Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Manufacturing technologies are used in many fields. They are used to achieve production sustainability and cost-effective product manufacturing. The processes, materials, and technologies used, as well as their impact, are important features of the entire production chain.

This Special Issue of Materials deals with analyses applied using various manufacturing technologies, studies of the phenomena accompanying manufacturing processes, as well the use of engineering tools.

Your contributions could help us to understand and solve the challenges currently facing experts and researchers. Manuscripts should be related to the machining of metals and alloys, cold metal processing, welding, production and analysis of polymers and composites, issues related to the research of tools and tooling systems, surface engineering, coordinate measuring, reverse engineering, and accompanying phenomena manufacturing processes, such as friction and wear.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue of Materials. Articles, reviews, and communications are also all welcome.

The need, or even the obligation, to take care of the natural environment compels a search for new technological solutions, or for known solutions to be adapted to new applications. The maxim is ‘don’t harm, but improve the world for future generations’. In the wood industry in particular, given that it is based on a natural raw material, we must look for ecological solutions. Trees grow, but the demand for wood exceeds the volume of tree growth. In industrial manufacturing, one of the ways to make full use of wood is through chipless processing, which occurs during rotary cutting (peeling). In addition, wood is a natural material, each fragment of which has a range of properties. In addition, wood defects in quality manipulation generate a lot of waste. The aim of this study was to analyse the quality effect of the tested layered composites for flooring materials on production application. The practical purpose was to exchange actual sawing-based production for chipless production. The composite base layers were made of pine wood (Pinus L.) veneers with differing quality classes. The samples were subjected to three-point bending tests to calculate the moduli of elasticity and stiffness, which are the most important parameters. Because both analysed parameters describe product quality, the analyses were based on the creation of Shewhart control charts for each parameter. In theory, these control charts are tools for analysing whether the production process is stable and yields predictable results. To have full control over the process, five elements have to be applied: central line (target), two types of control lines (upper and lower) and two types of specification lines (upper and lower). New types of layered composites for flooring may be applied to production once verified using Shewhart control charts. It turns out that it is possible to produce the base layer of the flooring materials using the rotary cutting (peeling) method without having to analyse the quality of the raw material. This is a way to significantly increase the efficiency of production in every element of manufacturing. Full article

The refurbishment of dies by the deposition welding of wear areas is an efficient and economical process. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the lifetimes of different types of dies for the manufacturing of wagon wheels. The analyzed dies were manufactured by conventional processes (Type I) and reconditioned through a deposition welding procedure using a dedicated electrode (Type II). The Anderson–Darling test was conducted to analyze the goodness of fit of the lifetime data specific to the die types. The maximum likelihood estimation method (MLE) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was applied in order to estimate the lifetime distribution parameters. It was found that the lifetimes of type II dies were longer than those of type I dies. The mean time to failure (MTTF) recorded for reconditioned dies was 426 min, while the mean time to failure of dies manufactured by conventional processes was approximatively 253 min. In addition, an accentuated hazard rate for type I dies compared to type II dies was observed. The results of this analysis emphasized the fact that dies can be restored to their initial operating capacity by successfully using deposition welding procedures that confer a high resistance to operational loads. At the same time, the use of these procedures allows for the sustainable development of resources and waste management. Full article

This paper presents the experimental results of a study investigating the impact of the machining fluid type, the variable factor, used in slide burnishing on 2D and 3D surface roughness; surface topography; Abbott–Firestone curve shape; microhardness; and SFE (surface free energy). In the experiment, pre-ground, ringed samples of C45 steel were used. The results showed an over eight-fold decrease in the value of the Ra (arithmetical mean deviation) parameter and over a five-fold decrease in the Rt (total height of profile) parameter in relation to their values after grinding. The parameters Rpk (reduced peak height), Rk (core roughness depth), and Rvk (reduced valley depth) were also reduced. The Abbott–Firestone curve after slide burnishing changed its angle of inclination (it was more flattened), and the material ratio Smr increased. The reduction in the Rpk and Rk parameters and increased material ratio will most likely contribute to restoring the functionality of these surfaces (increased resistance to abrasive wear). After slide burnishing, the maximum 25% increase in microhardness was obtained compared to the value after grinding, while the layer thickness was 20 μm. The surface energy of elements subjected to slide burnishing using various machining fluids slightly increased, or its value was close to that of the ground surface. The most favourable properties of the surface layer in terms of mating between two elements were obtained for a part that was slide-burnished with a mixture of oil + polymethyl methacrylate (PMM) + molybdenum disulphide (MoS2).

Gear drives are widely used in various fields and applications due to their properties and capacity. Their versatility, durability, and ability to transmit high torques as well as precision and reliability make them extremely useful in many fields of technology. They are widely used in industrial and energy machinery, vehicle drive systems, aerospace, medical devices, and many other areas. Gears can be manufactured using many technologies. This work focuses mainly on machining with particular emphasis on high-performance new technologies. The process of mathematical modeling of the gear and the machined profile is strongly related to CNC machining technologies. A robust correlation of systems supporting the design and modeling of sliding gears needed for the manufacturing process is presented in the article. It is very important to properly assess gears with correct manufacturing in accordance with a specific standard. The article presents an analysis of available methods for controlling gears using coordinate measurement techniques. Gear machining methods were assessed in terms of the technologies used as well as their productivity and manufacturing tolerance. Full article
