Enlargement of quality requirements in metallurgical semi products used in cannon barrels production (forgings) has resulted in substantially increased number of defective products. The main issues are poor quality of plastic properties and yield point of processed materials. Careful analysis of forgings technology and adaptation of its constituent phases has not resulted in the quality enhance...

A fractured nutcracker was examined for determining the root cause/s for premature fracture/failure. This is one of the common tools used typically for cracking hard nuts. In this study, metallurgical failure analysis techniques namely, visual inspection, optical microscopy, SEM, and hardness tests were used in investigating the broken product. From the metallurgical analysis, it was determined...

B. Gajdzik, The Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland The article presents the assumptions for construction of a transformation restructuring model which describes, in a complex way, the range of changes implemented in metallurgical enterprises in Poland in time of economical changes. The model was prepared on the basis of thorough rese...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of complaints of musculoskeletal pain in workers following the metallurgical establishing a relationship with the sociodemographic profile and perception of professionals about the cause of symptoms. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the following metallurgical enterprises in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. The sample ...

T. Sadilek, University of Economics, Faculty of International Relations, Prague, Czech Republic The aim of the article is to present the regional distribution of the metallurgical industry in the Czech Republic and to describe the specific factors which determine the localization of the industry in Czech regions. In order to achieve that goal, traditional tools of regional analysis are used, su...

Leaching mechanism of zinc oxide is important not only to understand zinc smelting process but also to develop of new zinc recycling process. Recycling of zinc is mainly done by treatment of electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust). In Japan pyro metallurgical process is enhanced for EAF dust treatment, however only zinc oxide can be recovered by pyro metallurgical process. Hydro metallurgical proc...

The iron and steel making is considered among the biggest industries which run world. This industry contributes around 20% of global industrial-sector energy consumption that provided significantly by coal coke. fossil-based fuels are consumed largely for heat generation reducing agents in production processes leads to huge CO2 emissions. matter encourages find an effective, environmentally fri...
