This master’s thesis deals with suggestion of production of sheet metal cover in Limid Mohelno s.r.o. Piece serves as cover of regulation device of rail vehicles with visual function and it’s manufactured from corrosion-resistant steel ČSN 17 240 with thickness 1 mm. Esthetical impression is ensured by grinded surface K240. The master’s thesis includes literary studies and problems of chosen technologies, technological calculations and choice of machines including tools. As the best manufacturing technology was chosen punching on TruPunch 1000 and bending on press brake SafanDarley E-Brake E-100. Technical and economical evaluation was made based on selected technology and compared with another manufacturing options.

The dissertation thesis deals with the study of non-destructive acoustic methods as instruments for monitoring and analysing corrosion of reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete elements. Four acoustic methods were selected for this task - the impact-echo method, the nonlinear acoustic spectroscopy method, the acoustic emission method, and the ultrasonic pulse velocity method. To verify the functionality of these methods, testing was carried out on three sets of reinforced concrete samples that had been exposed to the effects of sodium chloride, which corroded the embedded steel reinforcement in these samples. Suitable parameters were proposed for individual acoustic methods to monitor corrosion of the reinforcements. In addition, experiments were designed to demonstrate the ability of the selected acoustic methods to reveal the corrosion of steel reinforcement and its influence on the concrete matrix and to assess the condition of the degraded elements and structures. The analysis of the measurement results based on their comparison shows the advantages and disadvantages of the individual methods and of their practical applications. To verify the results, correlation with common methods that are currently used for the study of corrosion was carried out and included for example the electrical resistivity measurement of the reinforcement and simultaneous monitoring of the sample surface using a confocal microscope to record the development of microcracks during the degradation.

In the work, it is studied almost carbon-free corrosion-resistant Fe-Cr-Ni-based steel, with the additional alloying with cobalt, molybdenum, aluminum and titanium, with high ductility and processability in production of high-strength wire. / В настоящей работе проводятся исследования новой практически безуглеродистой коррозионно-стойкой стали на Fe-Cr-Ni основе, с дополнительным легированием кобальтом, молибденом, алюминием и титаном, обладающей высокой пластичностью и технологичностью при производстве высокопрочной проволоки.
