Abstract: In article questions of development, low-waste technologies of processing of steel-smelting slag are considered, gland allowing by extraction and its connections from steel-smelting slag to receive additional raw materials for production became, and the remains to use in building industry. Complex processing of steel-smelting slags as the main way of engineering-ecological development of society was offered in the mid-sixties the past century, generally by scientists from the CIS countries.

Abstract: Steelmaking dust and sludge are hazardous waste materials containing leachable compounds of zinc, lead, cadmium, and other environmentally harmful elements. In this study, acetic and butyric acid were used as leaching reagents to remove easily soluble zincite selectively. [..] Read more

Abstract: The design of the individual components of the systems with lances for high-temperature reactors significantly influences their proper functioning and the course of the technological process on which the quality of the resulting product depends. The lance systems intended for the high-temperature reactors are designed for gas blowing of various, especially gaseous media. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the production of hot briquetted iron some fine by-product is generated. This material consists mainly of metallic iron and iron oxides. [..] Read more

Abstract: Monitoring and evaluation of temperature distribution in continuous steel casting coupled with optimal temperature intervals providing no defects can be used for the prediction of crack formation in the cast strand. Crack locations can be further specified with the use of mechanical stress-strain distribution model. [..] Read more

Abstract: This research paper combines investigation of mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) and comparison with standard grades of steel and cast iron. Due to the special features of both materials – catsability from cast iron, and toughness from steel, ADI attracts an attention of industry and science because of economic benefits and high performance at the different application areas.

Abstract: Three model alloys based on FeCCrNi were studied. Alloys contained 0.34  0.36 wt. % of carbon and chromium and nickel in the range of 1.04 – 4.96 wt. %. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metal casting is one of the most important manufacturing process technologies and is defined as a process in which molten or liquid metal is poured into a mould. Today, metal casting components are found in over 90 percent of manufactured goods and equipment, from critical component for aircraft and automotive industries to home applications as well as construction machineries. [..] Read more

Abstract: Numerical models of solidification and cooling of continuously cast billets or blooms are used both in research and in operational conditions to predict solid shell thickness, metallurgical length, solidification rate etc. The numerical model must be verified according to real values of quantities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Maritime transport is still one of the most important sectors of transport for large volumes of transported goods. The existing solutions allow on the one hand a high degree of flexibility in the use of this type of transport and on the other hand establish common standards through the use of containers. Maritime container transport is exposed to many risk factors that can have a significant impact on the safe conduction of transport services. Problems in maritime transport affecting particular the proper implementation of intermodal transport processes. [..] Read more

Abstract: Analysis of factors affecting supply chains have been studied in the heavy industry sector. Determinants affecting the transformation of supply chains apply to each area of the business entity's operations. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years, a high development of the length of bicycle paths in Polish cities can be observed. Along with their increase, there are also many elements of road infrastructure that improve the safety and comfort of traveling cyclists in cities. [..] Read more

Abstract: Transport communication problems in cities are becoming more and more frequent phenomenon. The constantly increasing level of congestion in cities negatively affects the natural environment and significantly increases the transport, operating or operating costs of companies providing transport services. [..] Read more

Abstract: Background. The emission of hazardous substances has a significant impact on environment pollution and becomes a noticeable problem. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper discusses different types of major natural disasters risk which occurred in the past that may unexpectedly severely disrupt automakers supply chain networks in Japan in the future. Due to the high risk of natural hazards such as earthquakes or tsunami, it seems that Japan created the best prepared for disruptions industrial supply chain in the world. [..] Read more

Abstract: The problem of current freight transport lies in a plenty of smaller shipments that are delivered daily to the same collection points. Consumers and Distribution centers have found the possibility to reduce the amount of money in stock if they order only those goods that they are able to sell in a short time. [..] Read more

Abstract: The organization and implementation of multinational exercises is an important element of NATO's activities. Exercises continue to ensure that Allies are able to meet NATO’s level of ambition, and to demonstrate that capability for deterrence purposes. Implementation of exercises helps to strengthen the bond between participating units, but above all allows you to actually improve procedures and strategies. [..] Read more

Abstract: Processes in the area of supply logistics require managers to make effective and efficient decisions. This applies to a large extent to the public finance sector but practice shows that it covers the interface area of both sectors. [..] Read more

Abstract: For military logistics a special area are processes related to the sphere of food. Proper planning of purchases, deliveries and storage, and their right implementation, in the context of changing conditions determining the state of the environment (peace, crisis or war), are an important area of tasks for military logistics. [..] Read more

Abstract: Problems of logistics support of weapon systems in their life cycle operation and support phase, especially considering its modernization are presented in the paper. In the introduction inevitability of the modernization process of crucial weapon systems was emphasized. [..] Read more
