Applications of the systems theory to the designing of the sand preparation sub-system in foundry plants
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2009, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
This study provides the basic principles for designing the functional structure of manufacturing systems and their components. The analysis of functional values is applied to create the technological and manufacturing model underlying the design of the foundry equipment with machine units and materials handling systems. Quoted examples illustrate the approved procedure to be applied to control the sand preparation process in a foundry.

The article presents the identification and analysis of threats in the environment of the foundry at individual stages of the casts manufacturing process. A generalized model of the foundry was created in the system pres...
Thin Wall Austempered Ductile Iron (TWADI)
In this paper the analysis of thin walled castings made of ductile iron is considered. It is shown that thin wall austempered ductile iron can be obtained by means of short-term heat treatment of thin wall castings witho...
A study on the structure and mechanical properties of vermicular cast iron with pearlitic-ferritic matrix
The results of studies on the use of magnesium alloy in modern cored wire injection method for production of vermicular graphite cast irons were described. The injection of Mg cored wire length is a treatment method whic...
Life cycle assessment as a method of limitation of a negative environment impact of castings
Casting production constitutes environmental problems going far beyond the foundry plant area. Applying a notion of the life cycle the input (suppliers side) and output factors (clients side) can be identified. The found...
Determination of Weibull Analysis of the Hypereutectic Silumins Reliability in Failure Time Respect
The results of dynamic evaluation of the reliability of hypereutectic AlSi17Cu3NiMg silumin under the effect of symmetrical cyclic tensile-compressive stresses were presented. Studies were carried out on a normal-running...
