Air entrainment defect is a common type of defect in the casting process, which will seriously affect the quality of the casting. Numerical simulation technology can predict the occurrence of casting defects according to the evolution law of liquid metal in the process of filling and solidification. The simulation of air entrainment process is a hot and difficult issue in the field of numerical simulation. The evolution law of air entrainment and the tracking of induced bubbles in the process of metal filling are still lacking. So is the quantitative prediction of trained gas. In this paper, based on the numerical simulation software of Inte CAST, this paper proposes an algorithm for air entrainment search and tracking, which is used to develop a quantitative prediction system for air entrainment. The feasibility of the system is verified through the simulation calculation of the typical test pieces of the air entrainment and the prediction of air entrainment defects of the casting in the process of filling is obtained through the simulation calculation of the actual casting, which can provide a certain guiding role for the optimization of the process in the production practice.

Heat and mass transfer in the process of friction stir welding (FSW) determine the weld formation quality. Meanwhile, the formation of voids in FSW limits welding speed improvement and welding efficiency. Although superimposing ultrasonic vibration can be adopted as an effective means to restrain the formation of voids, the potential suppression mechanism was still unrevealed. Herein, a multi-physical model using the shear stress boundary conditions was put forward to quantitatively study the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the heat and mass transfer behaviors and the resulting weld formation which was also validated experimentally. Our results show that ultrasonic vibration in FSW slightly enhances the heat flux at the tool-work piece interfacial contact surface as well as the plastic deformation heat generation near the tool. Therefore, the high-temperature area (higher than 690 K) near the tool pin side increases from 2.11 to 2.29 mm. The slightly higher heat rate and temperature enhance the fluidity of plastic material, resulting in an obvious increase in the flow velocity. As a consequence, the plastic material moves farther to fill the cavity at the rear advancing side, which is conducive to eliminating the void defects. The maximum strain rate on z = 2 mm horizontal plane at the AS is 206.7 s−1 in UVeFSW, while it is 13.5 s−1 in CFSW. The strain rate of the contact interface on AS increases by nearly 5 times, which implies an enhanced plastic material flow and is the main reason for suppressing void defects by superimposing ultrasonic vibration in FSW.
Purpose: In response to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, many employers have decided to switch to remote work. This form of work has become a new professional reality for employees representing all generations. Each of them in their own way found themselves in these new working conditions. The article focuses on the experience of the youngest cohort of workers in this regard. The main goal of the paper is to recognize the experience of Generation Z employees in the area of remote work and to identify key factors that, in the opinion of representatives of Generation Z, favor or limit remote work in an uncertain time of Covid-19. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a diagnostic survey with a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was carried out using the CAWI method. It was filled in by 334 respondents who represent Generation Z, professionally active, who worked remotely during the pandemic. As many as 310 questionnaires were selected for the final analysis. Findings: Young people like the model of remote work because they can derive many benefits from it. Representatives of Generation Z wonder whether the return to office work will deprive them of their privileges and make them submit to a certain discipline and rules applicable there. Research limitations/implications: Due to the limitations of the research sample it is important to underline that generalizing the research results must be done with caution. The authors of the article intend to continue the research carried out on the discussed topic, as well as in the field of adaptability to remote work of other three generations: Y, X, and BB. Practical implications: Recognition of experience of both employers and young employees in the field of remote work, there is a great opportunity for new solutions in HRM and work management, more relevant to the challenges of the pandemic and post-pandemic world of work. Originality/value: The paper analyzes the remote work experience of employees in pandemic reality. Its value is to look at the issue from the perspective of the experience of the youngest employees representing Generation Z. The article is addressed to human resources managers.

It is known that vibration is generated to one degree or another by all moving parts of machines. Vibration processes arising in the process of functioning of machines and equipment are highly informative, reflecting the technical condition of many parts and assemblies quite fully. Therefore, the use of vibration diagnostics systems makes it possible to determine a defect even at the stage of inception, thereby excluding emergency stops of machinery. An urgent task is to create a vibration analysis device, which consists of a sensor for measuring vibration, the principle of operation of which is based on the use of a direct piezoelectric effect. The output signal of the sensor will go to a personal computer or any other device with the Windows operating system, where a spectral analysis of the measured vibration signal is carried out using a Matlab-based diagnostic program.

Wiadomo, że wibracje w mniejszym lub większym stopniu są generowane przez wszystkie ruchome części maszyn. Procesy wibracyjne powstające w trakcie pracy maszyn i urządzeń mają bardzo bogaty charakter informacyjny, w pełni odzwierciedlając stan techniczny wielu części i zespołów. Dlatego zastosowanie systemów diagnostyki drganiowej pozwala na określenie usterki już na etapie jej powstania, wykluczając tym samym awaryjne zatrzymania maszyn. Pilnym zadaniem jest stworzenie urządzenia do analizy drgań, które składa się z czujnika do pomiaru drgań, którego zasada działania opiera się na wykorzystaniu bezpośredniego efektu piezoelektrycznego. Sygnał wyjściowy czujnika trafia do komputera osobistego lub innego urządzenia z systemem operacyjnym Windows, gdzie analiza widmowa mierzonego sygnału drgań jest przeprowadzana za pomocą programu diagnostycznego opartego na Matlabie.

The increase in the quality requirements for the pipes and the increasing needs to reduce production costs, while increasing the efficiency of the process in market of hot rolled pipes are observed. One of the cost reduction factors is the reduction of the number of defects by early detection and, if possible, the removal of non-conformities. Incompatibility is an error that can be removed in accordance with the performance standard that does not cause defects (Norma API). The defect is imperfection that is so important that it is the basis for the removal of the product or its part based on the criteria set out in the performance standards. In pipe manufacturing processes, defects and batch incompatibilities can be distinguished, which arise in the steelworks during metal solidification and roll forming in the course of metal processing. The defect may also arise as a result of removing steel material or result from rolling processes defects. The paper presents the analysis of the process of quality control of pipes manufactured using the pilgrim method on the basis of real process data. The analysis were involved 1070 pieces of ingots from 11 different melts for rolling pipes. At various stages of production, discrepancies and defects were revealed, which were caused by metallurgical or technological defects associated with rolling pipes. The total amount of discrepancies and defects eliminated 168 pieces of finished pipes. The aim of the work is to show that by means of appropriately selected methods of eliminating imperfections, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process.

This work presents a scheme for the manufacture of spherical grinding bodies used in grinding and crushing machinery as a grinding medium from abrasion-resistant cast iron CHKH16 (according to GOST 7769-82) free of shrinkage defects produced by casting into single sand molds with a vertical joint and by usingcoolers. The grinding efficiency in terms of material destruction and energy consumption has been studied according to a wide range of operating parameters and new scheme for calculating the sprue and supply system has been developed by the authors of the article. Its functionality has been substantiated, particularly the use of a central riser acting as a head and the use of coolers. The conducted numerical simulation has shown the dependence of a solid phase formation over time, which characterizes the direction of the system crystallization and determines the locations of the shrinkage defects concentration. The manufacture of the grinding body with a 100 mm diameter using the considered technology is presented in this paper.

The classification includes load-independent and load-dependent testing strategies and takes into account type of tested material and diagnostic goals: geometry identification, assessment of materials characteristics and quality, detec- tion of defects and degradation processes as well as monitoring of bridge structure response to loads and environmental influences.
A steadily increasing application of fibre-reinforced plastics in the field of lightweight construction has been observed in the course of the past two decades. Currently a major challenge in the growing high technology market is the quality assurance of manufactured fibre-reinforced plastic components. During different stages in the manufacturing process of fibre-reinforced plastics, defects of different types and sizes are enclosed in them, exerting a destructive influence on the performance of fibre-reinforced plastics in various practical applications in terms of strength, stiffness and brittleness. Thus the aim of this research project was to investigate the effect of defined local defects on the mechanical properties,such as tensile, flexural and impact properties, of fibre-reinforced plastics, in particular carbon fibre-reinforced plastics. Results show that these mechanical properties depend significantly on the type and size of defect.
