Implementation of recent EU policy measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in combination with a large adoption of low-carbon technologies is acknowledged to drive an increasing demand for certain materials. Some of these materials are largely produced outside the EU and are flagged as critical in different studies. This paper presents a new and comprehensive methodology to determine the EU resilience to supply of materials used in major low-carbon technologies. It assesses the security of supply across the materials value chain by adopting specific indicators related to upstream and downstream production stages. A case study, i.e. lithium in the context of rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, demonstrates the applicability of the methodology. While the overall issue of lithium availability for electric vehicle batteries is known, an integrated analysis at EU level based on the latest technological/market developments is however not available. This paper reveals that the EU resilience to the roll-out of EV will decrease by 2030 unless specific mitigation measures are undertaken at EU level. Such measures include recycling of waste Li-ion batteries, increasing the production of raw lithium, processed materials and cells/batteries in the EU as well as diversification of the supply of lithium and/or cells/batteries from third countries. Keywords: raw material, resilience, criticality, lithium, battery, electric vehicle, supply chain

Pimentaracemosavar.racemosa(Myrtaceae) is a Caribbean arboreal plant known as Bay rum, with a special interest for the cosmetics industry, due to its essential oil. In present study, proximate composition and mineral content of Bay rum fruits was analyzed and results compared to the USDA (2012),1 through the nutrient database for Pimentadioicafruits. The results of bromatologic test of Bay rum revealed a high content of crude fiber (39.46%) and ashes (18.58%). Furthermore, minerals such as potassium (K) and zinc (Zn), found in ashes by using ICP-AES, revealed a higher content of these (6.6 and 1.1 times, respectively), comparing to P. dioica. Bay rum fruits might be considered as possible source of Zn and K for human and animal consumption. Additionally, the high crude fiber content might contribute to blood sugar levels regulation and also to reduce developing gastrointestinal diseases such as colon cancer. Keywords: Pimentaracemosa, fruits, proximate analysis, minerals, potassium, zinc

In lost foam casting (LFC), the presence of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) inside the mold leads to new features for the filling of the melt. The burning of the EPS pattern has great effect on its filling. To provide benchmark experiments for the modeling and numerical simulation of the mold filling process for LFC, a vertical plate with a window was selected. The window was designed in variation of sizes and distances to the borders so as to investigate the melt filling of a series of narrow paths in LFC. The designed EPS pattern were made and the corresponding molds were prepared and melt cast iron was poured. The measurement system of liquid metal filling based on modified contact time method (METM) was used. The filling of measured points was illustrated by an array of light-emitting diodes (LED) arranged resembling the shape of the casting, with the lightening of each diode representing the filling time instant of the measurement point. The filling times of all the points were obtained by the image analysis of recorded movie. The filling profiles and filling velocity during filling process were obtained. The filling results provide support for numerical simulation of LFC. Keywords: Lost foam casting (LFC), mold filling, modified contact time method, LED display, plate casting, cast iron

The simple model of grain and phase boundaries diffusion into polycrystalline solid system with nano- and micro grain dimensions is proposed. There are considered different types of diffusion regimes which are realized by definite correlations between volume and grain boundary diffusion lengths and average grain sizes. The study shows the temperature regimes where the diffusion along triple junctions is the control stage of structural processes in metal materials.

In this paper, we propose a technique for additive manufacturing of bulk materials from electrically conductive powders, based on the method of point wise electro pulse sintering. This method consists of layer-by-layer consolidation of powders, each layer being formed as a result of successive sintering of small portions of powder compressed between the electrode and the substrate, or between the electrode and the previously sintered layer. Using the proposed method, bulk samples were obtained from powders having the different chemical composition (Cu, Ti, mechanically alloyed tin bronze), and particles of various shapes (dendritic, dumbbell, stone-shaped). Using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and micro hardness measurements, the structural phase states, and porosity of the obtained bulk consolidated materials were studied. Sintering of powders using this method is greatly influenced by the heat release along the boundaries of the particles, which in turn depends on the electrical resistivity of the material. The porosity of the sintered samples mainly depends on the type of powder used and decreases with the decreasing size of the powder particles. Keywords: additive manufacturing, electro pulse sintering, metal powders, porous structure

Lithium borate glasses modified with molybdenum oxide according to the formula: xMoO3 (1-x)[0.25 Li2O 0.75 B2O3] prepared by the melt quenching technique were studied. Density, differential thermal analysis, FTIR and impedance spectroscopic were used to analyze these systems. It was confirmed that the glassy matrix of these systems was based on the MoO6 octahedral units and on BO3 and BO4 units. The results explained how the stability of a borate matrix that hosted molybdenum ions was affected by the presence of small mobile ions (lithium ions in the present case). It was found that concentration of molybdenum oxide was restricted by strong interactions between the charged molybdenum structures and the mobile ions due to the presence of order forces that promote the formation of crystalline structures.

The paper shortly characterises the structure of the separate areas of the heat affected zone which occurs in the structural steels during welding and surfacing. It presents the methodology of thermal cycles measuring while argon shielded TIG surfacing of steel plates SM400A. Surfacing was conducted in two variants, i.e. without preheating and with preheating before surfacing. Research resulted in the developing of diagrams determining the value of the maximum temperature of the thermal cycle in the specific place of the element being surfaced for the given heat input Q as well as diagrams enabling the determination of cooling time of a padding weld, assuming that maximum temperature of the thermal cycle in the selected point of the component being surfaced is known for the determined heat input Q during TIG surfacing with and without preheating. Keywords: welding thermal cycle, TIG process, heat input q, preheating, cooling time
