Purpose: Pulsed low-pressure carburizing (LPC) and omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) are innovative methods for quenching the surface layer. The thermo-chemical treatment carried out by this method reduces quenching geometric deformations, with detailed numerical values not available in the literature due to the short existence of this method. Design/methodology/approach: Sixteen toothed elements of EN 20MnCr5 steel were subjected to pulsed low-pressure carburising with omnidirectional jet quenching in 4 groups, varying the process temperature (920°C, 960°C) and in two groups performing a tempering treatment. The elements were tested before machining by measuring their internal hole diameters, radial runout, roundness and cylindricity. These values were tested again after treatment. The direction of change and the statistical significance of the effect of treatment and its parameters, temperature and tempering were analysed. Findings: Thermo-chemical treatment significantly affects geometric changes in diameters, roundness, cylindricity and radial runout compared to elements without heat treatment due to physical transformations occurring during this treatment (p<0.05). Changing the process temperature in the value range of 920°C-960°C affects the hole diameter (makes it smaller) (p<0.05), but does not affect radial runout, cylindricity and roundness. The observed dimensional changes in diameters have numerically small values (<0.005 mm). The tempering treatment can affect the values of average diameters. Its effect on roundness, cylindricity and radial runout was not observed. Research limitations/implications: In the temperature range studied, the method of pulsed low-pressure carburising + omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching makes it possible to raise the temperature of the process and shorten its duration without significant geometric changes in the treated elements. Practical implications: The method of pulsed low-pressure carburising and omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) ensures the maintenance of reproducible quenching deformations at a level significantly lower than conventional processing methods. Originality/value: The method of pulsed low-pressure carburising together with omnidirectional high-pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) is a method that has been used briefly in the industry, and there are few reports on it to date.

This article presents the results of a study of the performance characteristics of ceramic grinding wheels during peripheral grinding of flat surfaces carried out using different methods of supplying cooling and lubricating fluid (coolant). In the study, T1 type grinding wheels were used, differing in the type of abrasive used in their construction. The abrasive consisted of mixtures with different volume percentages of: 1) grains of conventional white electro-corundum, 2) grains of submicrocrystalline sintered corundum produced by sol-gel technology, 3) microcrystalline sintered ceramic grains with RECERAMAX™ RT microclasters from RECKEL. Specimens made of 145Cr6 tool steel (60±1 HRC) were ground using coolant feeding by flood method and MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) method. During the study, the components of grinding force (Fn, Ft), radial loss of the grinding wheel and roughness of the ground surface were measured, which made it possible to determine the volumetric wear of the grinding wheel Vs, the total grinding power P, and then calculate the grinding indicators G and Ks. The obtained values of the G index indicate that, regardless of the type of grinding wheel used, a higher relative grinding efficiency was obtained during grinding with the delivery of coolant by the MQL method. The highest values of this index were obtained in the case of the grinding process carried out with a grinding wheel containing RECERAMAX™ RT abrasive. The Ks index confirmed the best performance of the mentioned grinding wheel. Since its value also depends on the total grinding power P and the surface roughness parameter Ra, the grinding process carried out with this grinding wheel is additionally characterized by a better quality of the obtained surface and lower energy consumption.
