Quality Management of Aluminum Pistons with the Use of Quality Control Points

Abstract

The publication analyses the way of managing and improving the quality of the production process of aluminum pistons for internal combustion engines. The aim of the article is to propose a method of analysis of the effectiveness of individual control methods used in the process of controlling the aluminium piston. Thanks to the location of a control point with the highest share of product non-compliance detection in the production process, it is possible to reduce quality control points by less effective points, which will contribute to lower costs or shorten the time of production processes. In view of the increasing demands on the efficiency of the checkpoints for components in internal combustion engines, the issue is important and topical.

improving the process of achieving required microstructure and mechanical properties of 38mnvs6 steel

“…Making the right actions of enterprises in part of their sustainable development is a necessary area in pursuit of continuous improvement [3,[20][21][22]. One of the key actions of enterprises from the automotive industry is the right machining steel under to achieving its need properties.…”

A Pro-Environmental Method of Sample Size Determination to Predict the Quality Level of Products Considering Current Customers’ Expectations

“…This assessment can be done in a subjective manner by the entity applying the method (i.e., experts) [57,58]. However, in the context of determining the product quality level taking into account customers' expectations, the importance of the attributes should be determined based on customers' assessments [4][5][6]. To achieve this aim, survey research can be conducted [24,25].…”

“…Due to dynamic technological changes and a competitive environment, the development of products oriented toward customers is a growing trend in the production field [1][2][3][4]. This orientation includes customer expectations to ensure a satisfactory level of product quality.…”

“…Simultaneously, pro-environmental changes are taking place at the society level, which are mainly manifested by the use of sustainability rules. This coexistence of aspirations to achieve high quality and sustainable development appears to be a natural competitive action of any well-managed organization [4][5][6], which concerns the sustainable design of new products and improvement of the quality level of existing products [7][8][9][10][11]. This process not only results in higher satisfaction of customers and good economic results, but also, and most importantly, the effective implementation of sustainable development [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Improving Quality Control of Siluminial Castings Used in the Automotive Industry

“…Equal research is currently being carried out on the quality of reciprocating silumin products, including, for example, the improvement of the structure and properties of the material [10][11][12][13], impact of manufacturing technology on the properties of castings [14][15][16][17], evaluation of the dimensional stability of the product [18] or the tribological behavior of the piston alloy [19]. Despite attempts to improve the structure of properties of silumin castings, attention should also be paid to quality control of these castings [6,20].…”
