        The goal of my dissertation future will improve the structural properties of magnesium alloys AZ 31 and AZ91, by establishing certain microstructural conditions. The main topic of the paper will examine the impact of thermomechanical strengthening of molded magnesium alloy to improve their propertie

        In the beginning of this month I took part in training concerning new software for 3D EBSD measurements. IT implements some new features. Additionally, it is much easier to use and (at least by now) appears to be more stable. Rest of the month was spent on further training and gaining experience in

        23/02/12
        During the last seminar, on January 20th, I had an opportunity to share with my colleagues the results of the research I did for my engineer’s degree. I earned the degree at the Faculty of Foundry Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, though I did most of the experimental work in th

        Acid textures on polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon wafers were made. Also monocrystalline wafers were different surface orientated (100) and (111). Texture mixture of HF:HNO3:CH3COOH had various volume ratio and led to different surface morphology examined using scanning electron microscop

        First month of a New Year 2012 I devoted to mechanical characterization of coatings functionalized with polyelectrolytes. I made a review of the literature in the field of film stiffness control methods and evaluation of the results. Properties of the coatings could be characterized using atomic for

        On 10th of February I have given a seminar on subjects regarding my previous work on maters thesis and also my plans connected to development of my PhD project.

        As for my master’s thesis, significant part of my work time was devoted to building ad development of a specialized research to

        Luckily, this month I have managed to finish first basic features of my software toolbox. It can correctly discover geometric character of any given boundary, is able to recognize whether boundaries are near-twist, near-tilt or symmetric. It can detect, for now only for cubic system, if the boundary

        My research in January:

        During the first month of the year I started to conduct experiments. At first I bought 10 kg of magnesium and 50g of calcium. I also used zinc, but it was from supplies of my supervisor. I cast 25g of Mg-Zn4 wt% alloy in the presence of argon atmosphere at 750 oC.

        January was rather heavy on didactic side of phd studies, which means that we had an exam to pass, and a couple of seminars to present, and preparation for these took a bit of time. However some scientific development also took place, mainly thanks to newly established cooperation with Professor Kor
