Implementing Blockchain in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)-Enabled Metal Casting Divya Mobarsa, Amit Sata, Minal Shukla, Yuri Nikolaichik Applications of Blockchain Technology, 2025 One of the most popular manufacturing techniques for creating metal components in various sectors, including defence, aerospace, automotive, medicinal, and chemical, is metal casting. To achieve the intended product quality, highly stringent values should be maintained for this collection of criteria, as the quality of such parts depends on many aspects. These parameters must be properly controlled and regulated since their values vary depending on the process and part combinations. The emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has greatly advanced metal casting process monitoring and control. Cloud-based servers may be used to get and send the parameter values, and data analytics can be performed to find the crucial characteristics needed to meet the highest quality requirements. However, these developments also bring problems related to data transfer security and privacy. Therefore, this research recommends that IIoT-based metal casting processes be coupled with secure technologies like blockchain. Blockchain can increase privacy and security but its integration is very expensive. Therefore, this study proposes a hybrid system that balances better security measures and real-time data streaming. It was effectively applied to certain metal casting procedures, particularly at foundries specialising in investment casting. This framework has already undergone validation to demonstrate that blockchain can be successfully included in IIoT in metal casting, opening new opportunities for applications in various industrial processes and encouraging more research.
Technological Possibilities of Increasing the Quality and Decreasing the Cost of the Products Operating under High Loads at the Stage of Metallurgical Treatment L. V. Sudnik, F. I. Rudnitskii, K. F. Rudnitskii, Yu. A. Nikolaichik, A. L. Galinovskii, V. A. Moiseev Russian Metallurgy Metally, 2018 The influence of modification by ultradispersed materials on the structure and physicomechanical properties of alloys is considered. Nanostructured boron nitride and aluminum hydroxide monohydrate (boehmite) are chosen as modifying additions to study their influence on the structure formation in a zinc–aluminum–copper antifriction alloy. Scanning electron microscopy and electron-probe microanalysis are used to identify high-hardness phases in the alloy structure. Modifying particles are found to affect the hardness of the alloy, which increases significantly with the number of particles. The strength of the alloy depends on both the number and the size of introduced particles, and powders with small grain sizes are more effective to increase the strength of the alloy. Moreover, silicon carbide is shown to exert a stronger effect on the strength of silumins than alumina does.
