Surface microhardening studies on steels after high feed milling

The paper deals with the impact of high-speed machining production methods on the integrity of component surfaces. One has to point out that cutting conditions during machining have a significant impact on the final properties of surface and subsurface layers of the workpiece. The conclusion summarizes and analyzes the achieved results of experimental activities on stainless austenitic steel 1.4301, hardened tool steel 1.2343 and high-speed steel 1.3344 (ASP 2023). The results of the work experimental parts demonstrate the influence of cutting parameters on selected surface integrity ones, specifically strengthening the surface and subsurface layers. The performed experiments show that microhardness of a surface layer of the machined material can be influenced by suitable cutting conditions and other cutting process parameters.Web of Science12223022

Checking the Geometric Accuracy of a Machine Tool for Selected Geometric Parameters

This paper deals with the control parameters for selected geometric accuracy measurements for a machine tool. The parameters were needed after a refurbished milling machine was purchased. After setting up the machine, it was necessary to check the geometric accuracy that can be used for precise milling. The whole check was performed in accordance with ISO 10791. Only selected parameters of geometric accuracy were inspected, and they were later compared with the prescribed values. On the basis of a comparison of these values we were able to determine whether the machine tool can be used for accurate machining

Influence of cutting speed on intensity of the plastic deformation during hard cutting

The paper deals with an analysis of deformation processes and the aspects related to a chip formation such as the chip thickness, the chip ratio, the shear angle and the chip segmentation during turning the hardened steel 100Cr6. This paper investigates the influence of the cutting speed through a metallographic analysis, a calculation of significant aspects of deformation processes and the resulting experimental study. This experimental study is based on an application of acoustic emission. The results of this study indicate that the cutting speed significantly affects the parameters such as the chip ratio, deformation angle or the speeds in the cutting zone. On the other hand, the experimental study allows an analysis of the specific characters of deformation processes and their real intensity.Web of Science47675574

Use of Convolutional Neural Network for Fish Species Classification

Fish population monitoring systems based on underwater video recording are becoming more popular nowadays, however, manual processing and analysis of such data can be time-consuming. Therefore, by utilizing machine learning algorithms, the data can be processed more efficiently. In this research, authors investigate the possibility of convolutional neural network (CNN) implementation for fish species classification. The dataset used in this research consists of four fish species (Plectroglyphidodon dickii, Chromis chrysura, Amphiprion clarkii, and Chaetodon lunulatus), which gives a total of 12859 fish images. For the aforementioned classification algorithm, different combinations of hyperparameters were examined as well as the impact of different activation functions on the classification performance. As a result, the best CNN classification performance was achieved when Identity activation function is applied to hidden layers, RMSprop is used as a solver with a learning rate of 0.001, and a learning rate decay of 1e-5. Accordingly, the proposed CNN model is capable of performing high-quality fish species classifications

Artificial neural network for predicting values of residuary resistance per unit weight of displacement

This paper proposes the usage of an Artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the values of the residuary resistance per unit weight of displacement from the variables describing ship’s dimensions. For this purpose, a Multilayer perceptron (MLP) regressor ANN is used, with the grid search technique being applied to determine the appropriate properties of the model. After the model training, its quality is determined using R2 value and a Bland-Altman (BA) graph which shows a majority of values predicted falling within the 95% confidence interval. The best model has four hidden layers with ten, twenty, twenty and ten nodes respectively, uses a relu activation function with a constant learning rate of 0.01 and the regularization parameter L2 value of 0.001. The achieved model shows a high regression quality, lacking precision in the higher value range due to the lack of data
