In order to achieve high-quality polishing of M300 mold steel curved surface, an elastic abrasive is introduced in this paper, and its polishing parameters are optimized so that the mirror roughness can be achieved. Based on the Preston equation and Hertz contact theory, the theoretical material removal equation for surface polishing of elastic abrasives is obtained, and the polishing parameters to be optimized are as follows: particle size S, rotational speed Wt, cutting depth Ap, and feed speed Vf. The Taguchi method is applied to design the orthogonal experiment with four factors and three levels. The influence degree of various factors on the roughness of the polished surface and the combination of parameters to be optimized were obtained by the range analysis method. The particle swarm optimization algorithm optimizes the BP neural network algorithm (PSO-BP), which is used to optimize the polishing parameters. The results show that the rotational speed has the greatest influence on the roughness, the influence degree of abrasive particle size is greater than that of feed speed, and the influence of cutting depth is the least. The optimum parameters are as follows: particle size S 1200#, rotational speed Wt 4500rpm, cutting depth Ap 0.25mm, and feed speed Vf 0.8mm/min. The roughness of the surface polishing with optimum parameters is reduced to 0.021 μm.

In order to achieve high quality polishing of a M300 mold steel curved surface, an elastic abrasive is introduced in this paper and its polishing parameters are optimized so that the mirror roughness can be achieved. Based on the Preston equation and Hertz Contact Theory, the theoretical material removal rate (MRR) equation for surface polishing of elastic abrasives is obtained. The effects of process parameters on MRR are analyzed and the polishing parameters to be optimized are as follows: particle size (S), rotational speed (Wt), cutting depth (Ap) and feed speed (Vf). The Taguchi method is applied to design the orthogonal experiment with four factors and three levels. The influence degree of various factors on the roughness of the polished surface and the combination of parameters to be optimized were obtained by the signal-to-noise ratio method. The particle swarm optimization algorithm optimized with the back propagation (BP) neural network algorithm (PSO-BP) is used to optimize the polishing parameters. The results show that the rotational speed has the greatest influence on the roughness, the influence degree of abrasive particle size is greater than that of feed speed, and cutting depth has the least influence. The optimum parameters are as follows: particle size (S) = #1200, rotational speed (Wt) = 4500 rpm, cutting depth (Ap) = 0.25 mm and feed speed (Vf) = 0.8 mm/min. The roughness of the surface polishing with optimum parameters is reduced to 0.021 μm.

Abstract Aerospace thin-walled parts have the characteristics of low stiffness and complex structure, which are easily deformed by machine tool vibration, cutting force and heat during machining. The traditional fixture is in point contact with the workpiece, and the workpiece bears uneven force, which results in poor surface quality and low precision of the part. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the machining efficiency and surface quality of workpiece. According to the performance of magnetorheological fluid, a magnetorheological flexible fixture is designed to completely wrap the parts so as to make them bear uniform force, improve the stiffness of the system and inhibit flutter. Firstly, the stiffness distribution of thin-walled parts, flexible fixtures and fixture-workpiece system is studied in this paper. It can be seen that the symmetrical center stiffness of magnetorheological flexible fixtures is relatively low. Through milling experiments with single process parameters, it is found that when the rotational speed, cutting depth and feed speed change, the composite clamping effect is better than the traditional clamping effect, in which with the increase of rotational speed, the vibration acceleration in Ax, Ay and Az directions decreases by 25.16%, 26.87% and 10.78% respectively; When the cutting depth increases, Ay decreases by 23.12% at the maximum. When the feed speed changes, it decreases by 15.78%. Finally, based on the case of milling thin-walled parts with magnetorheological flexible fixture, it is obtained that the coaxiality of composite clamped thin-walled parts decreases by 13.85%, and the maximum decrease of cylindricity is 36.73%. Roughness value Rz decreases by 80.47% at the maximum. In summary, the above results have verified that the machining quality of the magnetorheological flexible fixture is better.

Through the simulation of abrasive flow in the inner cavity of the superalloy pre-spinning nozzle made by additive manufacturing, the special abrasive polishing tool is optimized and the surface polishing technology of the inner cavity of typical structure test pieceis studied. Through comparison of the surface morphology before and after polishing, it can be concluded that the abrasive flow has a considerable removal effect on the powder sticking effect, spheroidizing effect, step effect, slag hanging phenomenon and residual support on the surface of parts, but it has a limited effect on the surface pit of the substrate. After polishing, the surface roughness of the inner cavity of parts decreasea from Ra 3.1397 μm to Ra 0.5805 μm, and the surface roughness of blade position decreases from Ra 4.8473 μm to Ra 0.3606 μm. Through the range analysis, it is found that the effect intensity of the processing parameters on the surface roughness of the parts is in order of the processing time, processing pressure and abrasive particle size.

The surface roughness of bamboo is a factor that determines the processing quality. The effects of spindle speed, feed speed, and cutting depth on the surface roughness of bamboo were studied using the orthogonal design test method. The results were analyzed using range analysis, main effect analysis, interaction analysis, and variance analysis to determine the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness of bamboo. The feed speed had a greater effect on the surface roughness of the bamboo in the tangential section; the spindle speed had a greater impact on the surface roughness of the bamboo in the cross section. The cutting depth had a greater impact on the surface roughness of the bamboo in the radial section. For the surface roughness on the tangential, cross, and radial sections of the bamboo, there was a relationship with the cutting parameters. A mathematical model for the analysis of surface roughness was established by response surface method. Also, contour and surface plots based on regression models showed the correlation between surface roughness and all possible pairwise combinations of three cutting parameter variables. The cutting technology with the best surface quality was determined by optimization analysis.

This study was aimed to increase granite's silica content using the leaching process with HCl concentration variation. The granite used in this study came from Lematang, South Lampung. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in HCl concentration, particle size, and rotational speed on the crystalline phase and chemical elements formed in the silica product produced from granite. The HCl concentration variations were 6.0 M, 7.2 M, 8.4 M, and 9.6 M, the variation in particle size used was 270 and 400 mesh. Variations in rotational speed during leaching were 500 and 750 rpm. Granite powder was calcined at 1000 ºC for 2 hours. Characterization was performed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP- OES). The results showed that the silica content increased with increasing HCl concentration, the finer the particle size, and the higher the rotational speed. XRF analysis showed that the silica with the highest purity was leached with 9.6 HCl with a particle size of 400 mesh and a rotational speed of of 750 rpm, which was 73.49%. Based on the results above, by leaching using HCl, the Si content can increase from before. The XRD diffractogram showed that the granite powder formed the Quartz phase.

This paper simulates the process of the high-neck flange closed rolling on DEFORM-3D and optimizes the rolling process parameter by analyzing the results based on the orthogonal experimental design. For the high-neck flange, the results show that the effects on ellipticity are in the order of the mandrel feed speed, the main roll rotational speed and initial blank temperature. The former two factors show the significance while the initial blank temperature does not show that.

Swirling Fluidized Bed Polishing (SFBP) is a non–traditional alternative abrasive flow surface finishing form of Fluidized Bed Machining (FBM) in which the former has special features to overcome certain significant limitations of the latter, namely the variation of the surface roughness vertically along the component surface and the screening effect owing to the complex contours in the work piece geometry. Owing to its ability to perform machining and generate polished surface from a roughness value of Ra 1.2μ to 0.2 μ within 8 hours of processing, this new method offers greater scope in the surface modification of rough machined surfaces with complex geometry such as component with ducts and grooves. This research focus on investigating the effect of abrasive particle concentration on metal removal rate per unit area of the specimen surface. 3D surface morphology analysis investigates the quality of the polished surface and the study of circumferential uniformity and machining accuracy analysis on a complex-contoured component further investigate its scope and relevance in industrial applications.

Abstract The world’s dependence on chemical fertilizer as the primary source for enriching agricultural fields is continually increasing that cause nature pollution. This has led researchers to aggressively investigate renewable fertilizer resources, biomass, to produce organic crops and reduced wastage. Poultry litter is a bulk solid and biomass feed stocks. Flow behavior of bulk solid is a critical factor in designing and developing suitable equipments (e.g. pelletizing machine). The bulk density, tap density, Carr’s index and powder avalanche time technique were applied to evaluate the flow properties of poultry litter. The experiments were carried out at moisture content (10, 20 and 30% w.b.), particle size (0.3, 0.6 and 1.18 mm) for the bulk and tap densities as well as Carr’s index. In addition to the moisture content (10, 20 and 30 %w.b.) and particle size (0.3, 0.6 and 1.18 mm) the rotational speed of drum (0.5, 1 and1.5 rpm) were also investigated for the avalanche time. The results showed that with increasing moisture content Carr’s index increased significantly (P<0.01) in the ranges of 16.2% to 18.5% and with increasing particle size the Carr’s index decreased from 20.35% to 14.78%. The litter powder avalanche time (AT) increased significantly (P<0.01) with increasing moisture content and decreasing rotational speed and particle size. The bulk and tap densities of the litter powder was decreased with increasing moisture content and increasing the particle size. The bulk and tap densities of the driest and finest poultry litter sample were higher than other ones.

Superfine ground calcium carbonate (GCC) produced by carbonate minerals is a widely used inorganic powder material. In order to get a finer GCC powder with narrow distribution span, the effect of rotational speed and media density on ground GCC were studied by dry grinding GCC in a planetary ball mill under different rotational speed and various media density. The grinding limit-particle size and distribution of grinding calcium carbonate were measured by centrifugal sedimentation granulometer. The structure of GCC was measured by X-ray diffraction. The result shows that low rotational speed and high-density media is conducive to get a product with smaller particle size and narrow size distribution; crystal plane (012) and (122) are more stable than (018) and (116).
