In manufacturing, honing is used to meet high demands on shape and dimensional accuracy, surface quality, as well as tribological properties. In particular, honing of workpieces with bore holes in various positions and angles represents a challenge. With the help of a 6-axis industrial robot, a W-shaped compressor body was machined and experimental results were compared with results produced by a machining center.

Das Fertigungsverfahren Honen kommt zur Anwendung, wenn an Bauteile hohe Anforderungen hinsichtlich Form- und Maßgenauigkeit, Oberflächenqualität sowie tribologische Eigenschaften gestellt werden. Insbesondere das Honen von Bauteilen mit Bohrungen in verschiedenen Positionen und Winkellagen stellt eine Herausforderung dar. Mithilfe eines 6-Achs-Industrieroboters wurde ein Verdichtergehäuse in W-Bauform bearbeitet. Anschließend wurden die Arbeitsergebnisse mit konventionell gefertigten Bauteilen verglichen.   In manufacturing, honing is used to meet high demands on shape and dimensional accuracy, surface quality, as well as tribological properties.

Electrochemical finishing with pulsed current (ECFP) is introduced in this paper. The main process parameters, such as electric parameter and inter-electrode gap, etc., were investigated. The results show that the ECFP is an effective finishing method for improving the machining quality as the result of the machining mechanism. The related experimental results show that the obtained surface quality and dimensional accuracy are improved significantly as the result of the application of the pulsed current. Moreover, machining quality is increased with shorter pulses.

Background: As an important method of remanufacturing, laser cladding can be used to obtain the parts with specific shapes by stacking materials layer by layer. The formation mechanism of laser cladding determines the “Staircase effect”, which makes the surface quality can hardly meet the dimensional accuracy of the parts. Therefore, the subsequent machining must be performed to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of cladding parts. Methods: In this paper, chip formation, cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear, surface quality, and optimization of cutting parameters in the subsequent cutting of laser cladding layer are analyzed. Scholars have expounded and studied these five aspects but the cutting mechanism of laser cladding need further research. Results: The characteristics of cladding layer are similar to that of difficult to machine materials, and the change of parameters has a significant impact on the cutting performance. Conclusion: The research status of subsequent machining of cladding layers is summarized, mainly from the aspects of chip formation, cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear, surface quality, and cutting parameters optimization. Besides, the existing problems and further developments of subsequent machining of cladding layers are pointed out. The efforts are helpful to promote the development and application of laser cladding remanufacturing technology.

To furthermore optimize the machining parameters and improve the surface quality of the workpieces manufactured by single point incremental forming method, the formation mechanism of the sacle veins on the metal incremental froming workpieces was studied through experiment method. The influence principle of the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tip of tools on the length of scale veins was obtained through analyzing the experimental results and building the mathematical model among the length of scale veins were feed speed and spindle speed through measuring the roughness of surfaces and observing the appearance of the forming workpieces. The experimental results showed that, the spindle speed, the feed speed and the material of tool tips have a significant effect on the scale veins formation on the surface of forming workpieces. Therefore, an appropriate group of spindle speed and feed speed can reduce the effect of scale veins on the roughness of single point incremental forming workpieces and furthermore improve the surface quality of forming workpieces.

Abstract Sintering process is essential to acquire the final components by stereolithography (SLA), which is a promising additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of complex, custom-designed dental implants. 3Y-ZrO2 ceramics at different sintering behaviors in air atmosphere were successfully obtained in this study. Firstly, the curing properties of homemade pastes were studied, and the penetration depth and critical exposure of the pastes were calculated as 17.2 μm and 4.80 mJ/cm2, respectively. The green ceramic parts were performed at 154 mW laser power and 6000 mm/s scanning speed. Then, the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical properties of 3Y-ZrO2 ceramics were investigated. The shrinkages of length, width, and height were 26%~27 %, 30%~31 %, and 27%~33 % in sintered ceramics, respectively. The Ra values of XOY, YOZ, and XOZ surfaces showed an anisotropic feature, and they were smallest as 0.52 μm, 2.40 μm, and 2.46 μm, respectively. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties presented a similar trend that they grew first and then dropped at various sintering behaviors. The optimal parameters were 1500 ℃, 60 min, and 4 ℃/min, and the maximum relative density of 96.18 %, Vickers hardness of 12.45 GPa, and fracture toughness of 6.35 MPa·m1/2 were achieved. Finally, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis demonstrated that no change was observed in crystal transformation and phase composition, and the organic was completely removed in sintered ceramics. This research is expected to provide a technical guide for the fabrication of ceramics for dental implants using SLA technique.

With cold forging processes it is possible to produce parts characterized by high strength, high dimensional accuracy and high surface quality. In order to optimize the forming process and to be able to use the advantages of cold forging specifically and combined, it is necessary to find correlations between manufacturing parameters on the one side, strength and other properties like hardness distribution and surface quality of the component on the other side. The research work covered in this paper focuses on the correlation of the components properties influenced by its manufacturing history and their fatigue strength. The used component is a gear produced by a lateral cold forging process. For the investigations an experimental setup has been designed. The aim for the design of the setup is to reproduce the real contact condition for the contact of two gears. To obtain different component properties the production process of the gear was varied by producing the parts by a milling operation. First of all, the components’ properties, for example hardness distribution, remaining residual stresses, orientation of fibers and surface quality, were determined. The components’ fatigue behavior was determined using a high frequency pulsator and evaluated in terms of finite life fatigue strength and fatigue endurance limit. These examinations were used to produce Woehler curves for the differently manufactured components with a certain statistical data analysis method.
