Abstract: Tribological coatings are mainly used to reduce adhesive wear, which often leads to the seizure or the formation of cold welds. The low coefficient of friction and good sliding properties make it ideal for applications with low lubrication or even dry running. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of the metallurgical wastes (slags and fly ash) utilization as a support for photocatalyticaly active composites. Metallurgical slags (MS) represent large volume group of by-products originated during the metallurgical production processes. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper is devoted by simulation of conditions of sun radiation in correlation with real loading in operational conditions of selected polymeric materials. In the second the paper is devoted by simulation of temperature conditions of loading again in correlation with temperature loading in real operational conditions of selected polymeric materials.

Abstract: The article deals with the evaluation of the functional surfaces of the ball valve body, which are different from other parts of the ball valve. First is the requirement of decreased roughness of the machined surface of the catch surfaces and areas where it will be used a special sealing element, and also in dimensional tolerances and, ultimately, the position tolerances as coaxiality, parallelism and perpendicularity..

Abstract: Cutting is one of the most frequently carried out metal forming processes. One of the basic parameters of this process is the clearance value. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper, the quality research of the steel bars produced by chosen Polish metallurgical enterprise was presented. The chemical composition of the steel grade 1006 produced in this enterprise was determined. [..] Read more

Abstract: Research were focused to different zinc coatings quality put on iron alloys (cast iron, steel). In the paper the galvanic, hot-dip and lamellar zinc coatings were compared. [..] Read more

Abstract: Recently, research-development studies conducted for the production of organic brake pads because of the usage of asbestos in brake pads have negative effects on human health and the environment. This study aims to develop to non-asbestos high performance brake pads. [..] Read more

Abstract: Cooling is one of the critical points during aluminum casting. Improper cooling leads to a structure which isn't homogenous, full of internal and surface defects. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the times of market-economy, all decision making processes play the key role in managing a company or organization. The more and more complicated level of production, logistics processes and logistics supply chains and networks, the growing competition or budget restrictions are some of the factors forcing the managements of companies to conduct continuous, dynamic and rational planning. [..] Read more

Abstract: To evaluate the efficiency of transport subsystem in complex logistics structures it should be assessed in terms of quantitative and valuable assessment. The quantitative assessment of its efficiency testify such indicators as performed tonne-kilometers, the number of items handled, the actual working time of transport, the quantity of goods carried, transport costs per tonne-kilometer and per consignment, utilization of working time and transport capacities owned means of transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to point out all deficiencies within the consignment sorting process. The article suggests an appropriate alternative for unloading, reloading, sorting, and loading of consignments, using the multiple-criteria decision making. [..] Read more

Abstract: During last decades, extracting value-added products from industrial waste materials became a crucial research area because it not only provides valuable products but also mitigates the problem with disposal of these wastes and, at the same time, it facilitates saving natural resources. Various dense media for industrial separations are based on a variety of raw materials or commercially manufactured materials, such as clay, quartz, slate, galena, magnetite or ferrosilicon. [..] Read more

Abstract: As a result of the general need for lightweight product design, multi-material systems are gaining in importance. In addition to reducing component weight, the combination of different materials in a single component allows other properties to be locally tailored to its application. [..] Read more

Abstract: Management of the logistics system in an AUTOMOTIVE production plant involves planning processes in which methods and standards are applied, including APS, S&OP, SCM and others. Planning and scheduling for a plant in the AUTOMOTIVE industry requires consideration of information, material, capital and human resources requirements in relation to the production capacity and the availability of resources.In the article, a logistics planning process is presented according to the PL9A method. [..] Read more

Abstract: Transport efficiency is one of the fundamental goals of a transport company. Carriers can use several methods and indicators to evaluate the operation of means of transport, which create a database of data for evaluating processes and the means of transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper is aimed at the experimental testing of the impact energy of conveyor belts in terms of their resistance to puncture using the Design of Experiment (DOE) method. The plan of the experiment consists of selecting a response i.e., the analysed impact energy, defining selected factors: A ‒ impact height; B ‒ hammer weight; and C ‒ impactor type, designing and implementing the experiment, and evaluating the significance of the effects of the individual factors and their interactions using a t-test, which is expressed in the output by means of the p-value. [..] Read more

Abstract: The corrosion resistance of widely used X50CrMnNiNbN21-9 high-alloyed austenite valve steel, in three different combustion gases have been compared. The comparison was performed on the basis of results of kinetic corrosion of the tested steel in combustion gases from propane-butane, gasoline with 5 and 10 % of ethanol additives (v/v) and fuel oil with 5 and 10 % of FAME additives (v/v). [..] Read more

Abstract: Supercritical water (SCW) is a promising medium with a broad spectrum of potential applications in the industry. However, the absence of appropriate structural material able to withstand the severe corrosive conditions of SCW still limits its utilization. [..] Read more

Abstract: In study the effect of the of Nd-(Fe,Co)-B particles biencapsulation method on bonded magnetic material atmospheric corrosion behavior has been evaluated. Bonded magnets were prepared from Nd12Fe77Co5B6 magnetic powder after biencaspsulation. [..] Read more
