Abstract: Quantitative STEM imaging together with Monte Carlo simulations of electron scattering in solids can bring interesting results about properties of many thin samples. It is possible to determine thickness of a sample, to calculate mass of particles and measure mass per length/area. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays nanofibers become an integral part of any field of science. One of the most popular methods for producing nanofibers is electrospinning. [..] Read more

Abstract: The use of aluminum alloys in many industrial sectors is still increasing today. Due to its excellent properties, aluminum is widely used, for example, in construction, food, and automotive industries. [..] Read more

Abstract: Optimal regulation algorithms and complex numerical simulations are utilized in contemporary production processes. High quality of products, minimum of scrap, and reduction of carbon footprint are current trends in industry processes including the continuous casting process of steel. [..] Read more

Abstract: Ion implantation and plasma technologies have been proved to be useful techniques to control structure and surface properties of titanium-based materials. In this work the different properties such as microstructure, phase and element composition, microhardness and their influence on the biocompatibility of Ti-based coatings (pure Ti, nitride, oxide, oxynitride) produced by metal plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (MePIIID) were investigated.

Abstract: The microstructure and mechanical properties of powder metallurgical Al7075 alloy modified by the addition of 1 wt. % Zr were studied. [..] Read more

Abstract: The present paper approaches the topic from two perspectives. The first one is a mathematical approach, using which various experimental designs will be compared. [..] Read more

Abstract: The aim of this study was to propose a system that increases the reliability of the supply chain using a rail mode of transport. Such system will reduce delays in a supply chain where a train is use as a mean of transport. [..] Read more

Abstract: The paper focuses on the safety of railway transport and the possibility of a risk appearance in a supply chain using rail vehicles as a mode of transport. The rail transport plays a significant role in the international market for goods forwarding and transportation. [..] Read more

Abstract: Dynamic tensile testing of structural materials is becoming more and more important due to the need to obtain relevant data for components design mostly with the use of FEM in many industries such as automotive and power industries. The difference of the material behaviour under dynamic loading and quasi-static loading is that the dynamic strength or yield stress usually increases as the strain-rate increases. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper deals with the evaluation of sheets utility properties with zinc coatings and their utilization at car-body stampings production. Analysis of utility properties is carry out both for commonly used zinc coatings for car-body stampings production (Z100) and for newly developed zinc coatings – new type (ZM). [..] Read more

Abstract: In the course of the work, a resource-saving version of the work of all basic elements was developed. The developed technological scheme will allow wastewater to be treated to modern maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) standards due to the highly efficient removal of heavy and non-ferrous metals and organic impurities, which can significantly reduce the cost of water supply to the enterprise..

Abstract: The study relates to the processing of zinc-containing wastes of metallurgical production using products of joint pyrolysis of polyethylene wastes and wood pods. The process is carried out in two stages: preparation of polyethylene waste for the operation and then the recovery process. [..] Read more

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for determining the friction coefficient value using actual technological parameters of the hot rolling mill. The presented algorithm is based on Ekelund formula where the friction coefficient is expressed in terms of the roll bite contact geometry, which can be calculated using technological parameters such as forward slip, metal thickness and roll diameter.

Abstract: In most cases, the components (U-profiles, Ω-profiles, box-beams) are used to validate the material model generated from the measurement of individual sheet metal parameters. The validation process consists of comparing the resultant force vs displacement from the experiment to the simulation. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nanotechnology is a scientific field for the characterization, production, and application of nanoscale particles of 1-100 nm size. Due to their large surface area and small size, nanoparticles have different properties compared to bulk materials such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical properties. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nanoparticles are widely used in industry as well as biomedicine. An interesting group are aluminium oxide nanaoparticles (alumina nanoparticles) belonging to the family of metal oxide nanoparticles, which can be prepared by various methods (the sol-gel, precipitation, micro-emulsion and hydrothermal methods). [..] Read more

Abstract: In this paper, the research of steel flow characteristics using three different shapes of impact pads in a 6-strands tundish is presented.The key purpose of the research presented in this paper was to improve flow characteristics and steel temperature distribution across the whole tundish inner space with the aim of preventing erosion of the refractory lining in the upper section of the inflow area. Simulations were realized for various types and shapes of impact pads. [..] Read more

Abstract: During High Carbon ferromanganese production, the slag formation plays an important role on the overall process. Though the slag formation starts in the prereduction zone, silica may be reduced depending on the reducing conditions. [..] Read more

Abstract: This paper refers to the problem of delivery process improvement. The subject of supply are parts and components for a vehicle production company. [..] Read more
