The use of this innovative method (consisting of the following techniques: Pareto-Lorenz diagram, Ishikawa diagram and 5WHY method?). would contribute to identifying the causes of non-compliant castings and, consequently, to eliminating non-compliant castings. As part of the analysis of the efficiency of checkpoints, a non-conformity test was carried out on the gearbox housing castings under analysis, including the identification of sensitive areas in terms of the number of defects. Transmission housing casts have become the subject of research due to significant problems with maintaining their desired level of quality after the introduced structural and technological changes. The proposed method has helped to identify the root cause of non-compliance. These were: inadequate flooding of moulds due to insufficient employee qualifications and inadequate human resources management. The study shows the advisability of using an integrated approach to finding the causes of quality problems on the example of a foundry. This was a new solution for the company, as no in-depth analyses of quality problems using a sequence of quality management techniques have been conducted so far. The improvement actions taken so far have been sufficient in a stabilised production process, but the modification of the process has shown the need to seek other more advanced techniques. This configured and integrated method was proposed and the expected results were achieved. The sequential method developed in the study is a universal way to prevent future non-compliance in this or other companies.","PeriodicalId":18449,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2020 Conference Proeedings","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88160380","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}

In this work, copper slag from Water-jacket furnace have been used to recover copper in presence of raw palm nutshells as possible replacement of generic reductants. Characterisation of the copper slag, the palm nutshells and products were conducted using XRD, XRF and SEM-EDS. Results have shown that dominants elements in the slag were Fe 33.83 wt%, Zn 6.73 wt%, Cu 1.26 wt%. Raw palm nutshells analyses revealed 6.39 wt% moisture, 61.56 wt% volatile matters and 4.35 wt% ash content while fixed carbon amounted to be 27.89 % and loss of ignition (LOI) 91.8 %. The reduction experiments were conducted in a horizontal tube furnace at 1300 °C under argon to create an inert environment and efficiently test the reducing capability of the palm nutshells. The composition of the metal produced revealed 41.84 wt% Cu, 26.41 wt% Co and 31.75 wt% Fe. However, it was noticed that the miscibility of the metal and the slag was prominent.

The chemical polishing by 5 % HF in H 2 O 2 for 10 seconds results in selective etching for each individual phase, as confirmed by an atomic force microscopy (AFM) and hybrid AFM-in-SEM techniques. The phases are easily distinguishable in the SEM micrographs created by the low energy high take-off angle signal electrons.

However, complications can arise in the assembly of press-hardened components since conventional mechanical joining processes have their limitations due to high forces required for joining press-hardened steels, especially in multi-sheet layers. Therefore, this study focuses on the determination of an optimum process window to influence the 22MnB5 microstructure thermo-mechanically during press hardening, causing a local softening. This so-called deformation-induced ferrite improves ductility at the desired locations to ease the mechanical joining operation in the assembly. Investigations are performed on a forming dilatometer varying the cooling rate, the introduced amount of plastic strain and the forming temperature along with metallographic as well as microhardness measurements. Based on the laboratory tests, a process window of the deformation induced ferrite is derived for an application in a forming press.","PeriodicalId":18449,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2020 Conference Proeedings","volume":"449 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76058006","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}

Production practice has shown that with inappropriate selection of parameters, on the final products significant casting defects appear in the form of: drags, delaminations, sticking of castings on the mould and discoloration associated with uneven filling of the mould cavity. Based on the temperature distribution of the mould, the spray head was checked for correct operation and its impact on defects was eliminated. The filling of the mould was checked at the time of switching the second phase with the vacuum turned on and off in the mould cavity.
