RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Kuśmierczak, Sylvia A1 Náprstková, Nataša A1 Kuba, Michal T1 Analysis of the Defects Causes in Rolled Brass Sheet JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2014 VO 14 IS 3 SP 347 OP 351 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2014/a/1213-2489/MT/14/3/347 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201403-0018.php AB The aim of this paper is to identify the causes of defects in rolled brass sheets which appear in the final stage of the blank production. These defects cause the increase in the production cost of the blank, which is undesirable. The analysis methods were used, such as spectroscopic chemical analysis, microstructural analysis using light and electron microscopy and the application of selected mechanical tests. Based on the analysis results, the analysis and cause determining and type of qualification occurring defects was realized.
