Povzetek: Aluminium alloys are highly valued for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them a preferred choice in structural applications. Among these alloys, EN AW 7075 stands out for its superior mechanical properties, finding widespread use in industries such as aerospace, mechanical engineering, and sports equipment. This study investigates the high-temperature oxidation behavior of EN AW 7075 alloy. The gathered results can provide valuable insights into the behavior of the mentioned alloy during the selective laser melting (SLM) process. These results can contribute to a better understanding of how the alloy responds to specific conditions and parameters. SLM is an additive manufacturing technique. The process involves the sequential steps of preheating, melting, and rapid cooling of metal powder. To minimize the influence of oxygen, the build chamber is filled with inert gas. A protective argon atmosphere is continuously maintained. However, despite these precautions, oxidation can still occur, leading to potential issues in the final product. Hence, we examined the oxidation kinetics of the EN AW 7075 alloy in an oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range of 300-500 °C. The findings of this investigation significantly contribute to an understanding of the behavior of the alloy during high-temperature oxidation, particularly for ongoing studies focused on processing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys using the selective laser melting technique. Thermogravimetry was employed to analyze the oxidizing behavior, with three samples subjected to a 6-hour exposure in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 °C. Surprisingly, no oxidation occurred, as indicated by the negligible and negative changes in mass observed across all samples.

Povzetek: This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the formation, composition and behaviour of oxide layers during the high-temperature oxidation of four different steel alloys (16Mo3, 13Cr, T24 and P91) at a uniform temperature of 650 °C. The study is aimed at assessing the oxidation damage due to short-term overheating. The research combines CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) calculations, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and advanced microscopy techniques, in- cluding scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), to elucidate the complex mechanisms controlling oxidation kinetics and oxide layer development. CALPHAD calculations were used to determine the thermodynamically stable phases for each steel type at 650 ◦C and different oxygen activities. The results showed different phase compositions, highlighting the importance of the chromium content in steel for the formation of oxide layers. The different oxidation kinetics and oxide layer compositions are presented and associated with the increased risk of material degradation due to overheating. These results have significant implications for industrial applications, mainly the susceptibility to oxidation of low-alloyed steels like 16Mo3 and 13 Cr and contribute to a deeper understanding of oxidation processes in steels.

Povzetek: Alkali-activated foams (AAFs) present one of the most promising materials for use in the construction sector. Their main advantages lie in their utilization of waste material and their ability to form at temperatures well below 100 °C, while still competing in performance with foamed glass or ceramics. The present body of research has focused on improving the thermal stability of fly-ash foams by i) adding metakaolin, and ii) changing the activator from sodium-based to potassium-based components. It has been confirmed that a certain increase in thermal resistance is achieved through the addition of metakaolin while changing activators played a crucial role. While sodium-based AAFs without metakaolin start to shrink at approximately 600 °C, samples that have had metakaolin added start to shrink at approximately 700 °C. Samples without metakaolin that have used a potassium activator start to shrink at approximately 800 °C, whereas potassium-based samples with the addition of metakaolin start to shrink at approximately 900 °C.
