The article presents research on finishing treatment applied to components made of Inconel through 3D printing by Laser Powder Bed Fusion method. Vibration-abrasive machining was carried out using a supporting fluid and various shapes of abrasive. The effects of the processing conditions were analysed based on the surface roughness of the samples and mass loss. The obtained collective results were subjected to comparative analysis with the effects of vibratory-abrasive processing without the use of a processing fluid, as presented in the article. The research has shown that using vibration-abrasive processing, it is possible to reduce the height of surface irregularities by more than three times after four hours of treatment. The intensity of processing was the highest in the first hour of the process. The lowest roughness heights Ra = 1.8 μm were obtained using ceramic balls in the presence of a supporting fluid.

This article defines the effect of surface roughness on a selection of tribological properties of systems with AlTiN coatings. Friction-wear tests were carried out on a tribological tester, which operates as a sphere and disc assembly in a frictional, sliding motion. The tests were conducted under a load of 10 N over a friction distance of 1,000 m. Steel discs made of HS6-5-2C with an AlTiN coating and steel balls made of 100Cr6 were used for the test Trials were carried out under lubrication conditions with polyalphaolefin oil PAO 8 and polyalphaolefin oil containing 1.5% zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP). The chemical composition of the AlTiN coating was studied using a scanning electron microscope, and the wear marks on the discs and spheres were observed. The geometric structure of the samples was analysed before and after the geometric structure of the samples using a interferometer, and after tribological tests. Research has shown that surface roughness affects tribological properties. For samples with a higher surface roughness (Sa = 0.61 µm) – unpolished discs – lower linear wear values were obtained than for polished discs (Sa = 0.08 µm). After the introduction of the PAO 8 additive with ZDDP, a reduction in linear wear of 33% and 24% was observed for both polished and unpolished surfaces, respectively.

W artykule określono wpływ chropowatości powierzchni na wybrane właściwości tribologiczne systemów z powłokami AlTiN. Badania tarciowo-zużyciowe przeprowadzono na testerze tribologicznym pracującym w skojarzeniu trącym kula–tarcza w ruchu ślizgowym. Testy wykonano przy obciążeniu 10 N na drodze tarcia równej 1000 m. Do badań użyto tarcze ze stali HS6-5-2C z naniesioną powłoką AlTiN i kule ze stali 100Cr6. Testy przeprowadzono w warunkach smarowania olejem poli(α)olefinowym PAO 8 oraz olejem poli(α)olefinowym z dodatkiem 1,5% dialkiloditiofosforanu cynku ZDDP. Za pomocą mikroskopu skaningowego zbadano skład chemiczny powłoki AlTiN, a także obserwowano ślady wytarcia na tarczach i kulach. Przy użyciu mikroskopu konfokalnego z trybem interferometrycznym dokonano analizy struktury geometrycznej próbek przed oraz po testach tribologicznych. Uzyskane wyniki badań wyskazały, że chropowatość powierzchni ma wpływ na właściwości tribologiczne. Dla próbek o większej chropowatości powierzchni (Sa = 0,61 µm) – tarcz niepolerowanych – uzyskano mniejsze wartości zużycia liniowego niż dla tarcz polerowanych (Sa = 0,08 µm). Po wprowadzeniu do PAO 8 dodatku ZDDP zaobserwowano spadek zużycia liniowego zarówno dla polerowanej i niepolerowanej powierzchni odpowiednio o 33% oraz 24%.

Przedstawiono wyniki badań doświadczalnych opisujących wpływ prędkości skrawania w procesie szlifowania Inconelu 625 na właściwości funkcjonalne obrabianych powierzchni i ich morfologię. Stwierdzono, że morfologia obrabianej powierzchni i jej cechy funkcjonalne zmieniały się wraz ze zmianą prędkości skrawania. Wzrost prędkości skrawania prowadził do poprawy właściwości funkcjonalnych powierzchni opisanych parametrami krzywej Abbotta i Firestone’a oraz chropowatości. Zaobserwowano lokalne optimum, dla którego dalsze zwiększenie prędkości skrawania nie prowadziło do istotnej zmiany wartości badanych parametrów.

Inconel 625 samples were subjected to the grinding process at 3 levels of cutting speed (13, 23 and 33 m/s). Anal. of topographic features of the machined surfaces and their morphol. was carried out using a scanning profilometer and SEM. The evaluation of the functional properties of the machined surfaces was carried out by analyzing the parameters of the Abbott-Firestone surface curve. The morphol. of the machined surface and its functional properties changed with the change of cutting speed. The increase in cutting speed was accompanied by an improvement in the functional properties of the surface with a local optimum, for which a further increase in cutting speed did not lead to a significant change in the values of the tested parameters.

Jakość powierzchni materiałów włókienniczych odgrywa istotną rolę zarówno w dalszym procesie przetwarzania tych materiałów, jak również w kształtowaniu właściwość i funkcjonalności odzieży z nich wykonanej. Jedną w kluczowych właściwości powierzchniowych jest chropowatość, a w szerszym ujęciu, struktura geometryczna powierzchni, zwana też topografią powierzchni. Może ona być wyznaczana za pomocą metod kontaktowych i bezkontaktowych. We włókiennictwie zazwyczaj wykorzystywana jest metoda kontaktowa pomiaru chropowatości powierzchni z zastosowaniem przyrządu KES-FB4. Metody bezkontaktowe, bardziej dokładne i dostarczające znacznie więcej informacji na temat struktury powierzchni niż metody kontaktowe, są rzadko używane w pomiarach materiałów włókienniczych. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie możliwości kompleksowej charakterystyki struktury geometrycznej powierzchni materiałów włókienniczych za pomocą metod bezkontaktowych. Zaprezentowano przykładowe badania tkanin bawełnianych za pomocą profilometru FRT MicroSpy® Profile współpracującego z oprogramowaniem Mark III. Omówiono wytypowane parametry oraz funkcje charakteryzujące topografię powierzchni badanych tkanin.

The surface quality of textile materials plays an important role both in the further processing of these materials and in shaping the properties and functionality of clothing made from them. One of the key surface properties is roughness, and in a broader sense, the geometric structure of the surface, also called surface topography. It can be determined using contact and non-contact methods. In textile metrology, the contact method of surface roughness measurement is usually applied using the KES-FB4 device. Non-contact methods, which are more accurate and provide much more information on the surface structure than contact methods, are rarely used in fabrics’ measurements. The aim of the article is to present the possibilities of comprehensive characterization of the geometric structure of surface of textile materials using non-contact methods. The article presents the exemplary results of measurement of cotton woven fabrics by means of the FRT MicroSpy® Profile profilometer cooperating with the Mark III. Selected parameters and functions characterizing the surface topography of the tested fabrics are discussed to show their meaning.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of selected parameters on the quality of plasma cutting. The main parameter studied was the cutting speed and how it affects the roughness of the cut surface. The second parameter analyzed was the currentintensity adjusted depending on the thickness of the material being cut, which also has a significant effect on the surface quality of the metal being cut. The evaluation of the quality of the cut surface was carried out on 8, 20, 30 and 35 mm thick sheets of S235JR grade steel. Several samples were selected from each thickness for measurement and testing. The samples were cut with a MAGNUM CUT 160 plasma cutter. The results show that the current intensity and the speed of the torch pass have a significanteffect on the quality of the cut surface.

The effect of fluoride use on the color change and surface characteristics of coated nickel and titanium (NiTi) orthodontic archwires was investigated. Epoxy resin, PTFE or rhodium-coated archwires were exposed to acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) or sodium fluoride (NaF) or artificial saliva (AS), simulating three-month clinical trials. Color changes (ΔE) were assessed using a laboratory spectrophotometer in the three-dimensional CIELab color space. The roughness (Ra) and surface structure of the archwires were examined using a non-contact profilometer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Data were analyzed using two-way and one-way variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Bonferroni test (α=0.05). The average values of ΔE and Ra were the highest for epoxy-APF archwires and the lowest for rhodium-AS archwires. A significant relationship was found between the archwires surface treatment method and the ΔE and Ra values. After three months, greater changes in color and roughness were observed with APF than with AS.

Łuki powlekane żywicą epoksydową, PTFE lub rodem poddano działaniu zakwaszonego fluorku fosforanu (APF) lub fluorku sodu (NaF) lub sztucznej śliny (AS), symulując trzymiesięczne próby kliniczne. Zmianę koloru (ΔE) oceniano za pomocą spektrofotometru laboratoryjnego w trójwymiarowej przestrzeni kolorów CIELab. Chropowatość (Ra) i strukturę powierzchni łuków badano za pomocą odpowiednio bezkontaktowego profilometru i skaningowej mikroskopii elektronowej (SEM). Do analizy danych zastosowano dwuczynnikową i jednoczynnikową wariancję (ANOVA) oraz test Bonferroniego post-hoc (α=0,05). Wartości średnie ΔE i Ra były największe dla łuków epoksydowych-APF, a najmniejsze dla rodowych-AS. Stwierdzono istotną zależność pomiędzy metodą obróbki powierzchni łuków a wartością ΔE i Ra. Po trzech miesiącach większe zmiany koloru i chropowatości zaobserwowano w przypadku działania APF niż AS.

Objectives was to determine the durability of pins and sleeves used in the construction of a cycloidal gear. The methods used were based on a comparative analysis of selected macro photos of their surfaces and representative surface profiles recorded before and after the bench tests and the Ra and Rz surface roughness values determined on their basis. Before and after the bench tests, the weight of each sleeve and pin was measured, their surface profiles were recorded and micro photos of these surfaces were taken. Based on each recorded surface profile, the roughness parameters Ra and Rz were determined. The advantages of using steel sleeves in the cycloidal drive structure, increasing its durability, have been demonstrated by the low mass wear of the sleeves and the low surface roughness parameters Ra and Rz. It was shown that the appropriate accuracy of the pins and sleeves is necessary.

This article deals with the effects of electrical discharge machining (EDM) on the chemical composition and microstructure of cast Alnico alloys, i.e., iron-based alloys composed of aluminum, nickel and cobalt. The experiments focused on determining the chemical composition of the surface layer before and after the EDM process. The microstructure of the material altered by the EDM was also examined. The study included measurement of the thickness of the white layer characteristic of EDM. It is evident that low values of the surface roughness parameters can be obtained by correctly selecting the EDM process parameters. The average surface roughness reported in the experiments was 1 μm. The surface roughness measurements were conducted with a Talysurf CCI lite non-contact profiler. The metrological results also indicate that lower surface roughness can be obtained at small discharge energies.

A significant increase in roughness of dieless-drawn wires due to the strain-induced roughness phenomenon has been documented. For small-diameter wires, even a slight surface relief creates stress concentrations that may contribute to the wire breakage during cold drawing. This, in turn, significantly limits the achievable diameter of the product and the efficiency of drawing process. The present study, however, demonstrates that reducing the wire roughness is possible by combining the dieless and conventional drawing methods. Thus, it is possible to improve the process workability threefold when compared to dieless drawing alone, and the product quality is simultaneously improved. In addition, the surface defects typical to the dieless-drawn wires have been significantly reduced, resulting in an increase in the wire strength. This new combined technology enables a significant reduction in the wire diameter and facilitates an economical large-scale production of ultra-thin wires. In addition, based on the classic drawing and dieless drawing process, a brass wire with a diameter of 0.017 mm has been manufactured. Six times thinner than a human hair, it is believed to be the thinnest long brass wire currently manufactured in the world.

The study assessed the changing of Ra, Rp, Rv and Rz roughness parameters of the sanded beech surface (Fagus sylvatica L.) as a function of different grit sizes and different measurement direction. The milled samples were ground with a belt sander BS-75 E-set from Festool with belt grit P60, P100 and P150. The sanding belts were Rubin 2 from Festool. Roughness was evaluated using a Keyence VHX-7000 digital microscope. The evaluation length of the roughness measurement was 12.5 mm (λc = 2.5 mm and λs = 8 mm). The R-parameters were measured in accordance with the latest standards ISO 21920 (2022) in the direction parallel to the grain, and in the direction perpendicular to the grain (profile). The paper proves the theoretical assumptions about the reduction of R-parameter values. The measurements showed that the sanded surface was less rough in the direction perpendicular to the grain at P150 sanding belt grit and in the grain direction at P100 grit.

In order to investigate the cavitation erosion (CE) resistance of high-alloyed ferrous hardfacings, the three different deposits were pad welded by the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) method. Consumable electrodes differed in the content of carbide-forming elements, and pad welds were deposited onto the S235JR structural. The CE tests, conducted according to ASTM G32 standard, indicated that hardfacings reveal lower mass loss than the reference stainless steel AISI 304 (X5CrNi18-10). The hardfacings show increasing resistance to CE in the following order: Cr-C < Cr-C-Mo < Cr-C-Mo-V-W. The reference steel revealed more than twenty times higher material loss in the CE test than Cr-C-Mo-V-W hardfacing, which had outstanding hardness (825HV0.3). The profilometric measurements and scanning electron microscopy investigations showed large changes in valley and peak sizes of the roughness profiles for materials which displayed high erosion rates. The erosion mechanism of the coatings can be classified as brittle-ductile and relies on cracking, chunk removal of material, pits and craters formation, and deformation of fractured material tips and edges. Hardfacing materials failed primarily due to brittle fractures with different severities. Specimen surface degradation follows the changes in Ra, Rz, Rv, and Rp roughness parameters and well-corresponds to the proposed roughness rate (RR) parameter.

W celu zbadania odporności na erozję kawitacyjną (EK) wysokostopowych napoin na osnowie żelaza napawano trzema materiałami metodą SMAW. Elektrody otulone różniły się zawartością pierwiastków węglikotwórczych. Napoiny wykonano na stali konstrukcyjnej S235JR. Testy EK, przeprowadzone zgodnie z normą ASTM G32, wykazały niższy ubytek masy napoin w porównaniu do referencyjnej stali odpornej na korozję AISI 304 (X5CrNi18-10). Napoiny wykazują rosnącą odporność na EK w następującej kolejności: Cr-C < Cr-C-Mo < Cr-C-Mo-V-W. Referencyjna próbka stalowa wykazała w teście EK ponad dwudziestokrotnie większy ubytek materiału niż napoina Cr-C-Mo-V-W, która miała wyjątkowo wysoką twardość (825HV0.3). Pomiary profilometryczne i badania przeprowadzone przy użyciu skaningowego mikroskopu elektronowego wykazały duże zmiany wielkości dolin i szczytów profilu chropowatości dla materiałów wykazujących wysoką szybkość erozji. Mechanizm EK powłok można sklasyfikować jako krucho-plastyczny i opiera się na pękaniu, usuwaniu kawałków materiału, tworzeniu wgłębień i kraterów oraz deformacji pękniętych fragmentów kraterów oraz deformacji wyodrębnionych szczytów i krawędzi materiału. Napawany materiał podlega niszczeniu przez jego pękanie w różnym nasileniu. Degradacja powierzchni próbek pogłębia się wraz ze zmianą parametrów chropowatości Ra, Rz, Rv i Rp i dobrze koresponduje z proponowanym parametrem RR (zmiana chropowatości pow. degradowanej).

In manufacturing processes many technological operations are designed, in which the adhesive properties of the treated surface are very important. These are processes related to application of any coating on the surface, such as gluing, painting, varnishing and others. Durability of coatings depends on proper preparation of the surface to which they are going to be applied. Conventional methods, such as grinding, sandblasting with subsequent washing and degreasing, as well as galvanic treatment applied to e.g. aluminium alloys - require the use of not only specific equipment but also chemical substances. They often lead to a significant burden on the environment due to their harmful properties. In an experimental study, attention was drawn to the significant environmental aspects of such a technological process and work was carried out to demonstrate whether it is possible to eliminate toxic and hazardous substances and to create good adhesion conditions by laser processing. To this purpose, samples were made out of two representative materials: X6Cr17 steel and AW-2024 aluminium alloy, abrasive surface treatment or in a galvanic bath and then washed, degreased and dried. Laser surface treatment without the use of additional chemicals was proposed as an environmentally cleaner technology. Surface roughness and adhesion of the test polymer coating were measured for comparative evaluation of the applied treatment methods. Obtained results were discussed in terms of the possibility of eliminating harmful influences and implementing laser treatment as a cleaner technology in the production of components requiring coating.

A morphological change due to Si contend into Al-based automotive alloys has been conducted on the characterization of machined surfaces in terms of roughness, temperature, chips formation as well as microstructure evaluation under different machining conditions. For this experiment, a shaper machine with HSS single point V-shaped cutting tool is used at different cutting speeds and depths of cut. The experimental results show that the surface roughness of the alloys decreases with the cutting speed and depth of cut but it is more prominent in the case of the cutting speed. This is because of a high cutting speed, which is more associated with the higher temperature and softening the work material leading to better surface finish. Higher Si added alloys also exhibit a better surface finish because the sample content is different fine and hard intermetallic due to ageing treatment, which also makes the alloys more brittle. For brittle and higher hardness, it produces a higher temperature during machining. During machining, relatively curly and short chips are formed by the high Si added alloy because of its low elongation properties. The fracture surfaces of higher Si added alloy display more crack propagation obtained by plate-like Si rich intermetallic.

This paper presents authors’ own tests of the impact strength of concrete. The impact tests were carried out using a pendulum ballistic hammer, two types of concrete with natural aggregate: with pebble (river) gravel aggregate and medium-grained crushed granite aggregate. The concretes were tested on cubic specimens with varying W/C ratios (0.40; 0.45; 0.50; 0.55). The surface roughness of the grains in the aggregates used for the concretes was measured using a profilometer. Concrete impact strength was determined by the energy absorbed by the specimen until failure. Concrete impact strength (EA) was compared with compressive strength (fc), tensile strength (fct) and stress intensity factor (K1c).

Several studies have been conducted to improve and model the lubricated contact between surfaces. The main subjects were defining the hydrodynamic parameters to reduce energy losses and protect the environment. Some of the proposed models have studied the effect of textures in hydrodynamic lubrication and have proved that adapted shapes and geometries can improve the performance of lubricated contacts. A hydrodynamic model was developed by assuming the roughness of the textured surface and considering the cavitation in a steady-state regime. The proposed model was validated and compared with the analytical model of Fowell et al. [1]. Three different textures shapes were considered. The results showed that the rough-textured thrust affects the hydrodynamic performance significantly. Thus, by increasing the arithmetic roughness of textured surfaces, the hydrodynamic pressure, and the lifting force increase depending on the texture shape. A rougher surface slightly increases the friction force for the three considered textures.

This work presents the factors determining cast iron, and particularly austenitic high-alloy cast iron as a construction material, which is ranked among the leading casting alloys of iron with carbon, mainly due to its very good service properties, which makes it dedicated as a material for automotive castings, pipe and fitting castings and components resistant to elevated temperatures, corrosion and abrasive wear. Construction materials currently used in industry have increasingly better properties and their potential is depleting quickly. This forces the manufacturers to adjust the requirements and production capabilities of cast iron using the most modern technologies that give the expected beneficial economic and operating effects. The paper quotes the results of research in the field of the offered technologies that give special surface features to machine parts made of cast iron by modernising the parameters of the technological process of obtaining high-alloy austenitic cast iron, i.e., by applying coatings, as well as by appropriate surface treatment, the aim of which is and reinforce the material surface with those properties which are important in a given application.

The occurrence of faults in coal seams has an impact on the possibility of methane hazard. There are several methods for identifying tectonic faults, but they cannot be applied directly to solve dynamic hazard problems in coal mine. Thus, searching for appropriate methods, that can detect faults in regional and local scales is needed. In order to meet this need, the paper proposes a new measurement method of estimating changes to the coal structure, based on profilometry measurements (roughness analysis) and application of madogram functions. Based on examining coal samples from near fault zones it was shown that the proposed approach allows us to detect changes of the coal surface that appear as the distance to a tectonic fault gets shorter. The proposed method, due to its simplicity and speed of measurement, implies a potential for practical application in the process of detecting local tectonic dislocations in coal mines.
