The research and development of modern metallic materials imparts not only the introduction of innovative alloys and compounds, but also the increasing lifetime of existing materials via optimized deformation processing. Among the essential features of progressive metallic materials used for modern applications are enhanced mechanical properties, but also other high-level functional characteristics, such as thermal–physical parameters, corrosion rate, and electric resistance. The properties of materials and alloys ensue from their structures, which can primarily be affected by the preparation/production process. The Special Issue “Mechanical Properties in Progressive Mechanically Processed Metallic Materials” was established to present recent developments and innovations particularly in the engineering field. The Special Issue comprises papers dealing with modern materials, such as metallic composites and pseudoalloys, as well as developments in various processing technologies.

Welding, joining, and coating of metallic materials are among the most applicable fabrication processes in modern metallurgy. Welding or joining is the manufacture of a metal one-body workpiece from several pieces. Coating is the process of production of metallic substrate with required properties of the surface. A long list of specific techniques is studied during schooling and applied in industry; several include resistant spot, laser or friction welding, micro arc oxidation (MAO), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and physical vapor deposition (PVD), among others. This Special Issue presents 21 recent developments in the field of welding, joining, and coating of various metallic materials namely, Ti and Mg alloys, different types of steel, intermetallics, and shape memory alloys.

In the last half century, great attention has been paid to materials that can be used in the human body to prepare parts that replace failed bone structures. Of all materials, Ti-based materials are the most desirable, because they provide an optimum combination of mechanical, chemical and biological properties. The successful application of Ti biomaterials has been confirmed mainly in dentistry, orthopedics and traumatology. The Ti biomaterials provide high strength and a relatively low Young’s modulus. Titanium biocompatibility is practically the highest of all metallic biomaterials, however new solutions are being sought to continuous improve their biocompatibility and osseointegration. Thus, the chemical modification of Ti results in the formation of new alloys or composites, which provide new perspectives for Ti biomaterials applications. Great attention has also been paid to the formation of nanostructures in Ti-based biomaterials, which has leads to extremely good mechanical properties and very good biocompatibility. Additionally, the surface treatment applied to Ti-based biomaterials provides faster osseointegration and improve in many cases mechanical properties. The special issue “Ti-Based Biomaterials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications” has been proposed as a means to present recent developments in the field. The articles included in the special issue cover broad aspects of Ti-based biomaterials formation with respect to design theirs structure, mechanical and biological properties, as highlighted in this editorial.

Product miniaturization is a trend for facilitating product usage, enabling product functions to be implemented in microscale geometries, and aimed at reducing product weight, volume, cost and pollution. Driven by ongoing miniaturization in diverse areas including medical devices, precision equipment, communication devices, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and microsystems technology (MST), the demands for micro metallic products have increased tremendously. Such a trend requires development of advanced micromanufacturing technology of metallic materials for producing high-quality micro metallic products that possess excellent dimensional tolerances, required mechanical properties and improved surface quality. Micromanufacturing differs from conventional manufacturing technology in terms of materials, processes, tools, and machines and equipment, due to the miniaturization nature of the whole micromanufacturing system, which challenges the rapid development of micromanufacturing technology. Against such a background, the Special Issue “Micromanufacturing of Metallic Materials” was proposed to present the recent developments of micromanufacturing technologies of metallic materials. The papers collected in the Special Issue include research articles, literature review and technical notes, which have been highlighted in this editorial.

The article is devoted to research in the development of composite materials based on polyvinyl chloride and industrial waste from the metallurgical, energy and mining industries. The properties of dispersed waste have been studied, which make it possible to speak of the possibility of their use as fillers for polymer compositions. A comparative analysis of the tested physical and mechanical properties is carried out, depending on the characteristics of the particle size of the fillers. It was revealed that from the point of view of construction materials, all the wastes under study can be used as fillers. The development will make it possible to dispose of industrial waste to obtain useful products and save natural non-metallic materials used in the creation of composites.

This paper presents the assessment of the physical and mechanical properties lightweight of aggregate obtained from the addition of expanded clay mineral clay – glauconite and clay from the bed, “Buda Mszczonowska”. Crushed plastic was prepared by firing at a temperature of over 1170 ° C. Evaluation of physical parameters was based on parameters such as density, bulk density and bulk density, tightness, porosity, water absorption. The study of mechanical properties was carried out on the basis of aggregate hardiness, resistance to crushing, abrasion in the drum Los Angeles. In addition, the compounds were determined in the aggregate coloring. Use glauconite in the lightweight of aggregate is beneficial for the texture of the sinter resulting in the formation of a glassy layer on the surface of the granules, and by increasing their porosity. Investigated the properties indicate that the resulting lightweight of aggregate with glauconite meets the basic requirements for materials used in construction.

The optimization of mechanical properties through microstructural design in metallurgical industries has been used successfully for many years. In comparison, the microstructural design in ceramics has been less successful, mainly due to the complexity and difficulties associated with low diffusivity (in their monolithic form) and to the ability to be sintered at elevated temperatures. For years, many structural ceramics could not be sintered to high densities (>95% of their theoretical density) without large quantities of sintering aids. A typical example is silicon carbide (SiC), which has a unique combination of properties, such as: high hardness and wear resistance, considerable strength at high temperatures, and excellent thermal conductivity, but, due to a high level of covalent bonding and consequently low diffusion rates, it cannot be sintered to high density (without the addition of sintering aids) even at temperatures approaching 3000°C.Since the first successful sintering of SiC with small additions of boron and carbon in the early 1970s, remarkable progress has been made in developing a wide range of properties for the microstructure, including fracture toughness from 3–4 MPa m½ to 12–14 MPa m½ four-point-bending strength from 300 MPa to over 900 MPa, and thermal conductivity from 60 to 260 W/m K.4This article presents the most recent developments in SiC ceramics, emphasizing optimization of mechanical properties through microstructure control. The discussion is limited to β-phase SiC pressureless sintering, using oxide additives.

This paper presents an attempt to obtain technically valuable lightweight aggregate produced from a mixture of fluidized bed fly ash and post-mining residues. The motivation to take up this study is a problem with the reasonable utilization of huge amounts of ashes produced by power plants in Poland. The ashes still produced and those stored in heaps amount to a tonnage of millions, and new ways to utilize them are desired. A real lack of mineral aggregates (non-renewable resources) demands the search for alternative materials. Using the industrial ashes as aggregates is a possible solution to the two above-mentioned problems. The aim of the study was to produce the lightweight aggregate components and to assess them in terms of their physical and mechanical properties. The components were prepared by mixing, granulation, and sintering at the temperature of over 1170 °C. Evaluation of physical parameters was based on parameters such as bulk density and water absorption. The study of mechanical properties was carried out on the basis of aggregates’ resistance to crushing. The obtained results revealed that using a mixture of the combustion and post-mining residues in the production of a lightweight aggregate is beneficial and results in the formation of a porous and durable structure. The measured resistance to the crushing of the produced aggregates varied from 5.9 MPa to 7.5 MPa. They also showed a high freeze-thaw resistance and good resistance to aggressive environments (bases, acids, salt). The registered properties indicate that the aggregates meet the basic requirements for materials used in construction and road-building. This study has a scientific and didactic value in that it describes the step-by-step process of planning and implementing the production of synthetic mineral aggregates.

The article presents the basic technical requirements for carrying-hauling ropes for monocable aerial ropeways contained in the Directive 2000/9/EC of the New Approach of March 20th 2000 on cableway installations designed to carry passengers and in European Standards harmonized with it. These requirements apply to materials used for ropes, methods of manufacturing of wires and ropes, physical parameters, mechanical properties, testing methods and rope discarding criteria. The article summarizes the different types of loads in carrying-hauling ropes for monocable aerial ropeways and their impact on the operation of the cableways. It also touches the subject of the properties of carrying-hauling rope constructions with equal lay and compacted strands used in ropeways in Poland in the last two decades with particular emphasis on the structure of cores made of plastics. An analysis and assessment of the rope operation has been carried out in the last part of the article. This analysis considers factors such as the rope construction, the method of carriers gripping, lay direction of rope related to the direction of ropeway movement, rope elongation depending on the type of core and the associated rope shortening and rope fatigue life.
