Abstract: Process capability analysis is a part of the statistical process control, which is designed to monitor and regulate the process. The aim of statistical control is to maintain the manufacturing process at a level so that produced products have the required quality and meet the customer requirements. [..] Read more

Abstract: In order to increase efficiency in production with respect to emissions production, the European trading system with emissions of CO2 has been established at the beginning of this millennium. The impact of this system on participating companies, even after one decade of its functioning, has been questioned many times in published studies. [..] Read more

Abstract: To verify the operation of heating furnaces is very suitable to measure directly on the heated material that is placed in a heating furnace. In the case of the furnace, where the material is shifted on the growth of the furnace, the situation is complicated and measuring is arduous. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years basic metal manufacturing companies faced major changes in their environment. The impact of those changes is evident in individual companies but can also be observed in accumulated data for the entire branch. [..] Read more

Abstract: The purpose of the paper is presentation of wider tendency that occur in economy (and particularly in metal manufacturing sector): creation of ecosystems of cooperating entities, emerging in specific organizational forms. Progressive specialization of manufacturing entitles causes the formation of networks of actors in place of large organizations producing a diverse range of products. [..] Read more

Abstract: The global issue in all sectors is to increase the efficiency. In heavy industry as in steel sector, there is also a question about the environment – the production of emissions. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of statistical process control (SPC) applied on the process of moulding tin coated cold rolled steel. The process level fluctuates around the historical mean, subgroup averages in the X-bar control chart show an extensive variation and as a result, frequent signals occur. [..] Read more

Abstract: In metallurgy we can meet with different projects, for example research projects, investment projects, educational projects, strategic - development projects and the like. Project management is the focus of many other industries and by branch, who share their resources and experiences. [..] Read more

Abstract: Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is used by organizations to prevent and overcome the effects of defects that occur in the construction and manufacturing processes. Applying this method consists in studying all possible faults before approving of the construction solution. [..] Read more

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to come up with a concept of dynamic resilience modelling for the complex logistic systems with the example of logistic system of metallurgical plant. Based on the assumptions of service engineering, we propose a general model of logistics system, consisting of two parts representing both, the inward and the outward logistics in steel industry. [..] Read more

Abstract: European Union authorities effort to make the industrial companies to decrease the amount of CO2 emissions produced. The main instrument of the EU environmental policy is emissions allowances trading. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of steelworks macrologistics system to produce steel sheets is to create long-term conditions over the allocation of divisions and layout equipment (aggregates, machines, warehouses, manufacturing strategy), planning system and structure micrologistics system for the smoothest flow of material, maximum capacity utilization of production facilities, meet delivery dates these products of the required quality. Not suitable solution for macrologistics level creates on the micrologistics level situations with conflicting criteria of solution - dilemmas. [..] Read more

Abstract: Logistic distribution systems’ dependability is a highly significant matter in today’s understanding of system’s ability to satisfy customer requirements, which usually are excessive and much individualized. A solution to such demands more and more often is the customization of offered goods, due to adapting postponement strategy. [..] Read more

Abstract: Production is concerned with short throughput times and high schedule reliability in order to on the one hand, fulfill customer demands and on the other hand, increase planning reliability. The continuity of the flow of materials and information are influenced by many factors. [..] Read more

Abstract: Designing the physicochemical properties of consumables used in the steel industry must be adapted to the technical and technological parameters of production equipment. Proper design of the properties of the consumables used in the production line allows for high-quality final product.The article describes the use of a model for the design of the physicochemical properties of mould powders that meets the requirements of the local conditions of technological equipment CC based on the developed in recent years empirical rule. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article presents the results of abrasion tests for different types of silicon cast iron. Scope of research included silicon cast iron with a silicon content in the range of 15 – 25 %. [..] Read more

Abstract: The agitation of melt in the hearth furnaces is complicated. It depends on introduced system of technological gases blowing, the shape of working profile of the hearth and a degree of hearth lining wear in the course of furnace campaign. [..] Read more

Abstract: At the present time, the heat treatment process plays an important role in the production of automobile parts. This is valid especially for the transmission components. [..] Read more

Abstract: Fluxes (slag-forming additives) provide the formation of blast-furnace slag of suitable chemical composition. These additives affect not only the technological parameters of the blast-furnace process. [..] Read more

Abstract: The application of wire scrap from tire recycling can be very important, especially when the steel is melted in induction furnace. However, in the induction furnace there is no possibility for steel decarburization because of the danger of lining erosion, and as a result unavoidable furnace failure due to liquid metal leakage.
