The quality of a machined surface plays a critical role in assembly performance, especially for precise matching parts, and therefore it is necessary to develop a surface quality monitoring system in the machining process. In this paper, an indirect surface quality monitoring approach is proposed with a wireless sensory tool holder. First, experimentation is conducted to collect the machining process signals from the tool holder. Then, the time domain, frequency domain and time–frequency domain features are extracted, and the deep forest algorithm is adopted to identify the surface quality, which is evaluated through the surface average parameter. Finally, the results of the experiment and the comparisons with other approaches demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which could be applied to ensure the surface quality, improve the machining efficiency and reduce the rejection rate of the machining process.

Machined Surface Quality

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is typically hard to process, because it is easy for it to generate processing damage such as burrs, tears, delamination, and so on in the machining process. Consequently, this restricts its wide spread application. This paper conducted a comparative experiment on the cutting performance of the two different-structure milling cutters, with a helical staggered edge and a rhombic edge, in milling carbon fiber composites; analyzed the wear morphologies of the two cutting tools; and thus acquired the effect of the tool structure on the machined surface quality and cutting force. The results indicated that in the whole cutting, the rhombic milling cutter with a segmented cutting edge showed better wear resistance and a more stable machined surface quality. It was not until a large area of coating shedding occurred, along with chip clogging, that the surface quality decreased significantly. At the stage of coating wear, the helical staggered milling cutter with an alternately arranged continuous cutting edge showed better machined surface quality, but when the coating fell off, its machined surface quality began to reveal damage such as groove, tear, and fiber pullout. Meanwhile, burrs occurred at the edge and the cutting force obviously increased. By contrast, for the rhombic milling cutter, both the surface roughness and cutting force increased relatively slowly.

Abstract Surface integrity of micro components is a major concern particularly in manufacturing industries as most geometry of the products must meet out necessary surface quality requirements. Advanced machining process like electrochemical micro machining possess the capabilities to machine micro parts with best surface properties exempting them from secondary operations. In this research work, different electrolytes have been employed for producing micro holes in A286 super alloy material to achieve the best surface quality and the measurement of surface roughness and surface integrity to evaluate the machined surface is carried out. The machined micro hole provides detailed information on the geometrical features. A study of parametric analysis meant for controlling surface roughness and improvement of surface integrity has been made to find out the suitable parameters for machining. The suitability of various electrolytes with their dissolution mechanism and the influence of various electrolytes have been thoroughly studied. Among the utilized electrolytes, EG + NaNO3 electrolyte provided the best results in terms of overcut and average surface roughness.

Torus cutters are increasingly used in machining high-hardness materials because of high processing efficiency. However, due to the large hardness variation in assembled hardened steel workpiece, the tool wear occurs easily in machining process. This severely affects the machined surface quality. Here, we conduct a research on the tool wear and the machined surface quality in milling assembled hardened steel mold with a torus cutter. The experimental results show the abrasive wear mechanism dominates the initial tool wear stage of the torus cutter. As the tool wear intensifies, the adhesive wear gradually occurs due to the effect of alternating stress and impact load. Thus, the mixing effect of the abrasive and adhesive wears further accelerates tool wear, resulting in occurrence of obvious crater wear band on the rake face and coating tearing area on the flank face. Finally, the cutter is damaged by the fatigue wear mechanism, reducing seriously the cutting performance. With increase of flank wear, moreover, there are increasingly obvious differences in both the surface morphology and the cutting force at the two sides of the joint seam of the assembled hardened steel parts, including larger height difference at the two sides of the joint seam and sudden change of cutting force, as a result, leading to decreasing cutting stability and deteriorating seriously machined surface quality.

The single point diamond turning process has been used extensively for direct optical surface fabrication. However, the diamond machined surfaces have characteristic periodic tool marks, which contribute to reduced optical performance such as scattering and distortion. In this paper, studies of the characteristics of diamond machined surface and scattering from the diamond machined surfaces are presented. Four different parameters, the first order optical diffraction, the zero order reflection, the surface roughness, and the residual tool mark depth, are used as indicators for the machined surface quality. Four sets of tests are presented showing the relationship between machined surface quality and machining conditions such as spindle speed, feedrate, and machining process. Finally, an empirical model is given based on the measurements.

In electrical discharge machining (EDM), the machined surface quality can be affected by the excessive temperature generation during the machining process. To achieve a longer life of the finished part, the machined surface quality plays a key role in maintaining its overall integrity. Surface roughness is an important quality evaluation of a material’s surface that has considerable influence on mechanical performance of the material. Herein, a sintered cermet tooltip with 75% copper and 25% titanium carbide was used as tool electrode for processing H13 steel. The experiments have been performed to investigate the effects of EDM parameters on the machined surface roughness. The findings show that, as the pulse current, pulse length, and pulse interval are increased, the surface roughness tends to rise. The most significant determinant for surface roughness was found to be pulse current. A semi-empirical surface roughness model was created using the characteristics of the EDM technique. Buckingham’s theorem was used to develop a semi-empirical surface roughness prediction model. The semi-empirical model’s predictions were in good agreement with the experimental studies, and the built empirical model based on physical features of the cermet tooltip was tested using dimensional analysis.

Aerostatic Spindle

The ultra-precision spindle is the key component of ultra-precision machine tool, which largely influences the machining accuracy. Its frequency characteristics mainly affect the frequency domain error of the machined surface. In this article, the error measurement setup for the ultra-precision aerostatic spindle in a flycutting machine tool is established. The dynamic and multi-direction errors of the spindle are real-time measured under different rotation speeds. Then, frequency domain analysis is carried out to obtain its regularity characteristics based on the measurement result. Through the analysis, the main synchronous and asynchronous errors with relatively large amplitude of the spindle errors are found, and the amplitude change law of these main spindle errors is obtained. Besides, the cause of the main synchronous and asynchronous errors is also analyzed and indicated. This study deepens the understanding of ultra-precision spindle dynamic characteristics and plays the important role in the spindle frequency domain errors’ control, machining process planning, frequency characteristics analysis and oriented control of the machined surface errors.

Abstract This paper focuses on the unconventional laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique in which the LPBF and machining processes were executed alternately to fabricate higher quality parts compared to those obtained using subtractive machining processes. The additional machining process changed the stress distribution inside the built part, resulting in the deformation of the surface morphology in the final part. The phenomenon pertaining to the combined LPBF and machining process based fabrication was investigated, and the influence of the process parameters on the formation of the surplus part and deformation of the machined surface was evaluated. In addition, a laser scan and machining strategy was formulated to improve the surface quality of the built part. The surplus buildup at the edge of the fabricated part occurred owing to the difference in the thermal properties between the solidified part and deposited metal powder. The laser-irradiated position at the first layer buildup and energy density were the principal factors affecting the formation of the surplus part, and the surplus buildup could be reduced using the laser scan strategy, in which the laser-irradiated position was shifted inward. The peripheral face of the built part formed periodical steps, owing to the deformation induced by the change in the thermal distribution inside the built part. These steps could be reduced using the machining strategy combining the rough machining process with a finishing allowance and stepwise finishing process.

Machined Surface Quality

In recent years, the energy efficiency improvement has become significant due to rapid consumption of world's energy resources. Particularly in manufacturing industry, hard turning process is one of the most fundamental metal removal processes that require huge power consumption and it could be improved in term of energy usage by many alternatives. At the same time, the improvement in term of machined surface quality is become a need since it would reflect appearance, performance and reliability of the products. As for example in the CNC machining field, one of the solution for this issue is by increasing the effectiveness of the existing lubrication systems as it could improve the machined surface quality, reduce the power required to overcome the friction component in batch production of machining process and reduce the oil consumption. The effectiveness of the lubrication system could be improved by introducing the nanobase lubrication system for much less power consumption as the rolling action of billions units of nanoparticle in the tool chip interface could reduce the cutting forces significantly. In this research work, the possibility of using SiO2 nanobase lubrication system is investigated to reduce the machining power consumption as well as improving surface quality in hard turning process of AISI4140.
