Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has been attracting attention as a new manufacturing method, but a surface finishing process is usually needed to improve the surface quality. As a new surface finishing process, ultrasonic vibration-assisted burnishing (UVAB) is promising. In this study, UVAB was performed on an additive-manufactured AlSi10 Mg workpiece to improve its surface/subsurface integrity. The effects of ultrasonic vibration (UV) and lateral tool pass width on the burnishing performance were investigated. It was observed that the surface roughness, filling ratio, and hardness of the surface layer were simultaneously improved after burnishing. This study shows the effectiveness of applying UVAB to improve the surface quality of additive-manufactured products for various industrial uses.

Metal Additive

Metal additive manufacturing has found broad applications in diverse disciplines. Post processing to homogenize and improve surface finishing remains a critical challenge to additive manufacturing. We propose a novel one-stop solution of adopting hybrid metal 3D printing to streamlining the additive manufacturing workflow as well as to improve surface roughness quality of selective interior surface of the printed parts. This work has great potential in medical and aerospace industries where complicated and high-precision additive manufacturing is anticipated.

It has been one of the difficulties that high-precision small hole on stainless steel is machined. The supersonic vibration boring acoustic system is installed in the lathe. The supersonic wave energy applies to tool to create pulse power on the cutting process. The separation vibration cutting is achieved by the pulse force. The comparative tests on boring surface quality are carried. The quality of surface machined by this method is compared to that by grinding. This cutting is the green cutting. The boring process system is stability. The cutting force is greatly reduced. The cutting temperature is at room temperature. The tool life is greatly increased. Surface quality and shape precision is greatly improved. The regulations of the ultrasonic vibration boring dry cutting of stainless steel are also summarized. The test results show that the ultrasonic vibration boring by double cutter is of very superior cutting mechanism and is a high-precision thin - long deep - hole machining of stainless steel materials, efficient cutting methods.

Precision Finishing

Fluid magnetic abrasive (FMA) is a new precision finishing process. It has the capability of processing free shape surfaces and complex cavities. Due to its strong adjustability and controllability, FMA could be regarded as the final process of machining which could greatly improve the surface quality of workpiece. The paper first introduces the component and machining mechanism of FMA, secondly it describes the model of the material removal in the process, thirdly it presents the devices of FMA polishing. At the end, a grinding head tool based machining mode is proposed for realizing the polishing of internal cavity.
