Armoring civilian vehicles requires specialized knowledge and experience that many armoring companies lack as they are not direct or indirect suppliers of vehicle manufacturers. This limits their access to automotive quality and manufacturing certifications or detailed vehicle designs, which can result in loss or malfunctioning of automotive components during the armoring process. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the challenges faced by Brazilian civilian armoring companies and identify opportunities for improvement in their production processes. Qualitative research was conducted using a questionnaire-based survey of eight specialized firms in Brazil, as well as literature related to DFMA, design for manufacturing and assembly, quality, automotive, and ballistic references. The study results in clude detailed armoring operation steps, qualitative survey reports, and helpful literature references for armoring practitioners to generate a standard armoring procedure for different vehicle models. Following best practices in automotive and armoring procedures collected in the survey responses can standardize and enhance ballistic protection operations while preserving the original vehicle systems’ functionalities and warranties. This work provides valuable information for armoring companies to improve their operations and interfaces with automotive systems and follow automotive and ballistic references.

Background: An assembly line is a technique used in mass production industries, especially in the automotive industry; it consists of many workstations organized along a conveyor belt system or other material handling equipment. The assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) involves assigning assembly tasks to workstations on the line while meeting optimization goals. It is considered a critical issue in operations management because it directly affects the productivity of the entire manufacturing system. Methods: Based on the mathematical model previously developed by (Esmaeilbeigi, Naderi, and Charkhgard 2015) for the E-type SALBP problem, we proposed a new model adaptable to the automotive sector. The proposed model uses new feasibility rules and optimizes constraints in order to propose better balancing results and efficiency. Results: A computational experiment is presented in this article, using the newly developed model to balance an assembly line in an automotive manufacturing plant consisting of 5 workstations. Conclusions: The experimental results show that the proposed model improved the line efficiency by 15%, which proves that the proposed method has good robustness.

The article presents the most important causes of the unstable connection between cast iron ring inserts and the silumin casting of an engine piston. It is shown that manufacturing defects are mainly related to the alfin processing of inserts in Al-Si alloy (the so-called AS9 alloy). Exceeding the permissible iron content in AS9 alloy causes the crystallization of brittle -Al5FeSi phases. Their unfavorable morphology and large size are the main reasons for the weakening of the diffusion connection between the inserts and the piston, causing an unacceptable proportion of defective products. The study presented in this work was conducted under industrial conditions on a population of 10.000 pistons. Quality control data, production parameters, as well as the micro- and macro-structures of the cast iron inserts, and the interface area between the inserts and the silumin piston, were analyzed. Material and technological solutions have been proposed to reduce the occurrence of casting defects at the insert-piston joint. This includes the introduction of so-called "morphological correctors" of the -Al5FeSi phases, reducing the possibility of gaseous impurities in the AS9 alloy and optimizing the temperature of the alfin alloy.

Content available remote Surowce wtórne w wyrobach kompozytowych w branży automotive
PL
Od 2018 roku obserwuje się zapaść na rynku surowców objawiający się ograniczoną i niestabilną dostępnością oraz ogólnym wzrostem cen. Dodatkowo Dyrektywy Unii Europejskiej coraz bardziej restrykcyjnie formułują zasady gospodarki odpadami i udziału surowców wtórnych w produktach wprowadzanych na rynek. Odpowiedzią na oba zagadnienia jest zwiększenie udziału recyklingu w procesach produkcyjnych, co w przypadku materiałów niskocząsteczkowych, jak stal, szkło i papier jest już dobrze rozpoznane i wdrożone. Takie praktyki nie stanowią też problemu w przypadku tworzyw termoplastycznych, jak poliolefiny, poliamidy i in. W branży automotive, niezależnie od rodzaju napędu, duży udział w surowcach odpadowych mają też kompozyty i tekstylia. Takie materiały, nie są obecnie recyklowane na szeroką skalę, a odpady z ich zawartością są składowane w glebie lub spalane pirolitycznie z emisją spalin do atmosfery. W artykule przeprowadzono dyskusję o możliwości wdrożenia recyklingu materiałów kompozytowych i tekstylnych w branży automotive oraz przedstawiono próby laboratoryjne obróbki takich surowców odpadowych i wytwarzania kompozytów ze znacznym udziałem recyklatów.

Since 2018, some collapse in the market of raw materials has been observed, which is manifested by limited and volatile availability of products and an overall increase in prices. In addition, European Union Directives more and more restrictively formulate the rules of waste management and the share of secondary raw materials in products placed on the market. The answer to both issues is to increase the share of recycling in production processes, which in the case of low-molecular materials such as steel, glass and paper is already well recognized and implemented. Such practices are also not a problem for thermoplastics such as polyolefins, polyamides, etc. In the automotive industry, regardless of the type of drive, composites and textiles also have a large share in waste materials. Such materials are currently not recycled on a large scale, and the waste with their content is deposited in the soil or pyrolytically burned with the emission of exhaust gases into the atmosphere.

The European Commission's ambitious plan to reduce CO2 emissions has a significant impact on the global automotive industry. Recent development of new diesel and petrol engines with direct injection is aimed at improving fuel efficiency while maintaining (or enhancing) engine performance. This naturally also increases the demands on the properties of the most stressed engine components (e.g., cylinder heads, engine blocks, pistons), which leads to the development of new materials. Presented work analysed the effect of different mold temperatures (60; 120; 180 °C) on mechanical, physical properties and microstructure of AlSi5Cu2Mg aluminium alloy. This alloy is currently being used for the production of cylinder head castings. The results showed that the changing mold temperature had an effect on mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength and Young modulus values). SEM with EDX analysis of intermetallic phases revealed there were no size and morphology changes of Cu, Mg and Fe intermetallic phases when the mold temperature changed. No significant effect of different mold temperature on physical properties (thermal and electrical conductivity) and fracture mechanism occurred during experiment. Optimal combination of mechanical and physical properties of AlSi5Cu2Mg alloy was achieved using a permanent mold with temperature ranging from 120 to 180 °C.

The coronavirus pandemic is a crisis that disrupts the global supply chain and slows down the world economy. A significant challenge for the companies in the manufacturing sector is to mitigate risks related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Grounded in the resilience theory, resilience (i.e., prepare, prevent, protect, respond, and recover processes) aims to manage risks and ensure business continuity. This research aims to identify the key factors for the resilient manufacturing management of Thai automotive industries during the COVID-19 outbreak. Three outstanding companies of tier 1 automotive suppliers have been selected as case studies in this work. This qualitative research was completed by using a semi-structured interview. The target interviewers were CEOs or general managers. The data analysis was divided into two phases. Phase one summarised the interview data of each company. Phase two used thematic analysis and cross-case analysis to identify resilience practices’ patterns, themes, and multi-factors. The findings indicate three key factors to enhance resilience: leadership, technology, and the firm’s experience in handling emerging events. Together, these factors help enterprises to prepare for Business Continuity Planning (BCP), improve supply chain management, and increase the firm’s ability to recover from disruption situations. This paper contributes to the literature on the supply chain resilience in the automotive industry by providing a guideline for firms to implement resilience practices, improve business operations, and increase firm’s capabilities, both as human skills and technologies, to deal with a novel crisis. Resilience practices response to the COVID-19 outbreak not only helps the companies minimise business disruption in the short-term but also includes the long-term response strategies for unknown events. For this purpose, the case study research was conducted to investigate the resilience strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic and determine the critical success factors of resilience implementation in the Thai automotive industry.

Logistics activities are present in different business functions, which is why unified decision making in logistics has a significant effect on the organization of logistics processes in companies. Scientific literature highlights various aspects of logistics decision making, but so far, no survey has been conducted that can accurately illustrate the effect of centralized logistics and the effect of the level of Logistics knowledge of employees from other departments on unified decision making in the organization of logistics processes. For this purpose, a statistical analysis was carried out on a sample of companies from the Slovenian automotive industry, which is one of theleading high-tech industries in the world. The results of multiple linear regression show that the greater the knowledge of logistics among the employees from other departments, the more logistics costs are taken into account during the development of the product. This is an important finding for the automotive industry, as well as for other manufacturing industries, especially with respect to efficient planning of Logistics processes, starting from the early stages of product development. This enables better control over logistics costs, as all business functions within the company participate in the process. The results presented here highlight future guidelines for the organisation of logistics processes in the high-tech automotive industry. It was verified by multiple linear regression.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań prowadzonych w warunkach przemysłowych. Badania dotyczą wieloparametrowej ocenę skuteczności działania mieszanin technicznych soli modyfikujących stop AISi7Mg - tzw. rozdrabniaczy ziaren. Mieszaniny soli są wytwarzane przez grupę producentów i stanowią ofertę przemysłową. Porównano skuteczność działania pięciu rożnych mieszanin soli barowych i tytanowych oraz zaprawy modyfikującej AITi5B. Sole wprowadzano do kąpieli metalowej metodą „na powierzchnie" po utworzeniu na niej leja, na skutek wysokich obrotów rotora rafinacji gazowej. Wszystkie sole zwiększają właściwości wytrzymałościowe stopu po obróbce cieplnej T6 (Rm.Rp02, A5, HB). Równolegle stwierdza się w badaniach, iż technika wprowadzania soli „na powierzchnię'' zwiększa liczbę wtrąceń niemetalowych w stopie. Wtrącenia, w przypadku wytwarzania obręczy kół samochodowych (felg), jeśli zostaną rozmieszczone na powierzchni odlewu, mogą stanowić przyczynę zabrakowania.

The results of tests performed under industrial conditions are presented in the hereby paper. Investigations concern multi-parameter assessments of the efficiency of technological salts mixtures - the so-called grains crushers - modifying the AISi7Mg alloy. Mixtures of salts are produced by a group of producers and constitute the industrial offers. The efficiency of operations of five different mixtures of barium and titanium salts as well as of the AITi5B inoculant, were compared. Salts were introduced to the metal bath by the method: 'on the surface' after making a pouring cap in it, due to a high speed rotor of the gaseous refining. All salts increase strength properties of alloys after the heat treatment T6 (Rm.Rp02, A5, HH). It was also found in tests, that the salts introduction by means of 'on the surface' technique increases the number of non-metallic inclusions in the alloy. If such inclusions remain on the casting surface, they can constitute the reason of the casting rejection, in case of the production of wheel rims.
