• Characterisation of CVD Niobium Carbine Coatings on Hard Carbide Substrate 

      Constantinescu, Stela; Vlad, Maria; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2012)
      Hard coatings are often used for mechanical properties such as wear and friction resistance. The corrosion behaviour may also be an important criterion for industrial applications of these coatings. In this paper, the ...
    • Correlation Between the Properties of Old Slags and the Recycling Solutions 

      Ciocan, Anişoara; Potecaşu, Florentina; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2014)
      The blast furnace and basic oxygen furnace route of steel making (from iron ores and coke to steel) or the so called integrated steel production generates simultaneously solid waste products. The slag is predominant, ...
    • Corrosion Behavior of Ni-P Coated Steel Strips 

      Istrate, Gina Genoveva; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2015)
      In addition to high hardness, Ni-P coatings obtained by the electroless method are widely used due to their high corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance depends on the content of phosphorus in the coating. Various ...
    • Dust Emissions from an Integrated Steel Mill in Correlation with Human Exposure and their Adverse Health Effects 

      Ciocan, Anișoara; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunăreade Jos" din Galați, 2013)
      Many of the metallurgical operations contribute to generation of the dust emissions if these are not properly controlled and managed. The relevant sectors as important sources for airborne dust are: coke oven plant, ...
    • Effect of ZrO2 Nanoparticles on the Mechanical and Anticorrosion Properties of epoxy Coating 

      Panaite, Viorel; Mușat, Viorica; Boiciuc, SDimona; Istrate, Gina Genoveva; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2013)
      Homogeneous epoxy coatings containing ZrO2 nanoparticles were applied on Grade A naval steel substrates. The morphology of the coating was characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The effect ...
    • Environmental Risk Assessment for Thermal Power Plants 

      Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galați, 2015)
      Thermal power plants still represent an important source of energy both in Romania and in Europe. Risks on the environment are primarily generated by the noxae generated from combustion of fossil fuels, namely: noxious ...
    • The Influence of Cold Rolling on the Mechanical Characteristics for Drawing Steels 

      Potecaşu, Octavian; Potecaşu, Florentina; Alexandru, Petrică; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2008)
      The paper presents the changes of the mechanical and technological characteristics of steel for deep drawing, cold rolled and recrystallization heat treated. The research was conducted on samples taken from cold rolled ...
    • The Influence of the Steel's Surface Quality on the Electroless Ni-P Coatings 

      Potecasu, Florentina; Radu, Tamara (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2015)
      The method of autocatalytic reduction coating assures a precise reproduction of the coated surface. This is an advantage when the support surface has a complex geometry but also becomes a disadvantage because it requires ...
