Focusing on the feature of porosity in bamboo charcoal, this study applies the ultrasonic-assisted vibration method to perform surface polishing of the silicon wafer workpiece. The self-developed bamboo charcoal polishing spindle and ultrasonic- assisted vibration mechanism are attached to a single lapping machine. In the machining process, ultrasonic vibration enables the diamond slurry to smoothly pass through the microscopic holes of bamboo charcoal; the end of the bamboo charcoalis able to continue machining on the surface of the workpiece through the grasping force which exists in the microscopic holes. Under the polishing and machining parameters of ultrasonic-assisted vibration, with a diamond slurry concentration of 0.3%, the experimental results show a polishing time of 20 min, a loading of 25 N on the workpiece surface, a spindle speed of 1200 rpm, a vibration frequency of 30 kHz and the original surface roughness value of Ra 0.252 μm equals that of a mirror-like surface at Ra 0.017 μm. These research results prove that by using bamboo charcoal and ultrasonic-assisted vibration for polishing, a very good improvement can be achieved on the workpiece surface.

BCB(Bamboo Charcoal Bonded) grinding wheel is a new kind of grinding wheel developed by bamboo charcoal-phenolic resin composite for ELID(Electrolysis In-process Dressing) grinding technique. To study the affection of the ground workpiece surface roughness and removal rate with this new kind of grinding technique, the stainless steel SUS304 was ground using BCB grinding wheel in different machining parameters with ELID grinding condition, and the machining characteristics of BCB grinding wheel has been researched. The experimental results indicated that the ground workpiece surface roughness can be reached to Ra 0.010μm, and the efficient and precision machining with BCB grinding wheel by ELID grinding technique has been achieved for hard-to-cut materials. Finally, by studying of the grinding wheel surface condition and wear, the BCB grinding wheel grinding mechanism has been preliminary discussed.

Cutting edge microgeometry has gained special attention of late in the machining research community. Machine tool vibration, tool life, and workpiece surface integrity are all influenced by cutting edge size/shape. To optimize the machining process, variable microgeometry (VMG) cutting tools, in which the edge microgeometry varies along the edgeline with respect to specific variables (such as machining parameters or expected tool wear), are manufactured. Despite the advantages of VMG tools, a major hindrance in their development is the manufacturing complexity that demands high precision multi-axis edge preparation processes following extensive machine setup, fixturing, and programming. This paper details the proof of concept of a design criterion, which leads to the manufacturing of VMG cutting tools by only traditional edge preparation processes. The present method relies on the existing relationship between the edge radius subsequent to the edge preparation process and the tool wedge angle. The validity of the proposed method is first examined by a numerical simulation of the edge preparation. Carbide cutting tool inserts are then designed based on the proposed idea. Robust VMG generation subsequent to edge preparation by microblasting is demonstrated through microgeometric measurements. VMG chemical vapor deposition-coated carbide tools manufactured by the proposed approach are evaluated for turning hardened steel, and optimal designs are identified with respect to tool life and workpiece surface roughness. To address the design consideration, finite element (FE) modeling provides valuable insight into the machining process. FE modeled stress and temperature distribution clarify the experimental observations and reveal the design constraints.

The recent scenario of modern manufacturing is tremendously improved in the sense of precision machining and abstaining from environmental pollution and hazard issues. In the present work, Ti6Al4V is machined through wire EDM (WEDM) process with powder mixed dielectric and analyzed the influence of input parameters and inherent hazard issues. WEDM has different parameters such as peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, gap voltage, wire speed, wire tension and so on, as well as dielectrics with powder mixed. These are playing an essential role in WEDM performances to improve the process efficiency by developing the surface texture, microhardness, and metal removal rate. Even though the parameter’s influencing, the study of environmental effect in the WEDM process is very essential during the machining process due to the high emission of toxic vapour by the high discharge energy. In the present study, three different dielectric fluids were used, including deionised water, kerosene, and surfactant added deionised water and analysed the data by taking one factor at a time (OFAT) approach. From this study, it is established that dielectric types and powder significantly improve performances with proper set of machining parameters and find out the risk factor associated with the PMWEDM process.

With excellent properties, high-temperature superalloys have become the main application materials for aircraft engines, gas turbines, and many other devices. However, superalloys are typically difficult to machine, especially for the thread cutting. In this article, an ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning system is proposed for thread cutting operations in superalloys. A theoretical analysis of ultrasonic vibration–assisted thread cutting is carried out. An ultrasonic vibration–assisted system was integrated into a standard lathe to demonstrate thread turning in Inconel 718 superalloy. The influence of ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining on workpiece surface quality, chip shape, and tool wear was analyzed. The relationship between machining parameters and ultrasonic vibration–assisted processing performance was also explored. By analyzing the motion relationship between tool path and workpiece surface, the reasons for improved workpiece surface quality by ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining were explained.

High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) has been known to secure high removal rates in grinding processes at high wheel speed, relatively large depth of cut and moderately high work speed. High removal rates in HEDG are associated with very efficient grinding and secure very low specific energy comparable to conventional cutting processes. Though there exist HEDG-enabled machine tools, the wide spread of HEDG has been very limited due to the requirement for the machine tool and process design to ensure workpiece surface integrity. HEDG is an aggressive machining process that requires an adequate selection of grinding parameters in order to be successful within a given machine tool and workpiece configuration. This paper presents progress made in the development of a specialised HEDG machine. Results of HEDG processes obtained from the designed machine tool are presented to illustrate achievable high specific removal rates. Specific grinding energies are shown alongside with measured contact arc temperatures. An enhanced single-pole thermocouple technique was used to measure the actual contact temperatures in deep cutting. The performance of conventional wheels is depicted together with the performance of a CBN wheel obtained from actual industrial tests.

Abstract The five-axis constrained and optimal orientation planning is formulated as a design optimization problem that incorporates the process machine’s kinematic constraints with the workpiece and tool geometry, to obtain a constrained setup orientation which exploits the maximum capabilities of existing machines. This work will introduce this problem, and will obtain the setup orientation for two different types of rotation structures, i.e., tool rotation and table rotation in O(N) time. Further, the obtained constrained setup orientation, will be augmented to incorporate the workpiece surface magnitude, along with different machine rotation structures, to obtain an optimal setup orientation for different machine rotation structures. The drilling process is also introduced and formulated as additional constraints to the optimization problem. The primary application of the introduced algorithms, is the machining process, where, they can efficiently reduce the number of tool motions and surface finishing processes. However, the solution is very suitable for many manufacturing applications, such as inspection, assembly, robotics, painting, welding, aerospace, electronic surface mount technology, and etc.

Incremental sheet metal forming, is a non-conventional machining process which offers higher formability, flexibility and low cost of production than the traditional conventional forming process. Punch or tool used in this forming process consecutively forces the sheet to deform locally and ultimately gives the target profile. Various machining parameters, such as type of tool, tool path, tool size, feed rate and mechanical properties of sheet metal, like strength co-efficient, strain hardening index and ultimate tensile strength, effects the forming process and the formability of final product. In this research paper, Single Point Incremental Forming was simulated using Dassault system’s Abaqus 6.12-1 and results are obtained. Results of sheet profile and there change in thickness is investigated. For this paper, we simulated the process in abaqus. The tool diameter and rotational speed is find out for the production of parts through incremental forming. The simulation is done for two type of material with different mechanical properties. Various research papers were used to understand the process of incremental forming and its simulation.

This paper puts forward an intelligent single-plane biaxial balance monitor system, which is used in ultra-precision grinding. It adopts the method of single-plane balance correction for the vibration of wheel and workpiece. And this system can also be used for integral balance. For ultra-precision grinding, caused by the mutual influence of the vibration of wheel and workpiece, there will be a ripple on the workpiece surface, which is mainly influenced by the frequency ratio of wheel to workpiece, the feed rate and the vibration of wheel and workpiece. This system can improve the machining accuracy, reduce the surface error of workpiece and appraise the integrated machining result, by analyzing the vibration data of wheel and workpiece and adjusting machining parameters.
