Some aspects regarding the static behavior of basalt in the machine building industry

Abstract

Abstract. Basalt is a material available in big quantities in nature. It has a low price and can be used in various domains. It can be relatively easily extracted from natural deposits and processed by means of melting. Melted and recrystallized basalt has demonstrated promising behavior with regards of its use in manufacturing, as reported in the literature. This work aims to present some aspects regarding the opportunity of using basalt in manufacturing the subassemblies of machine-tools. The research was made using grey cast iron and steel parts as reference for a comparative study. The researches presented in this work were focused on analyzing the behavior of basalt parts submitted to static stress. Testing methodology, specific measuring apparatus used, experimental test data records, data processing and resulting conclusions are presented in the paper.

Aspects Regarding the Cutting Capacity of Diamond Discs Used in the Flat Grinding of Hard Granite and Basalt Mineral Materials

“…The uses of granite and basalt in the machine building industry (machine tool frame, gearbox housings etc) make granite and basalt excellent replacements for solid and heavy parts that require vibration sability and high rigidity [16,17].…”

Common defects of parts manufactured through single point incremental forming

“…The aim of this paper is to investigate the behaviour of the sheet metal blank deformed through single point incremental forming process, with focus on the sheet metal bending error. Also a mathematical model is proposed in order to evaluate the maximum deviation between the CAD profile of the part and the actual profile obtained through finite element analysis method in relation to the distance between the initial contact of the tool and retaining rings [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Some aspects regarding the thermic behaviour of a basalt parts in machine building industry

“…The factorial quantitative type of experiment has been used. Planning and guidance of the experimental research as well as collection, methods and statistical processing of data have been carried out according to standards of force [6].…”
