This paper presents an effectiveness analysis of the grinding process with the use of a new multi-layer abrasive tool. The designed abrasive tool consists of external layers with a conventional structure, whose task is to decrease the grinding wheel load and ensure high grinding volumetric efficiency. The inner layer of the grinding wheel contains a 30% addition of abrasive aggregates. The task of the inner layer is to provide lower roughness of the machined surface. The aim of the research presented in this paper was to evaluate the topography of the designed abrasive tool and to analyze the middle layer properties influencing the machined surface roughness. The differentiation of the active surface features of the abrasive tool was determined for the conventional layer and the layer with the addition of abrasive aggregates. The machining potential of the layers was also determined using the Shos parameter. The surface topography of Ti-6Al-4V alloys ground with the use of a multi-layer wheel and a conventional grinding wheel was analyzed. With the application of the bootstrap hypothesis, the set of roughness parameters differentiating the topography of ground surfaces was determined.

Hardfacing is a welding-related technique aimed at depositing a harder and tougher layer onto a softer, less wear-resistant substrate or base metal. This process enhances the abrasion resistance of the component, increasing its durability under working conditions. A key feature of hardfacing is dilution, which refers to the mixing of the hardfacing layer and the base metal.

Background: Today, in a wide variety of industries, grinding operations are an extremely important finishing process for obtaining precise dimensions and meeting strict requirements for roughness and shape accuracy. However, the constant wear of abrasive tools during grinding negatively affects the dimensional and surface conditions of the workpiece. Therefore, effective monitoring of the wear process during grinding operations helps to predict tool life, plan maintenance and ensure consistent product quality.

Difficult-to-cut titanium matrix composites (TMCs) are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors due to their excellent physical properties. Electrochemical mill grinding (ECMG) can achieve the processing effects of electrochemical milling and electrochemical grinding using the same tool, which has the potential to complete the rough and finish machining of TMCs in succession. However, in the rough machining stage, the bottom of the slot becomes concave due to the inevitable stray corrosion, leading to poor flatness, which increases the machining allowance for subsequent finish machining.

Article Synopsis
  • Autoerotic asphyxial deaths, primarily involving neck compression, are rare but notable, with a study analyzing 72 cases in Australia from 2000 to 2022 to understand their medical and legal implications.
  • The demographic findings highlighted a tendency for victims to be Caucasian males under 50, while the study discovered a range of injuries, including both minor and severe, alongside consistent evidence of sexual paraphernalia and isolation in these cases.
  • The researchers advocate for better categorization of autoerotic neck compression deaths to differentiate them from suicidal and homicidal cases, emphasizing the need for incorporating new variables in future investigations.

Department of Metal Forming, Welding and Metrology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wrocław, Poland.

This article presents research on advanced surface preparation methods for sintered carbides (WC-Co, grade B2) commonly used in the tool industry, particularly in the context of bonding these materials with C45 steel using adhesives. Sintered carbides are widely used due to their high hardness, wear resistance, and good ductility, making them ideal for manufacturing tools operating in harsh conditions. Traditional bonding methods, such as brazing and welding, often result in stresses and cracks.
