Ni atoms near the vacancies were analyzed. The interactions mainly involve Fe and Ni metal 4s and 4p atomic orbitals, the most important being the contribution of Fe orbitals. Fe-Fe, Fe-Ni and Ni-Ni bonds weakened as new Fe-H ones were formed. The effect of H atoms is limited to its first neighbours. The detrimental effect of H atoms on the metallic bonds can be related to the mechanism for H embrittlement.

In terms of ISO 9001, art. 49 we can qualify the heat treatment as one of so called "special processes". With these, we need to find out the identity or non-identity of the products by means of qualified exams (control of fracture surfaces on SEM). This can remarkably increase safety and durability of parts after their converting, because it guarantees the optimal ratio of strenght, plastic and brittle fracture properties. Advantages of the applied method: - Existing verified method and sufficiently augmented instrument technique (SEM). - Operatively and objectivity of the test. - Unpretentiousness of sample preparation. Relatively low price, regarding the heat treatment batch price, or complaints expenses.

W pracy dokonano oceny zjawiska nieodwracalnej kruchości odpuszczania w dwóch stopach modelowych z chromem. W obu badanych stopach stwierdzono obniżenie udarności przy temperaturach odpuszczania 300-350 stopni Celsjusza przy jednoczesnym zaniku przełomów o charakterze dołeczkowym co najprawdopodobniej było wynikiem rozpuszczenia się węglika epsilon lub skupisk atomów węgla redystrybucją tego pierwiastka do granic tworzącej się substruktury komórkowej.

The paper evaluates the occurence of irreversible temper embrittlement in two chromium content model alloys. In both investigated alloys a lowered impact toughness at tempering tempratures of 300-350 degrees centigrade was found with the simultaneous disappearance of dimpled fracture. It most probably resulted from dissolution of epsilon carbide or carbon clusters and redistribution of this element to the borders of the arising cellular structure.
