This diploma thesis is focused on corrosion degradation of technical materials used for fire trucks production. It describes what is corrosion, corrosion environment and protection against effects of corrosion. Further, the thesis describes methods of joining materials in the production of fire tank trucks. In the experimental part the thesis deals with the examination of samples during mechanical and corrosion tests with subsequent evaluation. The examined samples are exposed to the effects of salt mist and then subjected to tensile testing. The most suitable method of joining materials for the construction of fire tank trucks is verified here.

Diploma thesis is focused on analysis of welded joints of ordinary carbon steel with corrosion-resistant, made by commercially available methods TIG, WIG, MMA and spot welding. Thesis describes welding methods used in heavy and light industry in detail. Next section describes creation of homogeneous welds based A-F, suitable methods and problems with these welding seams. Experimental part deals with creating a transition weld joints between 1.0330 and 1.4301 materials and comparing of their quality. Welds are subjected to the effects of salt fog and then degradation of the transition zone was observed caused by corrosion. Subsequently, the welds are subjected to metallographic examination, a tensile test, and the resulted weld metal is analyzed in Schaeffler diagram.

Magnesium and its alloys have many interesting properties and thanks to them it can be used in many applications (transport industry, medicine etc.). Disadvantage of these materials is their high corrosion rate. For this reason, there is an effort to achieve high corrosion resistance through different modifications of magnesium and its alloys. In recent years the superhydrophobization of the surface seem to be an attractive solution for this question. This type surface modification minimalize contact between the surface and water. In this diploma thesis the superhydrophobic surface was created on the magnesium alloy AZ91. The first step included pretreatment of AZ91 surface by etching in solution of SnCl2 or ZnCl2. Next step was superhydrophobization in the ethanolic solution of stearic acid. The surface morphology and elemental analysis of the superhydrophobic coating were explored by use of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The adhesion properties of the coating on the AZ91 were analysed by means of scratching test. Contact and sliding angles were measured for superhydrophobic coatings. Electrochemical characterization of the coatings was determined using potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Finally, the analysis of composition and the functional groups was made using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the phase composition analysis was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the coatings prepared by etching did not lead to good corrosion properties, even though the value of contact angle was about 150 °. The reduction of corrosion resistance could be caused by not obtaining required surface morphology or insufficient binding of stearic acid in the form of stearate to the sample surface.

The thesis focuses on the corrosion research of AlCu4Mg1 aluminium alloys of square shape and sheet metal coated in 99.5% aluminium. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of aluminium, the classification and naming of aluminium alloys and the impact of admixtures on aluminium alloys. In the following chapter a general introduction to metal corrosion, its differentiation according to the type of corrosion attack, mechanisms of corrosion, the impact of corrosive environment, according to the choice of anti-corrosion protection, etc. is given. The main part is devoted to the corrosion of aluminium with a special importance of the impact of admixtures on aluminium alloys, the types of corrosion attack, the impact of corrosive environment as well as of the anti-corrosion protection of aluminium alloys. The corrosion tests in controlled atmosphere are considered in the next chapter, while the last one deals with the evaluation methodology of the process of corrosion. At the beginning of the experimental part all the used samples and materials are introduced. The thesis continues then with an overview and a description of the methods used for experiments. The measurement procedure and the results of the experiments are presented in the following chapter that focuses on the metallographic analysis of the aluminium alloy samples before the experiment and after the corrosion attack. The main part of the chapter deals with the dependence of corrosion speed of the individual aluminium alloy samples on time after being exposed in the climate chamber and the salt fog chamber

Diploma thesis is worked-up as a part of master’s studies of engineering technology M2I – K, analyzing the possible methods of surface treatment of spherical pin, that increase its corrosion resistance. Spherical pin is mounted into several types of chassis components such as joints, control arms, etc. The current situation is inconvenient for manufacturers, insufficient corrosion protection increases the number of complaints and this may be reflected in the number of future orders. Via of suitable surface treatment is to achieve a higher corrosion resistance while maintaining the functional properties of pins used.
