  • ABSTRACT: The influence of the initial microstructure on the mechanical properties of 35CrMnSi steel samples is investigated in the article. The main goal of the research is to obtain an initial microstructure, providing a favorable basis for subsequent processing by surface plastic deformation. Four groups of samples are made and subjected to heat treatment in different modes. The first group was examined in the state as-received, the other three processed by: annealing at a temperature of 600ºC with a heating time of 90 min and furnace cooling; annealing at a temperature of 880ºC with a heating time of 90 min and furnace cooling; normalization at a temperature of 880ºC with a heating time of 30 min and air cooling. By phase and microstructural analysis, it was found that phase conversion is present only after normalization, and the resulting structure is a combination of sorbite-like perlite and residual austenite. The samples subjected to normalization show the highest values for tensile strength, hardness, and microhardness compared to the other groups of heat treatment modes.

INFLUENCE OF THE PROCESS PARAMETERS ON THE MICRO-HARDNESS OBTAINED OF DIAMOND BURNISHED AISI 304L STAINLESS STEEL

  • ABSTRACT: Chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels are used in many industrial fields due to their good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, easy deformation in the plastic field and good weldability. Their low hardness, poor tribological properties and the possibility of localized corrosion in specific environments may limit their use. In the temperature range 500-700оС these steels are vulnerable to inter-granular corrosion. As a result, the conventional chemical-thermal treatments, such as nitriding and carburizing, can increase the surface hardness, but at the expense of the corrosion resistance due to the formation of chromium carbides. This disadvantage is overcome by low- temperature nitriding and carburization, which are realized at temperatures below 500 ° C, but these treatments are relatively expensive. As is well known, the austenite is easily hardened by cold plastic deformation. With a higher degree of plastic deformation, the austenite partially turns into alpha prime strain-induced martensite, where the hardness increases significantly. The article presents results for the surface micro-hardness of AISI 304L cylindrical steel specimens treated with diamond burnishing, which is a cheap green technology. The surface cold work was performed on C11 conventional lathe using a burning device with elastic fixation of the deforming polycrystalline diamond insert. The micro-hardness obtained after a previous fine turning of 366 HV0.05 was increased to 609 HV0.05 via diamond burnishing, i.e., the increase is 66.4%.

  • ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work is to develop compositions based on different types of HUPER with the addition of specific amounts of water that do not hinder the cross-linking of the unsaturated polyester. Hydrophilized unsaturated polyester resin (HUPER) diluted with specific amounts of water are presented. The unsaturated polyester resin (UPER) is modified with different reagents (cement, water glass, sodium hydroxide, sulfur) after which the addition of water is completely possible in technical terms. Water-diluted HUPER acquires new specific properties – visually it is more homogeneous, in certain cases it is gypseous, highly embossed and with relatively good strength indicators. The aqueous compositions of combined hydrophilizing agent of 13% SC/ 3.5% WG and 12% SC/7% WG demonstrate increased tensile strength by 50 to 70% and tensile elongation by 90 to 130%. Composites based on NaOH with small amounts of water (up to 15%) show increased tensile strength by up to 47% and increased tensile elongation by up to 100%.

  • ABSTRACT: The paper considers the approach to increase the reliability of the tool based on the analysis of differences in the interaction of tool surfaces individual areas in the implementation of processing. To ensure that the properties of the surface clusters correspond to the conditions of the tool further operation, it is proposed to perform reversible engineering, which is based on the principle of tool wear analysis during its operation. To this end, a methodology for reengineering a diamond-abrasive tool with a clustered working layer has been developed. The scheme of the tool quality initial indicators formation is constructed. Efficiency evaluation of the tool surface modification on a functional basis was performed on the basis of microcutting phenomena modeling.The basic regularities of loadings change of a working surface parts and functional features of the tool working surfaces clusters are established on which requirements to parameters of a diamond layer are formulated. The efficiency of the tool surface modification on the functional basis is proved and the basic regularities of a diamond drill, a saw of the renovator, a diamond string work during material cutting like KIMF are defined.

SEARCH OF METHODS OF CLAMPING OF THIN WALLED CYLINDRYCAL DETAILS WITH THE USE OF GENETIC-MORPHOLOGICAL APPROACH

  • TITLE: SEARCH OF METHODS OF CLAMPING OF THIN WALLED CYLINDRYCAL DETAILS WITH THE USE OF GENETIC-MORPHOLOGICAL APPROACH
  • AUTHOR(S): Ibrahim Farhan Salman Alrefo, Yurii Kuznetsov
  • ABSTRACT: The article introduces a generalized classification of thin-walled cylindrical details and a new approach of genetic morphological synthesis of methods of their clamping based on the latest advances in various areas of science and technology. The article shows that structural solutions of thin-walled cylindrical details used in machine tools, machines, apparatuses and other technological equipment can be classified not only by the ratio of length to outer diameter and end face and by the presence of an end face, but by the availability of outer and inner projections as well. Such a diversity of shapes of various thin-walled cylindrical details influences the choice of the method of clamping them within processing quality assurance. The article gives examples of various methods of axial, radial, tangential clamps, where they are described as genetic codes and structural formulae using them as elementary material medium of hereditary information in mental experiments of a material point. It is noted that the suggested generic-morphological approach with universal genetic synthesis operators can be one of prerequisites of employing the artificial intelligence for anticipation and synthesis of clamping mechanisms and machine tooling in various fields of mechanical assembly manufacturing.
