In order to machine revolving workpieces which are made of difficult-to-cut materials or have low rigidity, the technology of Numerical Controlled Electrochemical Turning (NC-ECT) was put forward and the preliminary experimental study was presented in this paper. To carry out the study, an experimental setup was developed, and a new special kind of inner-spraying cathode with single linear edge was designed according to the process of machining cylindrical surface and the requirement of stable electrolyte flow field. First, the NC-ECT method was simply described. Then, considering the structure of the cathode and the machining process, the method for calculating the material removed depth per revolution in machining the cylindrical surface was given. Finally, the experiments of machining the cylindrical surface were carried out. Experiments showed: 1) The calculated material removed depth per revolution is well consistent with the actual value of the machining process, which decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and increases almost linearly with the increase of the working voltage; 2) The surface roughness decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the workpiece and the working voltage; 3) The working current in the machining process trend to stable after several revolutions.

An experimental study of the machining process for micro-channels on a brittle quartz crystal material by an abrasive slurry jet (ASJ) is presented. A statistical experiment design considering the major process variables is conducted, and the machined surface morphology and channelling performance are analysed to understand the micro-machining process. It is found that a good channel top edge appearance and bottom surface quality without wavy patterns can be achieved by employing relatively small particles at shallow jet impact angles. The major channel performance measures, i.e. material removal rate (MRR) and channel depth, are then discussed with respect to the process parameters. It shows that with a proper control of the process variables, the abrasive water jet (AWJ) technology can be used for the micro-machining of brittle materials with high quality and productivity.

Smart materials are new generation materials which possess great properties to mend themselves with a change in environment. Smart materials find applications in a wide range of industries including biomedical, aerospace, defense and energy sector and so on. These materials possess unique properties including high hardness, high strength, high melting point and low creep behavior. Manufacturing of these materials is a huge challenge, particularly at the micron scale. Abrasive waterjet micromachining (AWJMM) is a non-traditional material removal process which has the capability of machining extremely hard and brittle materials such as glasses and ceramics. AWJMM process is usually performed with nozzle and workpiece placed in air. However, machining in the air causes spreading of the waterjet resulting in low machining quality. Performing the AWJMM process with a submerged nozzle and workpiece could eliminate this problem and also reduce noise, splash, and airborne debris particles during the machining process. This research investigates Submerged Abrasive Waterjet Machining (SAWJMM) process for micromachining smart ceramic materials. The research involves experimental study on micromachining of smart materials using an in-house fabricated SAWJMM setup. The effect of critical parameters including stand-off distance, abrasive grain size and material properties on the cavity size, kerf angle and MRR during SAWJMM and AWJMM processes are studied. The study found that SAWJMM process is capable of successfully machining smart materials including shape memory alloys and piezoelectric materials at the micron scale. The machined surfaced are free of thermal stresses and did not show any cracking around the edges. The critical process parameter study revealed that stand-off distance and abrasive grit size significantly affect the machining results.

Magnesium is the lightest metal used in industry, above all for aerospace and automotive applications where weight reduction allows an improvement in the fuel efficiency and reducing CO2 emission. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to determine with which machining process, turning or milling, are obtained cylindrical bars of magnesium alloy UNS M11917 by intermittent dry cut with improved roundness and cylindricity finish.

The research involves experimental study on precision machining of hybrid composite stacks using Submerged Abrasive Waterjet Machining (SAWJM) process. In this study, an in-house fabricated SAWJM setup is used to machine a stack of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Titanium. The effect of critical parameters including stand-off distance and abrasive grain size on the size of the cavity machined during SAWJM and Abrasive Waterjet Machining (AWJM) processes are studied. The study found that SAWJM process is capable of successfully machining CFRP/Titanium composites with high precision. The machined surface is free of thermal stresses and did not show any delamination or cracking around the edges. The study suggested that the stand-off distance and abrasive grain size has significant influence on the machining process. The cavities machined on both CFRP and titanium during SAWJM process are smaller and more circular than that produced during AWJM process. The results of this study provide deeper insight into precision machining of hybrid composite stacks.

In a multistage machining process, due to the variation accumulation and interaction between different machining stages, variation analysis and diagnosis for quality-related problems become complicated. In this paper, a fault analysis and prediction method is proposed for connecting engineering design with the activities of process variation sources modeling, dimensional variation analysis, and statistical estimate of variations source. Furthermore, a hypothesis testing method is introduced to determine whether each of potential process faults exists in terms of the statistical significance. At last, an experimental study is provided to illustrate the validity and the significance of the proposed methodology.
