Studies were made on surface defects formed in industrial steel castings. It has been concluded that the defects are formed due to an interaction between molten metal and moulding sand constituents. The microscopic analysis indicated strong non-homogeneity of the examined defects in respect of both structure and chemical composition. Basing on the examinations carried out under the scanning electron microscope, it was observed that within each defect two characteristic regions could be distinguished. One of them was formed of the silica sand grains, while the other contained a complex oxide phase, the chemical composition of which depended on the type of protective coating and the cast steel grade.

Przeprowadzono badania wad powierzchniowych powstałych na przemysłowych odlewach staliwnych. Stwierdzono, że powstałe wady są rezultatem oddziaływania ciekłego metalu ze składnikami masy formierskiej. Przeprowadzona analiza mikroskopowa wskazuje na silną niejednorodność badanych wad pod względem budowy i składu chemicznego. Na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych z wykorzystaniem elektronowego mikroskopu skaningowego stwierdzono, że w obrębie każdej z nich można wyróżnić dwa charakterystyczne obszary. Jeden z nich tworzą ziarna piasku kwarcowego, natomiast drugi obszar stanowi złożona faza tlenkowa, której skład chemiczny zależy od rodzaju powłoki ochronnej i gatunku staliwa.

The problem of casting defects diagnosis includes several distinct areas in which only the relevant global perspective allows for a satisfactory solution of the diagnostic task. One of these areas relates to knowledge about the parameters of the possible occurrence of defects. This knowledge is the more valuable, the more extensive it is, and the more numerous are the sources it has been acquired from. It should be combined into a coherent whole and given the form allowing for component processing. The paper proposes a solution in which the methods of knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence have been used. In this solution, a very important role is played by formalisms and inference algorithm design as they have a decisive impact on the effectiveness of the diagnostic process. A new solution proposed in this paper is to use attribute table as, a tool supporting the identification of defects. To this purpose the table has been developed (as on open system) in which descriptions of defects from various sources (international literature, expert’s knowledge, production data) was collected. The entire system creates a consistent methodological approach, enabling more comprehensive treatment of the diagnostic process, what should be noted as a new solution of the problem. All this results in increased efficiency and reliability of the diagnostic process.

Problem diagnostyki wad wyrobów odlewniczych obejmuje kilka odrębnych dziedzin, dla których dopiero odpowiednie globalne spojrzenie pozwala na satysfakcjonujące rozwiązanie zadań diagnostycznych. Jedna z tych dziedzin dotyczy wiedzy o parametrach możliwości wystąpienia wad. Wiedza ta jest tym bardziej cenna im jest bardziej rozległa, pozyskana z wiekszej ilości źródeł. Taką wiedzę należy połączyć w spójna całość i nadać jej forme umożliwiającą przetwarzanie komponentowe. W artykule zaproponowano rozwiązanie, w którym wykorzystane zostały inżynieria wiedzy oraz metody sztucznej inteligencji. W omawianym rozwiązaniu bardzo ważną rolę odgrywaja formalizmy oraz konstrukcja algorytmu wnioskowania gdyż mają one decydujący wpływ na efektywność procesu diagnostycznego. Całość systemu tworzy spójne podejście metodyczne, umożliwiające bardziej kompleksowe traktowanie procesu diagnostycznego. Równocześnie, zastosowanie alternatywnych rozwiązań modułu określajacego przyczyny wady (logika rozmyta, LPR, logika klasyczna), pozwala na dostosowanie procedur decyzyjnych do aktualnych kompetencji użytkownika, umożliwiając działania w warunkach niepewności. Wszystko to składa się na zwiększenie efektywności i wiarygodnosci procesu diagnostycznego.

The forecast of structure and properties of casting is based on results of computer simulation of physical processes which are carried out during the casting processes. For the effective using of simulation system it is necessary to validate mathematica-physical models describing process of casting formation and the creation of local discontinues, witch determinate the casting properties. In the paper the proposition for quantitative validation of VP system using solidification casting defects by information sources of II group (methods of NDT) was introduced. It was named the VP/RT validation (virtual prototyping/radiographic testing validation). Nowadays identification of casting defects noticeable on X-ray images bases on comparison of X-ray image of casting with relates to the ASTM. The results of this comparison are often not conclusive because based on operator's subjective assessment. In the paper the system of quantitative identification of iron casting defects on X-ray images and classification this defects to ASTM class is presented. The methods of pattern recognition and machine learning were applied.

This paper describes an analysis of a defective microstructure of a mill roll. For this purpose, a piece of a broken roll was collected. That roll was made of mottled cast iron. Its microstructure consisted of modular graphite, transformed ledeburite and a matrix composed of bainite and martensite. Metallographic investigations were performed nearby the fracture in the roll. Observations were conducted on polished sections, first not etched, and then etched, which allowed us to trace carefully the propagation of the fracture. There was found a strict correlation between the microstructure of the roll and the progress occurring in the crack. It was ascertained that the basic reason for the damage to the roll was banded precipitations of ledeburitic cementite. In addition, cementite formed a continuous network. Another microstructure defects of that roll are also precipitations of secondary carbides on the boundaries of former grain of austenite as well as the occurrence of upper bainite in its matrix. The results obtained hereunder allow broadening the data base relative to the genesis of damages to mill rolls, which in future will permit one to design a proper microstructure of cast iron mill rolls. Proper microstructure of cast iron mill roll should be shaped at the stage of designing the chemical composition, conditions of crystallization or heat treatment if any.

Purpose: This study concerns the formation of pinholes in castings by reaction between cast iron with compacted graphite and green sand mould. Methodology: Experiments were done on bar castings moulded in green bentonite mixtures without carbonaceous matters. Moulding sand moisture and aluminium content in the melt were purposely changed. Metal was melted in a 100 kg furnace by remelting the uniform charge of return material. Metal was inoculated all at once in a ladle and modified in a reaction chamber in a mould or as sandwich method in a pouring ladle. Findings: The formation of pinholes was not caused by high moisture of the mould but this defect was sensible to aluminium content in metal. In castings with high aluminium content > 0.2 % the pinholes occurred in high numbers, and namely under low and also high moistures [> 4 %]. In previous melts with aluminium contents < 0.02 % defects occurred in small range. Practical implications: Thus the conclusions known from literature about the influence of Al on pinholes occurrence in cast irons were confirmed. Oxygen activity in metal during its flowing and cooling in the mould was also measured but this quantity was not changed too in dependence on pinholes content. Morphological analyses near the defect have indicated that it is a physical type of pinholes caused by hydrogen. Originality: A number of works were aimed at explanation of causes of pinholes formation in lamellar graphite iron castings and spheroidal graphite ones. But this defect is formed in castings from compacted graphite cast iron too and the research was aimed just to this material. The contribution is in such a way an exceptional one.

Bentonite mixtures belong and will always belong among the most widespread sand mixtures for the "green sand" technology of castings production. This technology's essential advantage is bentonite mixtures application reversibility in the closed circulation after composition modifications and circulation losses replenishment. After the casting of a mould, the surrounding sand mixture is strained by the solidifying casting heat and bentonite degradation occurs. In case of appropriate conditions the oolitization occurs. This phenomenon is specific only for bentonite-bonded mixtures. The oolitization of opening material silica grains brings a number of negative as well as positive features with it. It is not only a technological problem but economical and ecological as well because for minimization of mixture regeneration with a help of new sand it is necessary to know bentonite mixtures quality control tools even in term of the oolitization rate. This paper deals with the description of undemanding physical method of the oolitization rate evaluation with a help of powder density assessment and its examination with actual sand mixtures which were obtained from the Czech Republic foundry plants. There are foundry plants of heavier weight castings and in one case there was an operation where bentonite mixtures regeneration was applied. Moreover, the oolitization effect on metal penetration in test castings was verified.

The paper presents some manufacturing problems concerning leaded brass casting using the precision casting method. It shows that the quality of the alloy depends on the intermetalic phase compounds known as hard inclusions that are formed in the alloy. The intrusions, composed mainly of iron, have also negative influence on obtaining good quality i.e. smooth surfaces of products. One of the methods to improve surface smoothness proposed by authors is to apply additional copper plating and fine polishing.

A problem of splinter formation during machining the AC44200 alloy high pressure die casting has been experimental investigated. In order to establish the reason of this occurrence a set of 200 high pressure die casting of the tensile strength samples have been prepared. The tensile tests were carried out using a Zwick Z050 universal testing machine. JM-SPC program has been used for statistical analysis of test results. A large variability of tensile strength results has been found. In order to find the reason of this variability the fracture surface investigations (macrographs for all of samples and SEM micrographs for chosen samples) have been carried out. It has been establish that in all cases a significant decrease of tensile strength was caused by presence of inclusions or porosity. In lot of cases the inclusions have a form of oxide film.

Shrinkage defects in ductile iron castings can be of two basic types: shrinkage cavities associated with the liquid contraction prior to the expansion period of the iron as well as the porosity, which may appear even if the liquid shrinkage is fully compensated. In the present paper two possible mechanisms of the porosity are presented and analyzed. The first one is the Karsay's mechanism based on the secondary shrinkage concept. The second one is the mechanism acting during the expansion period of the iron, first suggested by Ohnaka and co-authors and essentially modified by the present authors. The mechanical interactions between casting and mould are determined for the both mechanisms. Their analysis leads to the conclusion, that porosity forms during expansion period of the melt. The direct cause is the negative pressure which appears in the central part of the casting due to the differences in expansion coefficients of the fast cooling surface layer and slow cooling inner region. Observations concerning feeding behavior of ductile iron castings, based on this mechanism, agree well with industrial practice. The secondary shrinkage is not only needless to induce the porosity, but the corresponding mechanism of its occurrence, proposed by Karsay, does not seem to be valid.

The parameters during the moulding process of green sand directly affect casting quality. In-sufficient compaction can result in rough casting surfaces and even breakage. Too much compaction requires more energy, can cause casting defects due to low gas permeability and break of cogs and causes more wear on the pattern and equipment. Depending on the moulding process parameters, the properties of the moulding sand and the geometry of the pattern, different regions in the mould experience different cohesion and adhesion forces resulting in varying mould properties. The effect of different moulding parameters was examined by small compaction sensors and a new measuring device for the determination of cohesion in the cog area and adhesion forces at the contour of cog pattern. By optimizing of moulding parameters it is possible to produce casting without cog breaking and high surface quality. These results allow foundry personnel to monitor, adjust and optimise the moulding process.

Parametry procesu formowania z zastosowaniem mas klasycznych bezpośrednio wpływają na jakość odlewów. Niewłaściwe zagęszczenie może być przyczyną dużej chropowatości powierzchni odlewów a nawet uszkodzeń form. Zbyt duże zagęszczenie wymaga większych nakładów energetycznych i może powodować wady odlewów spowodowane małą przepuszczalnością, oberwaniem garbów (wystepów) form, a także jest przyczyną zwiększonego zużycia oprzyrządowania modelowego. W zależności od parametrów procesu formowania oraz właściwości masy formierskiej w różnych obszarach formy występują zróżnicowane wartości sił adhezji i kohezji wywołujące zmienne właściwości formy. Wpływ zróżnicowanych parametrów formowania był badany przy użyciu małych czujników zagęszczenia oraz nowego urządzenia do określenia sił kohezji w obszarze garbu formy oraz sił adhezji na powierzchni modelu odwzorowujacej wnękę. Optymalizacja parametrów formowania umożliwia eliminacje wad odlewów spowodowanych oberwaniem garbów oraz otrzymanie odlewów o wysokiej jakości powierzchni. Przedstawione wyniki umożliwiają personelowi odlewni monitorowanie, nastawianie parametrów i optymalizowanie procesu formowania.
