Material-related grindability variations when grinding recycled and ore-based steel can significantly impair the process efficiency during finishing of automotive crankshafts. To address this problem to achieve more robust processes, underlying causes variation need be understood. The present work investigates feasibility using quality data obtained production study identify material-related ef...

Austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) have an excellent corrosion resistance but relatively-low hardness and yield strength [1,2], leading to limited usage in applications that high values of hardness and wear resistance is necessary for material surface. Therefore, surface properties such as hardness must be improved using appropriate techniques. Mechanical surface treatments such as ultrasonic s...

The large number of requirements and opportunities for automatic identification in manufacturing domains such as automotive and electronics has accelerated the demand for item-level tracking using radio-frequency identification technology. End-users are interested in implementing automatic identification systems, which are capable of ensuring full component process history, traceability and tra...

Existing methods of increasing the strength characteristics parts do not always provide necessary working surfaces. And as a result, durability decreases, in future it is to carry out expensive repairs unit or unit. The ar-ticle considers method surface hardening, which can be applicable operating under alternating loads, particular crankshafts. use plastic deformation plasma coatings makes pos...
