The agri-food industry is a source of various substrates - plants as well as plant and animal residues or waste, which can be recycled. Determining the yield of agri-food waste processing products that can be obtained from them, as well as estimating the local availability of a given raw material allows for the selection of appropriate substrates that guarantee both their effective production and...
This paper concerns issues related to the processes of sheet metal slitting and laser welding in technological lines. It includes a discussion of the industry needs and requirements for semi-finished products in the form of thin metal sheets. Furthermore, the basic technical solutions used in automatic strip slitting equipment and selected process parameters based on a specific material are described...
The research presented in the paper concerns the production of innovative hydrophobizing agents and demonstration their effectiveness on a concrete surface. The starting materials are based on natural oils, water‒soluble silanes and siloxanes, and/or tap water. Aqueous preparations are characterized by properties which reduce the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the environment, as they...
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a rapidly growing field, where interconnected devices and systems are used to improve operational efficiency and productivity. However, the extensive connectivity and data exchange in the IIoT environment make it vulnerable to cyberattacks. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are used to monitor IIoT networks and identify potential security breaches. Feature selection...
The structure, phase and chemical composition of electric-spark coatings (ESC) obtained on the Elitron installation from powder electrode wires were investigated using a Neophot-2 optical computer microscope, an EVO-40XVP (Carl Zeiss) scanning electron microscope, DRON-3.0 X-ray diffractometer, EXPERT 02L elemental composition analyzer. The structure of the ESC is an austenitic matrix with boride...
A method of tribological testing of models with such sliding friction using a simple pin-on-disc mechanism was presented. Wear resistance indicators of unfilled polyamides PA6, PA66 and composites based on polyamide PA6+30GF, PA6+30CF, PA6+MoS2, PA6 and oil coupled with steel C45 are determined. They, as polymeric materials with the property of self-lubrication, they are often used in metal-polymer...
In the field of surface engineering, thermal spraying is very wide adopted in many branches of the industry. The main reasons of such situation are its flexibility as well as cost effectiveness. Among others, High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) technique is dedicated for spraying hardmetal and cermet coatings, especially for wear- and corrosion resistance. Such type of coating could be a promising candidate...
Tube bundles of shell and tube-type heat exchangers often fail because of vibrations produced in tubes due to flow. The turbulence in the flow is the primary cause of vibrations in the tubes. In this study, a tube positioned in the third row of the tube bundle was considered to determine the vibrational response of the heat exchanger tubes. The tube bundle was parallelly arranged in a triangular (60°)...
This paper describes findings in the surface topography of Ti6Al4V alloy after finish turning process under dry and MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) machining. The research was fulfilled in the range of variable feeds per revolution of 0.005-0.25 mm/rev and cutting speeds of 40-100 m/min using the depth of cut of 0.25 mm that fits finish processing conditions. The test plan was developed on the...
This paper presents the results of a study investigating the problem of safety in dry milling magnesium alloy AZ91D. Selected indicators of safe machining were analyzed, including time to ignition, ignition temperature, chip mass and morphology. Experiments were performed using carbide end mills with a variable edge helix angle. It was observed that magnesium alloys could be dry milled without the...
The requirements of sustainable development of the economy force the replacement of the previously used composite materials in the production of elements not only with lighter, but also more durable materials. These materials should meet more and more stringent environmental protection requirements. This study aimed to determine the possibility of introducing a polymer structural composite reinforced...

Heat treatment is the most suitable technique for altering the microstructure and, consequently, it is possible to create the optimal balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in a material by carefully regulating the conditions during the heating process. The present work aims to investigate the effect of heat treatments (annealing) at (300°C) at different times (10, 20, and 30 hr)...
Changes in the resistance of single crystals of p-type conductivity silicon under the action of mechanical loading were investigated in this research. Also, non-irradiated and pre-irradiated X-rays experimental samples were studied. It was found that at small deformation values when they are at the initial stage of the action of elastic deformation, a section forms and increases, on which the resistance...
Fibre-metal laminates combine both the properties of metal and composite materials, reinforced with fibres; first such laminates already appeared at the end of the 70s. Alongside with the emergence of spacecraft, in which the external plating heats up to temperatures even exceeding 3000 °C, there was a demand for new materials, with increased thermal resistance. Moreover, high thermal resistance is...
