The work is aimed at studying corrosion and fatigue properties of aluminum alloys by means of acoustic emission (AE). During material degradation are acoustic events scanned and evaluated. The main objective of the article is a description of behavior of aluminum alloys degraded in specific conditions and critical degradation stages determination. The first part of the article describes controlled degradation of the material in the crypto–conditions. The acoustic emission method is used for process analyzing. This part contains the AE signals assessment and comparing aluminium alloy to steel. Then the specimens are loaded on high-cyclic loading apparatus for fatigue life monitoring. Also, the synergy of fatigue and corrosion processes is taken into account.The aim is the description of fatigue properties for aluminum alloys that have already been corrosion-degraded. Attention is also focused on the structure of fatigue cracks. The main part of the article is aimed at corrosion degradation of aluminium alloys researched in real time by means of AE. The most important benefit of AE detection/recording is that it provides information about the process in real time. Using this measurement system is possible to observe the current status of the machines/devices and to prevent serious accidents.
VARNER, D., ČERNÝ, M., VARNER, M., FAJMAN, M.: Possible sources of acoustic emission during static bending test of wood specimens. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 3, pp. 199-206 The paper is dedicated to identifi cation of sources of acoustic emission generated during static bending test of wood specimen. Information on wood structure, wood failure behavior and computer-generated fi nite element method (FEM) simulation of static bending test were used to localize and estimate power of individual acoustic emission sources. Signifi cant acoustic emission sources are expected in the specimen in two areas: under the upper central support (during the entire bending test run) and in the tension portion of the specimen at the centre of lower baseline (at the fracture/destruction time). Strong acoustic emission sources were registered in tension portion of the specimen in direct connection with fi nal fracture of specimen.
For a rather long time, basic research projects have been focused on examinations of mechanical properties for Rapid Solidification Powder (RSP) steels. These state-of-art steels are commonly known as “powdered steels“. In fact, they combine distinctive attributes of conventional steel alloys with unusual resistance of construction material manufactured by so called “pseudo-powdered” metallurgy.Choice of suitable materials for experimental verification was carried out based on characteristic application of so called “modern steel”. First, groups of stainless and tool steel types (steel grades ČSN 17 and 19) were selected. These provided representative specimens for the actual comparison experiment. For stainless steel type, two steel types were chosen: hardenable X47Cr14 (ČSN 17 029) stainless steel and non-hardenable X2CrNiMo18-14-3 (ČSN 17 350) steel. They are suitable e.g. for surgical tools and replacements (respectively). For tooling materials, C80U (ČSN 19 152) carbon steel and American D2 highly-alloyed steel (ČSN “equivalent” being 19 572 steel) were chosen for the project. Finally, the M390 Böhler steel was chosen as representative of powdered (atomized) steels. The goal of this paper is to discuss structural aspects of modern stainless and tool steel types and to compare them against the steel made by the RSP method. Based on the paper's results, impact of powdered steel structural characteristics on the resistance to crack initiation shall be evaluated.
