Abstract: In paper authors present the influence of adjusting key parameter, which is changeover point between first and second phase, on quality of casting from AlSi9Cu3(Fe) alloy. Technological tests were carried out in industrial conditions on a machine with a clamping force of 1200 Mg with variable parameters of the piston operation. [..] Read more

Abstract: The corrosivity of indoor atmospheres is usually evaluated according to the ISO 11844-1 standard, utilizing specimens of different metals. However, the sensitivity of this setup is not sufficient to the presence of specific organic pollutants, such as acetic and formic acid or formaldehyde. [..] Read more

Abstract: South Africa is amongst the influential producers of gold worldwide. Many results have been published on its ores and different parameters defined. [..] Read more

Abstract: The depletion of ores from the first sources on one hand has led to using damped materials that contain valuable metals to be recycled while environmental threats are being targeted and on the other hand high price of reductant coupled with their depletion have caused a stir in the metallurgical industry. Many slags are currently recycled for the recovery of valuable metals while new reductants are being tested for eventually replace the generic reductants. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with using computational method and digital filters in power grid quality analysis in metallurgical industry. Almost all of metallurgical factories using large engines, arc furnace, induction heating and so on. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article aims to present different perspectives and their respective advantages in the area of research and development cost integration in an enterprise using a calculation system based on the ABC method and choose optimum implementation the costs research and development. Research and development costs in industrial enterprises are often recorded for the reason of tax breaks secured by valid legislation. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with the automatic selection of the binarization method using advanced methods of artificial intelligence. The input images to the algorithms are images of serial numbers from industrial environments, for example on iron and steel billets, slabs, etc. [..] Read more

Abstract: Lack of qualified human resources has, for several years now, been the biggest constraint on the development of Czech industry, particularly in manufacturing facilities where working conditions are difficult. This category includes foundries. [..] Read more

Abstract: The authors of the article generalize the results of research of a selected group of Czech industrial companies. These companies are founded on the experience of technological transformation in industry as a prerequisite for admission to technological chains which demonstrate high measurement accuracy and major changes in technological procedures.The models of internal economic management are not sufficiently flexible to capture these changes as the investments in Industry 4.0 technologies are introduced. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article explores the options for automating the process involved in shipping metallurgical products. The shipping process usually begins with the logistics team entering a request for shipping into the information system after production is complete. [..] Read more

Abstract: The greatest challenge for the metallurgy industry today is to adapt to the EU’s stricter climate policy. The European Commission’s aim to achieve neutral CO2 emissions by 2050 will have a huge impact on the sector. [..] Read more

Abstract: To ensure the effectiveness of the management of innovation activities, it is important to focus on the management of the innovation process and the identification of problems related to it. The innovation process begins with the generation of ideas and ends with their commercial use. [..] Read more

Abstract: In the paper there are summarized basic analytical and empirical pieces of knowledge on searching dependences of the influence of thermal process during steel casting in the continuous casting of semi-finished products – slabs, on their quality assessment and as well the influence of thermal processes on the quality of final products rolled of slabs. The course of thermal processes at continuous steel casting has the significant impact on the quality of slabs. [..] Read more

Abstract: Sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 provide an opportunity for the metallurgical and mining industry to create value for both their business and society. The aim of the paper is to analyze the SDGs preferences in the metallurgical and mining industry and identify those SDGs that companies from that industry promised to follow. [..] Read more

Abstract: Basicity is one of the key chemical criteria in evaluating the properties of ore raw materials. The alkaline character of the blast furnace charge affects the efficiency of the iron production process in the blast furnace. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of storage and retrieval operations in the expedition warehouse of the metallurgical company. First, the problem of warehouse management in the metallurgical industry is defined. [..] Read more

Abstract: The article deals with the issue of technological thinking in the process of material security of supply chains of a selected group of products in the field of metallurgical secondary production. The commercial potential of this distribution, redistribution of low-carbon wire products and low-carbon materials from metallurgical secondary production, which is redistributed over long distances from the place of production to the place of consumption with the necessary requirements to control incoming materials into production and subsequent final processing. [..] Read more

Abstract: Appropriate maintenance of machinery and production equipment allows for smooth production, eliminates downtime related to failures, improves work safety and improves the productivity of an enterprise. Well-functioning machines allow for production of high-quality products. [..] Read more

Abstract: This article addresses the problem of supply chain management in the foundry industry. In the case of manufacturing companies assisting in the production process by external entities, it is important to consider cooperation starting from the settlement of raw materials or semi-finished products to the acceptance of production from a subcontractor along with the registration of the costs of service, transport and storage. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metal foundry, despite the progressing process of implementing new production technologies - still belongs to the fields characterized by a significant level of occupational risk. In metal foundries there is a significant concentration of harmful and arduous factors at many workplaces. [..] Read more
