Charakterystyka warstw tlenkowych wytworzonych na stopie aluminium 7075 z zastosowaniem różnych metod AbstractAluminum and aluminum alloys are now being widely used as materials for structural applications due to a number of valuable properties. Improvement in the functional and decorative properties of aluminum can be obtained by forming an oxide layer on its surface. The aim of the present study was to produce and compare the properties of oxide layers on the surface of aluminum alloy 7075 and compare their properties. The methods that were used during the study were as follows: phosphating, micro-arc oxidation, and a chemical method involving the formation of a passive layer. The layers were subjected to corrosion tests. SEM and EDS methods were used for characterization of the received results. Also, some tests on an optical profilometer were done. It was proven that the micro-arc oxidation method allowed us to obtain a layer with the greatest thickness and highest corrosion resistance. Keywords: oxide layers, aluminum alloy 7075, micro-arc oxidation, phosphate coating, the chemical method StreszczenieGlin i jego stopy są obecnie powszechnie wykorzystywanym materiałem do zastosowań konstrukcyjnych ze względu stosunek masy do wytrzymałości. Poprawę własności funkcyjnych i dekoracyjnych aluminium uzyskać można przez wytworzenie warstwy tlenku na jego powierzchni. Celem badań było wytworzenie warstw tlenkowych na podłożu ze stopu aluminium 7075 i porównanie ich właściwości. Zastosowano trzy metody: fosforanowanie, micro-arc oxidation oraz metodę chemiczną polegającą na wytworzeniu warstwy pasywnej. Otrzymane powłoki poddano

The orthorhombic LaFeO3 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on silicon showed nano-structuration of their surface and preferential crystallographic exposed facets, depending on the deposition temperature. The LaFeO3 film deposited at 850°C has two types of grain termination, flat or tip-like, corresponding to two different growth directions, respectively [110] and [200]. Due to the shape of the termination, the same {110} facets are exposed. The LaFeO3 is iron deficient and consequently contains oxygen vacancies, the exact chemical formula being LaFe0.82O3-delta.

Our research focused on Inconel 625 weld overlays on 16Mo3 steel boiler pipes. The investigation focused on the characterization of changes in the microstructure and chemical composition after annealing. The annealing was performed for ten hours at temperatures from 600 to 1000°C. Changes in the microstructure were observed with a scanning and transmission electron microscope (SEM and TEM). The investigation was supplemented by hardness measurements.
