In this paper, the micro-scale grinding processes of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) using electro-hydro-dynamic (EHD) spray with nanofluid and compressed air are experimentally investigated. In the experiments, specific micro-grinding forces and surface roughness of the ground workpiece are quantitatively analyzed as a function of nanofluid’s concentration and size of nanoparticles. In addition, the ground surface quality is qualitatively investigated by comparing the optical microscopic images. The experimental results show the effectiveness of EHD spraying with nanofluid and compressed air for reducing the specific micro-grinding forces and enhancing ground surface quality.

This paper addresses the optimization of a micro-grinding process using compressed air to minimize specific grinding forces and surface roughness while maximizing specific material removal rate (MRR). The design-of-experiments (DOE) approach and response surface methodology (RSM) are introduced to obtain the optimal grinding conditions. In the DOE approach, a central composite design approach is used for experimental design. Micro-grinding experiments are conducted, and the experimental results are used to obtain response surface models of specific grinding forces and surface roughness in terms of depth of cut, feed rate and air temperature. Multi-objective optimization is then conducted by introducing desirability functions, and the optimal values of depth of cut, feed rate and air temperature are obtained for minimum specific grinding forces and surface roughness and maximum specific MRR. The experimental results under the optimal grinding conditions are similar to those estimated from the response surface models, and thus the validity of the models is verified.

A new method for laser milling of Al2O3 ceramic based on deteriorative layer controlled is presented in which no assistant gas was used during the laser milling. The new milling technology is developed by means of laser scanning of ceramic surface and forming a deteriorative layer directly. Laser milling parameters are determined through crystal phase’s analysis of the deteriorative layer. The laser milling depth, surface quality, and milling mechanism with different milling parameters were studied systematically on an Nd: YAG CNC laser and multi-layer laser milling experiments were also conducted with optimized processes on the surface of Al2O3 ceramic workpiece. Therefore, the practical experimental results are that each depth of layer milling is between 0.35-0.5 mm and the surface roughness of laser milling reaches to Ra 2-3.2μm. The experimental study has thus provided deeper understanding on laser milling technology for Al2O3 ceramic both in theory and application.

The development of grinding wheels that are capable of improving the grinding accuracy and the finished surface roughness via the grinding process is increasingly sought in industries. The refinement of grinding wheels comprising abrasive grains is an effective means of improving the ground surface quality. The general methods used for fabricating grinding wheels tend to facilitate the aggregation of fine abrasive grains, resulting in poor abrasive distribution. Therefore, we focused on the electro-spinning mode of Patterning with Electrostatically Injected Droplet (PELID), which is capable of forming micro resin fibers. Subsequently, we attempted to fabricate fibrous grinding wheels containing abrasive grains by using the twin nozzle PELID technique that applies this mode. We confirmed through experiments that resin fibers containing abrasive grains can be manufactured efficiently using PELID and succeeded in manufacturing fibrous grinding wheels containing abrasive grains.

In this paper, grinding experiments on the machining of SiCp/Al composites using SiC grinding wheel have been carried out. The effect of the grinding parameters on the grinding forces, surface morphology and surface roughness were evaluated. The results indicate that the grinding depth has more significant effect on the grinding force than that of feed speed, and there are many fracture or crushed SiC particles on the ground surface. Therefore, the SiC wheels can be used for rough grinding of SiCp/Al composites.

This paper deals with cutting ability of progressive Norton Quantum grinding wheel during grinding roll bearing steel 100Cr6 of hardness 61 HRC. Cutting ability of this wheel is compared with conventional grinding wheel and based on measurement of grinding forces as well as surface roughness. Results of experiments show that Norton Quantum grinding wheels are capable of long term grinding cycles at high removal rates without unacceptable occurrence of grinding chatter and surface burn whereas application of conventional wheel can produce excessive vibration and remarkable temper colouring of ground surface. Moreover, while Norton Quantum grinding wheel gives nearly constant grinding forces and surface roughness within ground length at higher removal rates, conventional grinding wheel (as that reported in this study) does not.

In this paper, metal-bonded diamond wheels of different sized abrasive grain with different porosity were fabricated. Grinding experiments with these wheels on three kinds of materials were carried out under different grinding conditions. Experimental results revealed that wheel with high porosity (38%) had smaller grinding forces and specific energy than the one with a medium porosity (24%) on grinding G603. However, on grinding harder materials like Red granite or ceramics of Al2O3, the wheel with 38% porosity had bigger grinding forces and specific energy than the wheel with 24% porosity. Both wheels exhibited good self-sharpening capability during the grinding process of G603 and Red granite, but on grinding ceramics of Al2O3 the wheel with 38% porosity displayed in dull state during the grinding process . With the same porosity, the grinding forces of the wheel with a grain size of 230/270 US mesh were lower than the one with a grain size of W10 when grinding Red granite and ceramics of Al2O3. However revising results were obtained on grinding G603.

The experiments were carried out in the paper to investigate the effect of adding hydrogen in titanium alloy TC4 on its machinability. The hydrogen contents selected were 0, 0.25%, 0.49%, 0.63%, 0.89% and 1.32%, respectively. Experiments with varing hydrogen contents and cutting conditions concurrently. Experimental results showed that the cutting force of the titanium alloy can be obviously reduced and the surface roughness can be improved by adding appropriate hydrogen in the material. In the given cutting condition, the titanium alloy TC4 with 0.49% hydrogen content showed better machinability.

The three-dimensional vibratory strengthening and polishing technology was used to strengthen and polish aeroengine blades with complicated surfaces. At first, the principle of the strengthening and polishing process was introduced, which combined strengthening process with polishing process. Then, the technological parameters influenced on the surface quality were investigated. The principal variables were the media hardness, the frequency and amplitude of the vibration, and duration of the vibratory strengthening and polishing. The optimum parameters were obtained. Experimental results revealed that, after strengthening and polishing, the surface roughness of aeroengine blades was reduced from Ra0.35-0.5μm to Ra0.1-0.12μm, and fatigue strength was increased by approximately 50%.
