This paper is focused on the investigations of the residual stresses present in SLM Cu-4.3%Sn alloys, which were fabricated by the SLM process. The source Cu-4.3%Sn powder was analyzed for basic characteristics, and then the residual stress state was determined for 3D printed samples with different geometries before and after heat treatments. Stress measurements were performed using the X-ray diffraction ꞷ-sin2ψ method. Nonhomogeneous residual stresses were found to be present within SLM Cu-4.3%Sn alloys samples. Biaxial tensile stress was revealed in the interior of as-printed cube samples and it was reduced by annealing, whereas thin strip samples contained biaxial compressive stresses and after annealing the stress became more equi-biaxial but it was not reduced to zero near the sample surface. The results suggest how residual stresses are distributed within the copper SLM alloys with a simple shape. More complex geometries are expected to have correspondingly more complicated stress states. The performed investigation provides insight in to the residual stress distribution in copper alloys fabricated via SLM, which have not been widely studied yet. Application of the ꞷ-sin2ψ technique to the SLM process was analyzed and it was found that the methodology of utilizing the ꞷ-sin2ψ can be widely applied using standard X-ray diffraction facilities to study residual stresses within the additively manufactured metal alloy parts.

Archaeometallurgical investigations presented in this work focus on analysing the microstructure as well as mechanical properties of artefacts from the17th in form of findings performed from cast iron as well as copper casts. The presented research results extend the up-to-date knowledge and present the analysis of structural compounds found in the microstructure of the artefacts from the time dating back to the late Middle Ages in the region around Czestochowa, Poland. The tested samples were found in earth in the city centre under the present marketplace. The excavation works were carried out in summer in the year 2009, and have resulted in the excavation of artefacts in form of copper block of the weight of several kg. The excavation action was led by a group of Polish archaeologists collaborating with the local authorities. The performed pre-dating of this element determines the age of the artefacts as the 17th century AD. The excavations that have been taking place since 2007 have widened the knowledge of the former Czestochowa. Historians of this town have suggested, that the found weight and traces of metallurgical activity suggest that the exposed walls were an urban weight. The weight is visible on the 18th century iconography. What was find on the Old Market indicates that there was a lush economic life before the Swedish invasion in this part of Poland. Some buildings lost their functions or were changed, others died in fires, but new places developed. To describe the microstructure, with its structural components, research was done using microscopy techniques, both of the light as well as electron microscopy (SEM), also chemical composition analysis was carried out using the EDS technique, as well as tool for phase analysis were applied in form of X-Ray Diffraction (qualitative analysis), especially for the reason to describe the phases present in the excavated material. This research will help to obtain new information in order to investigate further archaeometallurgical artefacts, extending the knowledge about middle age metallic materials its usage and manufacturing.

Purpose: This work presents the influence of chemical composition and plastic deformation temperature of CuCoNi and CuCoNiB as well as CuCo2 and CuCo2B alloys on the structure, mechanical properties and, especially on the inter-crystalline brittleness phenomenon and ductility minimum temperature effect in tensile testing with strain rate of 1.2·10-3 s-1 in the range from 20°C to 800°C. Design/methodology/approach: The tensile test of the investigated copper alloys was realized in the temperature range of 20-800°C with a strain rate of 1.2·10-3 s–1 on the universal testing machine. Metallographic observations of the structure were carried out on a light microscope and the fractographic investigation of fracture on an electron scanning microscope. Findings: Low-alloy copper alloys such as CuCo2 and CuCo2B as well as CuCoNi and CuCoNiB show a phenomenon of minimum plasticity at tensile testing in plastic deforming temperature respectively from 500°C to 700°C for CuCo2, from 450°C to 600°C for CuCo2B and from 450°C to 600°C for CuCo2B and from 500°C to 600°C for CuCoNiB. Practical implications: In result of tensile tests of copper alloys it has been found that the ductility minimum temperature of the alloys equals to about 500°C. At the temperature of stretching of about 450°C the investigated copper alloys show maximum strength values. Originality/value: Based on the test results the temperature range for decreased plasticity of CuCoNi and CuCoNiB as well as CuCo2 and CuCo2B alloys was specified. This brittleness is a result of decreasing plasticity in a determined range of temperatures of deforming called the ductility minimum temperature.

The aim of this work was to study the microstructure and functional properties of CuNi2Si1 alloy. The material was prepared classically by melting, casting, hot rolling and cold rolling. The obtained strips were processed with combined operations of supersaturation, ageing and one of the intensive deformation method - repetitive corrugation and straightening. The efficiency of RCS operation in shaping of functional properties in precipitation hardened copper alloys depends not only on tool geometry and operating parameters but also on whether and at what stage of strip production the supersaturation operation was applied. Application of the supersaturation before RCS operation broadens the potential to shape the set of functional properties. Comparable functional properties of the precipitation hardened copper alloy strips can be reached without application of the supersaturation operation in their manufacturing processes. The process of RCS applied after annealing, and the potentially slightly lower mechanical properties would be compensated by higher electrical conductivity.

Zabytki metalowe zajmują ważną pozycję w badaniach historii kultury materialnej. Stanowią przedmiot analiz pod względem stylistycznym i technologicznym, przy wykorzystaniu wiedzy specjalistów różnych dziedzin i nowoczesnych nieniszczących technik badawczych. Badania zabytków wymagają specjalnego postępowania, zgodnego z zasadami ich zachowania i ochrony, dlatego też zalecane jest stosowanie metod nieniszczących i nieinwazyjnych. Celem pracy jest opis metodyki postępowania prowadzonego w czasie konserwacji zabytków metalowych pochodzenia archeologicznego. Podkreślono znaczenie nieniszczących metod badawczych jak spektrometria fluorescencji rentgenowskiej czy mikroskopia optyczna. Badania makro- i mikroskopowe umożliwiają ocenę stanu zachowania zabytków, rodzaju nawarstwień korozyjnych, są także pomocne przy analizie typologicznej ozdób archeologicznych i techniki wykonania. Przy udziale metody spektrometrii fluorescencji rentgenowskiej dokonuje się analizy składu chemicznego stopu i określenia przybliżonych właściwości technologicznych. Na podstawie tych informacji dokonuje się przygotowania programu konserwatorskiego, który obejmuje m.in. usunięcie produktów korozji, ustabilizowanie procesów korozyjnych, wzmocnienie struktury zabytku metalowego oraz zabezpieczenie przed dalszymi procesami destrukcji. Tak przygotowane zabytki mogą być przeznaczone do ekspozycji muzealnej, przy zachowaniu specjalnych warunków wilgotności i temperatury powietrza. Pośrednim celem jest przedstawienie metodyki badań i konserwacji wybranych zabytków metalowych ze zbiorów Muzeum Archeologicznego w Krakowie jako swoistego poligonu badawczego oraz zaprezentowanie praktyk w zakresie prowadzonych tu interdyscyplinarnych badań terenowych i naukowych.

Metal monuments are important in investigations of the material culture history. They constitute the subject of analyses in respect of style and technology, at utilising the expert knowledge of several fields and modern non-destructive research techniques. Investigations of monuments and antique elements require special procedures, in conformity of their maintenance and protection rules. Therefore using non-destructive and non-invasive methods is recommended. The aim of this study is the description of the methodology applied during the restoration of metal monuments of the archaeological origin. The meaning of non-destructive investigation methods, such as X-ray fluorescence spectrometry or optical microscopy, is emphasised. Macroscopic and microscopic tests allow assessments of the maintenance state of monuments, kinds of corrosive piling ups as well as they are helpful in typological analyses of archaeological ornaments and in recognizing their production techniques. The analysis of the chemical composition of alloys and determinations of their approximate technological properties is performed by means of the X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. On the bases of these information the conservation program, consisting - among others - of the removal of corrosion products, stabilisation of corrosion processes, strengthening of the metal monument structure and protection against further destruction processes, is prepared. Monuments prepared in such way can be intended for the museum exposition, at maintaining special conditions of humidity and air temperature. The indirect aim is the presentation of the research and restoration methodology of the selected monuments from the collection of the Archaeological Museum in Krakow, treated as the special testing ground as well as showing trainings of the performed there interdisciplinary field and scientific investigations.

Operatorzy sieci przesyłowych stają przed istotnymi, a nawet sprzecznymi wyzwaniami. Duża zmienność dostaw energii ze źródeł odnawialnych i większy nacisk kładziony na efektywność energetyczną wymagają rozbudowy sieci, a przy tym opory przeciwko budowaniu nowych linii napowietrznych nigdy nie były tak silne. Częścią rozwiązania tego problemu mogą być przewody z miedzi stopowej. Ich cenną właściwością jest efektywność energetyczna i odporność na chwilowe przeciążenia. Odporność na przeciążenia wynika z większej odporności miedzi na pełzanie w wysokich temperaturach. Efektywność energetyczna przewodu miedzianego równoważy jego wyższy koszt początkowy. W wyniku tego koszt życia (LCC) przewodu z miedzi stopowej jest tego samego rzędu lub niższy niż przewodu stalowo-aluminiowego (ACSR). Wyliczenia te są wynikiem dwóch studiów wykonalności przeprowadzonych przez holenderską agencję konsultingową DNV KEMA: jedno dotyczące budowy nowych linii przesyłowych, drugie renowacji i modernizacji istniejących linii. To drugie studium wykazało także, dlaczego przy większym ciężarze właściwym miedzi w porównaniu z aluminium, nie zachodzi potrzeba wzmacniania słupów linii napowietrznych. W istocie rzeczy większa wytrzymałość mechaniczna miedzi czyni stalowy rdzeń zbędnym, a mniejszy przekrój porzeczny w połączeniu z powłoką hydrofobową skutkuje mniejszym obciążeniem od wiatru i oblodzenia. Z tych powodów przewody miedziane szczególnie nadają się stosowania w zimnym i wietrznym klimacie.

The main scope of the article is the development of a computer system, which should give advices at problem of cooper alloys manufacturing. This problem relates with choosing of an appropriate type of bronze (e.g. the BA 1044 bronze) with possible modification (e.g. calcium carbide modifications: Ca + C or CaC2) and possible heat treatment operations (quenching, tempering) in order to obtain desired mechanical properties of manufactured material described by tensile strength - Rm, yield strength - Rp0.2 and elongation - A5. By construction of the computer system being the goal of presented here work Case-based Reasoning is proposed to be used. Case-based Reasoning is the methodology within Artificial Intelligence techniques, which enables solving new problems basing on experiences that are solutions obtained in the past. Case-based Reasoning also enables incremental learning, because every new experience is retained each time in order to be available for future processes of problem solving. Proposed by the developed system solution can be used by a technologist as a rough solution for cooper alloys manufacturing problem, which requires further tests in order to confirm it correctness.

There is a growing demand for new high strength and high electrical conductivity materials for the advanced electric applications. The promising materials for generators used to produce strong and variable magnetic fields are Cu–Ag and Cu–Nb wires. Two classical copper alloys were selected for this investigation. The third material used in the studies was produced by bundle drawing of niobium wire in a copper tube. Microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties were examined in relation to processing technology. Microstructure of Cu–Ag wires consisted of silver-rich bands distributed in a copper-rich matrix, whereas that of the Cu–Nb alloy wire was not homogeneous. Despite significant plastic deformation, globular particles of niobium, which do not contribute to the increase of mechanical properties, were also observed in addition to narrow bands of niobium-rich phase. Multiple drawing of Nb wire bundle in a copper jacket is a promising method for the production of Cu–Nb microcomposites. The number of wires increases in geometric progression during subsequent bundling, which results in the reduction of Nb band cross-section. Under this work, a wire having more than 820,000 niobium filaments of a diameter between 100 and 200 nm evenly distributed in a pure copper matrix was produced.

This study was aimed at investigation of microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of Cu-Nb composite wires. The investigated materials have been processed by vacuum furnace melting and casting, and then hot forging and cold drawing. Initial results of research into Cu-Nb composite material obtained using repeated iterative drawing of niobium wires compacted into copper tube, have been also presented in this article. The ultimate tensile strength versus cold deformation degree has been presented. These changes have been discussed in relation to microstructure evolution. It was assumed that repeated drawing of compacted wires is a promising method for fibrous composite production (more than 823,000 Nb fibres of nanometric diameter) characterized by high mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. Original SPD technique applied for Cu-Nb composite deformation result in initial microstructure refinement and improves effectiveness of wire production process.

Investment casting technology belongs to the oldest casting techniques. Historically, it was used for casting tools, weapons and ornaments. A model, made from beeswax, was covered in loam, dried and fired. The casts obtained were characterised by high surface smoothness, accuracy and precision of its ornaments. This method was used for relatively small casts as well as for big monuments. Nowadays, this technology is used in many fields of manufacturing, both artistic and industrial, especially in ornaments, aviation, automotive, power, construction and even space industry. This work presents the results of research and experiments conducted in the field of casting technology of copper and copper alloys, applying the investment casting method, both in its historical aspect and modern industrial practice. An exemplary analysis was presented of the chosen elements of the old technologies, moulds and casts, as well as the results of casts made currently for the power industry. The casts quality was evaluated based on the research of their microstructure, chemical composition, electrical conductivity and oxygen content.

The study presents the results of research aimed at the construction of a model of the relationship between the physical properties of metal and the types of toughening treatment and modifiers used in the modification of BA1044 alloy. Samples of melts were subjected to four variants of the heat treatment and to five types of modification. Studies of the samples consisted in measurements of five physical parameters. Consequently, it was necessary to seek a relationship between the nine input parameters and five output parameters. With this number of the variables and a limited number of samples, searching for the relationships by way of statistical methods was obviously impossible, so it was decided to create an approximate model through the use of fuzzy logic. This study describes the process of creating a model and presents the results of some simulation experiments that confirm the validity of the correct approach.
