Środowiskowa Ocena Cyklu Życia - LCA (Life Cycle Assesement) opisana w normach ISO serii 14000 stanowi jedną z najważniejszych i najbardziej wiarygodnych technik oceny oddziaływania na środowisko technologii i produktów. Obecnie ma ugruntowaną pozycję jako narządzie badawcze w obszarach nauki i praktyki, związanych ze środowiskiem. Wpływ nowych lub istniejących technologii oraz produktów na środowisko jest jednym z kluczowych problemów w państwach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, w których dążymy do maksymalizacji odzysku materiałowego oraz powtórnego wykorzystania odpadów. Technologicznie i ekonomicznie uzasadnione jest prowadzenie recyklingu odpadów albo wykorzystanie ich jako surowców wtórnych, a także unieszkodliwianie odpadów w miejscu powstawania. Jednym z innowacyjnych rozwiązań jest modyfikacja chemiczna odpadów polimerowych w kierunku uzyskania flokulantów zastosowanych w procesach oczyszczania ścieków przemysłowych. Obecnie prowadzona jest ocena oddziaływania procesów technologicznych i by-produktów na środowisko w ich cyklu życia. Analizy LCA potwierdzają efektywne zastosowanie nowych polimerów, a w perspektywie ich bezpieczną dla środowiska produkcję. Przedstawione przykłady pozwalają na prześledzenie procedury oceny wpływu cyklu życia technologii produkcji i produktów na środowisko.

Environmental Life Cycle Assessment - LCA described in the ISO 14000 series standards is one of the most important and reliable techniques for assessing the environmental impact of technologies and products. Currently, it has an established position as a research tool in areas of science and practice related to the environment. The impact of new or existing technologies and products on the environment is one of the key problems in the Member States of the European Union, where we strive to maximize material recovery and reuse of waste. It is technologically and economically justified to recycle waste or use it as secondary raw materials, as well as neutralize its waste at the point of generation. One of the innovative solutions is the chemical modification of polymer waste to obtain flocculants used in industrial wastewater treatment processes. Currently, an assessment of the impact of technological processes and by-products on the environment in their life cycle is being carried out. LCA analysis confirms the effective use of new polymers and, in the long run, their environmentally safe production. The examples presented make it possible to follow the procedure for assessing the impact of the life cycle of production technologies and products on the environment.

The purpose of the article is to present the results of comparative quantitative analysis of selected materials (steel, magnesium and aluminium alloys) and manufacturing technologies, to indicate their development outlooks and to present its application opportunities particularly in the automotive industry. Moreover in this article describes the application of the computer-integrated prediction of development for objectivised selection of a material and surface treatment technology, so that product properties can be achieved as are expected by a client. In a broad array of applications of the computer-integrated prediction of development in the field of material engineering, including materials surface engineering, experiment planning can be distinguished, usually including the selection of: a research material, surface treatment technology, construction solution and/or methods to review the final outcome achieved against the anticipated outcome. A material for the planned materials science experiments and its surface treatment technology, the application of which contributes most to meeting the high requirements set by a prospect product used, was selected in this work using a dendrological matrix of technology value. The dendrological matrix falls into to a group of contextual matrices allowing presenting graphically a quantitative assessment of the factor, phenomenon or process investigated while taking into account two analysis factors placed on the X and Y axis of the matrix. An evaluation classifying the three groups of materials analysed, i.e. casting magnesium alloys, casting aluminium alloys, constructional steels and their surface treatment technologies, to the individual quarters of the matrix was made based on the results of own materials science and heuristic experiments supported with a review of the literature. Considering the three groups of materials subjected to an expert assessment using a dendrological matrix being inherent part of materials surface engineering development prediction methods. Aluminium cast alloys has achieved here the best position. It was further demonstrated that laser treatment is a technology with the highest potential and attractiveness in the context of applying aluminium casting alloys for surface treatment. The metallographic examinations carried out give grounds to state that the ceramic powder alloying or feeding process will be carried out successfully in case of the aluminium alloy substrate, the powder particles will be distributed uniformly in the investigated surface layer, and that the particular layers is without cracks and failures and tightly adhere to the cast aluminium material matrix. With regard to the above, dynamic development achieved by exploitation of numerous application and development opportunities, especially strong prospects in the automotive industry, aviation industry, military sector, sport sector and in civil engineering is a recommended by appliance of long-term action strategy.

Głównym założeniem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników opracowanej ilościowej analizy porównawczej wybranych grup materiałów inżynierskich (stali, stopów magnezu i aluminium) oraz technologii ich obróbki, w celu określenia perspektyw rozwoju oraz możliwości zastosowania badanych materiałów w szczególności w przemyśle motoryzacyjnym. Ponadto w artykule opisano zastosowanie analizy komputerowej pozwalającej na prognozowanie dalszego rozwoju opisywanych grup materiałów oraz technologii ich obróbki powierzchniowej, pozwalającej na uzyskanie oczekiwanych przez klienta własności produktu. W szerokim wachlarzu zastosowań komputerowo-zintegrowanej predykcji rozwoju w dziedzinie inżynierii materiałowej, w tym inżynierii powierzchni, wyróżnić można poszczególne stadia planowania eksperymentu, obejmujące zazwyczaj dobór m.in.: materiału do badań, technologii obróbki powierzchniowej materiałów, zastosowanych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych i/lub metody oceny wyników końcowych oraz ich porównanie z wynikami podlegającymi predykcji. Materiały do badań oraz technologie ich obróbki powierzchniowej, których zastosowanie w szerokim zakresie zaspokaja wysokie wymagania klientów odnosnie aplikacji, zostały wyselekcjonowane przy użyciu matrycy dendrologicznej uwzględniającej założone parametry technologiczne. Matryca dendrologiczna zaliczana jest do grupy macierzy kontekstowych pozwalających na graficzna prezentacje oceny ilościowej danego współczynnika, zjawiska lub badanego procesu, biorąc pod uwagę dwa czynniki analizy umieszczone na osiach X i Y matrycy. Klasyfikacja trzech grup analizowanych materiałów, w tym odlewniczych stopów magnezu, stopów aluminium i stalikonstrukcyjnych oraz technologii ich obróbki powierzchniowej, do poszczególnych ćwiartek matrycy dendrologicznej dokonano na podstawie wyników badań własnych materiałów oraz eksperymentów heurystycznych wspieranych studium literaturowym. Na podstawie wykonanej analizy ilościowej, prezentowanej w artykule najwyżej ocenione zostały odlewnicze stopy aluminium. Stwierdzono także, że obróbka laserowa jest technologią o najwyższym potencjale i atrakcyjności w kontekscie obróbki powierzchniowej odlewniczych stopów aluminium. Przeprowadzone badania metalograficzne dają podstawę do stwierdzenia, że stopowanie lub wtapianie laserowe z zastosowaniem proszków ceramicznych będzie realizowane z powodzeniem w przypadku podłoża aluminiowego, cząstki proszku będą rozprowadzane równomiernie w badanej warstwie powierzchniowej, poszczególne warstwy będą pozbawione wad i pęknięć oraz będą ściśle przylegały do osnowy aluminiowej. Mając na uwadze powyższe przesłanki należy pamiętać, że dynamiczny rozwój w zakresie aplikacji oferowanych w szczególności przez branżę motoryzacyjną, przemysł lotniczy, sektor wojskowy, sportowy oraz sektor z zakresu inżynierii lądowej bardzo często wymaga stosowania strategii związanej z działaniem długoterminowym.

Purpose: The purpose of the research was the verification of usefulness of selected non-destructive testing methods as tool of assessement of permanent joints of elements with variable thickness and geometry. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted with the use of samples prepared from the components used for strengthening the car seats. The elements were made from low-density polyethylene, applying the injection technology, and then butt welded. The quality assessment was conducted with the use of selected non-destructive methods - visual, thermal imaging, shearography inspection and 3D scanning. In order to verify the quality of the welds, tensile strength tests were conducted. Findings: The research conducted will indicate, within the researched scope, the method, which allows the identification of flaws of permanent joints. Research limitations/implications: Within the frame of the work we limited ourselves to the analysis of geometry of weld performed with the application of the method of butt welding. The exact assessment of quality of the joints performed requires additional tests which take into account the properly welded comparative samples and other non-destructive methods. Practical implications: The application of non-destructive methods of quality assessment, particularly spatial scanning, allows the assessment of quality and exact dimensioning of flash both from outside (visible) and outside of the element. Originality/value: The work presents the innovative application of spatial scanning 3D for the assessment of flash geometry achieved as the result of butt welding.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present the summary results of studies on polyamide composites filled with hard coal. Research on the use of coal as a filler of polymers are conducted for many years in Division of Metallic and Polymeric Materials Processing, Silesian University of Technology. This paper summarizes results obtained in different research programmes preformed in recent years. Described materials are polyamide 6 composites filled with modified and unmodified hard coal powder. Design/methodology/approach: All the resulting compositions intended for research have been produced using twin screw extruder. The resulting mixtures of various compositions were then subjected to a process of granulation. The prepared composites have undergone a process of injection moulding which allowed to obtain samples for strength tests. Full statement of research results obtained for composites could help to predict the material with the best mechanical properties and hence the best material for construction. Findings: It has appeared from studies that in both a composite made of unmodified coal and of coal modified with coupling agents show a decrease in mechanical properties in comparison with the neat polymer. Apart from this these composites are interesting materials because of low prize of the filler. Research limitations/implications: It can be concluded from research that all types of obtained composites are characterized by a decrease in mechanical properties. Practical implications: Applications of hard coal as a filler of polymer composites is way to produce new materials. It is worth noting that the main features of the filler used is its prevalence, low cost and electrical conductance. Originality/value: The results describe new fillers of thermoplastic polymers and the possibility of its modification.

Purpose: This article presents the influence of the type of coal surface modifier on mechanical properties of polyamide 6 filled with hard pulverized coal. Design/methodology/approach: Before preparing compositions, pulverised filler surface was modified with coupling agents. The composite of polyamide 6 and modified hard coal was compounded using a twin-screw extruder. A blend was granulated and later test samples were performed on injection moulding machine. Afterwards, mechanical properties were evaluated. These properties have essential meaning for applications of new composites as structural materials. Findings: Tests demonstrated that modification of powdered hard coal surface with coupling agents didn’t have significant effect on mechanical properties of polyamide/hard coal composites. Research limitations/implications: Applied compounding procedure did not allow to achieve good compositions homogenisation. A new method is planned to be applied in future research. Simultaneously, it is necessary to investigate composites with other coupling agents which will improve filler’s adhesion to a polymer. Long-term test are also planned. Practical implications: Hard coal, cheap and widely available filler, used to modify thermoplastic polymers, enable to obtain new materials with attractive properties and many applications. Originality/value: Paper represents innovative polymer filler and methods to modify it.

A theoretical background of new method for thermal diffusivity measurements is presented in the work. It employs thermograms form a IR camera and consist in a determination of thermal diffusivity directly from the classical heat equation in the sourceless case. It utilises an assumption that temperature may be described as the Fourier series in a body during cooling in the homogeneous boundary conditions described by the Newton law and only the first summand in the series is meaningful for sufficiently big Fourier number (Fo>0.3). Thanks to it temperature measurements on the plane surface of investigated body made by a IR camera are sufficient for the method because the second partial derivative of temperature function in the direction perpendicular to the surface of body may be expressed as a linear function of temperature. In such situation all temperature quantities in the heat equation of the points on the external surface of the body may be calculated (with use of proper formulas on the finite differences) at basing on the data recorded by a IR camera during the cooling process. Finally the thermal diffusivity and factors form the introduced linear dependence between temperature and the second partial derivative of temperature in the perpendicular direction to the surface of body may be determined form system of equations obtained from the modified heat equation given at three different points on the surface.

W artykule przedstawiono nowy aparat czterokulowy, opracowany w ramach zadania realizowanego w Programie Wieloletnim PW-004 pn. "Doskonalenie systemów rozwoju innowacyjności w produkcji i eksploatacji w latach 2004-2008", którego Instytut Technologii Eksploatacji - PIB w Radomiu jest głównym realizatorem. Podstawową różnicą między nowym aparatem czterokulowym a tego typu urządzeniami dotychczas wytwarzanymi w ITeE - PIB jest znaczące rozszerzenie jego możliwości badawczych. Dotychczas wytwarzany aparat czterokulowy, oznaczony symbolem T-02, pozwalał na badania właściwości przeciwzużyciowych i przeciwzatarciowych środków smarowych. Inny aparat czterokulowy, oznaczony symbolem T-03, umożliwiał badanie jedynie powierzchniowej trwałości zmęczeniowej. Do tego oba aparaty nie pozwalały na badania w podwyższonej i kontrolowanej temperaturze. Nowy aparat, oznaczony symbolem T-02U, pozwala na realizację wszystkich wymienionych badań, zarówno dla środków smarowych, jak i materiałów konstrukcyjnych. Zaprezentowano genezę tematu, budowę i charakterystykę techniczną nowego aparatu, realizowane metody badawcze, przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań weryfikacyjnych, potencjalne obszary zastosowania oraz pierwsze wdrożenia.

The authors present a new four-ball machine developed within the scope of the Multi-Year Programme PW-004 "Development of innovative systems of manufacturing and maintenance 2004-2008", coordinated by the Institute for Sustainable Technologies - National Research Institute in Radom. The main difference between the new device and the ones having been manufactured by ITeE - PIB so far is related to a significant improvement of the research capabilities. The previously manufactured four-ball machine, known as T-02 tribotester, was intended for testing antiwear (AW) and extreme-pressure (EP) properties of lubricants. Another four-ball tribotester, denoted as T-03, was intended only for determination of the surface fatigue life. Neither T-02, nor T-03 machine made it possible to perform runs at an increased and controlled lubricant temperature. The new machine, denoted as T-02U, enables the user to perform all the mentioned tests, both for lubricants and engineering materials. A genesis of the idea of the new four-ball machine, its main units, technical specifications, realized test methods, chosen results of verification testing, potential areas of application, as well as first implementations in industrial and scientific laboratories, are presented.

Purpose: During machining operation, friction between workpiece-cutting tool and cutting tool-chip interfaces result high temperature on cutting tool. The effect of this generated heat affects shorter tool life, higher surface roughness and lowers the dimensional sensitiveness of work material. This result is more important when machining of difficult-to-cut materials, due to occurrence of higher heat. Design/methodology/approach: Different methods have been reported to protect cutting tool from the generated heat during machining operations. The selection of coated cutting tools are an expensive alternative and generally it is a suitable approach for machining some materials such as titanium alloys, heat resistance alloys etc. Another alternative is to apply cutting fluids in machining operation. They are used to provide lubrication and cooling effects between cutting tool and workpiece and cutting tool and chip during machining operation. Hence the influence of generated heat on cutting tool would be prevented. Findings: As a result, important benefits would be achieved such longer tool life, easy chip flow and higher machining quality in the machining processes. The selection of cutting fluids should be carefully carried out to obtain optimum result in machining processes. Various factors are affecting the selection of cutting fluid type in machining operation such as type of workpiece materials, cutting tool material and the method of machining processes. Research limitations/implications: In this study, the selection of cutting fluids for machining processes was examined. The effects of workpiece material, cutting tool and machining process type were determined in detail. Originality/value: In this study, the studies about cutting fluid application in machining processes have been evaluated. The selection criteria of cutting fluids have been examined. Suitable cutting fluids for various material machining processes have been determined according to cutting tool materials.
