Manufacturing Technology 2023, 23(1):40-46 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2023.012
The steel 51CrV4 is widely used for production of springs. Materials research into spring steels aims to meet the requirements of industry, which mainly concern high yield and tensile strengths. Ductility has to be retained as the strength is increased. Also, the resistance against brittle fracture is im-portant, measured as fracture toughness. Enhancement of the mentioned mechanical properties can be accomplished by structural refinement. One possible way to refine the final quenched and tem-pered structure is to refine the soft annealed structure before quenching. The article is devoted to the Accelerated Carbide Spheroidisation and Refinement (ASR)...

A modern user requires low operating costs, but also reliability from machines and technical devices. Reliability during the service life depends on the quality of construction solutions, but also largely on the quality, properties and adaptation to the working conditions used in the construction of construction materials. During the operation of technical objects, their a highly predictable wear occurs. The problem is the phenomena of premature wear and damage of elements. The causes of failure of technical facilities are usually complex and depend on many factors. They can include the human factor and the one related to the quality, selection, production...

Manufacturing Technology 2023, 23(1):127-134 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2023.008
The presented article focuses on the surface analysis of the components manufactured by different additive technologies and their reverse digitization. Sintered components were manufactured by SLM and ADAM technologies, while their surface was analyzed using a progressive optical measurement method. To examine the possibility of reverse engineering, the components were optically scanned with a laser scanner and compared to their CAD model. Based on empirical experience, to scan opti-cally the metal and lustrous surfaces is a challenge. The components were manufactured from anti-corrosion materials 17-4 PH and 316L–0407.
