The Relationship

With excellent properties, high-temperature superalloys have become the main application materials for aircraft engines, gas turbines, and many other devices. However, superalloys are typically difficult to machine, especially for the thread cutting. In this article, an ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning system is proposed for thread cutting operations in superalloys. A theoretical analysis of ultrasonic vibration–assisted thread cutting is carried out. An ultrasonic vibration–assisted system was integrated into a standard lathe to demonstrate thread turning in Inconel 718 superalloy. The influence of ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining on workpiece surface quality, chip shape, and tool wear was analyzed. The relationship between machining parameters and ultrasonic vibration–assisted processing performance was also explored. By analyzing the motion relationship between tool path and workpiece surface, the reasons for improved workpiece surface quality by ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining were explained.

Machining Operations

The present work proposes a novel manufacturing technique based on the combination of Laser Metal Deposition, Laser Beam Machining, and laser polishing processes for the complete manufacturing of complex parts. Therefore, the complete process is based on the application of a laser heat source both for the building of the preform shape of the part by additive manufacturing and for the finishing operations. Their combination enables the manufacture of near-net-shape parts and afterwards removes the excess material via laser machining, which has proved to be capable of eliminating the waviness resulting from the additive process. Besides, surface quality is improved via laser polishing so that the roughness of the final part is reduced. Therefore, conventional machining operations are eliminated, which results in a much cleaner process. To validate the capability of this new approach, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality as well as the microstructure of the resulting parts are evaluated. The process has been validated on an Inconel 718 test part, where a previously additively built-up part has been finished by means of laser machining and laser polishing.

Laser Polishing (LP) is a well-defined technology that has recently been applied to improve three-dimensional (3D) printed Inconel 718 (IN718) parts. However, the necessity to conduct the process in an argon chamber is one of its major drawbacks, which is associated with an increase in the costs of production and the limitations of the technology regarding the size of parts that can be polished. This article investigates the possibility to conduct LP of IN718 in an air atmosphere and compares the results with those from an argon chamber setup. The experiment was carried out in the context of the influence of overlap on the final surface. The improvement of surface quality was defined through the evaluation of average areal roughness parameters, material relocation, periodic surface components, and the categorization of process-induced structures. It was found that LP allows for the average roughness to be reduced by 82.8% and 87.9% for an air and argon atmosphere, respectively. The oxidation layer was characterized using Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The formation of overlap with regards to Ti and Al oxides had a vital influence on surface quality.

Surface Morphologies

Laser polishing is a widely used technology to improve the surface quality of the products. However, the investigation on the physical mechanism is still lacking. In this paper, the established numerical transient model reveals the rough surface evolution mechanism during laser polishing. Mass transfer driven by Marangoni force, surface tension and gravity appears in the laser-induced molten pool so that the polished surface topography tends to be smoother. The AlSi10Mg samples fabricated by laser-based powder bed fusion were polished at different laser hatching spaces, passes and directions to gain insight into the variation of the surface morphologies, roughness and microhardness in this paper. The experimental results show that after laser polishing, the surface roughness of Ra and Sa of the upper surface can be reduced from 12.5 μm to 3.7 μm and from to 29.3 μm to 8.4 μm, respectively, due to sufficient wetting in the molten pool. The microhardness of the upper surface can be elevated from 112.3 HV to 176.9 HV under the combined influence of the grain refinement, elements distribution change and surface defects elimination. Better surface quality can be gained by decreasing the hatching space, increasing polishing pass or choosing apposite laser direction.

Inconel 718 Superalloy

In order to improve the seawater corrosion resistance of Inconel 718 superalloy, a La2Zr2O7/NiCoCrAlY thermal barrier coating corrosion resistant to 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution was prepared by laser cladding on Inconel 718 superalloy. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and electrochemical techniques were used to study the microstructure and the corrosion performance of the coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The results show that the thermal barrier coating is mainly composed of primary La2Zr2O7 phase and γ + laves/δ phase eutectic structure. The corrosion potential and corrosion current of the coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution are higher and lower than that of the Inconel 718 substrate, respectively, indicating that the corrosion performance of the coating is better than that of the Inconel 718 substrate. The presence of La2Zr2O7 phase in the thermal barrier coating is the main reason for its corrosion resistance to 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.
