The popularity and its success lies because of its uniqueness towards producing different components which are very difficult to machine like titanium, tungsten carbide, Inconel materials etc and provides a platform in producing intricate complex shape which in many cases become impossible to machine by traditional machining methods. Pure sintered titanium bears very high specific strength, abrasion and corrosion resistances and thus machining this type of materials by conventional techniques becomes very difficult though this material finds immense applications in bio-plant and aerospace components. In the present work, WEDM on pure sintered titanium is studied. The different input parameters of WEDM like, pulse on time, pulse off time, wire tension and wire feed have been varied to investigate the output response like MRR, Surface Roughness (Ra), Kerf Width and Over Cut. A response surface methodology (4 factors 3 level) design of experiment (DOE) has been applied in this context to examine the machining ability of pure sintered titanium and results are found to be satisfactory and verified by confirmatory test. The machining parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, wire tension and wire feed shows immense effect on the output responses and present study provide an optimal conditions of these input parameters to get the best output responses through RSM","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"69 1","pages":"17 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2478/scjme-2019-0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46551177","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}

Classical analysis methods are applied to the interaction of the joint elements subjected to combinations of both in-plane and out-of-plane loads and moments. The distribution of the external loads and moments within the preloaded joint is determined in relationship to individual bolts. An analysis of loads and stresses in individual bolts and dowels along with flange bending and thread shear in tapped or threaded holes is developed. The article brings together a number of concepts and links them into a practical design analysis process that is applicable for many cases of preloaded bolted joints and are adequate to demonstrate the structural integrity of each element of the joint. Interpretation of results, within the context of design standards, is provided. In some cases finite element methods may be more appropriate, and the methods discussed can be used in the validation process.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"69 1","pages":"143 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45469638","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}

It was shown that horizontal vibration affects the grinding process of boride inclusions: their average diameter reduces from 175 to 5 μm, and the amount of (FeCr)2B plastic phases increases during the redistribution of phases. Wear resistance of the metal, which was deposited using horizontal vibration with an amplitude of 300 μm, increases by 2.3-2.5 times due to wear with the fixed and unfixed abrasive material, and by 2.8 times due to wear under impact loads. For restoration and strengthening of large-size parts, it is proposed to add Al-Mg powder (Al = 47 - 53 %, Mg = 53-47% wt. %) to the CW charge to increase wear resistance of the deposited metal of the Fe-Cr-B-C system. This contributes to the dispersion of the boride inclusions, the average diameter of which decreases from 70 to 5 μm. In the structure of the deposited metal of the Fe-Cr-B-C system, inclusions of the complex alloyed nitrides are extricated with an average size less than 1.0 μm. As a result, the average value of microhardness increases from 700 to 900 HV. Wear resistance of the deposited metal increases by 1.5 times due to wear with the fixed and unfixed abrasive material, and by 2.0 times due to wear under impact loads.","PeriodicalId":35968,"journal":{"name":"Strojnicky Casopis","volume":"69 1","pages":"109 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48115308","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}
