Przedstawiono wyniki badań mikrotwardości trzech powszechnie stosowanych kompozytów handlowych typu bulk-fill. Celem pracy była ocena wpływu fotopolimeryzacji próbek o grubości nominalnej 2 mm na wytrzymałość stykową powierzchni. Wytrzymałość stykową oceniano w testach mikrotwardości metodą Vickersa. Badano mikrotwardość na powierzchniach naświetlanej (LC) i nienaświetlanej (NLC) lampą stomatologiczną UV. W badaniach wykorzystano lampę z funkcją soft start. Próbki przed badaniem mikrotwardości kondycjonowano w sztucznej ślinie w temp. 36,7°C. Wyniki badań poddano analizie statystycznej. W przypadku jednego kompozytu B-F wykazano brak istotnych różnic mikrotwardości na powierzchni LC i NLC. Mikrotwardość kompozytów TPF i EU na powierzchni NLC była istotnie większa niż na LC. Ponadto różnica mikrotwardości powierzchni LC i NLC kompozytu EU była największa.

Knowing the material properties is of a crucial importance when planning to manufacture some struc-ture. That is true for the steel structures, as well. Thus, for the proper planning of a certain steel part or a structure production, one must be aware of the properties of the material, to be able to make a qualified decision, which material should be used. Considering that the manufacturing of steel prod-ucts is constantly growing in various branches of industry and engineering, the problem of predicting the material properties, needed to satisfy the requirements for the certain part efficient and reliable functioning, becomes an imperative in the design process. A method of predicting four material prop-erties of the two stainless steels, by use of the artificial neural network (ANN) is presented in this article. Those properties were predicted based on the particular steels’ known chemical compositions and the corresponding material properties available in the Cambridge Educational System EDU PACK 2010 software, using neural network module of MathWorks Matlab. The method was verified by com-paring the values of the material properties predicted by this method to known values of properties for the two stainless steels, X5CrNi18-10 (AISI 304), X5CrNiMo17-12-2 (AISI 316). The difference be-tween the two sets of values was below 5% and, in some cases, even negligible.

The article aims to characterize Hadfield steel by analyzing its chemical composition, mechanical properties, and microstructure. The study focused on the twinning-induced work hardening of the alloy, which led to an increase in its hardness. The experimental data show that the material hardness at the surface improved considerably after solution heat treatment and work hardening, reaching more than 750 HV. By contrast, the hardness of the material core in the supersaturated condition was about 225 HV. The chemical and phase compositions of the material at the surface were compared with those of the core. The microstructural analysis of the steel revealed characteristic decarburization of the surface layer after solution heat treatment. The article also describes the effects of heat treatment on the properties and microstructure of Hadfield steel. The volumetric (qualitative) analysis of the computed tomography (CT) data of Hadfield steel subjected to heavy dynamic loading helped detect internal flaws, assess the material quality, and potentially prevent the structural failure or damage of the element tested.

Manufacturers always seek for quality and effective welding to stay competitive in the market. There is a continuous demand for a quick and efficient manufacturing set ups for new products. GMAW is among the welding processes that is wieldy used in the industry. Welding factors such as welding voltage, welding current, gas flow rate, filler wire size and welding speed play a significant role in determining the welding quality. Taguchi design uses optimization technique for the process of experimentation as an effort to improve productivity and enhance product quality. This study discusses the welding of commercial steel welded using GMAW. The welding was controlled by welding current, welding speed and groove shape to test their influence on the welding strength, tensile strength and hardness. X groove shape welding has obtained lower tensile strength and hardness than V groove shape as did higher welding current and lower welding speed. The results concluded that welding current welding had the highest influence on tensile strength and hardness of the welding, followed by groove shape, while the welding speed had the minimum influence. The optimized combination of welding factors is 170 A, V groove shape and 150 mm/min.

Fine-grained high-manganese X120Mn12 grade steel was subjected to a two-stage heat treatment consisting of long-term isothermal annealing at 510°C, which was followed by resaturation in order to reduce the negative effect of the brittle carbide carbides of manganese cementite (Fe,Mn)3 C. The objective of the experiment was to elucidate the effects of distinct stages of heat treatment on the properties of high manganese steel with regard to its resistance to abrasive wear. Supersaturation was performed for eleven different variations of temperature values ranging from 600°C to 1100°C to verify its effect on the resistance to abrasion wearunder abrasion conditions. An increase in the supersaturation temperature results in the gradual coagulation and disintegration of the colonies of pearlite and needle-like carbides (Fe,Mn)3 C formed during isothermal annealing. At the same time, as a result of the PSN (particle stimulated nucleation) process, the microstructure of austenite undergoes partial refinement, which ultimately increases the resistance to abrasive wear. As a result of the final microstructural changes resulted in an increase in the resistance to abrasion of approximately 6% compared to the initial state.

Drobnoziarnistą stal wysokomanganową gatunku X120Mn12 poddano dwustopniowej obróbce cieplnej złożonej z długoterminowego izotermicznego wygrzewania w temperaturze 510°C, a następnie ponownemu przesycaniu w celu zredukowania negatywnego wpływu kruchych wydzieleń węglików cementytu manganowego (Fe,Mn)3 C. Eksperyment miał na celu poznanie wpływu poszczególnych etapów obróbki cieplnej na właściwości stali wysokomanganowej w kontekście odporności na zużycie ścierne. Etap przesycania zrealizowano dla jedenastu różnych wariantów wartości temperatury z zakresu od 600°C do 1100°C w celu zweryfikowania jej wpływu na odporność na zużycie ścierne. Wzrost temperatury przesycania skutkuje stopniową koagulacją oraz rozpadem powstałych w trakcie wyżarzania izotermicznego kolonii perlitu oraz iglastych węglików (Fe,Mn)3 C. Jednocześnie w wyniku procesu PSN (ang. particles stimulated nucleation) mikrostruktura austenitu ulega częściowemu rozdrobnieniu, co finalnie wpływa na wzrost odporności na zużycie ścierne. W wyniku końcowych zmian mikrostrukturalnych uzyskano wzrost odporności na ścieranie o około 6% w porównaniu do stanu wyjściowego dla wariantu obróbki cieplnej złożonego z etapu długoterminowego izotermicznego wyżarzania w temperaturze 510°C oraz następującego po nim przesycania w temperaturze 750°C. Wzrost odporności wywołany został wydzieleniem globularnych węglików (Fe,Mn)3 C oraz powstaniem nowych ziaren austenitu.

Based on the commercial aluminium alloy powder blend (Alumix 431D) metal matrix composites reinforced with particles of SiC as well as TiC were produced by conventional powder metallurgy technology and the effect of the type and amounts of reinforced particles on the selected properties and microstructure of sintered composites were investigated. In particular, the densification behaviour, the wear resistance and the corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution were identified. It was stated that both the type and the weight fraction of carbide used as particulate reinforcement have a great impact on the properties of aluminium alloy matrix composites. It was shown that the introduction of titanium carbide has a more favourable effect on the properties of sintered Alumix 431D matrix composites in comparison to silicon carbide and the optimum content of TiC in composite is 4 wt. % due to the highest hardness, wear resistance (wear rate of 2.865·10 ̄ ³ mm³/m) and simultaneously the best corrosion resistance (corrosion rate of 0.005 mm/year).

The article presents research methods and appropriate equipment for conducting experiments, as well as the analysis of the results. Studies on the hardness of the microstructure, elastic deformation and parts and samples were carried out using hardness testers, microscopes PMT-3, MIM-8 and devices for measuring the “force-strain” characteristic. The results of the study wer used to establish the dependence of the elastic properties of Belleville springs on the heat treatment modes, while also determining the microstructure and layer depth using various research methods. Every work studying the elastic properties and measurement of the static compressive force of a spring at a given strain value has been studied theoretically. Depending on the operating conditions, disc springs can be installed singly or assembled into packages, forming an elastic element working under compression. The research materials will be used in the work to improve the tightness of straight-through valves and the durability of the shut-off assembly parts. The dependence of the spring compression force and its deformation on the geometrical parameters of the disc springs has been established. Comparison of experimental and theoretical dependences has been made. It has been established that the residual deformation of the Belleville spring after captivity has a negative effect on the tightness of the shut-off valve assembly. The influence of various technological processes and modes of thermal treatment of disc springs on their elastic properties has been studied. Practical recommendations for improving the technological process of thermal treatment of Belleville springs have been proposed. The tasks of further research and implementation of the obtained results have been determined. Search work has been carried out to improve the technology of hardening processing of parts of the shut-off unit (gate and seat) of direct-flow valves. The possibility of using accelerated nitrocarburizing in a triethanolamine medium with induction heating by high-frequency currents at a temperature range of 950°С for boriding and borochroming has been established. Samples were made from standard steel grades 40, 40Kh and 38Kh2MYuA, subjected to hardening by the considered methods, and a study was made of the hardness, depth and microstructure of the hardened layer. Research in this direction should be continued in order to study the tribological characteristics (friction coefficient and wear resistance) of hardened parts. Each operation of the spring manufacturing technology has been studied, and deviations that have a significant impact on the operation of the spring and the sealing of the shut-off valve assembly have been identified.

Purpose The present study aims to evaluate the effect of montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT) and waste glass powder (WGP) on the hardness and thermal conductivity of PMMA polymer composites. Thus, this study concentrates on the potential use of MMT and WGP as reinforcements, in different concentrations, in PMMA polymer matrix, with the expectation of improving the performance of PMMA polymer composites in various applications. Design/methodology/approach There is a growing demand for PMMA with increased mechanical properties and thermal stability for applications where inorganic glass would fail. Montmorillonite (MMT) clay and Waste Glass Powder (WGP) have physical and chemical properties compatible with PMMA. Therefore, they could potentially enhance PMMA’s hardness and thermal conductivity. Silicon dioxide in glass silica and MMT and octahedral aluminium hydroxide sheet in MMT can strengthen both covalent and hydrogen bonding architecture in PMMA composite for better mechanical strength and thermal conductivity. Thus, PMMA composites were designed by combining MMT powder and WGP powder in different ratios before being incorporated into the PMMA polymer matrix and tested for hardness and thermal conductivity. Findings The present study measured Brinell Hardness (HB) and electrical conductivity values of four PMMA composites containing different proportions of MMT and WGP. MMT/WGP filler mix had optimal hardiness (HB number = 74) when glass content was 1% (3MMT1G) or better still (HB number = 63) when an equal mix ratio was used (1MMT1G). PMMA composite with 3MMT1G also had the highest thermal conductivity (0.01899W/m.K-1). However, the higher the glass content, the lower the thermal conductivity of the PMMA composite. Thus, the present study has demonstrated that 3MMT1G filler was the best for enhancing the thermal and mechanical properties of PMMA composite. Research limitations/implications The results of this study demonstrate the potential of this new composite material for a variety of applications. Further research is needed to explore the full potential of this material and to develop new and improved versions. Practical implications Reusing waste glass as filler materials in composites requires minimal processing and therefore has lower environmental impacts than synthetic options. Originality/value Experimental data from the present study has provided new insights into Glass/MMT mix design in PMMA composites. The PMMA composite containing 3MMT1G exhibited the best hardness and thermal conductivity characteristics. Thus, the present study has successfully optimised Glass/MMT mix design for PMMA composite for applications requiring these features.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki badań twardości, odporności na pękanie oraz odporności na zużycie ścierne stopu Ti24Nb4Zr8Sn po obróbce cieplnej, tj. przesycaniu z temp. 850°C i starzeniu w 350, 450 i 600°C. Wykazano, że w stanie przesyconym, gdy w mikrostrukturze jest obecna jedynie faza β, stop charakteryzuje się najmniejszą twardością i największą odpornością na pękanie. Zastosowanie zabiegu starzenia, skutkujące wydzielaniem fazy α z przesyconej fazy β, silnie zmniejsza jego odporność na pękanie. Badany stop wykazuje istotnie różną odporność na zużycie ścierne i różny współczynnik tarcia, zależnie od mikrostruktury i twardości. Minimalną wartość współczynnika tarcia odnotowano po starzeniu w temp. 450°C, w której dochodzi do wydzielania w mikrostrukturze fazy α o dużej dyspersji, tj. przy maksymalnej twardości stopu.

The article presents the results of hardness, fracture toughness and abrasive wear resistance tests of the Ti24Nb4Zr8Sn alloy. These results were obtained after its heat treatment, i.e. solution from 850°C and aging at 350, 450 and 600°C. It has been shown that in the supersaturated state, when only the β phase is present in the microstructure, the alloy is characterized by the lowest hardness and the highest fracture toughness. The application of the aging treatment, resulting in the separation of the α phase from the supersaturated β phase, strongly reduces its fracture toughness. The tested alloy shows significantly different resistance to abrasive wear and a different friction coefficient, depending on the microstructure and hardness. The minimum value of the friction coefficient was noted after aging at 450°C, at which the α phase with high dispersion was precipitated in the microstructure, i.e. at the maximum hardness of the alloy.

Na przykładzie kilku rur okrągłych wyznaczono relacje między granicą plastyczności i wytrzymałością doraźną na rozciąganie stali, z której zostały wykonane rury, a jej twardością Brinella, pomierzoną bezpośrednio na rurowych elementach konstrukcyjnych (in situ). Znajomość tych relacji jest niezbędna w pośrednich badaniach wytrzymałości stali, poprzez nieniszczące pomiary twardości, w przypadku konstrukcji wykonanych z rur okrągłych. Relacje te zdecydowanie różnią się od odpowiednich relacji znanych z badań stali niestopowych w stanie surowym lub normalizowanym, w wyrobach płaskich po walcowaniu na gorąco. Pracę zakończono wnioskami i zaleceniami o charakterze praktycznym.

On the example of several pipes, the dependences between the yield strength and ultimate strength of the steel which the pipes were made from and its Brinell hardness measured directly on the tubular structural elements (in situ) was determined. Knowledge of these dependences is essential in indirect steel strength tests, through non-destructive hardness measurements, in the case of structures made of circular hollow sections. These relations differ significantly from the corresponding relations known from the tests of unalloyed steels in the raw or normalized state in hot-rolled flat elements. The work was completed with conclusions and recommendations of a practical nature.

The present study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of novel hybrid Al matrix composites with a combination of two ceramic reinforcements, i.e. Al2O3, SiC and one solid lubricant, i.e. WS2. This hybrid composite was fabricated by means of the powder metallurgy process. The impact of the hybrid combination of reinforcements in different wt.% on the properties of the hybrid composites was studied. The density of the composites increases from 2.689 to 2.796 g/cm3 with an increase in wt.% of WS2. Uniform distribution of the reinforcing particles in the matrix phase was determined by SEM. The results of, for instance, density measurements and microstructural analysis indicate significant improvement in the physical and mechanical properties with the increase in the wt.% of WS2. The microhardness of the as-fabricated composites rises from 98 HV to 119.7 HV with the increase in the wt.% of WS2 from 0 to 6 wt.%. The novel combination of Al with SiC, Al2O3 and WS2 can be used to create a suitable and sustainable hybrid metal matrix composite for the automotive industry as a replacement for single ceramic and single solid lubricant composites.

This paper presents the results of studies on the consolidation of metallic and composite powders by the hot isostaticpressing (HIP) process intended for electrical contact materials. Ag, Cu metallic powders, as well as AgW48Re2, AgRe1 and CuW47Re3 composite powders were used in the investigations. Green compacts for consolidation and hot sintering under pressure were prepared by double-sided axial pressing in steel dies. The density, electrical conductivity, and hardness were measured on the obtained sinters after the HIP process, and the microstructure was examined on selected ones. The research indicates that applying this technology allows good quality electrical material to be obtained, intended for electrical contact material.

W pracy zaprezentowano wyniki badań napoin wytworzonych technologią napawania laserowego LMd (Laser Metal Deposition) z zastosowaniem różnych parametrów wiązki laserowej. na powierzchni podłoży ze stali 1.4923 w kształcie prostopadłościanów wytworzono napoiny wielościegowe z proszków hs6-5-2c o różnym stopniu przykrycia. W ramach prób napawania laserowego wytworzono próbki, na których następnie przeprowadzono badania topografii powierzchni, obserwacje mikrostruktury oraz pomiary twardości w poszczególnych strefach warstwy wierzchniej podłoża, to jest w strefie napoiny, strefie wpływu ciepła (sWc) oraz w strefie materiału rodzimego. obserwacjęi analizę powierzchni napoin oraz mikrostruktury w przekroju poprzecznym próbek po napawaniu LMd zrealizowano z zastosowaniem mikroskopii optycznej ze światłowodową transmisją obrazu. pomiary twardości wykonano, używając twardościomierza Vickersa FLc-50a. na podstawie obserwacji mikroskopowych stwierdzono, że uzyskane napoiny mają regularny i powtarzalny kształt. Ponadto na powierzchniach wytworzonych napoin oraz w strefie wtopienia materiału napoiny z materiałem podłoża nie zauważono występowania wad procesowych. Twardość uzyskanych napoin wynosiła 500-700 hV0,1. Wytworzone na bazie proszku hs6-5-2c napoiny poddano badaniom odporności na erozję, które wykazały znacznie wyższą odporność na zużycie erozyjne (nawet ok. pięciokrotnie) w porównaniu z materiałem podłoża (stal 1.4923) bez napawania.

This paper presents the results of testing surfacings produced by LMd (Laser Metal deposition) laser deposition technology for different laser beam parameters. on the surface layer of rectangular-shaped samples, made of 1.4923 steel, multiwall surfacing was produced from hs6-5-2c powder with different degrees of coverage. as a part of the laser deposition verification and testing, surface topography, microstructure and hardness tests were carried out in the deposition zone, heat affected zone, and the zone of the parent material. The surface of the surfacing and the microstructure in cross-section were observed on an optical microscope with fibre-optic image transmission. Hardness measurements were made in the cross-section of the sample using a Vickers FLc-50a hardness tester. Based on the observations, it was found that the obtained surfacings have a regular and repeatable shape. There were no welding defects on the surfaces of the produced surfacings and in the zone of fusion of the surfacing material with the substrate material. The hardness of the surfacings was obtained in the range of 500-700 hV0.1. The surfacings produced by LMd technology were subjected to erosion resistance tests, which showed significantly higher (about 5 times higher) resistance to erosion wear of the produced surface layers (surfacings based on hs6-5-2c powder) in comparison with the substrate material, i.e., steel 1.4923.

Purpose: Measurement of the adhesion of a Ti coating applied by cold spraying on metal substrates with different elastic modulus. An attempt to analytically describe the experimental results, considering cold gas spray parameters such as working gas, pressure p and temperature T. Design/methodology/approach: Ti coating was sprayed on flat bars made of metal: copper, magnesium, brass, titanium, Al 7075, Al 2024 and steel with dimensions of 4x50x400 mm. All coatings were applied under the same spray conditions (p = 3.8 MPa, T = 800ºC, spray distance l = 50 mm, and spray spead V = 400 mm/s). The state of plastic deformation of coatings and substrates was examined using optical methods, and the adhesion strength was measured with the POSITEST tester. Findings: The experimental results are presented graphically. The adhesion force as a function of the relative modulus of elasticity showed a maximum. At this time, the mutual penetration depth of the coating and the substrate showed a minimum. The extremes of the relationships mentioned above occurred for points where the relative modulus of elasticity took the value one. The curve described by formula (1) was fitted to the distribution of adhesion points as a function of the relative elastic modulus. The function parameter described by formula (1) is related to the spray parameters (p, T). Research limitations/implications: To achieve a better accuracy of the analytical description of the adhesion of coatings deposited with cold gas, tests should be carried out on a larger number of substrates. The validity of the presented interpretation should be checked by applying coatings from other materials. Practical implications: In coating technologies, adhesion is a key concept. A coating with high adhesion strength is used primarily in regeneration and anti-corrosion protection processes. The analytical relationship between adhesion, relative modulus of elasticity and cold gas spray parameters will significantly speed up the selection of optimal spray parameters. Cold spray technology is a cost-intensive technology, so the economic element is not without significance. Originality/value: The article presents a method for limiting the number of variables on which the quality of the applied coatings depends. The relationship between the adhesion force, the relative elastic modulus and the selected spray parameters are indicated.

The article presents the results of metallographic and tribological tests on GX120MnCr13 cast steel that was previously subjected to heat treatment (including solution treatment from 1100°C and isothermal holding at 250, 400, and 600°C for 100 hours). The temperatures of the isothermal holding process were selected in order to reflect the possible working conditions of the cast elements that can be made of this cast steel. Wear tests were carried out under dry friction conditions using the ball-on-disc method using a ZrO2 ball as a counter-sample. The tests were carried out with a load of 5 N. The influence of the long-term isothermal holding process on the microstructure of the tested cast steel was analysed by light and scanning microscopy; however, abrasion marks were also examined using a confocal microscope. Based on the tests conducted, it was found that in the microstructures of the sample after solution treatment and samples that were held in isothermal C, the grain boundary areas were enriched in Mn and Cr compared to the areas inside the grains. Pearlite appeared condition at 250 and 400 in the sample that was heated (or held in isothermal holding) at 600°C; its share reached 41.6%. The presence of pearlite in the austenitic matrix increased the hardness to 351.4 HV10. The hardness of the remaining tested samples was within a range of 221.8-229.1 HV10. Increasing the hardness of the tested cast steel directly resulted in a reduction in the degree of wear as well as the volume, area, and width of the abrasion marks. A microscopic analysis of the wear marks showed that the dominant process of the abrasive wear of the tested friction pair was the detachment and displacement of the tested material through the indentation as a result of the cyclical impact of the counter sample.

Cooling slope casting is a simple technique to produce semi-solid feedstock with a non-dendritic structure. The cooling slope technique depends on various parameters like slope length, slope angle, pouring temperature etc, that has been investigated in the present study. This work presents an extensive study to comprehend the combined effect of slope angle, slope length, pouring temperature, on hardness and microstructure of A383 alloy. Response Surface Methodology was adopted for design of experiments with varying process parameters i.e. slope angle between 15o to 60o, slope length between 400 to 700 mm, and pouring temperature between 560 oC to 600 oC. The response factor hardness was analysed using ANOVA to understand the effect of input parameters and their interactions. The hardness was found to be increasing with increased slope length and pouring temperature; and decreased with slope angle. The empirical relation for response with parameters were established using the regression analysis and are incorporated in an optimization model. The optimum hardness with non-dendritic structure of A383 alloy was obtained at 27o slope angle, 596.5 mm slope length and 596 oC pouring temperature. The results were successfully verified by confirmation experiment, which shows around 2% deviation from the predicted hardness (87.11 BHN).

Cast martensitic alloy steel is used for the production of parts and components of machines operating under conditions of abrasive wear. One of the most popular grades is cast steel GX70CrMnSiNiMo2 steel, which is used in many industries, but primarily in the mining and material processing sectors for rings and balls operating in the grinding sets of coal mills. To improve the abrasion resistance of cast alloy tool steel, primary titanium carbides were produced in the metallurgical process by increasing the carbon content to 1.78 wt.% and adding 5.00 wt.% of titanium to test castings. After alloy solidification, the result was the formation of a microstructure consisting of a martensitic matrix with areas of residual austenite and primary titanium carbides evenly distributed in this matrix. The measured as-cast hardness of the samples was 660HV and it increased to as much as 800HV after heat treatment. The abrasion resistance of the sample hardened in a 15% polymer solution increased at least three times compared to the reference sample after quenching and tempering.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the roll bonding (RB) process on the mechanical properties of Al/Cu bimetallic strip specimens. A specially designed test instrument for the cyclic bending test of strip specimens produced by RB has been proposed. The test consists in repeated pulling of a strip of sheet metal through a system of cylindrical countersamples. Samples cut along and across the sheet rolling direction were tested. The specimens were subjected to preliminary microstructural tests using an optical microscope with Nomarski contrast and scanning electron microscopy. The tests showed a slight influence of the orientation of the samples on the change of the mechanical properties of the bimetallic sheets in the cyclic bending process. In the case of samples oriented along the sheet rolling direction, discontinuities in the transition layer were found. The samples oriented perpendicularly to the rolling direction were free of this defect.

Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu procesu walcowania na właściwości mechaniczne próbek w postaci pasów blachy bimetalowej Al/Cu. Zaproponowano specjalnie zaprojektowany przyrząd do cyklicznego gięcia próbek wytwarzanych metodą walcowania. Test polega na wielokrotnym przeciąganiu paska blachy przez układ cylindrycznych przeciwpróbek. Badaniom poddano próbki cięte wzdłuż i w poprzek kierunku walcowania blachy. Próbki poddano wstępnym badaniom mikrostrukturalnym przy użyciu mikroskopu optycznego z kontrastem Nomarskiego oraz skaningowego mikroskopu elektronowego. Badania wykazały niewielki wpływ orientacji próbek na zmianę właściwości mechanicznych blach bimetalicznych w procesie cyklicznego zginania. W przypadku próbek zorientowanych wzdłuż kierunku walcowania blachy stwierdzono nieciągłości w warstwie przejściowej. Próbki zorientowane prostopadle do kierunku walcowania były wolne od tej wady.

The article evaluates the properties of oxide films: Al2O3 and TiO2, deposited using the ALD method on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. It presents the results of examining the geometrical structure of the surface, nanohardness and tribological tests. The surface’s geometrical structure was tested through optical microscopy, and nanohardness was determined using the instrumental indentation method with a Berkovich indenter. The modelling tribological tests were performed in a reciprocating motion under the conditions of technically dry friction and with lubrication using Ringer's solution. An analysis of the results of tribological tests indicates that the films were characterised by lower motion resistances and wear with respect to the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. Hardness measurements indicate that, as a result of deposition of the films, the hardness increased by approximately 51% in the case of the Al2O3 film and by approximately 44% in the case of the TiO2 coating. The produced test results constitute a source of knowledge about the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy, oxide films and the possibilities of their potential application to low-load biotribological systems.

W artykule dokonano oceny właściwości warstw tlenkowych: Al2O3 i TiO2 osadzonych metodą ALD na stopie Ti13Nb13Zr. Przedstawiono wyniki badań struktury geometrycznej powierzchni, nanotwardości oraz testów tribologicznych. Strukturę geometryczną powierzchni zbadano przy użyciu mikroskopii optycznej, a nanotwardość określono metodą instrumentalnej indentacji przy użyciu wgłębnika Berkovich’a. Modelowe badania tribologiczne przeprowadzono w ruchu posuwisto-zwrotnym w warunkach tarcia technicznie suchego oraz ze smarowaniem płynem Ringera. Analiza wyników badań tribologicznych wskazała, że powłoki charakteryzowały się mniejszymi oporami ruchu oraz zużyciem w odniesieniu do stopu Ti13Nb13Zr. Pomiary twardości wskazują, że w wyniku osadzenia powłok twardość wzrosła o około 51% w przypadku powłoki Al2O3 oraz o około 44% w przypadku powłoki TiO2. Uzyskane wyniki badań stanowią źródło wiedzy na temat stopu Ti13Nb13Zr, powłok tlenkowych oraz możliwości ich potencjalnego zastosowania w niskoobciążonych systemach biotribologicznych.

This paper presents the results of tribological tests on high manganese GX120Mn13 cast steel under technically dry friction conditions. The tests were carried out using a TRB3 ball-on-disc tribometer using a 6mm-diameter SiC ball as a counter-sample for a specimen made of GX120Mn13 cast steel containing a localised prehardening area on the test surface with a hardness of approximately 597 HV10 (the non-hardened area had a hardness of approximately 325–364 HV10). During the test, the ball travelled in a 16.68 mm diameter circle and passed through both hardening and non-hardened areas. The resulting erosion marks were assessed using an optical profilometer and scanning microscope tests, which showed that the maximum depth of erosion in the previously hardening area was 0.77 µm and was more than twice as deep as in the non-hardened areas surveyed. In contrast, the area of attrition was twice as small as in the non-hardened area located in the axis of the previously applied load and more than three times smaller, but in the area located on the side of the axis and 8.34 mm away from it. Thus, from the point of view of the abrasion resistance of GX120Mn13 cast steel, the validity of its prior hardening before the operation was confirmed.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań tribologicznych wysokomanganowego staliwa GX120Mn13 w warunkach tarcia technicznie suchego. Badania przeprowadzono przy użyciu tribometru TRB3 typu ball–on– disc stosując jako przeciwpróbkę kulkę z SiC o średnicy 6mm dla próbki wykonanej ze staliwa GX120Mn13 zawierającej na powierzchni badanej lokalny obszar wcześniej umocniony o twardości ok. 597 HV10 (obszar nieumocniony posiadał twardość ok 325–364 HV10). Kulka w czasie testu poruszała się po okręgu o średnicy 16.68 mm i przechodziła zarówno przez obszar umocniony, jak i nieumocniony. Otrzymane ślady wytarcia oceniano za pomocą badań wykonanych na profilometrze optycznym i mikroskopie skaningowym. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że w obszarze wcześniej umocnionym maksymalna głębokość wytarcia wynosiła 0.77 µm i była ponad dwukrotnie mniejsza niż w badanych obszarach nieumocnionych. Z kolei pole wytarcia było dwukrotnie mniejsze niż w obszarze nieumocnionym, znajdującym się w osi przyłożonego wcześniej obciążenia i ponad trzykrotnie mniejsze w porównaniu z obszarem znajdującym się z boku osi i oddalonym od niej o 8.34 mm. Tym samym, z punktu widzenia odporności na zużycie ścierne staliwa GX120Mn13, potwierdzono słuszność jego wcześniejszego umocnienia przed eksploatacją.
