Abstract Electrolyte jet electrochemical turning is an effective method to realize high-quality machining of titanium alloy rotating components; however, minimal research has been carried out in this field. This is because it is difficult to control the machining flow field, which leads to poor machining surface quality. In this work, numerical simulations were used to optimize the machining flow field and reduce the proportion of gas that mixed into the machining area. This can promote participation of the tool electrode tip in the electrochemical reaction and improve the machining efficiency. The effectiveness of the optimized machining flow field for jet electrochemical turning was verified experimentally. The results showed that all three kinds of revolving TB6 titanium alloy samples with different structures could maintain the original contour shape, with a contour error <1% and a machined surface roughness reaching Ra 2.414 μm. The results demonstrate the application potential of the jet electrochemical turning process.

Turning cutting tool with large length–diameter ratio has been essential when machining structural part with deep cavity and in-depth hole features. However, chatter vibration is apt to occur with the increase of tool overhang. A slender turning cutting tool with a length–diameter ratio of 7 is developed by using a vibration absorber equipped with piezoelectric ceramic. The vibration absorber has dual functions of vibration transfer to the absorber mass and vibration conversion to the electrical energy via the piezoelectric effect. Equations of motion are established considering the dual damping from the piezoelectric ceramic and rubber gasket. The equivalent damping of piezoelectric ceramic is derived, and the geometries are optimized to achieve optimal vibration suppression. The modal analysis demonstrates that the cutting tool with the vibration absorber can reach 80.1% magnitude reduction. Machining tests are carried out in the end. The machining acceleration and machined surface roughness validate the vibration suppression of the VA, and the output voltage by the piezoelectric ceramic demonstrates the ability of vibration sensing.

Titanium alloy Ti1023 is a typical difficult-to-cut material. Tool wear is easy to occur in machining Ti1023, which has a significant negative effect on surface integrity. Turning is one of the common methods to machine Ti1023 parts and machined surface integrity has a direct influence on the fatigue life of parts. To control surface integrity and improve anti-fatigue behavior of Ti1023 parts, it has an important significance to study the influence of tool wear on the surface integrity and fatigue life of Ti1023 in turning. Therefore, the effect of tool wear on the surface roughness, microhardness, residual stress, and plastic deformation layer of Ti1023 workpieces by turning and low-cycle fatigue tests were studied. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of surface integrity on anti-fatigue behavior also was analyzed. The experimental results show that the change of surface roughness caused by worn tools has the most influence on anti-fatigue behavior when the tool wear VB is from 0.05 to 0.25 mm. On the other hand, the plastic deformation layer on the machined surface could properly improve the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens that were proved in the experiments. However, the higher surface roughness and significant surface defects on surface machined utilizing the worn tool with VB = 0.30 mm, which leads the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens to decrease sharply. Therefore, to ensure the anti-fatigue behavior of parts, the value of turning tool wear VB must be rigorously controlled under 0.30 mm during finishing machining of titanium alloy Ti1023.

In this work, cutting experiments were carried out on titanium alloy Ti6Al4V by using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools to investigate the effects of the tool geometries and cutting parameters on machined surface roughness. Experimental results show machined surface roughness decreases with increases in the flank angle, tool nose radius and cutting speed within a limited range respectively, and begins to increase as the factors reaches to certain values respectively. And machined surface roughness decreases with increases in feed rate and cutting depth respectively.

Although WEDM is one of the most precise finishing technologies, deviations from the required geometric shapes and surface roughness occur in the production of parts with rotary surfaces. Even though these shortcomings have only a minimal impact on planar cuts, the production of circular profiles is a different problem. One of the factors causing this poor quality is the vibration of the wire electrode. With appropriate vibration adjustment, it would be possible to achieve significant improvements of the eroded area quality, both in terms of geometric accuracy and in terms of surface roughness. This would significantly increase quality, enabling WEDM technology to compete with other technologies in terms of economic efficiency. Therefore, the proposed solution aims to provide a partial adjustment to the wire tool electrode vibrations, based on their sensing by the means of acoustic emissions or a laser beam, with subsequent dynamic adjustment of the actual technological parameter values. This way, the given solution will increase the production accuracy of circular holes, increase productivity, and ultimately provide an overall increase in the economic efficiency of the WEDM process. The article also presents the scheme of a control algorithm for monitoring and subsequent adjustments of the vibrations of the wire tool electrode during the electroerosion process in order to minimize geometric deviations of circularity, cylindricity and roughness of the machined surface.

The article compares two cutting edge preparation methods and their influence on the machined surface roughness of the difficult to cut nickel alloy Inconel 718 and the tool wear of cutting inserts made of cemented carbide. The manufacturing and preparation process of cutting inserts used in the experiment were made by Dormer Pramet. The preparation methods used in the experiment were drag finishing and brushing. Cutting parameters did not change during the whole turning process to maintain the same conditions in each step of the process and were determined based on tests for a semi-finishing operation of the turning process. To obtain durability of 25 to 30 minutes with controlled development of the tool wear the cutting parameters were determined with cooperation with the cutting inserts manufacturer.
