Burnishing Process

Burnishing is an effective chipless finishing process for improving workpiece properties: hardness, vibration resistance and surface quality. The application of this technology is limited to rotationally symmetrical structures of deformable metals. Because of the multiaxial characteristics, the transfer of this force controlled technology on to prismatic shapes requires a comprehensive process development. The main purpose of this paper is the characterization of a plain burnishing process on aluminium EN AW 2007 with a linear moved, spherical diamond tool. The method of design of experiments was used to investigate the influence of different machined surfaces in conjunction with process parameters: burnishing force, burnishing direction, path distance and burnishing speed. FEM simulation was utilized for strain and stress analysis. The experiments show, that unlike the process parameters the initial surface roughness as 3rd order shape deviation does not have a significant influence on the finished surface. Furthermore a completely new surface is created by the process, with properties independent from the initial surface roughness.

Burnishing Process

This paper presents an investigation on the surface roughness of burnished hypereutectic Al-Si alloy ¾ a widely used light-weight and wear resistant material in automobile, electric and aircraft industries. Based on the techniques of Taguchi, an orthogonal experiment plan with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed and a second-order regressive mathematical model is established. Meanwhile, the influence of process parameters on surface roughness and its mechanism are discussed. From the experiments, it is found that burnishing process is effective to decrease surface roughness of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy components, in which, all input parameters have a significant effect on the surface roughness. To achieve a small surface roughness, the optimum process parameters are recommended.

The development of quantum technologies is one of the big challenges in modern research. A crucial component for many applications is an efficient, coherent spin–photon interface, and coupling single-color centers in thin diamond membranes to a microcavity is a promising approach. To structure such micrometer thin single-crystal diamond (SCD) membranes with a good quality, it is important to minimize defects originating from polishing or etching procedures. Here, we report on the fabrication of SCD membranes, with various diameters, exhibiting a low surface roughness down to 0.4 nm on a small area scale, by etching through a diamond bulk mask with angled holes. A significant reduction in pits induced by micromasking and polishing damages was accomplished by the application of alternating Ar/Cl2 + O2 dry etching steps. By a variation of etching parameters regarding the Ar/Cl2 step, an enhanced planarization of the surface was obtained, in particular, for surfaces with a higher initial surface roughness of several nanometers. Furthermore, we present the successful bonding of an SCD membrane via van der Waals forces on a cavity mirror and perform finesse measurements which yielded values between 500 and 5000, depending on the position and hence on the membrane thickness. Our results are promising for, e.g., an efficient spin–photon interface.

Finishing Process

Magnetic field assisted finishing process is a nanofinishing process which uses magnetic field for precise control of finishing forces. Magnetorheological fluid mixed with diamond abrasive particles in base medium of glycerol, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and deionized water is used as the polishing medium. The novel tool is a magnet fixture made of mu-metal which is used to hold the magnet during finishing. In the present experimental study, finishing at a spot on flat titanium alloy is carried out to analyze the forces involved in the finishing. Normal force is the main force responsible for the indentation by the abrasive particle on the workpiece surface. Tangential force helps in removing indented material. The measured normal force and tangential force during the spot finishing are 3.285 N and 0.43 N, respectively. The final surface roughness achieved after spot finishing is 10 nm from initial surface roughness of 200 nm. The percentage improvement in surface roughness is 95%.

Finishing Process

Purpose Mass finishing is a commonly employed surface finishing process for improving surface characteristics of aerospace engineering components. Optimization of surface characteristics of such critical components require an explicit computational model that can describe the surface characteristics of the finished component. This paper aims to develop an explicit computational model that can describe the surface roughness as a function of various process parameters which influence the mass finishing process. Design/methodology/approach In the present work, the authors propose to study the roughness characteristics using a combined evolutionary computing approach based on Multi-Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) and Genetic Programming (GP) techniques. Findings The authors conducted sensitivity and parametric analysis to capture the dynamics of surface characteristics by unveiling dominant input variables and hidden non-linear relationships. It is found that by regulating the process time and media size, a greatest variation in surface finish reduction can be achieved in mass finishing process. Originality/value To the best of authors knowledge, for the first time a hybrid evolutionary computational technique has been proposed in this work. The authors combined two powerful evolutionary techniques, namely Multi-variate Adaptive Regressive Splines and Genetic Programming approach. The proposed approach was able to capture the dynamics of surface roughness with higher accuracy as comparable to that of the experiments.

Finishing Process

This paper describes an internal finishing process for thick non-ferromagnetic tube (10~20 mm in thickness) by the application of a magnetic field-assisted machining process using a magnetic machining jig (permanent magnet tool). In this study, a new automatic inner surface finishing system was developed, and to achieve smooth surface roughness and high form accuracy, a multiple-stage machining which contains of rough machining and precision finishing was carried out. Especially, in order to improve the form accuracy the rough processing time was made longer compared with the research in the past. The experiments were performed for a thick SUS304 stainless steel tube 10 mm in thickness. The results showed that surface-roughness and form accuracy were able to be improved greatly, the initial surface roughness of 4.9μmRa can be improved to 0.01 μmRa and the roundness of inside tube can be improved from 206 μm to13μm.
