Purpose: The purpose of this article is discussing the methods of determining the surface roughness of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy obtained after longitudinal turning. The method of determining the mathematical model used for determining the Rz roughness parameter and then the results obtained were compared with values measured and calculated on the basis of equations available in the literature. Design/methodology/approach: The mathematical model in the form of multiple regression function of exponential polynomial was determined using the algorithm of the acceptance and rejection method. The data for calculations was obtained by measuring the surface roughness after turning with different machining parameter values. Findings: A mathematical model was elaborated in the form of a multiple regression function, enabling calculation of the Rz parameter describing the Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy surface roughness after longitudinal turning. The verification of the dependence obtained confirmed its accuracy. Research limitations/implications: Further research should encompass other values of machining plate geometry, as well as other types of cooling and lubricating fluids and method of applying them. Practical implications: The mathematical model can be helpful when choosing the conditions in which the turning process will be carried out. It also constitutes a basis for further optimisation of that process. Originality/value: The results of this research are a novelty on a worldwide scale. No research of this type has been conducted with regard to analyses and optimisation of longitudinal turning of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss the method of determining the mathematical model used for calculating the amount of emulsion reaching directly the grinding zone during the hob sharpening process. Design/methodology/approach: The mathematical model, in the form of a multiple regression function, was determined based on the acceptance and rejection method. The data for the calculations was obtained by conducting numerical simulations of fluid flow in the Ansys CFX software. Findings: A mathematical model enables calculating the amount of efficient expenditure of emulsion reaching directly the zone of contact between the grinding wheel and workpiece (hob cutter rake face) at various nozzle angle settings and different nominal expenditures of emulsion. The verification of the mathematical relationship confirmed its accuracy. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on the other types of grinding process and other types of cooling and lubricating fluids. Practical implications: The mathematical model enables a selection and application in the workshop and industrial practice of various variants of emulsion supply during the grinding of hob cutter rake face. Analysis of the multiple regression equation created on the basis of the acceptance and rejection method also allows predicting changes in the analyzed numerical model. Originality/value: The literature review has shown that no research of this type has been conducted with regard to analyses and optimisation of the grinding process during hob cutter sharpening. The results of this research are a novelty on a worldwide scale.

Turning is one of the initial basic machining operation that prevails in assembly and production process. Modern techniques have been practices in rapid and eco-friendly production systems. Present study deals with the investigation of turning process on EN 18 steel which is been shown its existence in automobiles industries. Turning operation was performed using a coated tool insert with varying cutting speed (100, 125 and 150 mm/min), feed rate (0.05, 0.5, 0.15 mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.4, 0.8, 1.2 mm) at both dry and MQL conditions. The results obtained was compared to optimize the effect of minimum quality lubrication on surface roughness. Experimentally it was observed that speed of 100 m/min with combination of feed of 0.05 mm/rev and 0.4 mm depth of cut was found to be optimized for surface roughness in both the cases. The mathematical model generated for surface roughness and MRR for both dry and MQL turning models having better regression fit as it closer to 100. From ANOVA analysis feed was proved to be the highest contributing factor for surface roughness and for MRR speed is the most significant factor for both dry and MQL turning

This paper presents a model for the management of passenger service operations at airports by the estimation of a global index of the level of service. This paper presents a new approach to the scheduling of resources required to perform passenger service operations at airports. The approach takes into account the index of level of service as a quantitative indicator that can be associated with airport revenues. Taking this index into account makes it possible to create an operating schedule of desks, adapted to the intensity of checking-in passengers, and, as such, to apply dynamic process management. This offers positive aspects, particularly the possibility of improvement of service quality that directly translates into profits generated by the non-aeronautical activity of airports. When talking about level of service, there can be distinguish other important indicators that are considered very often (eg maximum queuing time, space in square meters). In this model, however, they are considered as secondary. Of course, space in square meters is important when designing a system. Here this system is already built and functioning. The concept of the model is the use of a hybrid method: computer simulation (Monte Carlo simulation) with multiple regression. This paper focuses on the presentation of a mathematical model used to determine the level of service index that provides new functionality in the current simulation model, as presented in the authors’ previous scientific publications. The mathematical model is based on a multiple regression function, taking into account the significance of individual elementary operations of passenger service at an air terminal.

The shaping process of surface texture is complicated and depends on many factors and phenomena accompanying them. This article presents the author’s test stand for the measurement of relative displacements in a tool–workpiece system during longitudinal turning. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of edge radius on the relative displacement between the tool and workpiece. The cutting process was carried out with inserts with different edge radii for X37CrMoV5-1 steel. As a result of the research, vibration charts of the tool–workpiece system were obtained. In the range of feed 0.03–0.18 mm/rev, the values of the standard deviation of relative displacements in the x-axis were obtained in the range of 0.36–0.78 μm for the insert with an edge radius of rn = 48.8 μm. As a result of the work, it was determined that for the feed value of 0.12 mm/rev for all inserts, the relative displacements are the smallest. As the final effect, the formula for forecasting the Ra roughness parameter was presented.

Microbial adhesion to intraoral biomaterials is associated with surface roughness. For the prevention of oral pathologies, smooth surfaces with little biofilm formation are required. Ideally, appropriate roughness parameters make microbial adhesion predictable. Although a multitude of parameters are available, surface roughness is commonly described by the arithmetical mean roughness value (Ra). The present study investigates whether Ra is the most appropriate roughness parameter in terms of prediction for microbial adhesion to dental biomaterials. After four surface roughness modifications using standardized polishing protocols, zirconia, polymethylmethacrylate, polyetheretherketone, and titanium alloy specimens were characterized by Ra as well as 17 other parameters using confocal microscopy. Specimens of the tested materials were colonized by C. albicans or S. sanguinis for 2 h; the adhesion was measured via luminescence assays and correlated with the roughness parameters. The adhesion of C. albicans showed a tendency to increase with increasing the surface roughness—the adhesion of S. sanguinis showed no such tendency. Although Sa, that is, the arithmetical mean deviation of surface roughness, and Rdc, that is, the profile section height between two material ratios, showed higher correlations with the microbial adhesion than Ra, these differences were not significant. Within the limitations of this in-vitro study, we conclude that Ra is a sufficient roughness parameter in terms of prediction for initial microbial adhesion to dental biomaterials with polished surfaces.

Frequently, on the drawings of mechanical parts, only indications concerning the surface roughness parameter Ra and, relatively rarely, the surface roughness parameter Rz are included. However, the study of the machined surface roughness highlights the necessity to use yet other surface roughness parameters, in order to have a clearer image on the state of the machined surface. Some other surface roughness parameters possible to be used and presenting importance, without the parameters Ra and Rz, were highlighted. One took into consideration the possibility of measuring parameters Rsk and Rmr by means of the available surface roughness testers. Experimental researches of turning by applying the method of full factorial experiment were developed. As input factors in turning process, the cutting speed, the feed rate and the tool nose radius were used. The experimental results were mathematically processed, being determined empirical mathematical models that highlight the influence of certain input factors of turning process on the values of some surface roughness parameters characterized by a more restricted use

Lapping is a finishing process where loose abrasive grains contained in a slurry are pressed against a workpiece to reduce its surface roughness. To perform a lapping operation, the user needs to set the values of the respective lapping conditions (e.g., pressure, depth of cut, the rotational speed of the pressing lap plate, and alike) based on some material properties of the workpiece, abrasive grains, and slurry, as well as on the desired surface roughness. Therefore, a mathematical model is needed that establishes the relationships among the abovementioned parameters. The mathematical model can be used to develop a lapping operation optimization system, as well. To this date, such a model and system are not available mainly because the relationships among lapping conditions, material properties of abrasive grains and slurry, and surface roughness are difficult to establish. This study solves this problem. It presents a mathematical model establishing the required relationships. It also presents a system developed based on the mathematical model. In addition, the efficacy of the system is also shown using a case study. This study thus helps systematize lapping operations in regard to real-world applications.

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of cutting regime parameters in case of dry turning of an aluminum alloy. For turning process of the aluminum alloy was used Sandvik insert DCGX 11 T3 08 Al H10. The influence of the main cutting parameters on the surface quality was analyzed using a statistical method (ANOVA) used to test differences between two or more means. Based on a mathematical model can be calculated the surface roughness taking into account the cutting speed, the feed rate and the depth of cutting.
