Machining accuracy improvement for a dual-spindle ultra-precision drum roll lathe based on geometric error analysis and calibration

This paper performs a comprehensive analysis and calibration on the geometric error of the ultra-precision drum roll lathe with dual-spindle symmetrical structure and cross slider layout. Firstly, the volumetric error model which contains all geometric errors of the dual-spindle ultra-precision drum roll lathe (DSUPDRL) is developed based on the combination of the homogenous transfer matrix (HTM) and multi-body system (MBS) theory. Secondly, sensitivity analysis for the volumetric error model is conducted to identify the sensitive geometric error components of the DSUPDRL using an improved Sobol method based on the quasi-Monte Carlo algorithm. The result of sensitivity analysis laid the foundation for the subsequent geometric error calibration. Then, some sensitive error components along the X and Z directions are calibrated using a laser interferometer and a pair of inductance displacement probes. Besides the volumetric error model, the concentricity error caused by dual-spindle symmetrical structure is proposed and calibrated by the on-machine measurement using a classic reversal method. Finally, a large-scale roller mold with a diameter of 250 mm and a length of 600 mm is machined using the DSUPDRL after calibration. The experimental result shows that 1.4 μm/600 mm generatrix accuracy is obtained, which validate the effectiveness of the geometric error analysis and calibration.

Suppression of diamond tool wear in machining of tungsten carbide by combining ultrasonic vibration and electrochemical processing

As an important ceramic material, tungsten carbide (WC) is utilized as the typical mold in precision glass molding, which has replaced conventional grinding and polishing to provide a highly replicative process for mass manufacturing of optical glass components. Ultra-precision grinding, which is time consuming and has low reproducibility, is the only method to machine such WC molds to high profile accuracy. Although diamond turning is the most widely used machining method for fabrication of optical molds made of metals, diamond turning of WC is still considered challenging due to fast abrasive wear of the diamond tool caused by high brittleness and hardness of WC. Ultrasonic vibration cutting has been proven to be helpful in realizing ductile-mode machining of brittle materials, but its tool life is still not long enough to be utilized in practical diamond turning of optical WC molds. In the current study, a hybrid method is proposed to combine electrochemical processing of WC workpiece surface into the diamond turning process. Cutting tests on WC using poly-crystalline diamond tools were conducted to evaluate its effect on improvement of tool wear and surface quality. Validation cutting tests using single crystal diamond tools has proven that the proposed hybrid method is able to significantly reduce the diamond tool wear and improve the surface quality of machined ultra-fine grain WC workpiece compared to ultrasonic vibration cutting without electrochemical processing.     

Experimental Investigations of Machinability in the Turning of Compacted Graphite Iron using Minimum Quantity Lubrication

Unique mechanical properties of the compacted graphite iron (CGI) attracted attention of manufacturers and suppliers mainly in automotive industry in last decades. However due to the low machinability of the CGI material, more efficient machining strategies need to be implemented. Improvement in the cost-effective and environmentally sensitive processing of compacted graphite iron (CGI) is one of the major concerns of the manufacturing world because of the allure of CGI's mechanical properties. This study assesses the efficiency of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) in CGI turning when compared to the dry-cutting condition. The turning tests were conducted across a wide range of cutting parameters: three different cutting speeds (100, 200, 300 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm/rev), all at a constant depth of cut (1 mm). The MQL efficiency is evaluated through cutting force and surface roughness measurements, optical and SEM analyses of chip formation and tool-wear analysis. The results showed that MQL usage provided a reduction in the resultant cutting forces by 2–5%, a reduction in surface roughness by 25%. The SEM analysis also revealed much clearer and smoother cutting edges on tool surfaces used in the MQL tests.     

Study and evaluation of abrasive water jet turning process performance on AA5083

In this study, the effect of processing parameters on surface roughness and macro surface characteristics was analyzed during the machining of Ø30 mm and 300 mm aluminum alloy AA5083 abrasive water jets. As the processing parameters (up to 10 mm min⁻¹, 15 mm min⁻¹, 20 mm min⁻¹ and 25 mm min⁻¹), abrasive flow rate (50 g min⁻¹, 150 g min⁻¹, 250 g min⁻¹ and 350 g min⁻¹), the lathe chuck rotational speed (25 min⁻¹, 50 min⁻¹, 75 min⁻¹ and 100 min⁻¹) and the nozzle approach distance (2 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm and 11 mm) were used in experiments. In experimental studies, the pump pressure (360 MPa) was used as a constant, in the form of an abrasive Garnet (100 mesh), and the nozzle diameter as 0.76 mm. According to the findings, the best results in terms of surface roughness were obtained as a result of turning speed and abrasive flow rate. When the macro surface characteristics were examined, it was found that the lathe chuck rotational speed increased, the rate of nozzle progression was low, the rate of abrasive flow was high and the nozzle approach distance was lower and the smoother surfaces were obtained.

Numerical simulation of the effects of elastic anisotropy and grain size upon the machining of AA2024

Turning modeling and simulation of different metallic materials using the commercially available Finite Element (FE) softwares is getting prime importance because of saving of time and money in comparison to the costly experiments. Mostly, the numerical analysis of machining process considers a purely isotropic behavior of metallic materials; however, the literature shows that the elastic crystal anisotropy is present in most of the ‘so-called’ isotropic materials. In the present work, the elastic anisotropy is incorporated in the FE simulations along with the effect of grain size. A modified Johnson-Cook ductile material model based on coupled plasticity and damage evolution has been proposed to model the cutting process. The simulation results were compared with experimental data on the turning process of Aluminum alloy (AA2024). It was found that the elastic anisotropy influences the average cutting force up to 5% as compared to the isotropic models while the effect of grain size was more pronounced up to 20%.
