However, current metal precursor additive manufacturing technologies that operate in a layer-by-layer manner are limited by low solid loading, poor rheological performance, slow printing speed, and anisotropic physical properties from the stacking of individual layers. To circumvent these challenges, printing resin with high solid loading of metal precursors and excellent rheological behavior was developed and employed in a rapid, layer-less additive manufacturing process to fabricate metal precursor objects within minutes. Addition of BYK-2013 dispersant, an ionic copolymer, to aid in the homogeneous dispersion of metal salt precursor dispersion was able to achieve a high maximum copper precursor concentration of 60 % (w/w) while sustaining stable dispersion for more than 24 h without displaying significant particle sedimentation greater than 1 mm. Cross-linking characteristics were investigated to optimize surface quality and reduce printing times of 3D printed objects resulting in low surface roughness (0.986 μm) and printing speeds upwards of 20 μm s⁻¹. Additionally, experimental results indicated that resins containing BYK-2013 exhibited superior hydrophobicity with no rehydration of inorganic metal salts after 180 min while maintaining an excellent viscosity of approximately 0.16 Pa s. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) guided post-processing optimization was successfully conducted to promote stable thermal decomposition during the removal of organics, metal oxide formation, and metal oxide reduction leading to highly robust copper lattices with final concentration of copper upwards of 92.8 % and an overall average isotropic shrinkage of 62 %. Furthermore, the microstructure evinces that an either dense or porous microstructure can be realized by adjusting metal precursor concentration to generate tunable physical properties with the final copper part.

The service property of the formed ring components mainly depends on the microscopical grain texture. However, investigation and modeling of microstructure evolution in this complex hot working processes are not appropriately performed, which hinders further control of the forming quality of components during CRR. In this study, by analyzing the characteristics of CRR process and deformation modes in different characteristic zones of typical thin-walled conical ring with inner transverse ribs (TWCRITRs), a continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) model of aluminum alloy that considers the influence of thermal deformation history was firstly proposed. The developed CDRX model was integrated into the finite element (FE) to predict microstructure evolution throughout the entire hot working process. The optimal parameters of the CRR process were obtained with the uniformity and fineness of microstructure as the goal, guiding the subsequent forming experiment. The predicted shape and microstructure agree well with the experimental results. It is found that the grain refinement mechanisms of 2A14 Al-alloy TWCRITRs during CRR include CDRX and thin grain cutting CDRX. Due to the low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) being pinned by the upper and lower high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), the recrystallization efficiency in the thin grain cutting CDRX is higher than that in the traditional CDRX mechanism. The shear deformation at thin-wall and complex deformation at the corner promotes the occurrence of thin grain cutting CDRX mechanism with a higher recrystallization efficiency. Eventually, the mechanical properties of manufacturing TWCRITRs met the requirements. All of these provide additional insights into the shape and microstructure controlled CRR process for TWCRITRs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 104255"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143421036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By transitioning into a p-type semiconductor, the diamond tool manifests heat-sensitive characteristics, enabling to sense the cutting temperature. The inherent orientation-dependent behaviour of boron doping in diamond tools, particularly notable in the (100) orientation, was suppressed through removal of nitrogen from the lattice. The lattice distortions induced by heavy boron doping after nitrogen removal in (111)-oriented diamond were significantly mitigated by co-doping with boron and hydrogen. This approach enhanced the crystal quality and semiconductor electrical properties of the diamond tools, which are crucial for accurate measurement of the cutting temperature. Compared with boron-doped diamond tools, the nitrogen-extracted boron and hydrogen co-doped diamond tool exhibited superior sensitivity and an extended range of temperature sensing. The diamond tool was employed for cutting temperature measurements during the micro-scale depth-graded turning of copper and titanium alloys, as well as the nano-scale progressive scratching of silicon. Experiments demonstrated the tool's capabilities for in-process monitoring of cutting states in micro zones, along with high-sensitivity detection of micro/nano-scale surface morphologies and characteristics during ultra-precision machining.

In this study, IN718/CuCrZr multimaterial structures with hierarchical interlocking interfaces were designed and manufactured using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) via a flexible scraper-based method. The evolution of microstructure at the interface and mechanical properties were investigated. The thermomechanical behaviour during the LPBF process, interfacial bonding mechanisms, and deformation mechanisms were discussed. Compared to printing CuCrZr before IN718, printing IN718 before CuCrZr was a promising printing sequence for reducing the stress concentration and lack-of-fusion defects, and promoting material intermixing at the interface. A hierarchical interlocking interface design can promote material intermixing and grain refinement at the interface. In addition, the hierarchical interlocking interface design can improve the stress distribution and deflect the fracture path at the interface, which helps increase energy dissipation and enhance interfacial bonding. Three-point flexural test results show that the ultimate flexural strength of the N1 samples was increased by 15 % compared to the N0 samples.

However, it is difficult to machine CFRP deep micro-holes using conventional mechanical drilling and non-conventional processes individually because of the anisotropic and inhomogeneous characteristics of CFRP. To address this problem, an electrical discharge-mechanical hybrid drilling method was proposed in this study. In this method, a specialized servo control strategy was employed to effectively utilize the electrical discharge machining and mechanical drilling, based on the distinct difference in electrical conductivity between the carbon fibre and the resin in CFRP. This effectively resolved the challenges posed by the high hardness of the carbon fibre for mechanical drilling and the non-conductivity of the resin for EDM, taking advantage of both EDM and mechanical drilling. High-speed photography, processing debris analysis, discharge state monitoring, and finite element simulation were performed to investigate the machining process and material removal mechanism of electrical discharge-mechanical hybrid drilling. The results showed that most of the carbon fibre and resin were individually removed by EDM and mechanical drilling, respectively. However, in the interfacial region between the carbon fibre and resin, both mechanical drilling and EDM occur simultaneously. The heat generated during the EDM of carbon fibre also leads to the thermal decomposition and vaporization of the resin in proximity to the carbon fibre. Furthermore, deep micro-holes machining with a diameter of 330 μm and a depth-to-diameter ratio of 15.1 was performed on CFRP component to validate the advantages of the proposed hybrid drilling method. Compared with EDM, the proposed hybrid drilling method exhibited a 29.1 % increase in efficiency, 56.25 % reduction in taper, and 54.32 % reduction in the heat-affected zone.

Continuous SiC fibres significantly enhance the axial tensile strength of SiC_f/Ti compared to traditional Ti alloys. To utilise this material fully, its axial dimensions are fixed during manufacturing, but the outer Ti matrix layer must be thinned to meet structural accuracy requirements. Thinning often leads to interfacial cracking and fibre breakage owing to machining stress, which presents a major challenge in manufacturing. The deformation mechanism during thinning is unclear and the lack of low-stress thinning methods significantly limits the potential applications of SiC_f/Ti. This study investigates the macroscopic deformation and microstructural evolution of SiC_f/Ti under ultrasonic cutting (UC) through orthogonal experiments. Compared with conventional cutting (CC), UC reduces cutting force by 20 % and surface residual stress by 60 %, while increasing subsurface residual stress and nano-hardness. The acoustic softening effect in UC reduces cutting force and surface stress, while high-frequency stress waves elevate subsurface stress. Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis reveals that the combined effects of loading and unloading cycles during UC produce an elastic recovery strain, reducing the overall deformation in SiC_f/Ti during machining. Additionally, UC promotes grain refinement in the outer Ti layer of SiC_f/Ti and induces a stress concentration at the α-Ti and β-Ti interface, facilitating the transformation of α-Ti to β-Ti. The presence of SiC fibres amplifies the effects of the ultrasonic energy, accelerating dislocation diffusion and annihilation, promoting dynamic recrystallisation, and reducing the dislocation density between the fibres. Moreover, UC homogenises and realigns the stress field at the SiC_f/Ti interface, making the composition and structure of the interface more uniform and reducing interfacial damage.
