This study sought to experimentally develop guidelines for shaping 0.3-mm-thick cold-rolled grain-oriented ET 110-30LS steel using a shear-slitting operation. Coated and non-coated steel was used for the analysis.

Shear cutting allows for shaping materials with any length of cutting line with high efficiency and without negative thermal effects, but it causes stresses and deformations in the cutting zone of the material. This has a negative effect on the magnetic properties of the sheet in the areas of the cut edge. The main problem on production lines is to ensure appropriate control of the process so as to obtain the appropriate technological quality of the cut edge, free of not only defects in the form of burrs and shape deviations, but also the minimum deformed zone.

The paper presents preliminary studies of a new innovative surface treatment method-the process of roller burnishing of macro-irregularities of the surface. As part of the work, the possibility of plastic shaping of the surface macrostructure with indentations (plateau structure), which will show anti-wear properties through appropriate surface shaping and the compressive stress state in the product's top layer, was investigated. The essence of the paper is the analysis of one of the aspects of the application of this processing method, i.

Background: Stress is associated with the performance of high-risk occupations. It can be defined as a set of reactions that results from mismatched working conditions and requirements to capabilities of an employee. People who differently assess these areas of work may experience varying degrees of stress.
