Selective laser melting is one of the additive manufacturing technologies that is used to produce complex-shaped components for applications in the automotive industry. The purpose of the changes in the design, technology, and material tests was to make a steering gear housing using the SLM method. The steering gear housing was produced by the pressure casting method using an AlSi9Cu3(Fe) alloy. The construction of this housing is adapted to the specifics of left-hand traffic. The change in technology was related to the change of the position of the steering system from right-hand to left-hand and the demand for a limited number of gear housings. It was necessary to make a virtual model of the housing on the basis of the part that was removed from the vehicle. In SLM technology, the AlSi10Mg aluminum alloy was used as a raw material in the form of CL 32Al gas-atomized powder. After the SLM process was completed, the housings were subjected to heat treatment. The AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by the SLM method after heat treatment is characterized by good plasticity and an average value of tensile strength. The last stage was to check the geometry of the SLM housing with a 3D scanner. As a result, a map of the dimensional deviations from the nominal values was obtained. This data was used to modify the CAD model before the next fabrication process. The use of 3D printing technology allowed for the quick production of elements. The time to develop the technology and the production of the first two gear housings based on a 3D model was seven days.

Fatigue investigations of two 4XXX0-series aluminum alloys (acc. PN-EN 1706) within a range of fewer than 104 cycles at a coefficient of cycle asymmetry of R = –1 were performed in the current paper. The so-called modified low-cycle test, which provided additional information concerning the fatigue life and strength of the tested alloys, was also performed. The obtained results were presented in the form of diagrams: stress amplitude σa – number of cycles before damage N. On the basis of the microscopic images of sample fractures, the influence of the observed casting defects on the decrease of cycle numbers at a given level of stress amplitude were analyzed. Based on the images and dimensions of the observed defects, stress intensity factor KI was analytically determined for each. Their numerical models were also made, and stress intensity factor KI was calculated by the finite element method (FEM).

Based on the example of the development process of the cast suspension of a special-purpose vehicle the application of the integrated engineering design methodology (ICME – Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) and the development of construction has been presented. Identification of the operating and critical loads, which are guidelines for carrying out the structure strength shaping process, material and technological conversion, are due to the needs and requirements of the suspension system and the purpose and objectives of the special mobile platform. The developed cast suspension element construction includes the use of high-strength AlZnMgCu aluminum alloy. The properties of the used alloy and designed shape allows for the transfer of assumed operating loads in normal exploitation conditions and in the dynamic, critical loads to the susceptibility to damage in the assumed casting areas. For the proposed design, conducted numerical analyzes includes the impact of the shock wave pulse on the occurrence of the destructive stress fields. Based on their distribution, the areas of possible decomposition of the structure of the design element were estimated. The results allowed to devise an element with predicted destructions that allow to absorb a significant part of the impact energy of the shock wave front, which is also the buffer zone for the propagation of destruction for the critical kinematic nodes of the system.

The paper presents the results of the experimental and numerical analysis of material destruction of honeycomb cellular structure. Based on the experimental research, the results of numerical calculations regarding the compression process were verified along with the correctness of used constitutive numerical model. The destruction was analyzed for the casting with no structural defects and for the casting with detected porosities. The results were compared to the structural strength of the honeycomb structure manufactured on the CNC machine. The metallic honeycomb structure was manufactured as a casting of Al alloy in the investment casting technology. For manufacturing purposes the honeycomb model was obtained in additive manufacturing process. The castings and the CNC honeycomb were used in the compression test trials. The process was controlled by the displacement and the results were registered as the changes of the height and the force value. Based on the experimental results the numerical model of honeycombs was introduced for the numerical analysis of the energy absorption and compression process. The results showed good correlation between the experiment and FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis.

The article presents the concept of division of a carbon block into single cathode sections to reduce stresses that occur during thermal shock accompanying the operation of pouring cast iron into a shaped groove in which the current-carrying steel pin is mounted. The temperature field and the state of stress were determined by FEM. Experimental measurements were used to determine the core displacement during pouring operation. The calculations were verified by thermovision and photoelastic method. Based on the temperature field and stress field analysis, a method for the block division into sections has been proposed, resulting in a significant reduction of the stress level.

The ecological meanings clearly indicates the need of reducing of the concentration of the CO2 in the atmosphere, which can be accomplished through the lowering of the fuel consumption. This fact implies the research for the new construction solutions regarding the reduction of the weight of vehicles. The reduced weight of the vehicle is also important in the case of application of the alternative propulsion, to extend the lifetime of the batteries with the reduction of recharge cycles. The use of cast alloy AlZnMgCu compliant of plastic forming class 7xxx alloy, are intended to significantly reduce the weight of the structures, while ensuring high strength properties. The wide range of the solidification temperature, which is more than 150°C, characterizes this alloy with a high tendency to create the micro and macro porosity. The study presents the relationship between the cooling rate and the area of occurrence and percentage of microporosity. Then the results were linked to the local tensile strength predicted in the simulation analysis. The evaluation of the microporosity was performed on the basis of the CT (computed tomography) and the analysis of the alloy microstructure. The microstructure analysis was carried out on test specimen obtained from the varying wall thickness of the experimental casting. The evaluation of the mechanical properties was prepared on the basis of the static tensile test and the modified low cycle fatigue test (MLCF).

Theory and practice of environmental protection in the case of foundries in Europe and Asia. Every specialist dealing with foundry processes and their impact on environmental pollution must have encountered in their professional careers numerous situations in which the theory of environmental protection confronts the stark reality. The discrepancy between theory and practice can particularly be noticed in foundry engineering in developing countries where the contrasts between different countries and casting plants are extremely striking. The comparison of working conditions in European and Asian foundries provides a vast scope for further observations and analyses. Environmental protection seems not only a concern of manufacturers of castings, but also of their customers whose opinion exerts a significant influence on both the acceptability of working conditions and on the approach to environmental pollution adopted in metal casting industry. The article presents a number of examples of various outlooks on environmental issues in foundries manufacturing a wide range of cast steel and cast iron castings, where different technologies and production processes are applied.

Rapid development of the methods of additive manufacturing (AM) introduces a number of changes to the design of foundry equipment. AM methods are of particular importance in the development of technology to make small lots of castings or single cast items of complex shapes, such as skeleton castings manufactured also by means of other technologies [1]. AM methods create the possibility of making single-use moulds, cores and wax patterns, as well as patterns made from plastics for repeated use. The development of AM techniques gives theoretically unlimited possibilities in the choice of the designed casting configurations. This fact can be used during the analysis of casting mechanical properties based on the methods of topology optimisation [2], [3], [17], when the said optimisation carried out at the initial stage of design ”matches” the shape of parts to the field of stresses or displacements caused by external load and fixing mode. The article discusses the possibilities and advantages that result from combining the new methods of shaping the casting endurance with AM technologies.

W artykule zaprezentowano możliwości integracji nowoczesnych technologii wykonania oprzyrządowania odlewniczego oraz metod optymalizacji konstrukcji. Systemy przyrostowego wytwarzania (ang. additiv manufacturing, AM) pozwalają na projektowanie bardzo złożonych kształtów konstrukcji, spełniających w znacznie większym stopniu, niż inne metody technologiczne, kryteria kształtowania wytrzymałościowego. Niektóre z szerokiej gamy metod AM, omówione w niniejszym artykule, są szczególnie przydatne w wytwarzaniu form i rdzeni ceramicznych oraz metalowych części oprzyrządowania odlewniczego. Omówiono zastosowanie metod optymalizacji topologicznej w kształtowaniu konstrukcji we wczesnej fazie projektowania, szczególnie w tym przypadku, gdy określone są jedynie założenia dotyczące funkcjonowania podparć i sił działających na obiekt. Przykłady optymalizacji wykonano w oparciu o własny algorytm obliczeniowy, który umożliwia przemieszczanie i eliminowanie masy wewnątrz obszaru projektowego, tak aby przy określonych warunkach brzegowych i sposobie obciążenia, otrzymać najbardziej korzystny stosunek wytrzymałości do masy odlewu. Z reguły w wyniku zastosowania powyższego algorytmu powstają konstrukcje o złożonym kształcie - przestrzenne ramy lub kratownice oraz powierzchnie nie dające się opisać za pomocą prostych jednostek geometrycznych, dla których wykonania właściwe jest stosowanie przyrostowych metod wytwarzania oprzyrządowania odlewniczego.

Based on the criterion of ductile fracture and progressive degradation of material stiffness, the finite element method (FEM) was used to determine changes in components of the stress state in a numerical model of the spheroidal graphite precipitate and ferritic matrix under the influence of increasing tensile forces leading ultimately to the matrix fracture. For different densities of the graphite precipitates, an increase in the volume of void surrounding the graphite precipitate at an instant of the fracture fonnation was calculated, assuming it to be equal to a critical value fCR of the void volume fraction in the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needelman (GTN) model. Using the GTN yield condition, in which the previously determined values offCR were allowed for, stretching of a cylindrical specimen until rupture was simulated by FEM, comparing the resulting stress-strain curve with the curve determined experimentally for the EN-GJS-400-18 cast iron.

Na podstawie kryterium pękania ciągliwego oraz progresywnej degradacji sztywności materiału, metodą elementów skończonych (MES), wyznaczono zmiany wartości składowych stanu naprężenia w modelu numerycznym wydzielenia grafitu kulkowego i osnowy ferrytycznej pod wpływem rosnącej wartości sił rozciągających, aż do chwili pęknięcia osnowy. Dla różnych gęstości wydzieleń grafitu określono przyrost objętości pustki otaczającej wydzielenie grafitu w momencie powstania pęknięcia, przyjmując założenie, że jest ona równa krytycznej wartości udziału objętościowego pustek fcrz W modelu Gursona-Tvergaarda-Needelmana (GTN). Stosując warunek plastyczności GTN, w którym uwzględniono wcześniej wyznaczone wartości fCR, metodą MES przeprowadzono symulację rozciągania próbki walcowej, aż do chwili zerwania, porównując uzyskane zależności naprężenie-odkształcenie z doświadczalnie wyznaczoną krzywą rozciągania żeliwa EN-GJS-400-18.
