Rosenhain Centenary Conference - 2. Design implications for materials selection 2.8 Weldability and toughness specifications for structural steels in Japan — with special reference to WES-155 and -156 Discussion

First of all, I should like to emphasize that WES 135 is just a material specification for quality control. So, as Burdekin (Keynote) pointed out, it does not contain any statements about the influences of real welding procedure. It goes without saying that, for application purposes, we should take account of many important factors affecting the behaviour of materials in a real structure. For example, in order to avoid weld cracking in real structures, we must have the critical cooling time determine rom weldment cracking parameter, P w , which is expressed as follows: jPcm + 60 + 40000’ where H is the concentration of diffusible hydrogen content under the welding condition used (cm 3 / 100 g) and K is the intensity of restraint of real welded joint in structure (kg-mm/mm) We compare the P w value thus obtained with the cooling time in the actual steel structure obtained from the welding procedure depending on heat input, preheating condition and p ate thickness etc. If the critical cooling time to avoid weld cracking obtained from P w is less than the cooling time obtained for real structures we do not expect weld cracking (K. Satoh, S. Natsu, et al 11W Doc. IX-834-73).

The article performed the processing of the results of a computer experiment to determine the cooling time of oil in a stopped oil pipeline. We proposed a calculation model in previous works that allows you to simulate the process of cooling oil.There was a need to verify the previously obtained results when conducting a laboratory experiment on a stand with soil. To conduct the experiment, it was necessary to conduct the planning of the experiment. The factors affecting the cooling time of oil in the oil pipeline, which will vary in the proposed experiment, are determined, empirical relationships are established. A regression analysis was carried out, and the dispersion homogeneity was checked using the Cochren criterion. The estimates of reproducibility variances are calculated. The adequacy hypothesis was tested using the Fisher criterion. Significant regression coefficients are established.

Aiming at the problem of less quality characteristics data in multi-specification and small-batch production, matter-element theory was applied to adjust similarity of factors affecting the quality during the processing, thus similar processes was divided and data shortage problem was resolved. In addition, the relative range method was applied to translate characteristics data, thus drawing the control chart to judge process control state.Through the analysis of a case,the validity of quality control method was verified in the multi-specification and small-batch production.

Background: One of the techniques used to achieve productivity, employees’ job satisfaction and higher quality goods and services, as well as to solve the problems by using a team, is the formation of quality control circles. Quality control circles enable managers to meet the organization’s and employees’ needs through making effective use of resources and facilities. On the other hand, the quality of services is always affected by uncertainty and ambiguous and implicit judgments, which make its measurement uncertain. Aim: The present study aimed to identify important factors affecting the effectiveness of quality control circles in a hospital, as well as rank them using a combination of fuzzy VIKOR and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Methodology: This was an applied, cross-sectional and descriptive–analytical study conducted in 2016. The study population consisted of five academic members and five experts in the field of nursing working in a hospital, who were selected using a purposive sampling method. Also, a sample of 107 nurses was selected through a simple random sampling method using their employee codes and the random-number table. The required data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire which consisted of 12 factors. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed through giving the opinions of experts and academic members who participated in the present study, as well as performing confirmatory factor analysis. Its reliability also was verified (α=0.796). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and LISREL 8.8, as well as VIKOR–GRA and IPA methods. Results: The results of ranking the factors affecting the effectiveness of quality control circles showed that the highest and lowest ranks were related to ‘Managers’ and supervisors’ support’ (Š = 6.80, [Formula: see text] = 0.36) and ‘Group leadership’ (Š = 2.63, [Formula: see text] = 0.98). Also, the highest hospital performance was for factors such as ‘Clear goals and objectives’ and ‘Group cohesiveness and homogeneity’, and the lowest for ‘Reward system’ and ‘Feedback system’, respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that although ‘Training the members’, ‘Using the right tools’ and ‘Reward system’ were factors that were of great importance, the organization’s performance for these factors was poor. Therefore, these factors should be paid more attention by the studied hospital managers and should be improved as soon as possible. Applying quality control circles in any organization is very helpful and provides opportunities for maximum use of employees’ creativity, initiative and skills in reaching their and their organization’s goals and objectives, and prepares favorable working conditions for the employees’ optimal performance through increasing the managers’ sense of responsibility and commitment.

The results of impact testing of welded joint specimens taken from a welded plate made of P460NL1 steel are presented in this paper, and analysed with regards to the cooling time t8/5, that was previously calculated. The aim was to determine how the cooling times that were measured, some of which were below the minimum required values, affected the toughness, in terms of total impact energy and its components, crack initiation and crack propagation energy. In addition, this analysis included the effects of temperatures measured at the opposite ends of the plate during the welding process, since this had also affected the cooling times for each welding pass. After observing the differences in total, crack initiation and propagation energy between the tested specimens taken from different parts of the welded plate, it was determined that the specimens from the part where the higher temperatures were measured had shown better, more uniform results, whereas the average total impact energy for specimens from both groups were very similar. It was also noticed that the ratio of crack propagation to crack initiation was more favourable (greater) in the case of specimens from the second group (with higher temperature), as the values of crack initiation energy decreased slightly and the crack propagation energy increased.

The paper presents a methodology for the lifetime assessment of welded polymer pipes. A fracture mechanics analysis of a butt-welded joint is performed by simulating radial crack growth in the nonhomogenous region of the pipe weld. It was found that the presence of material nonhomogeneity in the pipe weld caused by the welding procedure leads to an increase in the stress intensity factor of the radial crack and changes the usual failure mode of the pipe system. This can lead to a significant reduction in the lifetime of the pipe system.

The paper addresses the possibilities of applying the cam_gate system to product quality control. Particular attention is paid to the concept of the test stand simulating the operation of the product quality control automatic machine with the use of the CCD camera. Dimensional parameters of rollers were measured by means of a micrometer screw and the CCD camera at the simulation stand in the cam_gate system and the results of measurements were compared. The paper presents the cost system structure of an enterprises and factors affecting the selection of inspecting-sorting automatic machines in the aspect of the prescribed quality parameters which condition the optimal selection.
