Abstract In face milling process, the quality of surface texture is vital for mechanical performance of workpieces. The quality of surface texture, especially for waviness, is directly affected by tool marks, a commonly observed phenomenon in face milling. However, appropriate approaches for evaluation and modeling of tool marks are absent to date. Limited to the resolution as well as the efficiency of conventional measurement instruments, the height data of tool marks is hard to be entirely obtained, leading to valuable information omission. Besides, most existing models of tool marks are established for general workpieces with regular geometry and continuous surfaces. Since the cutter-workpiece engagement mode has a significant impact on the generation of tool marks, current models could be inaccurate or invalid when dealing with workpieces with discontinuous surfaces. To overcome this shortage, a novel approach is proposed in this paper, aimed at quality improvement of surface texture in face milling of workpieces with discontinuous surfaces. Firstly, the evaluation indexes for tool marks are defined based on the recently developed high definition metrology (HDM). Secondly, the physical modeling of tool marks is presented, taking the face milling mechanism into account. Thirdly, the physical-informed optimization model is developed to search for the optimal processing parameters for surface quality improvement. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified by a face milling experiment on the engine blocks.

Laser technologies for fast prototyping using metal powder-based materials allow for faster production of prototype constructions actually used in the tooling industry. This paper presents the results of measurements on the surface texture of flat samples and the surface texture of a prototype of a reduced-mass lathe chuck, made with the additive technology—powder bed fusion. The paper presents an analysis of the impact of samples’ orientation on the building platform on the surface geometrical texture parameters (two-dimensional roughness profile parameters (Ra, Rz, Rv, and so on) and spatial parameters (Sa, Sz, and so on). The research results showed that the printing orientation has a very large impact on the quality of the surface texture and that it is possible to set digital models on the building platform (parallel—0° to the building platform plane), allowing for manufacturing models with low roughness parameters. This investigation is especially important for the design and 3D printing of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) models, where surface texture quality and printable resolution are still a large problem.

AbstractFour north coast Peruvian stirrup-spout jars of the middle Moche period show every indication of having been cast from a single mold. Heretofore no more than two actual duplicates from one mold have been described for pre-Columbian north coast pottery. This mold-made product varies from cast to cast in spout form, hue, paint distribution, polish, general surface texture, quality of mold-impressed lines, diameter measurements, and sharpness of relief. A second series of four similar Moche jars which were not from the same mold indicates that duplicates cannot be posivitely identified without careful firsthand examination of the specimens.

AbstractIn this work, we report the post-growth investigation of the microstructure and stress in the AlN films grown on patterned amorphous dielectrics through micro-Raman spectroscopy. The surface texture of AlN/SiO2 structures was characterized by randomly oriented crystallites typical of polycrystalline films. Post growth analysis of the AlN/SiO2 structures using micro Raman spectroscopy did not reveal phonon modes corresponding to wurtzite AlN. The presence of randomly oriented crystallites with a possibility of oxidized Al phase in the AlN film could have suppressed the appearance of wurtzite AlN phonon peaks in the Raman spectrum. Profiling the stress and the microstructure of AlN/SiO2 structures across the width of the bridges is thus limited by these factors. AlN structures on SiO2 when subjected to wet etching in buffered HF (10:1) showed a clear change in texture. Micro-raman spectroscopy on the etched areas revealed wurtzite AlN like phonon modes. The appearance of wurtzite AlN modes can be attributed to the removal of oxidized Al phase in the AlN film after wet etching.

In the paper, the vector expression of cutting speed on the contact-points has been obtained by the coordinate transformation. The cutting speed is the contact-point position function which is correlated with contact-line in the process of honing gear. It is diverse along the direction of the tooth depth, so the surface texture of workpiece gear has a visible difference from the top to the root of the tooth. It is showed in the results that the surface roughness value of same tooth has further increscent differences with the increasing honing speed, and the surface of tooth is in the same quality.

The surface texture of polishing pad is a key factor which determines the performance of polishing pad, and by altering the geometrical pattern of polishing pad surface, the surface texture of polished workpiece can be improved. In this paper, based on phyllotaxis theory in biology, the polishing pad with phyllotactic pattern has been designed and the effects of phyllotactic parameters on the surface texture of polishing pad have been discussed. Lastly, the polishing pads with phyllotactic pattern have been made with lithography and composite plating technology, and the influence of correlative plating parameters on plated coating have been investigated. The results indicated that the abrasive grain block density increase with the increasing of the diameter D of abrasive grain block and the decreasing of phyllotactic coefficient k, and the quality of electroplating is optimal when current density is 1A/dm2 and temperature is 30°C.
