Abstract: This paper deals with using the design of experiments (DOE) during the evaluation of mechanical properties of the wire for steel ropes. It was provided with a full factorial experiment with three factors at two levels. [..] Read more

Abstract: This study presents the evaluation, based on the principles of Toyota management (BOST method) of functioning of the manufacturing process in production of components for combine harvesters such as: straw chopper knives and knife sections. These parts perform specific motion during work and require maintaining the dimensions and weight within specific tolerances. [..] Read more

Abstract: Many power plant operators are currently struggling with the problem of expiring the design life of components. The question often arises whether to continue the operation of the equipment or if it is already necessary to shut down/overhaul it. [..] Read more

Abstract: One of the many interesting properties of silver nanoparticles is their antimicrobial activity. Since these properties are related to the morphology of the particles, it is interesting to pay attention to the antimicrobial effects of various metal nanostructures, which differ in the method of synthesis, size, or shape. [..] Read more

Abstract: To ensure proper maintenance and remaining lifespan of railway axles it is important to correctly estimate its mechanical properties. In past many methods were introduced and standardized. [..] Read more

Abstract: Mining industry is still the only supplier of mineral resources. Loading and transportation represents an integral part of the logistics system in each mining company. [..] Read more

Abstract: The durability of materials working in aggressive environments is mostly important in the design of structures and devices. Corrosion destruction is one of the main causes of material losses, reduced efficiency and safety of their use. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper presents the results of studies aimed at determination of corrosion resistance intermetallic phase matrix of FeAl alloy in a steam environment at 850 °C. The comparison of heat resistance of Fe40Al5Cr0,2TiB intermetallic alloy with heat-resistant steel with austenitic structure X25CrMnNiN25-9-7 was also presented at the article. [..] Read more

Abstract: High alloyed materials are required by certain industrial sectors as is power, chemical and nuclear industry, etc. These materials have superior mechanical properties and are resistant to chemically aggressive environment in which it must accommodate the long term mechanical stresses at high temperatures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Report deals with the occurrence of copper and copper oxides in the Heating Plant heat-transfer circuit, particularly in the steam-water system of high pressure steam boilers. Boilers produce high-pressure superheated steam, which is used for cogeneration of heat and electricity. [..] Read more

Abstract: Carbon steels as a construction materials are still very popular, but exposed to corrosion. Low-carbon steel is often used as a construction material for agricultural equipment. [..] Read more

Abstract: When dealing with corroded objects, it is necessary to identify the corrosion products to develop a proper treatment for this particular object. Using X-ray diffraction is still suitable to do the phase composition analysis of the material; however it does the analysis of the material in bulk. [..] Read more

Abstract: Possibilities of the use of alternative drives from the point of view of operation of an industrial enterprise are at present almost unlimited, and it will always depend on concrete conditions of the company to which measure the company will decide to use alternative fuels in its fleet. One of the main arguments for using of alternative motor fuels are ecological reasons. [..] Read more

Abstract: Modern applications of pneumatic and hydraulic systems in extreme subsea production increased emphasis on long life and minimum maintenance cycles. For this reason, are constantly developed new sealing elements. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the evaluation of experimental data on samples of steel wire. The main attention is aimed at the R&R study, which was a part of the experiment for studying effects of three factors on various mechanical properties of drawn wires. [..] Read more

Abstract: The steel sector is one of the most important sectors of the processing industry in Poland. The article presents the changes in the development of the steel industry in Poland in the years 2010-2014. [..] Read more

Abstract: Alloys that have lamellar structures, e.g., pearlitic steel, are widely used in practice. Nowadays, perlitic steel wires for tyre cords, springs and ropes are studied extensively at our laboratory of wire drawing. [..] Read more

Abstract: At the beginning of the production of body parts from Al-alloy, there was a requirement to experimentally verify its suitability for their production. This alloy is characterized by a combination of various stress-deformation properties influencing the non-uniform plastic flow of the material, especially during deep drawing of complex shaped drawn parts. [..] Read more

Abstract: Reinforced concrete service-life depends on a transport rate of corrosion stimulators, especially chlorides, towards the reinforcement through concrete cover layer. Traditional migration tests are able to state the effective diffusion coefficient; however they do not provide the information about the microstructure and its development in time. [..] Read more

Abstract: The effect of different vol. % Zn:Al ratio in Zn and Al pigmented epoxy coatings with the same OPVC (40 vol. [..] Read more
