W artykule oceniono, czy na podstawie wyników otrzymywanych z przenośnego twardościomierza Leeba można w dokładny sposób określić wytrzymałość na rozciąganie, która jest podstawowym parametrem pozwalającym na ustalenie gatunku stali. Wykonano pomiary próbek z dwóch różnych gatunków stali, dwóch różnych grubości oraz o dwóch różnych stopniach przygotowania testowanej powierzchni stali. Sprawdzono, czy kierunek wykonywania uderzenia wpływa na otrzymywane wyniki oraz jaka jest zależność pomiędzy twardością stali a stanem naprężeń w badanym elemencie. Otrzymane wyniki na podstawie twardości Leeba porównano z wartością wytrzymałości na rozciąganie uzyskaną z maszyny wytrzymałościowej. Wykazano, że na potrzeby praktyczne możliwe jest ustalenie wytrzymałości na rozciąganie stali na podstawie pomiarów wykonywanych przenośnym twardościomierzem Leeba, wykorzystującym metodę dynamiczną pomiarów.

In this article, it was decided to check whether, based on the results obtained from a portable Leeb hardness tester, the value of tensile strength could be determined in an equally accurate way, so that it would be possible to determine the steel tensile strength. The measurements were performed for samples made of two different steel grades with different tensile strength, two different thicknesses and two different degrees of preparation of the tested steel surface. It was checked whether the direction of impact affects the results obtained and what is the relationship between the hardness of steel and the level of stress in the tested element. All obtained results based on Leeb hardness were compared with the tensile strength values obtained from the testing machine. It has been shown that for practical purposes it is possible to determine the steel tensile strength based on measurements performed with a portable Leeb hardness tester using the dynamic measurement method.

One of the biggest challenges facing a designer of paper structures is its low resistance to moisture and water. Paper is a hydrophilic material that absorbs moisture from the outside. This causes the hydrogen bonds between the cellulose molecules to loosen and as a result a rapid decrease in strength parameters. In order to be able to use paper as a construction material, there is a need to select and evaluate the effectiveness of the appropriate impregnant, as well as to know its impact on the mechanical properties of the impregnated paper. The paper analyzes the effect of the use of various impregnations, including wood oil, yacht lacquer, and fire-retardant agent impregnation, on the tensile strength of several types of cellulose-derived materials, e.g. corrugated board, solid board, paper cores, and honeycomb board. The effectiveness of the impregnation was also assessed using the method of measuring the contact angle of the reference and impregnated surfaces.

The subject of the article is the influence of filament moisture on the quality of products manufactured using the additive method using the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) method. Three types of thermoplastic polymers were tested: ABS, PLA and PET-G. The polymers were stored in environments with different humidity. The moisture content of the filament was determined as the water content in the material expressed as a percentage by weight. To obtain the expected humidity of the samples, they were conditioned for 7 days in tightly closed containers with constant humidity of 40%, 60% and 80%. After the sample conditioning process was completed, they were removed from the container and subjected to further tests. The influence of filament humidity on selected properties of manufactured products is presented, such as: surface quality of the obtained samples, tensile strength and dimensional repeatability. To sum up, the method of storing the filament affects the moisture content of the filament. The humidity of the filament, in turn, affects the quality of products manufactured using the FDM method, including: on: mechanical properties, dimensional stability, Surface appearance. Therefore, it is important in what conditions the filament is stored before the production process begins

Manufacturers always seek for quality and effective welding to stay competitive in the market. There is a continuous demand for a quick and efficient manufacturing set ups for new products. GMAW is among the welding processes that is wieldy used in the industry. Welding factors such as welding voltage, welding current, gas flow rate, filler wire size and welding speed play a significant role in determining the welding quality. Taguchi design uses optimization technique for the process of experimentation as an effort to improve productivity and enhance product quality. This study discusses the welding of commercial steel welded using GMAW. The welding was controlled by welding current, welding speed and groove shape to test their influence on the welding strength, tensile strength and hardness. X groove shape welding has obtained lower tensile strength and hardness than V groove shape as did higher welding current and lower welding speed. The results concluded that welding current welding had the highest influence on tensile strength and hardness of the welding, followed by groove shape, while the welding speed had the minimum influence. The optimized combination of welding factors is 170 A, V groove shape and 150 mm/min.

W artykule zaprezentowano wpływ pięciu rożnych redyspergowalnych proszków polimerowych (RPP) na wytrzymałość na rozciąganie (przyczepność w układzie wielowarstwowym) zapraw klejących do płytek ceramicznych (CTA), zawierających jako spoiwo wyłącznie cement wapniowo-siarczanoglinianowy (CSA). Wyniki badań wskazują, że dodatek RPP do zaprawy na bazie CSA powoduje wzrost wytrzymałości na rozciąganie oznaczanej jako przyczepność początkowa oraz po starzeniu termicznym. W przypadku wytrzymałości na rozciąganie próbek, badanych po zanurzeniu w wodzie, zaobserwowano różny wpływ w zależności od zastosowanego redyspergowalnego proszku polimerowego. Niezależnie od rodzaju RPP stwierdzono zmniejszenie wytrzymałości na rozciąganie próbek badanych po cyklach zamrażania i rozmrażania. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że istnieje możliwość opracowania zapraw klejących na bazie CSA, zawierających redyspergowalne proszki polimerowe, do stosowania wewnątrz pomieszczeń. Wyzwaniem badawczym, związanym z odpornością na zamrażanie, jest opracowanie CTA do zastosowania na zewnątrz obiektów.

EN

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of five different redispersible polymer powders (RDPs) on the tensile strength (adhesion in a multi-layer system) of ceramic tile adhesive mortars (CTAs) containing only calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) as a binder. The results show that the addition of RDPs to CSA-based mortar results in an increase in tensile strength determined as initial adhesion and as adhesion after thermal aging. In the case of tensile strength tested after immersion of the samples in water, different effects were observed depending on the RDPs used. Regardless of the redispersible polymer powder used, a reduction in tensile strength was noticeable for samples tested after freeze-thaw cycles. The study showed that it is possible to develop a CSA-based ceramic tile adhesive using redispersible polymer powders for indoor use. The research challenge, related to freeze-thaw resistance, is to develop a CTA for outdoor applications.

Ethiopia has abundant invasive aquatic plants like water hyacinth and water lily. Large masses of these invasive plants have a negative impact on the country’s water bodies, specifically at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, by infesting and deteriorating water quality and reducing the quantity of water. In this research work, an attempt was made to fabricate a natural fiber reinforced composite in which water lily fiber was used as the reinforcing material in a polyester resin matrix. Chopped water lily fiber reinforced polyester resin composites were prepared by varying the fiber content - 20, 40 and 60 wt.%. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength and flexural strength were tested as per ASTM standards to evaluate the influence of the fiber contents. The experimental results show that an increase in the fiber content enhanced the mechanical properties of the water lily fiber reinforced polyester composite. It was found that the composite with 40 wt.% fiber exhibited superior strength which could be suitably used for different applications.

Aluminium alloys have good mechanical and physical properties and are lightweight, easy to cast, and simple to machine. Aluminium alloys are widely used in the aviation industry, auto sector, defence sector, and structural industries because of their promising abilities. The fundamental aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of a stir cast hybrid aluminium nanocomposite reinforced with 1-3 wt.% cerium oxide (CeO2) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Utilizing SEM, microstructural analysis was carried out. The existence of the elements of the reinforcement in the manufactured nanocomposite specimens was verified using EDAX. With an increase in the reinforcement wt.%, improvements in the mechanical and physical properties were seen. In the hybrid nanocomposites reinforced with 3 wt.% GNPs and 3 wt.% CeO2, a low porosity of 1.06% was observed. The best results for tensile strength, yield strength, and microhardness were 398 MPa, 247 MPa, and 119.6 HV, respectively. The SEM micrographs of the studied materials showed that the reinforcement particles were uniformly dispersed and refined into ultrafine grains.

Najnowsze badania wskazują na to, że nanomateriały mogą częściowo zastąpić cement w kompozytach cementowych. Ostatnio zaproponowanym zamiennikiem cementu w betonie są nanokompozyty tlenku grafenu. W związku z tym, w tym badaniu laboratoryjnym, zsyntetyzowano nanocząstki FeNi3/SiO2/GO [NFSG] oraz nanocząstki SiO2 [NS] i potwierdzono za pomocą analiz FTIR, SEM i TEM ich właściwości. Następnie zastąpiono nimi częściowo cement w ilości 1, 2 i 3% jego masy i określono ich wpływ na właściwości mechaniczne i trwałość próbek w wieku 7, 28 i 90 dni. Wyniki sugerują, że składy o najlepszych właściwościach mechanicznych przyniosły najlepsze rezultaty. W betonach tych wprowadzono 2% NFSG i 2% NS jako zamienniki cementu. Po 28 dniach beton zawierający NFSG zwiększył wytrzymałość na ściskanie o 15% i wytrzymałość na rozciąganie przy rozłupywaniu o 13%. Widma FTIR wykazały, że próbka zawierająca 2% NFSG wytworzyła więcej żelu C-S-H, poprawiając mikrostrukturę betonu, a tym samym jego właściwości.

Recent research in the construction industry supports the idea that nanomaterials can partially replace cement. A recently suggested material as a suitable substitute for cement in concrete is graphene oxide nanocomposite. As a result, in this laboratory study, FeNi3/SiO2/GO nanoparticles [NFSG] and SiO2 nanoparticles [NS] partially replace cement by 1, 2, and 3% by mass after their synthesis and confirmation by FT-IR, SEM and TEM analyses and their impact on the mechanical and durability characteristics of the specimens at ages 7, 28, and 90 days were examined. The findings imply that the designs with the highest mechanical properties tests produced the best results. These designs used 2% of NFSG and 2% of NS substituting cement. After 28 days, NFSG-containing concrete increased compressive strength by 15% and splitting tensile strength by 13%. FTIR spectra demonstrated that specimen containing 2% of NFSG produced more C-S-H [calcium silicate hydrate] gel, improving the microstructure of concrete and subsequently its properties.

Sand Casting process depends mainly on properties of the green sand mould, sand casting requires producing green sand mould without failure and breakage during separation the mould from the model, transportation and handling. Production of the green sand mould corresponding to dimensions and form of the desired model without troubles depends on the properties of the green sand. Ratio of constituents, preparation method of the green sand, mixing and pressing processes determine properties of green sand. In the present work, study effect of the moulding parameters of bentonite content, mixing time, and compactability percentage on the properties of the green sand mould have been investigated. Design of experiments through Taguchi method was used to evaluate properties of permeability, compressive strength, and tensile strength of the green sand. It was found that 47% of compactability, 9(min) of mixing time, and 6% of bentonite content gives highest values of these properties simultaneously.

This work focuses on the study of the selective laser melting (SLM) fabrication parameter of AlSi10Mg specimen. SLM parameters such as Power and scanning speed are varied to identify the defect-free samples. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is carried out on the AM AlSi10Mg specimen to study the presence of phase. The results reveal that the Al matrix possesses (200), (220) and (311) phases whereas the AlSil0Mg powder has (111), (200), (220) and (311) phases. The microstructural characterization based on FESEM, TEM and EBSD analysis is carried out. The cross-section of the molten pool appears as a semi-cylindrical shape in the section that is parallel to the plane of powder deposition. The height, width and depth of the molten pool are measured as 150 ± 10 μm, 450 ± 10 μm and 50 ± 10 μm, respectively. TEM analysis reveals that the Si-precipitate and the eutectic Si element of the AM AlSi10Mg specimen are clearly formed in the AM AlSi10Mg specimen. Si precipitate spread within the grains whereas, the eutectic Si element is present at the grain boundary of the specimen. Then, the nanohardness and nanowear behavior are analyzed. Further, the influence of strain rate on the tensile strength is investigated. These mechanical tests are carried out on the defect-free AM AlSi10Mg specimen to assess its maximum performance. Very rough as well as irregular fracture surfaces are observed in the tensile test AM AlSi10Mg specimen. In addition to it, its magnified image reveals that the specimen fracture in the form of river patterns and contains a lot of micron-sized pores throughout the fracture surfaces.

A masonry basement wall was heavily dampened due to the lack of waterproofing in the ground contact area. Internal sand-lime wall plaster samples were subjected to chemical, physical and strength tests. The main phases of the damaged plaster were quartz and calcite. A measuring method of the tensile strength of plasters was proposed. A polar-symmetric deformation problem of a thick-walled spherical tank, allowing for the estimation of circumferential stresses in the spherical model was used for the analysis. It was found that the same values of porosity correspond to identical values of circumferential stresses, regardless of the values of the radii of the analyzed model. Thus the purpose of the presented research was to demonstrate that the mentioned dependence applied in the adopted model may be useful for the analysis of problems involving the resistance of internal plaster structure to the expansion caused by crystallization pressure.

The widespread use of composite materials in the construction of machines encourages to better understand their properties and the impact of various external factors on these properties. Fibre metal laminates (FMLs) consist of alternating layers of metal and a polymer matrix laminate reinforced with continuous fibres. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cyclical temperature changes and thermal shocks (heating the sample to a high temperature in a short time) on the strength properties of FMLs from AW-1050A aluminium sheet, glass fibre fabric and carbon fibre fabric. The research concerns the determination of how cyclical temperature changes affect the tensile strengths properties of FMLs. The results indicate a small effect of the cycles on the tensile strength of the composites. The composites with glass fibre reinforced laminate also showed high resistance to delamination, moreover, the samples did not delaminate even after they were broken. The carbon fibre reinforced laminate composites showed a tendency to delaminate after heat treatment.

This study investigated the mechanical and corrosion properties of Friction Stir Welded (FSW) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded phosphor bronze (CuSn4) joints. Corrosion tests were conducted on the welded joints, and the percentage of weight loss due to corrosion was measured at different time intervals. Results revealed that the percentage of weight loss due to corrosion of the TIG joint increased with time, whereas the percentage of weight loss due to corrosion of the FSW welded joint remained constant. This could be attributed to recrystallisation that happened in the solid-state welding, which reduced corrosion in the FSW welded joint. In addition, tensile tests were conducted to evaluate the strength of the joints. FSW with a spindle speed of 1300 rpm, weld speed of 0.06mm/sec, plunge depth of 0.25mm, pin profile of pentagon, and flat shoulder profile was found to produce good results. TIG welding with a welding speed of 1.75mm/sec, a gas flow rate of 7.5 cm3/min and an amperage of 120A also produced good results. The tensile strength of FSW was found to be approximately 1.6 times higher than that of TIG welding.

The effect of unmodified and stearic acid-modified calcium carbonate (5, 10, 20 and 30 wt%) on selected properties (tensile strength, puncture resistance, haze and gloss) and processability of polypropylene films (MVR, extensional viscosity) was investigated. The composites were obtained in the twin-screw extrusion process with cold granulation, and the films in the single-screw extrusion process, using a flat die head (so-called cast films) and a chill roll type cooling and pull-back device. It has been shown that stearic acid is an effective modifier of polypropylene processing properties both under shear and tensile flow conditions (lower extensional viscosity of films containing modified calcium carbonate).

The presence of particles and fibers as reinforcement in a polymer matrix greatly enhances the mechanical properties. Agricultural residues and natural fibers are commonly used nowadays due to the fact that they easily decompose even after a longer period and they are eco-friendly in nature. f Fiber that was extracted from stem of Calotropis gigantea was selected as reinforcement in the present investigation. Initially the fiber was treated with a sodium hydroxide solution and CG fiber-epoxy composites were prepared. The properties of alkaline treated CG fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were further improved by the addition of particles such as chitosan, red mud and rice husk. Properties such as the tensile strength, flexural strength, impact toughness, hardness, water absorption, thickness swelling behaviour, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were evaluated and compared. The XRD pattern of the chemically treated CG fiber-reinforced parrticle-filled epoxy composites was presented in the present study.

In this work, 25 wheels were cast with three different grain refiners: Al5Ti1B, Al3Nb1B and MTS 1582. Samples were machined from the wheels to check the mechanical properties. It was found that Nb grain refinement had the lowest grain size (260 mm) and highest tensile properties (yield strength of 119-124 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 190-209 MPa). Al5Ti1B and MTS 1582 revealed quite similar results (110 MPa yield and 198 MPa ultimate tensile strength). The fading of the grain refining effect of Al5TiB1 master alloy was observed in both Nb and Ti added castings whereas during the investigated time interval, the fading was not observed when MTS 1582 was used.
