During this period, precipitate particle behaviors in austenitic stainless steel (containing ferrite) will cause a reduction in ductility, which can lead to material cracking. In this study, the effects of aging at 800 ◦C on the microstructure, impact toughness and microhardness of Z2CND18-12N austenitic stainless steel were systematically investigated. The precipitation processes of the χ and σ phases were characterized by color metallography and back scattered electron (BSE) signals. The toughness was investigated by the Charpy impact test. After the aging treatment, the χ and σ phases precipitated successively in the ferrite, and as the aging duration increased, the χ-phase dissolved and the σ-phase precipitated along the austenite grain boundaries. These all lead to a decrease in toughness and an increase in microhardness. Finally, the relationship between fracture morphology and aging time is discussed herein, and a crack mechanism is given. Keywords: austenitic stainless steel; high temperature aging treatment; δ-ferrite; σ-phase; impact toughness 1.

Abstract: The work deals with the evaluation of biochar samples prepared from Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens bamboo. This evaluation consists of the characterization of prepared materials’ structural properties, batch and dynamic sorption experiments, and potentiometric titrations. The 99m − batch technique was focused on obtaining basic sorption data of TcO4 on biochar samples − including influence of pH, contact time, and Freundlich isotherm. ReO4 , which has very similar 99m − chemical properties to TcO4 , was used as a carrier in the experiments. Theoretical modeling of titration curves of biochar samples was based on the application of surface complexation models, namely, so called Chemical Equilibrium Model (CEM) and Ion Exchange Model (IExM). In this case it is assumed that there are two types of surface groups, namely, the so-called layer and edge sites. The dynamic experimental data of sorption curves were fitted by a model based on complementary error function erfc(x).

    PANORAMA OF THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC 2018 ISBN 978-80-906942-7-9 INTRODUCTION BY THE MINISTER INTRODUCTION BY THE MINISTER Dear readers, I am pleased to present what is already the twenty-second edition of the publication “Panorama of the Manufacturing Industry of the Czech Republic”. It has been prepared for you by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in cooperation with the Czech Statistical Office and with the assistance of the Ministry of- Agri culture, selected unions and associations. The publication describes individual divisions of the manufacturing industry of the Czech Republic. It is divided into three areas of the classification of CZ-NACE activities and classification of CZ-CPA commodity external trade. It reflects developments from 2008 to 2018. In this publication we present an overview of the current situation and the level of the industry and its divisions. The development of the Czech economy in 2018 met expectations, and the economy hit the borders of its limits. GDP for the whole of 2018 grew by 3%. Compared to the 4.4% achieved in 2017, this is a signif- icant slowdown, caused by both a lack of work and production capacities and increasing uncertainties in the external environment. In particular, the labour market situation showed clear signs of overheating, which were reflected in record low levels of unemployment rates and high levels of work activity. The total employment rate has already exceeded 75% and has thus reached the highest value in the history of the Czech Republic. At the same time, the general unemployment rate, which was 2.2% in December, de- creased and remained the lowest in the EU.

    Article Microstructural Surface Properties of Drifting Seeds—A Model for Non-Toxic Antifouling Solutions Antje Clasen 1,* and Antonia B. Kesel 2 1 Institute of Environmental and Biotechnology, City University of Applied Sciences, 28199 Bremen, Germany 2 Biomimetics-Innovation-Center, City University of Applied Sciences, 28199 Bremen, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-421-5905-2312 Received: 30 January 2019; Accepted: 6 May 2019; Published: 13 May 2019 Abstract: A major challenge in the shipping and marine industry is the biofouling on under water surfaces. So far, biocides have been the main remedy for the prevention of the adhesion of microorganisms that is also influenced by surface topography. In recent years, research projects have explored microstructured surfaces as a non-toxic antifouling strategy. In this study, physical factors of surfaces of seeds of 43 plant species were analyzed with regards to their antifouling effects. After exposure to cold water of the North Sea during the swarming periods of the barnacles larvae, the surface microstructures of seeds without fouling of barnacles were identified and compared with each other, using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In order to validate the findings, selected microstructured surface structure properties were transferred to technical surfaces with a 2-component silicon system and subjected to the same conditions. The results of the analyses confirmed that drifting seeds with specific microstructural surface structure properties promote biofouling defense of epibionts. These results serve as a starting point for the development of non- toxic antifouling agents based on the interaction of microstructures and geometric shapes.

The results of the finite element modeling of the Gershman, I.S.; Locks, E.; Paiva, J.M.; stress/temperature profiles on the friction surface are laid out. This study was performed on a Endrino, J.L.; Dosbaeva, G.; Veldhuis, multilayer coating with the top alumina ceramic layer deposited by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) S. The Relationship between Cyclic on a WC/Co carbide substrate. A detailed analysis of the wear process was conducted by 3D Multi-Scale Self-Organized Processes wear evaluation, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and Wear-Induced Surface and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Phenomena under Severe Tribological methods.
