On investigating the soda-lime shot blasting of AZ31 alloy:Effects on surface roughness,material removal rate,corrosion resistance,and bioactivity

In the present study,a novel method of surface finish improvement is proposed using shot blasting of soda lime(SBSL)beads on the Mg-AZ31 alloy.The effect of the soda blasting process parameters,such as blast pressure,stand-off distance,and blast duration,have been studied in-response of material removal rate(MRR)and surface roughness(SR)and corresponding statistical models have been obtained.The multi-objective optimization has also been performed to obtain parameters for maximum MRR and minimum SR.The corrosion behavior of the treated specimens has been performed to study their in-vitro biodegradability in simulated body fluid(SBF)for 1,3,7,10,15,and 21 days.The wettability study of the SBSL treated samples has been investigated using sessile drop methodology.Further,cell adhesion test has also been performed to study the biocompatibility characteristics of the SBSL treated samples using Huh7 liver cell lines.Based on obtained quantitative data as well as scanning electron microscopy analysis of treated samples,the SBSL treatment of the AZ31 alloy has been found highly useful in producing biocompatibility surfaces along with desirable morphological features.

Effect of mechanical anisotropy on material removal rate and surface quality during polishing CdZnTe wafers

The mechanical characters of CdZnTe crystal were investigated by nanoscratch tests, and the effects of mechanical anisotropy on the material removal rate and surface quality were studied by polishing tests. There is a peak of frictional coefficient at the early stage of scratch, and increasing the vertical force will result in the increase of peak value correspondingly. The fluctuation phenomenon of frictional coefficient is generated at high vertical force. The lateral forces show the apparent twofold and threefold symmetries on （110） and （111） planes, respectively. To obtain high surface quality, low polishing pressure and hard direction （〈 T10 〉 directions on （110） plane and 〈 112 〉 directions on （111） plane） should be selected, and to achieve high material removal rate, high polishing pressure and soft direction （〈001〉 directions on （110） plane and 〈 121 〉 directions on （111） plane） should be selected.

This article presents an Artificial Neural Network （ANN） architecture to model the Electrical Discharge Machining （EDM） process. It is aimed to develop the ANN model using an input-output pattern of raw data collected from an experimental of EDM process, whereas several research objectives have been outlined such as experimenting machining material for selected gap current, identifying machining parameters for ANN variables and selecting appropriate size of data selection.

In this paper, the result has significantly demonstrated that the ANN model is capable of predicting the MRR with low percentage prediction error when compared with the experimental result.

Effect of Electrode Materials on Electric Discharge Machining of 316 L and 17 - 4 PH Stainless Steels

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the most efficiently employed non-traditional machining processes for cutting hard-to-cut materials, to geometrically complex shapes that are difficult to machine by conventional machines. In the present work, an experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect of pulsed current on material removal rate, electrode wear, surface roughness and diameteral overcut in corrosion resistant stainless steels viz., 316 L and 17-4 PH. The materials used for the work were machined with different electrode materials such as copper, copper-tungsten and graphite. It is observed that the output parameters such as material removal rate, electrode wear and surface roughness of EDM increase with increase in pulsed current. The results reveal that high material removal rate have been achieved with copper electrode whereas copper-tungsten yielded lower electrode wear, smooth surface finish and good dimensional accuracy.

Kinematics constrained five-axis tool path planning for high material removal rate

Traditional five-axis tool path planning methods mostly focus on differential geometric characteristics between the cutter and the workpiece surface to increase the material removal rate(i.e.,by minimizing path length,improving curvature matching,maximizing local cutting width,etc.) . However,material removal rate is not only related to geometric conditions such as the local cutting width,but also constrained by feeding speed as well as the motion capacity of the five-axis machine. This research integrates machine tool kinematics and cutter-workpiece contact kinematics to present a general kinematical model for five-axis machining process. Major steps of the proposed method include:(1) to establish the forward kinematical relationship between the motion of the machine tool axes and the cutter contact point;(2) to establish a tool path optimization model for high material removal rate based on both differential geometrical property and the contact kinematics between the cutter and workpiece;(3) to convert cutter orientation and cutting direction optimization problem into a concave quadratic planning(QP) model. Tool path will finally be generated from the underlying optimal cutting direction field. Through solving the time-optimal trajectory generation problem and machining experiment,we demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Novel model of material removal rate on ultrasonic-assisted chemical mechanical polishing for sapphire

Ultrasonic-assisted chemical mechanical polishing(UA-CMP)can greatly improve the sapphire material removal and surface quality,but its polishing mechanism is still unclear.This paper proposed a novel model of material removal rate(MRR)to explore the mechanism of sapphire UA-CMP.It contains two modes,namely two-body wear and abrasive-impact.Furthermore,the atomic force microscopy(AFM)in-situ study,computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation,and polishing experiments were conducted to verify the model and reveal the polishing mechanism.In the AFM in-situ studies,the tip scratched the reaction layer on the sapphire surface.The pit with a 0.22 nm depth is the evidence of two-body wear.The CFD simulation showed that abrasives could be driven by the ultrasonic vibration to impact the sapphire surface at high frequencies.The maximum total velocity and the air volume fraction(AVF)in the central area increased from 0.26 to 0.55 m/s and 20%to 49%,respectively,with the rising amplitudes of 1–3μm.However,the maximum total velocity rose slightly from 0.33 to 0.42 m/s,and the AVF was nearly unchanged under 40–80 r/min.It indicated that the ultrasonic energy has great effects on the abrasive-impact mode.The UA-CMP experimental results exhibited that there was 63.7%improvement in MRR when the polishing velocities rose from 40 to 80 r/min.The roughness of the polished sapphire surface was R_(a)=0.07 nm.It identified that the higher speed achieved greater MRR mainly through the two-body wear mode.This study is beneficial to further understanding the UA-CMP mechanism and promoting the development of UA-CMP technology.

Effects of the reciprocating parameters of the carrier on material removal rate and non-uniformity in CMP

Based on the Preston equation, the mathematical model of the material removal rate （MRR）, aiming at a line-orbit chemical mechanical polisher, is established. The MRR and the material removal non-uniformity （MRNU） are numerically calculated by MATLAB, and the effects of the reciprocating parameters on the MRR and the MRNU are discussed. It is shown that the smaller the inclination angle and the larger the amplitude, the higher the MRR and the lower the MRNU. The reciprocating speed of the carrier plays a minor role to improve the MRR and decrease the MRNU. The results provide a guide for the design of a polisher and the determination of a process in line-orbit chemical mechanical polishing.

Experimental Study of Material Removal Process of Fused Silica Glass Using MR Jet Polishing System

Recently,there has been an investigation of polishing processes that has considered new ultra-precision polishing technology for micro parts and optical parts such as those with aspheric and complex shapes.One suitable means of polishing complex shapes is to use a jet of abrasive fluid.However,aerodynamic disturbances and radial spreading are generated by the unstable polishing process of the jet on the surface of the workpiece when it is being polished.A method of jet stabilization has been proposed in which the original nozzle form of a jet of magnetorheological(MR)fluid contains abrasive particles that are magnetized using a magnetic.This paper details the design of an MR jet polishing system that uses an electromagnet,a nozzle,and a hydraulic unit to stabilize a slurry jet based on MR fluid, Second,for silica glass,the polishing spot and section profile are analyzed and the effect of the MR fluid jet polishing process is evaluated.The results of the experiment show that the removal profile is W-shaped and that,in this case,a stable can be proof of a distance of several tens of millimeters from the nozzle.Such results show the possibility of applying the proposed polishing method using MR fluids in ultra-precision micro and optical parts production processes. MR jet polishing shows great potential for use as a new type of precision surface polishing technology.In particular,this is a highly valuable process for the polishing of complex shapes such as micro parts,concaves parts,and cavities.

Effect of AIBI as Free Radical Initiator on Abrasive-Free Polishing of Hard Disk Substrate

To optimize the existing slurry for abrasive-free polishing(AFP)of hard disk substrate,a water-soluble free radical initiator,2,2-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]dihydrochloride(AIBI)is introduced to the H2O2-based slurry.The polishing results show that,the material removal rate(MRR)of hard disk substrate polished with H2O2-based slurry containing AIBI is obviously higher than that without AIBI.The acting mechanism of the improved MRR is investigated.Electron paramagnetic resonances tests show that,by comparison with H2O2 slurry,H2O2-AIBI slurry provides higher concentration of hydroxyl radicals.Auger electron spectrometer analyses further demonstrate that the oxidation ability of H2O2-AIBI slurry is much greater than H2O2 slurry.In addition,potentiodynamic polarization tests show that the corrosion dissolution rate of hard disk substrate in H2O2-AIBI slurry is increased.Therefore that stronger oxidation ability and a higher corrosion dissolution rate of H2O2-AIBI slurry lead to higher MRR can be concluded.
