The objective of this paper is to clarify the effect of grinding surface characteristics in the grinding of a titanium alloy with a coolant supply from the inner side of the grinding wheel. In this paper, we selected a white aluminum oxide (WA) vitrified bonded grinding wheel and a green silicon carbide (GC) vitrified bonded grinding wheel, and compared their grinding characteristics. As a result, in the case of the GC vitrified bonded grinding wheel, the surface roughness decreased by about 54% and the compressive residual stress increased by about 128%.

The objective of this paper was to compare the creep feed superabrasive machining of an alpha-beta structural titanium alloy, using a water-soluble and a straight oil grinding fluid, in terms of residual stress, specific energy, power flux and microstructure. The statistical effect of process variables on these criteria was investigated using a Taguchi screening design of experiment. Grinding wheel peripheral velocity, abrasive size and fluid type were the most important factors contributing to compressive residual stress. After the depth of cut, fluid type contributed the most variation to specific energy and power flux. Both fluids produced testpieces that were microstructurally sound, and were essentially stress free or had favorable compressive residual stress.

ABSTRACTThe special application environment puts forward the higher requirement of reliability of parts made from titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, which is closely related to the machining-induced residual stress. For the fact of the non-linear distribution of residual stress beneath the machined surface, distribution of peripheral milling-induced residual stress and its effect on fatigue performance of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are still confusing. In the present study, residual stress profile induced by peripheral milling of Ti–6Al–4V is first studied. And then, energy criteria are proposed to characterise the whole state of the residual stress field. Finally, the effects of residual stress profile and surface energy on tensile–tensile fatigue performance of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are discussed. The conclusions were drawn that the variation trend of surface residual stress (σr,Sur), maximum compressive residual stress (σC,ax), location (hr0) and response depth (hry) of residual stress profile with cutting parameters showed a similar pattern for both measure directions those parallel (σ1) and perpendicular (σ3) to the cutting direction. Cutting speed and feed rate have a main effect on surface residual stress, and the depth of cut has little effect on all the four key factors of residual stress profile. With the increase of cutting speed and feed rate, machining-induced surface energy tends to become larger. But increasing the depth of cut caused the strain energy stored in unit time to decrease. Furthermore, the effect of depth of cut on surface energy was weakened when the value of cutting depth becomes larger. Both the surface compressive residual stress and the maximum compressive residual stress are beneficial for prolonging the fatigue life, while large value of machining-induced surface energy leads to a decrease of fatigue life. Analysis of variance result shows that maximum residual compressive stress has a greater impact on fatigue life than other residual stress factors.

In this paper, the effect of residual stress on the stress–life (S–N) curve and fracture morphology characteristics of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy after laser shock peening (LSP) without protective coating was experimentally investigated. The fatigue test and residual stress measurement were conducted on specimens before and after the LSP process. It was shown that LSP produced a high-amplitude compressive residual stress field on the surface of the specimen. After the LSP process, the fatigue life limit was increased by 16%, and the S–N curve shifted upward. Then, based on the theory of mean stress, the mechanism whereby the compressive residual stress improves the fatigue life of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was analyzed. It indicated the improvement in fatigue life was because of the high-amplitude compressive residual stress on the surface and in depth induced by LSP to reduce the tensile stress produced by external loading. In addition, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) pattern of fatigue fracture demonstrated distinct differences in the fracture morphology before and after LSP. After LSP, the crack initiation sites of the samples moved to the subsurface where it was difficult for fatigue cracks initiating here. Moreover, after the LSP process, there were high density of fatigue striations and many secondary cracks on the fracture of the treated specimen.

In order to solve the poor cutting performance for the titanium alloy and the serious residual tensile stress distribution on the machined surface in cutting titanium alloy, the utilization of prestressed cutting method is proposed to actively control the residual stress distribution status on the machined surface in machining process. Titanium alloy ring parts were pre-stretched at different condition by a lathe-specific pretension device respectively. By the cutting experimental, the cutting force ,chip formation and surface integrity indexes are compared and studied. The results show that in suitable compressive residual stress on machined surface are achieved by utilizing the prestressed cutting method ,meanwhile procedures of residual stress adjustment after machining could be omitted. Furthermore, the magnitude of compressive residual stress could be actively controlled by adjusting the magnitude of prestressed force in certain extent. And uniform saw-tooth chip are generated in prestressed cutting, meanwhile there’s no significant increment of cutting force. Prestressed cutting method could generate good surface integrity.

The use of Laser Assisted Machining (LAM) can improve different aspects of the machinability of high strength materials. A study was undertaken to determine the optimum cutting parameters and to quantify their influence on fatigue strength according to the type of microstructure created. Two different materials were studied: a bearing steel (100Cr6 / AISI 52100) and an aeronautical titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). In the bearing steel a significant increase of the fatigue resistance was observed due to the transformation of the surface layer into martensite. For the titanium alloy, a slight reduction in the fatigue strength was found as in this case the microstructure and residual stress state of the surface layer was less beneficial. The surface roughness has also been measured and no significant variation has been observed for different laser powers in each material.

Fiber prestressing during matrix curing can significantly improve the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer composites. One primary reason behind this improvement is the generated compressive residual stress within the cured matrix, which impedes cracks initiation and propagation. However, the prestressing force might diminish progressively with time due to the creep of the compressed matrix and the relaxation of the tensioned fiber. As a result, the initial compressive residual stress and the acquired improvement in mechanical properties are prone to decline over time. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties of the prestressed composites as time proceeds. This study monitors the change in the tensile and flexural properties of unidirectional prestressed glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites over a period of 12 months after manufacturing. The composites were prepared using three different fiber volume fractions 25%, 30%, and 40%. The results of mechanical testing showed that the prestressed composites acquired an initial increase up to 29% in the tensile properties and up to 32% in the flexural properties compared to the non-prestressed counterparts. Throughout the 12 months of study, the initial increase in both tensile and flexural strength showed a progressive reduction. The loss ratio of the initial increase was observed to be inversely proportional to the fiber volume fraction. For the prestressed composites fabricated with 25%, 30%, and 40% fiber volume fraction, the initial increase in tensile and flexural strength dropped by 29%, 25%, and 17%, respectively and by 34%, 26%, and 21%, respectively at the end of the study. Approximately 50% of the total loss took place over the first month after the manufacture, while after the sixth month, the reduction in mechanical properties became insignificant. Tensile modulus started to show a very slight reduction after the fourth/sixth month, while the flexural modulus reduction was observed from the beginning. Although the prestressed composites displayed time-dependent losses, their long-term mechanical properties still outperformed the non-prestressed counterparts.
