In sections on materials, technologies, and methods, 26 papers explore matters pertaining to installing, commissioning, maintaining, replacing, and removing plant machinery and equipment. Among the topics are the quantitative analysis of the compact structure in polymer/metal powder magnetic composites, how the start-up scheme impacts the pollution load of a power plant unit, a centrifugal pump with the impeller supported in sealing clearances, modeling the mechanical state of a diamond particle in a metallic matrix, applying three-dimensional analysis techniques to assess the quality of a metal surface layer before and after laser treatment, and the possibility of estimating the depth of a keyhole formed during laser welding.
