The first group will consist of carbon steel with carbon content up to 0.7 wt%, the second groups will be low-alloy steels, and the third group will be the medium alloy steels. These materials will be treated by recommended conventional heat procedures. Subsequently, the materials will be subjected to the treatment by laser beam in order to melting the surface or heating the surface to the selected temperature of austenite as a function of technological parameters of laser hardening and to deep cryogenic treatment in order to remove residual stresses, achieve the transformation of retained austenite and modify the dislocation structure and carbon distribution in the martensitic solid solution. For each material variations, optimal parameters of laser and cryogenic treatments will be defined in order to improve the main mechanical properties of investigated tool steel. |

| Annotation: | The project will address the issue of the use of methods and procedures for the modification of cutting tools for wood processing in forestry. The result will be an increase in their lifetime and a reduction in emissions and energy consumption of forestry machinery and equipment. The main objects of research will be tools for primary wood processing, modification and processing of forestry biomass for energy purposes, such as splitting and chipping tools, tools for cross-cutting wood, etc. The main task of the project will be the design of procedures and methods for the modification of exposed functional surfaces of the tools. Ensuring a higher quality of functional tool surfaces in the context of reducing friction and eliminating adhesion, provides a prerequisite for reducing the load on machinery equipment and thus reducing emissions and energy consumption in a given production. Analyses will be carried out on the tools – FEM analysis in order to determine the stress-strain state, on the samples analysis of the state of the material in terms of physical properties, microstructure, mechanical properties and resistance to adhesive wear in wood-metal interaction and also abrasive wear. Based on the results of the analyses carried out, innovative surface treatment procedures will be proposed for the exposed functional surfaces to guarantee an increase in their functional lifetime. These will be applied to samples and laboratory tested by relevant test procedures. From the results of the laboratory tests, a selection will be made of the most appropriate non-conventional innovative procedures, which will be applied to the tools and tested on the equipment under forestry operating conditions. In doing so, it will be observed how the modifications in question affect the energy consumption of forestry machinery and equipment. Part of the project solution will be to ensure industrial-legal protection of the original solutions. |

A significant direction in which the world is currently moving in this area is thereplacement of internal combustion engines with electric car drives. This fact has led and it is still leading to a greatexpansion in the production of car batteries, which would allow the longest possible range of electric cars. Besidesthe capacity of the batteries, the efficient use of stored energy in electric vehicle drives has a significant effect onthe range of cars as well. This project aims to reduce losses and increase the efficiency of electric drives.Increased efficiency and reduced losses can be achieved by reducing the losses in the materials of the rotors andstators of rotating electrical machines, but also by reducing the losses that occur when changing the properties of the source material during cutting and subsequent joining into rotor and stator bundles. Experimental research will focus on optimizing the microstructure and texture of various grades of electrical sheets in order to minimize electromagnetic losses and optimize the conditions for the production of rotor and stator bundles by cutting and subsequent joining. The optimization of the conditions of joining electrical sheets of various chemical and microstructural concepts will be the expected output of the project. The magnetic properties of the joined electrical sheet cut-outs will be compared with the magnetic properties of the lamellas produced by electrospark cutting. |

| Annotation: | In this project, for the production of high strength electrical steel type “finish”, we aim to propose an original concept of chemical composition and microstructural design with the desirable crystallographic texture which would beprovided a combination of excellent electro-magnetic and high strength properties. The strength properties will be provided by high alloying of steels which are based on substituents elements with Si content from 3 to 3,5 wt.%, Alcontent from 0,5 to 1,5 wt.%, Cu content up to 0,5 wt.%, and P content up 0,10 wt.%. The low value of watt losses and high level of magnetic induction will be achieved by means of coarse-grained columnar or coarse-grained equiaxial microstructure with average grain size in the range from 150 to 300μm and with increased intensity of cube and Goss texture components at the expense of deformation texture. The evolution of the final microstructure will be based on the use of the strain-induced growth of ferrite grains through the thickness of the sheet from itssurface to the central part. At the same time, we want to eliminate the liability to the brittle failure of materials during the cold rolling. It will be realised by optimization of previous thermal deformation exposures in the hot rollingprocess as well as optimization of deformation process of cold rolling with "tailor-made" parameters of rolled steel.The development steel will be used in traction engines of electric vehicles and in high-speed electric motors withhigh requirement for the power. |

Joints will be prepared at various technology conditions (weld metal, heat input) with two approaches of the post weld heat treatment (PWHT), namely: austenitization+tempering and tempering without austenitization. On the base of the microstructural evaluation, calculations of residual stresses, and results of mechanical tests (hardness, tensile tests at 20 adn 600°C, short trem crep test) the possibility of the omission of austenitization will be judged, that could result in decisive economical effect – energy savings and avoiding using of a large furnace for the treatmet at the temperatures above 1000°C. Experimental assesment of phase composition and thermodynamic calculations of equilibrium phases enable the investigated steels phase evolution diagrams constuction. The study of the influence of deformation on precipitation of phases in tube bends in relationship with the heat treatment used and resulted property changes is the second scope of the project, aimed to the HT optimization. |

| APVV99-045105 – Zvariteľnosť žiarupevných ocelí novej generácieí pre energetické celky s vyššou účinnosťou | |
| Weldability of new generation creep steels for high efficiency power plant units | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | Ing. Výrostková Anna, CSc. |
| Annotation: | The project is focussed on the study of new creep strength steels weldability and possibilities of their application. It is devided in three tasks (ČÚ). The first one is devoted to the question of weldability and welding of new creep strength steels, the second deals with the study of residual stresses evolution during the production and repair of energy components. The last task deals with the mechanisms of cracking of the weld joints of the new generation. The result of ČÚ 1 will be a proposal of suitable heterogeneous weld combinations to be used in innovated energy units. ČÚ 2 will lead to the suggestion of the welding technology and selection of filler metals ensuring minimal level of residual stresses during the production and repair of energy units, respectivelly. The mechanism of cracks originating in weld joints in the service at supercritical conditions will be a result of the ČÚ 3. |

| Thermodynamic analysis of binary and ternary systems with boron | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Homolová Viera, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The scientific project is oriented to extension of knowledge about influence of boron on formation and development of phases. The using of boron as an alloying element in alloys for different proposes has had an increasing tendency. In the proposed project the systems B-V and Fe-B-V will be studied, in which vanadium as a strong boride-forming element forms stabile borides with high melting temperatures, high hardness, and wear resistance. Main aim of the project is to develop the set of thermodynamic data on the base the experimental and theoretical study of phase and phase equilibria, allowing to calculate phase equilibria and phase diagrams for the investigated systems. It contributes to the development of extensive database of thermodynamic data for prediction of phase equilibria for wide range of systems. Acquired data will have wide application for thermodynamic and kinetic modelling at the study and development of materials. |
