Abstract
Additive manufacturing, including laser powder bed fusion, offers possibilities for the production of materials with properties comparable to conventional technologies. The main aim of this paper is to describe the specific microstructure of 316L stainless steel prepared using additive manufacturing. The as-built state and the material after heat treatment (solution annealing at 1050 °C and 60 min soaking time, followed by artificial aging at 700 °C and 3000 min soaking time) were analyzed. A static tensile test at ambient temperature, 77 K, and 8 K was performed to evaluate the mechanical properties. The characteristics of the specific microstructure were examined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The stainless steel 316L prepared using laser powder bed fusion consisted of a hierarchical austenitic microstructure, with a grain size of 25 µm as-built up to 35 µm after heat treatment. The grains predominantly contained fine 300-700 nm subgrains with a cellular structure. It was concluded that after the selected heat treatment there was a significant reduction in dislocations. An increase in precipitates was observed after heat treatment, from the original amount of approximately 20 nm to 150 nm.

Abstract
The aim of the article is to examine the workability of sintered powder material of aluminum alloy (Alumix 321) through severe plastic deformations under the conditions of the equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) process. Accordingly, the stress-strain analysis of the ECAR was carried out through a computer simulation using the finite element method (FEM) by Deform 3D software. Additionally, the formability of the ALUMIX 321 was investigated using the diametrical compression (DC) test, which was measured and analyzed by digital image correlation and finite element simulation. The relationship between failure mode and stress state in the ECAR process and the DC test was quantified using stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. It is concluded that the sintered powder material during the ECAR processing failure by a shearing fracture because in the fracture location the stress conditions were close to the pure shear (η and θ¯ ≈ 0). Moreover, the DC test revealed the potential role as the method of calibration of the fracture locus for stress conditions between the pure shear and the axial symmetry compression.

Abstract
This article deals with the use of photovoltaic panels at the end of their life cycle in cement composites. Attention is focused on the properties of cement composite after 100% replacement of natural aggregate with recycled glass from photovoltaic panels. This goal of replacing natural filler sources with recycled glass is based on the updated policy of the Czech Republic concerning secondary raw materials for the period of 2019-2022, which aims to increase the self-sufficiency of the Czech Republic in raw materials by replacing primary sources with secondary raw materials. The policy also promotes the use of secondary raw materials as a tool to reduce the material and energy demands of industrial production and supports the innovations and development of a circular economy within business. The research has shown that it is possible to prepare cement composite based on recycled glass from solar panels, with compressive and flexural strength after 28 days exceeding 40 MPa and 4 MPa. Furthermore, a possible modification of the cement composite with different pigments has been confirmed, without disrupting the contact zone.
