B. Gajdzik, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland J. Sitko, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Organization and Management, Zabrze, Poland The publication presents the causes of complaints about metallurgical products, illustrated with an example of steel sheets, with a particular focus on the reasons having their sou...

Ultrasonic testing of austenitic stainless steel welds is often difficult because the ultrasonic beam is subjected to many perturbations : deviation, partition, distortions and sometimes ghost echoes. These perturbations are due to the anisotropic and heterogeneous metallurgical structure of the welds. We are carrying out a research program in order to evaluate the influence of the main paramet...

The aim of the article was the presentation of the ecological eff ects achieved in the metallurgical company in Poland after privatization and overall, thorough restructuring. For the need to conduct privatization of the state-owned enterprises and their restricting resulted from the transformation of the national economy. The market system forced the introduction of the changes in the function...

obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at mobarakeh steel company. the effects of different parameters including the heat resu...

Properties and serviceability of additively manufactured components are affected by their geometry, microstructure and defects. These important attributes are now optimized by trial and error because the essential process variables cannot currently be selected from scientific principles. A recourse is to build and rigorously validate a digital twin of the additive manufacturing process that can...

Metallurgical slag, including ferrochrome slag is internationally recognized as suitable material for use in road construction and as aggregate for concrete (Rossouw et al. 1981, Lind et al. 2001). Contrary to international practice, metallurgical slag – including ferrochrome slagis classified as hazardous waste that must be de-listed before use in other applications (DWAF 1998). Having adopted...

Failure mechanisms contributed by stress or material fatigue have been witnessed in several industrial as well as at R&D applications in various forms. Metallurgical studies for failure analysis have ensured the contributions of residual stress in several cases. The most important and common consideration in all these cases has been the material. Definitely, there may be other contributing fact...

Proper estimation of the metallurgical recovery is very important for the assessment of the economical value of a mining business. As this quantity is nonadditive, it is not possible to model its spatial variability or to perform its estimation directly. In the present work, we first recall that additivity can concern the intrinsic nature of point-support quantities, and not only the usual supp...

This paper provides a framework for optimization of Induction Hardening parameters by using Intelligent Techniques. Heat Treatment of Iron Alloy is carried out for improving Mechanical and Metallurgical properties like Ductility, Toughness, Hardness, and Tensile Strength etc. These properties play a important role for selection of material in Manufacturing Field. Induction Hardening on iron all...
