Reference materials are their equivalents made from new raw materials. Both types of materials are widely available on the market. In order to compare their mechanical properties and to check whether recycled materials do not differ in quality from their equivalents made from new raw materials, tensile strength tests were performed. In addition, the Vickers microhardness was measured, and the structure of printed samples using optical microscopy was observed.The paper presents the results of the static tensile strength test of samples made by the FDM/FFF technology from the tested materials in accordance with the ISO-00527-2-2012 standard. The samples were manufactured at the average temperature recommended by the producer 10C. The results of tensile strength tests indicate that the samples printed at the average temperature show the best tensile strength for both methods of filament deposition.The recycled materials are not significantly different from the reference materials in terms of tensile strength, microhardness and structure. It is reasonable to test other polymeric materials further and check materials from several consecutive recycling cycles.Closing the cycle of plastic used in 3D printing.

Experimental methods such as compression tests were conducted to determine the characteristics of lattice structures. In addition, theoretical analysis was conducted using Hook's law and Ashby's Gibson model to predict appropriate behaviour. The combination of experimental and theoretical methods provided a comprehensive understanding of lattice structures and their properties.The experimental study examined the impact of the shape and size of a lattice structure on the stiffness and lightness of objects 3D printed with FDM technology by PLA material. The research revealed that the 6x6x6 diagonal lattice structure size provided a good balance between stiffness and lightness. While the 6x6x6 byte structure was even lighter, with a mass ratio of 2.09 compared to the diagonal structure, it was less rigid, with a ratio of 0.43, making the diagonal structure more suitable for certain applications. The study highlights the importance of considering both the shape and size of the lattice structure when designing 3D-printed objects with specific mechanical properties; the chosen structure could be a good choice for applications where stiffness and lightness are important.The limitations of the research lie in its limited scope, focusing primarily on the effect of shape (octet-diagonal centred) and unit cell size on Young's modulus of PLA material. Other aspects of 3D printing, such as material selection and thermal properties, were not considered. Furthermore, the results obtained are specific to the printing parameters and experimental conditions chosen, which limits their generalizability to other 3D printing configurations or methods. However, these results have important implications for optimising the PLA printing process. They enable the identification of optimal parameters, such as unit cell shape and size, to produce stiffer, higher-quality structures. In addition, the research is helping to improve the mechanical properties of 3D-printed lattice parts, paving the way for more efficient manufacturing methods and stronger components.Our analysis can be used as a decision aid for the design of FDM lattice parts. Indeed, we can choose the diagonal structure of 6x6x6, which would provide favourable stiffness for functional parts.The paper explores the compression test of lattice structures using FDM technology, which presents a new direction for additive manufacturing. The study takes an experimental approach to evaluate the reliability of various additive manufacturing technologies for creating lattice structures.

Specimens were made by using different welding approaches: single-pass welding, multi-pass welding and overlaying.It is shown that with an increase of the heat input energy, the width of the resulting decarbonised layer decreases linearly; the increase of the base metal grain size leads to a decrease in the layer width after tempering at 750C. The microhardness testing showed the average hardness in the decarburised layer of 15Kh2M2FBS steel was 161 HV0.1 (minimum – 154 HV0.1), while the average hardness in the rest of the heat-affected zone was 192 HV0.1.Future research may include comparing the creep rupture strength of the weldments made with different welding parameters or base metal grain size to assess the influence of these factors on creep rupture strength.Results permit to achieve minimisation of the rate of carbon diffusion in the weld-adjacent area of the heat-affected zone by means of variation of welded parameters and base metal grain size.An influence of high-diffusivity paths (grain boundaries) on carbon diffusion in the heat-affected zone of dissimilar weldments was confirmed experimentally; the correlation between base metal grain size/welding parameters and the rate of the diffusion during high-temperature exposure was found.","PeriodicalId":14825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82338851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key factors of human error resulting in accidents include lack of knowledge about hazards in the working environment and appropriate qualifications or irregularities in the behaviour of a group of employees in relation to the adopted social standards, established rules, or inappropriate behaviour.

The material used is galvanized steel with a thickness of 3 mm with dimensions of 200 mm in length and 200 mm in width. A round profile is good if the distance between the points of the geometric shape is the same distance from the centre point.The measurement results show that the smallest radius deviation is with an average value of 20.08 mm at a nozzle diameter of 2.5 mm and a cutting speed of 3 m/min, close to the initial radius value of 20.00 mm.During the laser cutting process, The best roundness quality is the combination of a nozzle diameter of 2.5 mm and a cutting speed of 3 m/min with a small deviation (the index deviation is 0.4%). At the same time, the biggest deviation in this experiment is the combination of parameters with a nozzle diameter of 3 mm and a cutting speed of 4 m/min (the maximum deviation value is 1%).The use of the proposed nozzle diameter and cutting speed approach is an important requirement for industrial applications with laser cutting to get the right product for its intended use.This article presents different nozzle diameters and cutting speeds to reveal the roundness quality due to these variations, where the roundness quality will be adapted for a particular application.","PeriodicalId":14825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80764155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
