Thermal spray technology is a developing trend in the surface treatment of workpieces. This makes it possible to produce a very hard, abrasion-resistant, and corrosion-resistant surface while maintaining a tenacious core. There are several &#x...

Sustainability is an urgent social development task that is increasingly coming into the limelight. The United Nation’s Brundtland Commission Report of 1987 concluded that humanity could make development sustainable if it meets “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of&#x...

Stainless steels are materials whose consumption increases constantly. However, their machining can be problematic. A cutting tool is under higher mechanical and thermal stress than in the case of carbon steels, thereby rapid tool wear can occur. To avoid this, cutting speeds are o...

Infrared thermography is a fast and illustrative nondestructive testing method, which is widely used for an inspection of metallic and non-metallic materials. Previously it was used mostly for defects indication. However, modern devices and software allow an application of a quantitative est...

Surface functionalization as well as the microstructure modification of electrodes by laser material processing has become increasingly important in recent years. Short and ultra-short pulsed lasers, which enable high-precision processing, are us...

3D printing technology is a modern way of producing metal parts with great potential for application in many industries. The advantage of this method is the possibility of achieving the final form and structurally complex parts without further technological operations. This paper ...

Thermography is a modern diagnostics method with a significant potential for utilization in diagnostics, maintenance, monitoring, or non-destructive testing of power industry devices. The main advantages of thermography belong its non-contact and non-destructive basis, the possibility of area&...

Plain bearings are undoubtedly one of the essential parts of turbines and compressors. However, there are many cases in which asymmetric load occurs on the bearings due to thermal deformations, production inaccuracies or a simple deflection of the shaft. The presented research deals...

Modern additive manufacturing (AM) processes allow us to create parts of fairly high precision and various shapes with diverse internal features. These possibilities are, for example, often used when designing the conformally cooled parts of injection moulds. However, this research is focuse...

Machining of aluminum optical tables is a current topic due to its relevance to laboratory research in the field of laser technology, but also in the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. The purpose of this article is to present proposals to produce aluminum optical tables u...

The subject of this experiment was to produce parts with a specific shape and submillimetre elements. The parts represented components of commercial sparkplugs and the machined section was made of almost pure nickel. Relatively narrow required tolerance of parts (hundreds of micrometres),&#x...

This paper is based on the knowledge gained in the field of development and construction of tools for machining very hard and difficult to machine materials based on thermal spraying (for example NiCrBSi, Fe13Cr, Stellite 6 and others) and printed materials such as Inconel 718...

This article focuses on assembly technology, which is an important part of the production process. When assembling a new product, emphasis is placed on the expected speed of product assembly and the associated development of the training curve. The training curve is an event i...

In the field of higher quality management systems, such as automotive IATF 16949, aeronautics EN9100 or railway standards IRIS, unambiguous identification throughout the production process is one of the fundamental principles on which production philosophies are based. This paper deals with ...
