David Aisman, Katerina Opatova, Katerina Rubesova, Stepan Jenicek

Manufacturing Technology 2016, 16(6):1226-1230 | DOI: 10.21062/ujep/x.2016/a/1213-2489/MT/16/6/1226  

Tool steels are traditional materials whose heat treatment routes are well-established. Despite that fact, unconventional treatment methods can be used, for instance for refining chromium carbides and general strengthening of the structure. One of the methods that considerably alter microstructure is semi-solid processing. By means of passing through the semi-solid state, the X210Cr12 steel (ČSN 19436) developed a microstructure of polyhedral austenite grains embedded in a carbide network. Forming of this material at an appropriate temperature led to recrystallization of the austenitic microstructure and to uniform distribution of carbides with a size...

Galvanic plating of polymeric structural parts is widely used in many industrial branches, e.g. in automotive. Minor errors in their manufacturing process are responsible for presence of surface defects. These defects, especially in the case of visual and decorative parts, are unacceptable. This paper demonstrates the usage of optical and electron microscopy to reveal and solve common problems in industrial production. Different types of galvanic plating defects on injection molded parts made of ABS, PC/ABS and PA manifest themselves by different ways.

There are a large number of special methods for exploring the internal condition of materials on the basis of eddy currents. A major use of this method can be seen in surface engineering, particularly in studying some state quantities of surface integrity. It is also an irreplaceable tool in surface engineering. The reason is that no other affordable method provides information on both the surface and the sub-surface regions, as the latter are difficult to reach by most other inspection methods. It must be noted that the sub-surface region is significant, and dictates, to a large extent, the behaviour of the overlying surface. This article explores...

A model twin-roll cast Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy was prepared and the evolution of microstructure during a step-by-step isochronal annealing was characterized by electron microscopy and light optical microscopy. Inhomogeneous structure with significantly finer grains in the middle of the strip is generated by casting. Subsequent annealing up to 550 °C does not alter this grain-size mainly due to the presence of a fine dispersion of Al3(Sc,Zr) particles, which forms at annealing temperatures below 300 °C. Although these particles coarsen and partially transform at higher annealing temperatures their strengths as recrystallization inhibitors is sufficient to...

To understand the process of chip creation during machining requires knowing the behaviour of metal at high degrees of mechanical and thermal stress which occurs in microvolumes of machined material. During machining the chip is characterized by unique deformation structure which does not occur with other methods of mechanical metal machining. This is the reason why its explanation is rather complex. The implementation of the knowledge of metal physics in confrontation with the experiment can finally contribute to the optimization of the process of metal machining and the selection of optimal cutting conditions.

In order to have a good performance of gas exchange in working process, a function of six order polynomial dynamic cam was established in this paper. The influence of the maximum ample factor to valve including the maximum positive and negative accelerations and the minimum curvature radius was analyzed by NLPQL. On this basis, multi-body dynamic analysis for diesel engine valve train was done, valve train dynamic model was established by ADAMS, multidisciplinary optimization process of cam profile and its model was put forward, and ISIGHT software was used to optimization and calculation. Finally, a set of different cam parameters and corresponding...

This article is focused on the processing of steel materials by thermal cutting technologies - laser cutting. It analyzes the impact of technological parameters - cutting speed effect on the cutting surface quality. The goal is to define the parameters ensuring proper amount of heat absorbed into the material that does not affect the cutting surface to avoid difficultiesduring further processing - such as drilling, thread cutting etc.To determinethe effect of cutting speed on the quality of the cutting surface, it was necessary to measure an internal stress and a hardness of HVM. Internal stresses in the experimental part of the article was measured...
