Cojocaru Mihai, Cecilia Tarcan, Gostin Flaviu, Coman Cristi, Chis Mircea: Functional gradient hard alloys intended for mining industry

Metalurgia International (vol. XI), no.4, 2006, p. 5

Production of metallic carbides by Powder Metallurgy (PM) is on high demand, as a stable attraction on PM market. Increasing tool’s life, mechanical and machining process productivity can be achieved by improving the actual performances of the main types of materials used in tool fabrication i.e. sintered hard alloys. Controlled modifications of chemical and phase composition on classical materials accomplish these objectives, when new solution of functional gradient hard alloy materials (FGHAM) based on sintered techniques are used.

The paper introduces the method of control/modification of chemical and phase composition on hard Tungsten carbides WC based alloys, in the presence of a functional gradient element i.e. Cobalt to induce the complex of properties required by the excessive stresses and vibration of rotating/hammer mining equipment. New class of materials have been used in this research to achieve the most representative, reliable, and performing mechanical mining tool. A series of comparative test results, in comparison with literature are presented, certifying its high class superiority.

Agop Maricel, Vizureanu Petrică, Corina Marin, Iuliana Oprea: Superconductivity by means of the scale relativity theory

Metalurgia International (vol. XI), no.4, 2006, p. 13

One gets some interesting results if introduces the hydrodynamic formulation of scale relativity theory, for a coherent quantum fluid, into the TDGL equation, which describes superconductivity. The London gauge and the zero momentum of the Copper pairs (i.e. the London equations) arise naturally from the imaginary parts of the computed system. One gets a particular relation between the diffusion coefficient,    the    (dimensionless)  friction coefficient and the (dimensionless) Ginzburg-Landau parameter which yields a new natural gauge for the TDGL equation (as postulated by some authors). If one makes the value of the real velocity of the Copper pairs to go to zero, the imaginary velocity of the pairs becomes real. The subquantic potential gets a simple expression and is proportional to the density of the    Copper     pairs.     Moreover, it can be stated that the

superconductor under special circumstances acts like a subquantic medium energy accumulator.

Key words: foundry equipment, crusher, 3D modelling

Chichernea Florin:  3-d modelling of foundry equipment. part II

Metalurgia International (vol. XI), no.4, 2006, p. 30

Going beyond classical design models of equipment in general and foundry equipment in particular may lead  to a spectacular leap in this field. This dose not imply the complete elimination of what has been achieved to date, but a continuation of the stage of classical design by applying modern  3D computer aided design methods.

Currently, give the large range of available 3D modelling and designing software, the work of the designing engineer can reach 80-90% efficiency, with results close to realty.

JUHASZ I., BUZATU M., Mariana  ZSIGMOND: Foaming agent pre-treatment for alloys of aluminium foams

Metalurgia International (vol. XI), no.4, 2006, p. 35

The powder compact melting technique for aluminium foam production as practised today accepts a certain mismatch between foaming agent decomposition and matrix alloy melting temperatures. This mismatch is believed to influence the pore structure in an unfavourable way.

Adjustment of TiH2 decomposition as well as liquidus and solidus temperatures of matrix alloys can be used to counteract it. Effects of TiH2 thermal are investigated using thermal analysis. TiH2 variants gained via annealing treatments were used to produce aluminium foam precursor materials.

JUHASZ I.: Matrix alloys for production of aluminium foams

Metalurgia International (vol. XI), no.4, 2006, p. 39

As matrix for these specimens, aluminium based alloys with low liquidus and solidus temperatures were selected. Alloy systems considered include established combinations of aluminium with Cu, Mg, Si and Zn as well as special quaternary mixtures of these elements. First examinations presented include thermal analysis of alloys as well studies on expansion vs. time and temperature relationships of precursor material based on new alloys and foaming agent variants.
