The objective of the investigation was to identify surface roughness after turning with wedges of coated sintered carbide. The investigation included predicting the average surface roughness in the dry machining of Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) and the determination of load curves together with roughness profiles for various cutting conditions. The load curves and roughness profiles for various cutting wedges and variable cutting parameters were compared. It has been shown that dry cutting leads to a decrease in friction for lubricated surfaces, providing a small initial contact area where the surface is contacted. The study has been performed within a production facility during the production of electric motor parts and deep-well pumps.
Digitalization and sustainability are important topics for manufacturing industries as they
are affecting all parts of the production chain. Various initiatives and approaches are set
up to help companies adopt the principles of the fourth industrial revolution with respect
sustainability. Within these actions the use of modern maintenance approaches such as
Maintenance 4.0 is highlighted as one of the prevailing smart & sustainable manufacturing
topics. The goal of this paper is to describe the latest trends within the area of maintenance
management from the perspective of the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution and
the economic, environmental and social challenges of sustainable development. In this work,
intelligent and sustainable maintenance was considered in three perspectives. The first perspective
is the historical perspective, in relation to which evolution has been presented in the
approach to maintenance in accordance with the development of production engineering. The
next perspective is the development perspective, which presents historical perspectives on
maintenance data and data-driven maintenance technology. The third perspective, presents
maintenance in the context of the dimensions of sustainable development and potential opportunities
for including data-driven maintenance technology in the implementation of the
economic, environmental and social challenges of sustainable production.
