A Novel Objective Method for Steel Degradation Rate Evaluation.

This article introduces a novel approach for assessing microstructure, particularly its degradation after extended operation. The authors focus on creep processes in power plant components, highlighting the importance of diagnostics in this field. This article emphasizes the value of combining traditional microstructure observation techniques with image analysis.

The study of the roundness and cylindricity deviations of parts produced with the use of the additive manufacturing.

The paper is dedicated to the evaluation of the accuracy of rotary parts produced with the use of advanced manufacturing technology. The authors investigated the impact of the layer thickness of the applied material and the orientation of the model when printing using the PolyJet method™ on the geometrical quality of manufactured products. To analyze the influence of the assumed factors on the geometrical quality of the holes, a novel evaluation method has been developed.
