This research article presents an atomistic study on the cyclic nanoindentation of an equimolar-ratio Co–Mn–Fe–Cr–Ni high-entropy alloy (HEA) using molecular dynamics simulation. The study investigated the effects of indentation depth on the cyclic load versus the indentation depth of the HEA. The results showed that the cyclic response exhibits a pronounced shift towards plasticity with pile-up formation instead of sinking behavior at higher indentation depths. Within the realm of molecular dynamics simulations, the simulated hardness value reached up to 16 GPa for the initial indentation cycle. A steep drop in the load–displacement curve was observed during the elastic–plastic transition, signifying substantial strain softening of the substrate. It was found that the densely clustered stacking faults undergo a reverse transition during cyclic loading, contributing to the backpropagation phase responsible for elastic recovery despite subsequent strain hardening. The study provides important insights into the underlying mechanisms governing the cyclic mechanical behavior of HEAs to guide their improved micromanufacturing.
本文利用分子动力学模拟对等摩尔比 Co-Mn-Fe-Cr-Ni 高熵合金(HEA)的循环纳米压痕进行了原子研究。研究调查了压痕深度对 HEA 循环载荷与压痕深度的影响。结果表明,在压痕深度较高时,循环响应表现出明显的塑性转变,形成堆积而不是下沉行为。在分子动力学模拟领域,初始压入循环的模拟硬度值高达 16 GPa。在弹性-塑性转换过程中,观察到载荷-位移曲线急剧下降,这表明基底发生了大量应变软化。研究发现,在循环加载过程中,密集成群的堆叠断层会发生反向转变,从而导致反向传播阶段,尽管随后发生了应变硬化,但仍能实现弹性恢复。这项研究为了解 HEA 循环机械行为的基本机制提供了重要启示,从而为改进 HEA 的微制造提供指导。

Apart from transmission through the respiratory droplet, the surface contact route is another major mode of viral transmission. The recent pandemic is neither the first nor the last; hence, it is a big challenge for a surface engineer to combat the transmission of microbes and viruses through the contact route. In this topical review, we have comprehensively summarized the possible techniques of surface modification for making surfaces antiviral and the respective antiviral mechanisms. Will the anti-biofouling, superhydrophobic, structured surfaces be enough to roll down viruses with water droplets? If so, there could be critical dimensions of nanostructures that need to be fabricated using a precise micro-nano manufacturing method, and the same has been discussed in this review. The surface structuring using functional nanomaterials (copper and copper alloy, gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, zinc dioxide, etc.) against different types of viruses and viruses belonging to the coronavirus family has been compared in detail with their merits and demerits. Finally, we foresee that among these surface modification techniques, the nanospike structures combined with an antiviral coating could be the most effective way to combat the transmission of viruses (e.g., COVID-19) through the contact route.

The unique material properties of Nitinol have led to its extensive use in the biomedical field and microdevices. However, the machining of Nitinol remains a challenge due to its exceptional mechanical properties. This led to the use of a non-conventional machining process, of which laser machining proved to be most suitable and promising due to its versatility. To understand the process, the sample was irradiated by a laser beam over a straight line. An analytical model attempts to understand the process and predict the minimum process parameters necessary to conduct the machining process. The results are compared experimentally, wherein the influence of laser power and scan speed over the surface morphology, hardness, and groove dimensions are studied in detail. The optimum process signature was 90 W of laser fluence with a 100 mm/s scanning speed.

With advancements in the semiconductor industry, it is required to have angstrom level surface finish on silicon wafers which is achieved by nano-polishing. However, side burr is formed due to material pile-up from material removal due to abrasive which becomes detrimental to achieving the high surface finish. This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to explore the mechanism underlying side burr formation during nano-polishing of mono-crystalline silicon (Si)-wafer. The study utilizes a diamond nano-abrasive grit to scratch the surface of the Si-wafer and investigates the formation of pile-ups during the steady-state process. It was observed that increasing the depth of cut by four times led to a 6.3-fold increase in the number of amorphous atoms, indicating greater bond breakage in the direction of scratching. As a result, the cutting force exceeds the thrust force at larger depths of the cut. The correlation between the side burr height and the depth of cut is also studied. Results show that the side burr height ratio increases with the depth of cut, indicating a higher sensitivity of side burr height to the depth of cut. The study suggests that to achieve a ductile mode of material removal and minimize the height of the side burr during nano-polishing of Si-wafers, it is crucial to maintain the depth of cut at or below half (≤0.5) of the abrasive radius and ensure an average friction coefficient below 0.6. The outcome of this study can be useful for the actual manufacturing of miniaturized sensors, actuators, and microsystems for microelectromechanical system devices where a high surface finish is crucial.

It was observed that increasing the depth of cut by four times led to a 6.3-fold increase in the number of amorphous atoms, indicating greater bond breakage in the direction of scratching. As a result, the cutting force exceeds the thrust force at larger depths of the cut. The correlation between the side burr height and the depth of cut is also studied. Results show that the side burr height ratio increases with the depth of cut, indicating a higher sensitivity of side burr height to the depth of cut. The study suggests that to achieve a ductile mode of material removal and minimize the height of the side burr during nano-polishing of Si-wafers, it is crucial to maintain the depth of cut at or below half (≤0.5) of the abrasive radius and ensure an average friction coefficient below 0.6. The outcome of this study can be useful for the actual manufacturing of miniaturized sensors, actuators, and microsystems for microelectromechanical system devices where a high surface finish is crucial.","PeriodicalId":129806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromanufacturing","volume":"25 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139795676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additive manufacturing has been a revolution in the last decade and has led to a number of product innovations. Rapid prototyping (RP) has significantly reduced the product development cycle time and RP techniques are now replacing many conventional plastic processing techniques where production volume is not an issue. In order to ascertain the utility of additive manufacturing techniques for the development of fully functional parts, it’s important to establish the optimal set of process parameters for achieving maximum mechanical performance. In the current experimental investigation, the dogbone-shaped parts of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were fabricated by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The process parameters were optimized for dogbone-shaped specimens fabricated by the FDM process. Among the parameters, it has been found that orientation and infill density are the most dominant factors affecting the tensile strength of FDM parts printed with ABS material.
