INFLUENCE OF SLUDGE ON MICROBIAL CONTENTS AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES IN THE RHIZOSPHERE OF SPRING WHEAT (TRITICUM VULGARE)

Abdorhim H., Khalif A.A., Bayoumi Hamuda H.E.A.F., Heltai Gy., Kecskés M.

Abstract: In greenhouse, plants were grown for 50 days in pots containing meadow chernozem soil were treated with different sludge rates 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% sludge (w/w). The results show that the max. plant relative dry weight was laid between 40 and 80%, and for S/R ratio was max. at 70%. The microbial populations and the activities of enzymes at all concentrations increased significantly with increasing the treatments of soil by sludge. Although differences from control (only soil) were statistically significant (P <0.05) by increasing the level of application over 30%. High significant differences were found between 70 and 80% sludge contained-soil, where microbiologically, maximum enumerations were increased significantly by increasing the dose of sludge. The ratio between the Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria in the rhizosphere of spring wheat was 2.3. It is concluded that the positive effects of sludge when used as organic fertilizer are more than the its negative effects. However, one of the main problem remains is the final recommendation and model to used such environmental waste materials in the agriculture avoiding the overgrowth of heavy metals in soil and crops.

BUSINESS PROCESS REENGINEERING IN SMALL COMPANIES

Prof. Ioan ABRUDAN, PhD Eng., Ec.; Assist. Prof. Gabriela LOBONŢIU, Dipl. Eng.

Abstract: Business process reengineering (BPR) has been widely applied in many enterprises. However, most
cases have targeted large enterprises. In many countries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have
played an extremely important role in economic growth. The question of whether those SMEs can successfully implement BPR in order to strengthen their management structure is an important issue. Existing methodologies mainly assume a large organization setting with large-scale resources dedicated to bringing about the large-scale reengineering changes. The paucity of studies in SMEs is surprising given the current and anticipated future market challenges in the SME environment that increase pressure for organizational realignment and responsiveness and market agility.

FARMING ON THE PLAINS REGION OF TRANSCARPATHIA

Dr. Sándor Almásy

Abstract: The laws of the Ukraine allow individual farming, based on the private property of land. At present
there are 1,157 smallholders involved in individual farming on the plains region of Transcarpathia, an area
populated primarily by ethnic Hungarians. The restricted size of lands 7,9 hectares on the average, does not
make it possible to achive high efficiency rates. The majority of the farms work for the direct needs of the family, and only the surplus is marketed. It is expected that farms that are unable to survive shall be eliminated, and the ownership of land shall be concentrated in a small number of wealthier farms. It is also expected that after the old-type cooperatives were closed down, new cooperatives, meeting the demands of a market economy, shall come into being.

INDIVIDUAL FARMING IN SZABOLCS-SZATMÁR-BEREG COUNTY (HUNGARY)

Sándor Almásy Jr.

Abstract: Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County in the Northern Plains Region of Hungary has unfavourable
agricultural potentials (soil quality etc.). It determines the overwhelming proportion of individual farms in
agricultural production (78,45 as opposed to the national average of 56,2%). Out of the 99,000 individual farms only 448 cultivates more than hectares of land, whereas the cultivated area does not exceed 1 hectare at 64,000 farms. Mechanization of the small farms is extremely low: they have 10,000 tractors and about 50 combines. The use of fertilizers is also very low. Fewer than 6,000 of the farmers have advanced qualifications, and 66,000 smallholders only have elementary education. This level of qualifications does not ensure efficient agricultural production. A furtjher reduction of the size of the cultivated land in the county is envisaged. It raises the issue of forwarding support to the population of villages from social funds.

INCREASING THE INTELLIGENCE OF ROBOTISED ASSEMBLY

ALPEK Ferenc & PÁL Jenő

Abstract: The assembly automation help to increase the reliability of the operations and they help to reduce the costs in the small and medium size production. During automation the mechanical peripheries must be operated automatically without human help, collaboration and inspection. It means, these equipments have to have pneumatic or hydraulic or electric drives, PLC or other advanced control units and monitoring systems, which are the intelligent components of the assembly. During assembly we need a lot of intelligent mechanical peripheries, which are able to realise the operations. The authors give a short overview about their activity in the field of robotised assembly focused on the sensor based intelligence of mechanical robot peripheries.

Prof.Dr.Eng. Mircea BEJAN, Assoc.Prof.Dr.Eng. Nicolae BAL, Assoc.Prof.Dr.Eng. Radu MUREŞAN, Assistant Eng. Mircea ISTRATE

Abstract: Cylindrical shells forming pressure vessels are realized by heat drawing. In many cases after this process occurs deviation of planarity. These departures are muffled by shell forcing to the given shares, by
clamping with fixing rods and welding of smoke piping angered at specifically shares. This technology instills
supplementary stresses in the cylindrical shells and smoke piping. Therefore, the clamping rods influences the stresses and strains state in the adjacent areas of clamping, recommending the avoiding of the high values of obtained stresses. For the removal the clamping rods and this technology, it proposed that the smoke piping to be angered at size highest projected dimensions and to be worked at technological final size after the welding in the back cylindrical shall.

DEVELOPMENT AND TRIBOLOGY OF RECIPROCATING HYDRAULIC SEALS

Dr. Sándor, Bisztray Balku

Abstract: The development of reciprocating hydraulic seals radically decreased the efficiency and
immensely reduced the seal housing volumes and also the overall economy of high pressure hydraulic
drives. To reveal tribological behaviour of reciprocating seals it is necessary to analyse the relationships
of seal design, tribological features and the main operating characteristics. For environmental protection leakage control has great importance. Leakage calculation of reciprocating high pressure hydraulic seals is
based on the sealing pressure distribution profiles, i.e. diagrams which are playing an important role in
research and development of piston and piston rod seals too.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION WITH HEAVY METALS

Mariana DOBRA, Vasile VIMAN

Abstract: The estimation of the pollution level and of the dangers presented by this phenomenon, implies some analyses in which the concentrations of heavy pollutant metals should be determined in samples of
dusts from the air, samples of soil and plants. The analytical techniques used must have low detection limits, the lowest matrix effects possible and they must allow the determination, as precise as possible, of the major
components as well as of the minor ones and in traces [6,7]. The methods that respond to these requirements are from the category of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The area in which the researches were done is characterized by the existence of some industrial units of extraction of some ores which contain as major components Pb, Cu, Zn and as minor components or in traces Cr, Mn, Ni, Co, Ag, Au, Al, Fe.
The presence of these metals in the air, water and soil has negative effects on human health, plants and animals. This study analyzes these aspects in a zone of Romania strongly polluted with heavy metals.

Abstract: The antibacterial effect of Ag, Hg, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mo, Mn, Pb, Zn and Se mineral salts and two fungicides Cineb and Mancozeb were investigated on Sinorhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii, R. leguminosarum bv. phaseoli, R. leguminosarum bv. viciae, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Bradyrhizobium sp. (Acacia) and Escherichia coli strains with brothdilution method. The strains showed different sensitivity to inorganic and organic metal salts. All strains were sensitive to toxic effect of Ag and Hg metal salts, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were 2-20 μM. In contrast all strains showed high level resistance to Se, Fe, Mn, Pb salts and Cineb (MIC > 1000 μM). The toxic effect of metal salts alone better-inhibited growth of bacterial strains in vitro than double or triple combinations of metal salts. In the presence of 10 μM Fe2+ or 10 μM Fe2+ plus 1 μM Mo6+ and Mg2+ (30 or 50 μM) ions decreased the antibacterial effects Co2+, Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and two fungicides (Cineb and Mancozeb) on the E. coli, Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium strains.

DETERMINATION OF THE THERMAL GRADIENT INSIDE THE “POCKET” OF LUBRICANT FOR THE CONE DOUBLE ENVELOPING WORM GEAR

Lecturer, dr. Cristian FEDORCIUC – ONIŞA, dr. Mykola DŽUBINSKÝ

Abstract: The double enveloping worm gear features itself through double enveloping aspect as well
as the double contact during running. There is always o contact line and a contact curve simultaneously.
Between them a cavity is formed (so called “pocket”) in which the lubricant is kept under pressure and hence the high load capacity of this gear under good running conditions is assured.
Due to variation of the worm geometry, the “pocket” of lubricant changes its shape and thickness along
the meshing area. The contact conditions, like normal relative curvature, instantaneous contact force, change as well. Consequently, the gradient of instantaneous lubricant temperature inside “pocket” will vary.
The present paper focuses the tribologic study of Cone double enveloping worm gear towards
determination of the thermal gradient inside the pocket” lubricant by involving the TEHD lubrication’s
equations, solving them in an original manner and establishing this variation along the meshing area.

Abstract: In the paper is presented the importance of computer design and management in early phases of a
product development. In the design process of any product, the analysis and identification of the requirements, the search for solutions, the analysis and decision of the solutions variants are very important, mostly in the early design phases, when a product needs tasks clarification, understanding of the concept and embodiment design.
The whole course and main characteristics of the resulted product development project are determined by these tasks. The work and costs for design changes increase during the progress of a product development project, but in the concept phase when the decisions for the solutions are taken, are much lower. In order to make decisions between different solution variants in an early stage of a project, it is necessary to have access to relevant informations about the viable solutions.

Abstract: The four – stage sequential extraction procedure, proposed by the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR), has applied for distribution of manganese in a fine fly ash (CTA – FFA – 1). The concentration of Mn in the solutions after extraction was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The fraction of Mn were defined: (1) – acid soluble (e.g. carbonates); (2) – reducible (e.g. Fe / Mn oxides); (3) – oxidisable (e.g. organic matter); (4) – residual. On the base of results was investigated the partitioning of Mn between the individual fractions in the research material. The verification of the analytical results of the determination of Mn was carried out.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the spontaneously formated vegetation on the heavy metal concentration of a leather factory sewage sludge. The site of our investigatin consists of three staightly-connected sludge settling pounds. The main pollutant substance of the sludge is the chromium originated from the leather manufacturing process. The average total chromium concentration of the sludge was 30.000 ppm at the begining of our investigation. But the amount of the extremly toxicant chromium (VI) form was only 150 ppm, fortunately. In 1998, when the activity of the factory ended the three pounds has been overgrowen spontaneously by various plants. In 2001 we managed to identified 42 different plant specieses. The three most dominant specieses were the reed (Phragmites australis), the bulrush (Typha angustifolia) and the orach (Atriplex hastrata).

DETECTION AND ENUMERATION OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES AND FLUORESCENT PSEUDOMONADS POPULATION IN THE RHIZOSPHERE OF WHITE CLOVER DUE TO SALINITY

Khalif A.A., Abdorhim H., Bayoumi Hamuda H.E.A.F., Kecskés M.

Abstract: In the greenhouse, Trifolium repens was grown in an agroecosystem using acidic brown forest soil treated with different NaCl doses. In vitro, different techniques were used for counting fluorescent pseudomonads, as well as the measurement of enzymatic activities. The result indicates that the population density of fluorescent pseudomonads in the rhizosphere was directly affected by the degree of salinity. The population was maximum at 0.2% comparing with other saline treatments. Strains of Pseudomonas putida and P. fluorescens were the most dominant fluorescent pseudomonads at this concentration. It was found that the NaCl tolerated strains of the fluorescent pseudomonads have high survival and root colonizing activity in the rhizosphere, especially in NaCl high treated soil. The addition of NaCl successfully increased the activities of dehydrogenase, catalase and urease between 0.2 – 0.4%, while for protease, it was laid between 0.1 – 0.2% NaCl. The activities of phosphatase and β-glucosidase were lower than the control by increasing NaCl concentrations.

INVESTIGATIONS OF SEIZURE AND SCUFFING OF MACHINE PARTS

Mihály, Kozma; Péter, Bollók,

Abstract: The usual failures of heavy loaded metallic sliding surfaces are scuffing, seizure etc. Many of these
processes can be originated from adhesive bounds formed between the contacting peaks of rough sliding
surfaces. The surfaces have to be prevented from these failures, by hindering the adhesive bounds. Presented
paper submits the results of investigations, aims of which were to determine the reasons of surface damages of rubbing pairs. Laboratory experiments were made on steel ball/steel disk sliding pairs under heavy load. During the tests the friction force and load were measured, after that, the form and size of the wear marks and the condition of the worn surfaces were investigated. The results of the experiments demonstrate the differences of the tests performed by lubrication and without lubrication.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN IN A NUTSHELL

Zoltán Károsi

Abstract: In Eastern Europe design as a new discipline is dismissed by some as something unnecessary, marvelled by others as something magical or is simply considered as the battering ram of the philosophy of consumer society. All these views arise from either not knowing the subject matter or from misunderstanding it. In this paper we shall attempt to show the process during which design became an organic part of life in the developed world and contributed extensively to the change in the quality of life, which makes its existence and function unquestionable nowadays. How does design work and affect us? Why is its role growing constantly and irresistibly both in technology and in our everyday routines?

METHOD TO STUDY THE MICROBIAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE INOCULATED MICROSYMBIONTS AND THE INDIGENOUS MICROBES IN THE RHIZOSPHERE

KÖVES-PÉCHY, K., BIRÓ, B., VÖRÖS I., STRASSER, R.J.

Abstract: Three-substrate microcosm method was used to study the microbial interactions in the rhizosphere of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) grown in a loamy chernozem control soil. The effect of some beneficial microsymbionts, such as the nitrogen-fixing associative Azospirillum (A. brasilense-S) and root-nodulating Rhizobium (R. meliloti-R) bacteria and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus fasciculatum-M) were also assessed as single- (M), dual- (MR, MS) or tripartite mycorrhizal co-inoculations (MRS). Beside the unsterilised, control soil (including the normal rhizosphere community-C), there were other substrates used, such as the b/ gamma-sterilised soil (G) and c/ bacterial reincubated mycorrhiza-free soil (GB). In these substrates the single-, dual- or tripartite inoculation of the diazotrophs were used, so as to get data about their interactions with the indigenous AM fungal populations.
Beside the mass production, nodule-number, and mycorrhizal colonisation was recorded.
In the gamma-sterilised soil, without the interacting microbial parameters in the rhizosphere, all of the mono-
(M) or multilevel (MR, MS, MRS) microbial combinations were effective for improving either plant development or the rhizosphere-colonizations. The tripartite inoculation (MRS) of microsymbionts further
enhanced the tested parameters, causing a synergistic effect in the gamma-sterilised soils. In the mycorrhiza-
free, but bacterial re-inoculated substrate, however no further improvement could be realised, suggesting the importance of AM fungal colonisations in the mycorhizosphere. Among the dual inoculations the less
compatibility was found between the applied Rhizobium and mycorrhizal strain (MR), while the opposite
happened between the nitrogen-fixers in the unsterilized control soil (RS). The microcosm method, used in this study offers an appropriate tool to evaluate the specific relationships and the functional compatibility between the microbial inocula and the host-plants in the various soil-plant systems.

THE EUROPEAN UNION’S NUCLEAR POLICY AND THE APPLICANT COUNTRIES ENERGETIC STRATEGY

Emil Micu

Abstract: The nuclear power plays a crucial role in combating global warming, emits no greenhouse or acid
rain gases and decreases the energy external dependence. Nevertheless, the European Commission considers the future of nuclear energy in Europe uncertain, because it depends not only on energy demand and environmental issues but also on nuclear reactor’s safety and waste problem. The most EU countries have imposed legal or policy restrictions on building nuclear power plants, some of them have made decisions to phase out the use of nuclear power. On the contrary, the EU applicant countries, with low per-capita energy consumption, rely their sustainable development of energetic sector on nuclear power.

THE STUDY OF THE STRUCTURAL MODIFICATION OF THE TEMPERED HEAVY ALLOYS BASED TUNGSTEN PLASTICAL DEFORMED

Radu MUREŞAN, Mircea BEJAN, Nicolae BAL, Codruţa PAVEL

Abstract: The alloy is characterized by a complex multiphasical structure. The structure of the W-Ni-Fe alloy
consists from a refractory phase of the solid solution rich in tungsten and a binder phase, easy inflammable,
formed by the solid solution of tungsten and iron in nickel, hardened through dispersion. The behavior of the
heavy alloy at plastically deformation and tempering will be determined by the crystalline nature of the phases, by their interaction and by the role of the interphasical limits which are formed at hardening. The aim of this paper is the study of the structural modification of the binder from the easy inflammable phase of the deformed alloy W-Ni-Fe.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT HEAVY METAL SALTS ON THE GROWTH OF PRE-SELECTED PGPR BACTERIAL STRAINS

Bálint Oldal, István Jevcsák, H.E.A.F. Bayoumi Hamuda, Mihály Kecskés

Abstract: The effects of different heavy metal pollutants were studied on some selected bacteria isolated from Tisza River, its catch basin and the Westsik’s long-term crop rotation experiment on sandy soil (Nyíregyháza, Hungary). Several representatives of bacteria (Aeromonas, Arthrobacter, Acinetobacter, Cytophaga, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Micrococcus, Paracoccus, Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus, Rahnella Stenofrophomonas, Streptomyces and Shewanella) were identified. 13 strains were selected for further investigations, based on their plant growth promoting activity (OLDAL et al., 2001).
Sensitivity tests against different heavy metal compounds were carried out with the use of the following
chemicals at different concentrations: ZnCl2, Zn(NO3)2, CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4, Pb(NO3)2, (NH4)6Mo7O24, Fe(III)Cl3, Fe(II)SO4, Fe(III)(NO3)3. Among the investigated plant growth promoting bacteria, 7 strains proved to have a significant resistance against the heavy metal compounds compared to the other strains: Aeromonas media W.1, Pseudomonas veronii W.7, Pasteurella sp. W.30, Pseudomonas sp. W.36, Bacillus thüringiensis C.69, and III.118, III.119; those total mean sensitivity did not show a statistically reliable difference. The
inhibitory effect of heavy metal compounds on the bacterial growth is further displayed.

DIFFERENTIAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE SELECTIVE TOXICITY OF A PENTAPEPTIDE DERIVATIVE TO SUNFLOWER DOWNY MILDEW PATHOGEN

G. Oros and R. J. Nachman

Abstract: The activity of 2-Amino-7-fluorenyl-succinamoyl-FTPRL-NH2 (PPD) against sunflower downy mildew pathogen was investigated with special regard to host independent ontogenetic stages. The size of the cells as well as she presence and structure of the cell wall apparently influenced the performance of PPD activity as the fungus showed a marked developmental stage dependent response to it: the cell-walled zoosporangia were more tolerant (MIC>1μM) than the zoospores (MIC<1μM), while the smallest cytospores MIC values were 0.03 μM. The early stages of zoosporogenesis were inhibited suggesting that PPD permeates the cell wall of zoosporangia. Functions regulating plasmalemma semipermeability were less sensitive (MIC≈1 μM) than the motility apparatus (MIC≈0.1 μM) of zoospores to PPD and Cu2+ ions. These cells reacted rapidly, as the first observable changes occurred within 5-10 seconds after contact with the compound asserting a target site in the cell membrane. The inhibitory effect was manifested at the nanomolar level, indicating a highly specific binding affinity to the target site and highlighting the importance of the inhibited function for normal operation of the cell membrane.
The overall lesson of our experiment is that the combination of microchemical methods with micro-techniques in screening lead to valuable toxicological data on the membrane-function disturbing activity of synthetic peptide analogues.

METHOD AND NEW DEVICE FOR ELLIPSOID WORM GEAR MANUFACTURING ON THE TURNING

PÁY Gábor László, RAVAI NAGY Sándor

Abstract: The internal worm gear pairs are special ones, which are composed by a helical worm and an internal teeth worm wheel. The base of these researches is a patent for internal teeth gears manufacturing by a helical worm hob. The geometrical and kinematics problems were so great and this idea was abandoned. In the case of internal worm gear pairs, when the internal teeth worm wheel are manufactured by a worm hob with same geometrical parameters like the helical worm the manufacturing not represent a difficult problem.
The paper presents a new manufacturing method, by turning, which is better then by hobbing, because
in this case we can achieve any module and basic diameter without problems. The method is lower, but is
economically and more simple.

Abstract: Combating computer pests, which can open back doors into networks, thus endangering the integrity of confidential information, is becoming increasingly important. Corporations should update their IT security policies to require that measures be taken against computer pests, including regular scanning and removal.
Good pest control software will search for a wide range of malicious non-viral software and help create
evidence documenting the effectiveness of your computer pest management program.
When we say that the web experience is inhuman, we mean not only that computer systems fall far short of
achieving human intelligence. We also mean that they, and the websites they support, fall short of treating
people as people. Humanity includes aiming to please and catering to human needs. The web treats us in the

NEW MACHINERY FOR POPPING SMALL SEEDS

László Sikolya

Abstract: Amaranth is a pseudo-cereal, distinct from wheat and maize. Domesticated amaranth is used as leafy vegetables, seeds, forage and ornament. Amaranth grain has protein that is high in lysine, which is usually lacking in cereals.
Amaranth grain can be put to many uses: it can be ground, parched, roasted and popped. There is little
gluten in amaranth flour; therefore it’s ideal for those, who suffer from flour allergy. We can bake breads
containing 18% amaranth flour. Baked in automatic ovens they suit Hungarian taste. Our objective is to increase the choice of milling industry products. Quality products need new technology or the adjustment of the existing equipment.
The technology process needs an all-round mechanization. Our tests have been conducted at the Agricultural
Machinery Department of the Nyíregyháza College. We tested a new popping procedure and we developed a new machine for amaranth popping. Our results are good, we managed to produce quality popped amaranth, which can be used as a basic food for other food industry products. The popped amaranth is used in breads,
confectionery products, healthy food. New tinned and food industry products are being developed (e.g. infant
foods).
Our successful tests involve the whole technology process and machinery, a reference plot, the processing of
amaranth grain, tests of the nutritional values of amaranth, new healthy food products (bakery goods,
confectionery products, infant foods).

DETERMINATION OF HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE PERFORMANCE IN YAW BY USE OF SIMPLIFIED VORTEX THEORY

Piotr Strzelczyk, PhD Eng.

Abstract: The paper presents an application of non-iterative lifting line theory of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine(HAWT) to determination of HAWT’s performance. The presented model is developed on the basis of modified Witoszyński’s propeller theory presented in [4] . In this model an iterative determination of induced velocity field is avoided thanks to solution method similar to as in Witoszyński’s propeller theory. The Goldstein kappa factor or Prandtl tip loss factor are introduced to the equations of momentum and angular momentum for ideal HAWT. Ideal axial force (thrust) and ideal torque are determined using blade element method (BEM) (profile losses are neglected). This values of thrust and torque are compared to those obtained from momentum and torque equation. Thanks to approximation of lift force coefficient vs. angle of attack by sine curve one may obtain a quadratic equation for axial velocity component An extended version of the model including nonuniform inflow is presented. In the theory a quasi-steady approach to blade element characteristics was applied. The calculations are compared with experimental data obtained at Risφ 100 kW test turbine. Presented results show that, the method described in the paper underestimates performance for low speed winds, whereas for strong winds the power output is slightly overestimated.

THE EXAMINATION FO PENETRATION VALUES FOR CLAY SOILS, AND THEIR CONVERSION INTO AN IDENTICAL HUMIDTY LEVEL

István Szőllősi Ph.D candidate, Zoltán Kovács Ph.D candidate

Abstract: Soil resistance is measured by penetrometer, which is one of the commonest ways of examining
changes in the physical state of the soil in space and time, the position of the compacted soil layers. However,
examining the effect of cultivation we conclude from the soil resistance into soil compactness, it is indispentable to know the humidity values of the soil. In Hungarian practice comparing various treatment, the nearly equal soil humidity values are compared, therefore a part of values is lost for evaluation. A new method to overcome this problem was invented, when the soil resistance values at various soil humidity are converted into the ones at identical humidity values.

THE PROFESSIONAL FORMATION OF SPECIALISTS FOR THE FABRICATION OF GEAR WHEELS BY MEANS OF EXEPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Lecturer Dr.Eng. Vasile Ţiplea

Abstract: This paper presents the processing procedure of gear wheels by means of wheel-tool mortising
within the Machine-Line-up-Tool-Part “MLTP” system. In order to avoid the complex calculations requested by the fabrication of gear wheels I have set up a model of experimental research that allows the specialist to use a measuring chain of geometrical parameters with the help of competitive machinery.
Thus, the results of experimental research performed on a lot of 2000 gear wheels are being presented. This
is done by using different cutting modes: Cs, Cf (Cs – cutting speed, m/min., Cf – circular feed, mm/cd, dc –
double course per minute).
These results have led to establishing an optimal cutting mode Cs, Cf on the basis of the parameters that
have been taken into consideration.
The paper is as a pattern in the determining process of other important geometrical parameters of gear
wheels such as: toothing radial clatter, the above “n’ quota, “tn” – teeth number, the width between centres, the flank and profile toothing roughness.
