IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF BIMETALLIC SHEET MATERIALS

Abstract

Improving the efficiency of industrial enterprises is heavily reliant on the technologies employed in production and the practical application of the products and structures produced by the companies. The authors' research on quality control methods for manufacturing bimetallic sheet materials and technological equipment has revealed that non-destructive testing methods can significantly reduce production costs. The study identifies thermal testing as one of the most effective forms of non-destructive testing. Aim. The research aims to explore these testing methods and their cost-saving benefits within current technological procedures. Justifying the use of thermal non-destructive testing as a method for improving the quality control of bimetallic sheet materials during the manufacturing process and enhancing the efficiency of management in industrial enterprises of the relevant profile. Materials and methods. Analysis of researches in the field of technologies and methods of thermal non-destructive testing for enterprises. Results. The benefits and cost-effectiveness of using thermal non-destructive testing methods in manufacturing companies that produce products and use technological equipment with bimetallic sheet materials are demonstrated. Requirements are outlined and a quality control system structure for these materials is established based on the thermal non-destructive testing method. A mathematical model for determining the thermal state of a bimetallic plate is presented alongside the potential for its software implementation. Conclusion. The method of thermal nondestructive testing proves to be efficient and productive in modern conditions, enabling acceptable cost implementation of quality control systems in production and operation. The findings can be applied in industrial companies that work with multilayer bimetallic materials in their products and constructions.
