An evaluation of combustion kinetics for the synthesis reaction of the reinforcing phase during casting
(AGH University of Science and Technology Press, 2020) Wiktor, Tomasz; Sobula, Sebastian; Burbelko, Andriy A.; Ptasznik, Michał
The computer modeling of the solidification process in castings with local composite reinforcement (LCR) obtained as a result of in situ reactions of self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) is difficult due to limited data on the thermo-physical parameters of exothermic effects and the kinetics of the synthesis reaction. In the present study, Hadfield cast steel casting was manufactured with LCR containing titanium carbide particles obtained in situ by the SHS method. Reaction kinetics of titanium carbide synthesis in the composite casting were determined on the basis of temperature measurements in the area of LCR during the process. For the estimation of the reaction, the Fourier Thermal Analysis method was used. The paper presents the results of temperature measurement and the results of the calculation of SHS reaction kinetics. It was found that the reaction time under the conditions of the analyzed casting is below 3 s.

Computer modeling for the visualization and geometric reconstruction of artefacts from the casting workshop in Grzybiany
(2015) Garbacz-Klempka, Aldona; Rzadkosz, Stanisław; Stolarczyk, Tomasz; Kozana, Janusz; Piękoś, Marcin; Kwak, Zofia; Tenerowicz, Mieszko
The casting workshop in Grzybiany is one of the most important archaeological sites in regards to casting technology from the Bronze and Early Iron Ages. During the 'Grzybiany. Osada nadjeziorna z epoki brązu i żelaza' [Grzybiany. Lakeside settlement from the Bronze and Early Iron Ages] research, the structure of casting moulds was analyzed as well as the chemical composition and microstructure of one of the more-interesting metal artefacts found within the workshop. Based on this, geometric visualization was performed with the help of computer-modeling methods. For scientific, experimental, and educational purposes, reconstruction of a zoomorphic pendant was performed using the lost-wax method. Wax models injected into a matrix were used, along with fired ceramic (gypsum) moulds and a specially prepared modeling alloy that corresponds to the original material. In this way, a true replica of the original was obtained: technologically, structurally and chemically. Studies of production technology of the casting workshop dated back to the Bronze and Early Iron Age help to increase the knowledge of the mould-preparing technology and the alloys used. Modern tools and computer programs aid in the research of old technologies and help disseminate the results.

Numerical analysis of the impact of conical diffuser geometry change on velocity distribution in its outlet cross-section
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Prync-Skotniczny, Krystyna
Paper presents the results of numerical calculations of air flow through a conical diffuser with divergence angle 2alpha = 70 degrees and aspect ratio L/w = 0.82. Constructional changes were introduced into the diffuser in order to obtain a uniform velocity distribution in the outlet cross-section as well as to lower the pressure drop caused by the air flow. The changes consisted in installing two or three coaxial conical flow guides inside the diffuser. Three diffuser inlet velocities were investigated: 5.6 m/s, 6 m/s and 25 m/s. Computer modelling analyses were made using commercial ANSYS software. Calculation results were verified by comparison with laboratory experiment results carried out for the inlet velocity of 5.6 m/s and for two diffuser constructions - without any flow guides and with two conical flow guides installed.

Reverse Engineering and Computer Modelling in Archaeometallurgy for the Reconstruction of Heritage Objects Using Precision Casting and 3D Printing
(AGH University Press, 2025) Marlicka, Karolina; Fijołek, Andrzej; Garbacz-Klempka, Aldona; Piękoś, Marcin
This article presents an interdisciplinary approach to the reconstruction of a copper-alloy artefact using reverse engineering techniques combined with modern digital and manufacturing technologies. The research was motivated by the need to better understand historical casting techniques while preserving the integrity of cultural heritage objects through non-destructive methods. The study integrates 3D scanning, CAD-based modelling, numerical simulations, investment casting, and metal additive manufacturing. The geometry of the artefact was captured using high-resolution 3D scanning, enabling the development of two CAD models: one representing the preserved state of the object and a second reconstructed model with the missing fragment digitally restored. Both models were used for numerical simulations of mould filling, solidification, cooling, and porosity formation performed in MAGMASOFT® 6.1, allowing the assessment of technological feasibility and defect formation. Based on the simulation results, physical replicas were produced using investment casting and selective laser melting. The obtained numerical and experimental results were compared in terms of geometry reproduction, surface characteristics, and predicted versus observed casting behaviour. The study demonstrates that the combination of digital reconstruction, simulation tools, and experimental manufacturing provides a reliable framework for analysing historical metallurgical processes. The proposed methodology supports both scientific interpretation and the practical reconstruction of heritage objects and can be applied to a wide range of archaeometallurgical studies.

Wybrane problemy magnetotellurycznych i grawimetrycznych badań strukturalnych we wschodniej części polskich Karpat
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Stefaniuk, Michał; Ostrowski, Cezary; Targosz, Paweł; Wojdyła, Marek
Selected results of recent magnetotelluric and gravity investigations made in eastern part of the Polish Carpathians were presented in the paper. Results of regional magnetotelluric survey made along two profiles: Maniów - Przemyśl and Radoszyce - Przemyśl were reinterpreted with the use of state-of-the-art 1D and 2D inversion procedures. The accuracy of the evaluation of a depth of interpreted resistivity boundaries was analysed in the framework of interpretation works. Resistivity cross-sections including main interpreted lithological boundaries and tectonic zones were made. Geological models along profiles: Szczawne - Kuźmina and Jaśliska - Brzozów were verified with the use of gravity force modelling. Correlation dependences between average velocities of seismic wave and values of residual anomalies of gravity force were evaluated. Regional maps of average velocities were constructed based on obtained regression equations.
