The phenomenon of spontaneous dispersion is considered as the cause of the microstratification of metal melts. In a microstratification melt, a violation of long-range order in the arrangement of atoms (LRO) is observed, which corresponds to a dispersed particle size of more than 2 nm. Microseparati

This work describes the optimization of the one-pot synthesis of fine core–shell nanostructures based on nanogold (Au NPs) and silica (SiO2). The obtained core–shell nanomaterials were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM and by the method of spectroscopes such as UV&nd
In recent years, the potential of waste engine oil (WEO) as a rejuvenator for aged asphalt binders has gained significant attention. Despite this interest, understanding WEO’s regeneration mechanism within aged asphalt binders, particularly its diffusion behavior when mixed with both aged and
To reduce drying shrinkage of AASC mortar (AASM), mixed aggregate mixed with river sand (RS) and silica sand in three sizes was used to investigate the effect of the physical properties of mixed aggregate on shrinkage reduction. A mixture of river sand (0.2–0.8 mm), S1 (2.5–5.0 mm), S2 (
The authors present the results of laboratory tests analysing the impact of selected cutting data and tool geometry on surface quality, chip type and cutting forces in the process of orthogonal turning of sintered cobalt. The selected cutting data are cutting speed and feed rate. During the experime
