Tensile stress and thermal damage resulting from thermal loading will reduce the anti-fraying and anti-fatigue of workpieces, which is undesirable for micro-grinding, so it is imperative to control the rise of temperature. This investigation aims to propose a physical-based model to predict the temperature with the process parameters, wheel properties and material microstructure taken into account. In the calculation of heat generated in the micro-grinding zone, the triangular heat-flux distribution is adopted. The reported energy partition model is also utilized to calculate the heat converted into the workpiece. In addition, the Taylor factor model is used to estimate the effects of crystallographic orientation (CO) and its orientation distribution function (ODF) on the workpiece temperature by affecting the flow stress and grinding forces in micro-grinding. Finally, the physical model is verified by performing micro-grinding experiments using the orthogonal method. The result proves that the prediction matches well with the experimental values. Besides, the single-factorial experiments are conducted with the result showing that the model with the consideration of the variation of Taylor factor improves the accuracy of the temperature prediction.

Abstract This investigation proposes a physics-based model to predict the solid-state phase transformation of maraging steel subjected to microgrinding. In microgrinding, the effect of crystallography is significant on the grinding phase transformation in light of the fact that the depth of cut is on the same order of magnitude as the grain size. This paper proposes a predictive model of phase transformation considering crystallographic orientation (CO) with respect to the grinding direction based on the Taylor factor model. In addition, the flow stress model is modified by adding a CO sensitive term and incorporating the mechanical-thermal loadings. Furthermore, the temperature, temperature rate, strain rate, and Taylor factor are also combined in the model of phase transition. The kinetics parameters of the models are obtained by a regression analysis against experimental data. Finally, the modified models are validated with experiments data and compared with the previous prediction.

In the micro-grinding of single-crystal copper, the effect of crystallography becomes significant as the wheel works intra-crystalline. To quantify the effect of crystallographic orientation (CO) related to the cutting direction on the micro-grinding process, this article presents a Taylor factor model by examining the number and style of activated slip systems. Then, the flow stress model of monocrystalline material is developed considering the variation of the Taylor factor. Furthermore, the models of chip formation and rubbing forces are derived from the flow stress model, while the plowing force is predicted by the Vickers hardness. Then, the overall grinding force model of the whole wheel is developed by incorporating the process parameters and the wheel properties. Finally, micro-grinding experiments are conducted to verify the model, using only the Taylor factor as the variable. The proposed analysis is also compared with the previously reported model, which considers the Taylor factor as a constant of 3.06. The comparison between the two predictions and experimental data shows that the consideration of Taylor factor variability improves the accuracy of prediction.

As one of the most important properties of materials, micro-hardness is influenced by material microstructure significantly. The reported data show that the micro-hardness of materials varies with the variation of crystallographic orientation. This paper presents an analytical model to quantify the effect of crystallographic orientation on micro-hardness by analyzing the mechanical behavior in the test of Vickers hardness. The plastic deformation occurs under the micro-indentation with the flow stress affected significantly by crystallographic orientation of material. This paper develops a Taylor factor model to quantify the effect of crystallographic orientation on the flow stress of polycrystalline materials, by examining the number and the style of activated slip systems. Considering the linear relationship between the flow stress and Vickers hardness, the effect of crystallographic orientation on the Vickers hardness is established. To verify the Taylor factor model, compression tests and Vickers hardness tests were conducted. The result shows that the predictions coincided with the experimental data, which suggests that the model considering the variation of crystallographic orientation is accurate and the Taylor factor model is reasonable. To analyze the sensitivity of flow stress and Vickers hardness to CO, this paper also predicted flow stress and hardness using models without considering the variability of Taylor factor and the athernal stress. The three predictions were compared with the experimental data, and the results proved that the model considering the variability Taylor factor improves flow stress and accuracy of hardness models.

In micro-grinding, the depth of cut is smaller than the grain size of workpiece material. Since the micro-grinding wheel cuts through the grain boundaries, the crystallographic effects become more significant in the micro-grinding than that in macro-machining. To quantify the effect of crystallographic orientation on the flow stress of polycrystalline material, the Taylor factor model is developed by examining the number and type of the activated slip systems. Then, the shear force model is developed based on the flow stress model considering the effect of crystallographic orientation. Moreover, the plowing force is predicted based on the Vickers hardness of workpiece material and the plowing friction coefficient. A comprehensive model is then proposed to predict micro-grinding force by consolidating the mechanical, thermal, crystallographic, and size effect. Micro-grinding experiments adopting Taguchi’s method were conducted to verify the model, and the results indicated that the predictions agree well with the experimental data. Besides, single-factorial experiments were conducted with the only variable being Taylor factor and the results suggest that the Taylor factor model is capable of capturing the effect of crystallographic orientation on grinding force.

The crystallographic orientation distribution, and its change as a function of creep deformation in Ni-based single crystal superalloys have been investigated by X-ray diffractometry. The distribution of the crystallographic orientation has significantly broadened by creep deformations. Directional broadening of the distribution agrees with creep dislocations having the burgers vector of 1/2<101>. High temperature creep strain of superalloys can be estimated by a non-destractive test where the width of rocking curve of a diffraction peak is measured.

The presence of large microtextured clusters (MTC) composed of small α-phase crystallites with preferred crystallographic orientations in 3D printed near-α titanium alloys leads to poor mechanical and fatigue properties. It is therefore crucial to characterize the size of MTCs nondestructively. Ti6Al4V/B4C composite materials are manufactured using Laser Melting Deposition (LMD) technology by adding an amount of nano-sized B4C particles to the original Ti6Al4V powder. TiB and TiC reinforcements precipitating at grain boundaries stimulate the elongated α crystallites and coarse columnar MTCs to equiaxed transition, and microstructures composed of approximately equiaxed MTCs with different mean sizes of 11–50 μm are obtained. Theoretical models for scattering-induced attenuation and centroid frequency downshift of ultrasonic waves propagating in such a polycrystalline medium are presented. It is indicated that, the studied composite material has an extremely narrow crystallographic orientation distribution width, i.e., a strong degree of anisotropy in MTCs. Therefore, MTCs make a dominant contribution to the total scattering-induced attenuation and spectral centroid frequency downshift, while the contribution of fine α-phase crystallites is insignificant. Laser ultrasonic inspection is performed, and the correlation between laser-generated ultrasonic wave properties and microstructural properties of the Ti6Al4V/B4C composites is analyzed. Results have shown that the deviation between the experimentally measured ultrasonic velocity and the theoretical result determined by the Voigt-averaged velocity in each crystallite is no more than 2.23%, which is in good agreement with the degree of macroscopically anisotropy in the composite specimens. The ultrasonic velocity seems to be insensitive to the size of MTCs, while the spectral centroid frequency downshift is approximately linear to the mean size of MTCs with a goodness-of-fit (R2) up to 0.99. Actually, for a macroscopically untextured near-α titanium alloy with a relatively narrow crystallographic orientation distribution, the ultrasonic velocity is not correlated with the properties of MTCs, by contrast, the central frequency downshift is dominated by the size and morphology of MTCs, showing great potentials in grain size evaluation.
