Combined damaged elasticity and creep modeling of ceramics with wedge splitting tests

During the crack propagation in common refractory ceramics at high temperatures, creep may occur in the wake of a process zone and in front of a crack tip. To account for this phenomenon, an integrated material constitutive model was developed by combining the mechanical behavior following isotropic damaged elasticity concept and Norton-Bailey creep. The post peak fracture behavior followed the bilinear softening law and a simple criterion was defined to consider the creep asymmetricity in uniaxial tension and compression. The material constitutive model was applied to inversely identify mode I fracture parameters with wedge splitting tests of an alumina spinel material at 1200 °C. It showed that the mean ratio of the nominal notch tensile strength to the actual tensile strength was 1.93 and the mean pure fracture energy was 297.6 N/m. In addition, the creep contributed 12.9% on average into the total fracture energy.     

Sliding wear of non-hydrogenated diamond-like carbon coatings against magnesium

Magnesium alloys are of increasing interest to the automobile industry for their potential in reducing vehicle weight, and in turn, improving fuel economy and lowering emissions. It follows that improving the magnesium manufacturing processes will promote greater use of magnesium alloys in automobiles. In recent years, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have attracted attention for their low coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rates. The implementation of DLC coatings on tool and die surfaces may help increase the efficiency of magnesium component manufacturing processes (such as cutting and sheet forming) and also improve the surface quality of the finished products.In this study, the dry sliding wear behaviour of magnetron sputtered non-hydrogenated DLC coatings against Mg (> 99.9 wt.%) was investigated using a vacuum pin-on-disc tribometer. Tests were performed in ambient air (28% RH) and in argon, under a constant load of 5 N and at a sliding speed of 0.12 m/s. In argon, the non-hydrogenated DLC coatings showed a very low COF of 0.05 after an initial running-in period. Carbonaceous material transfer from the non-hydrogenated DLC to the contact surface of the Mg pin was observed in argon. Changing the test atmosphere from argon to ambient air increased the COF to 0.40, which was accompanied by the formation of oxidized Mg debris and an increased wear rate. The friction and wear mechanisms of non-hydrogenated DLC coatings against Mg are proposed to rationalize experimental observations.     

High-throughput drilling of titanium alloys

Experiments of high-throughput drilling of Ti–6Al–4V at 183 m/min cutting speed and 156 mm³/s material removal rate (MRR) using a 4 mm diameter WC–Co spiral point drill were conducted. The tool material and geometry and drilling process parameters, including cutting speed, feed, and fluid supply, were studied to evaluate the effect on drill life, thrust force, torque, energy, and burr formation. The tool wear mechanism, hole surface roughness, and chip light emission and morphology for high-throughput drilling were investigated. Supplying the cutting fluid via through-the-drill holes has proven to be a critical factor for drill life, which can be increased by 10 times compared to that of dry drilling at 183 m/min cutting speed and 0.051 mm/rev feed. Under the same MRR of 156 mm³/s with a doubled feed of 0.102 mm/rev (91 m/min cutting speed), over 200 holes can be drilled. The balance of cutting speed and feed is essential to achieve long drill life and good hole surface roughness. This study demonstrates that, using proper drilling process parameters, spiral point drill geometry, and fine-grained WC–Co tool material, the high-throughput drilling of Ti alloy is technically feasible.     

Finishing effects of spiral polishing method on micro lapping surface

This study presents a spiral polishing method and a device for micro-finishing purposes. This novel finishing process has wider application than traditional processes. This offers both automation and flexibility in final machining operations for deburring, polishing, and removing recast layers, thereby producing compressive residual stresses even in difficult to reach areas. Applying of this method can obtain a fine polished surface by removing tiny fragments via a micro lapping generated by transmission of an abrasive medium through a screw rod. The effect of the removal of the tiny fragments can be achieved due to the function of micro lapping. The method is not dependent on the size of the work-piece's application area in order to carry out the ultra precise process. The application of this research can be extended to various products of precision ball-bearing lead screw. The proposed method produces products with greater precision and more efficiently than traditional processes, in terms of processing precisions and the surface quality of products. These parameters used in achieving maximum material removal rate (MRR) and the lowest surface roughness (SR) are abrasive particle size, abrasive concentration, gap, revolution speed and machining time.

Finite element prediction of material removal rate due to electro-chemical spark machining

Electro-chemical spark machining (ECSM) is an innovative hybrid machining process, which combines the features of the electro-chemical machining (ECM) and electrodischarge machining (EDM). Unlike ECM and EDM, ECSM is capable of machining electrically non-conducting materials. This paper attempts to develop a thermal model for the calculation of material removal rate (MRR) during ECSM. First, temperature distribution within zone of influence of single spark is obtained with the application of finite element method (FEM). The nodal temperatures are further post processed for estimating MRR. The developed FEM based thermal model is found to be in the range of accuracy with the experimental results. Further the parametric studies are carried out for different parameters like electrolyte concentration, duty factor and energy partition. The increase in MRR is found to increase with increase in electrolyte concentration due to ECSM of soda lime glass workpiece material. Also, the change in the value of MRR for soda lime glass with concentration is found to be more than that of alumina. MRR is found to increase with increase in duty factor and energy partition for both soda lime glass and alumina workpiece material.
