Abstract Electrochemical grinding (ECG) is processed by the combination of dissolution and grinding. It is very suitable for the processing of difficult-to-cut stainless steel, but its processing performance is restricted by the matching effect of dissolution and grinding. In this work, the processing of the torus surfaces of the stainless steel shaver cap was taken as the research object. A flow field model including the through-hole structure and the rotation of the grinding head was proposed to optimize the flow field distribution and promote the uniform dissolution of materials. The flow field simulation results showed that the rotational flow formed by the high-speed rotation prolonged the electrolyte flow path and was not conducive to the discharge of electrolytic products, and the reasonable selection of the diameter and distribution of the through-hole could reduce the velocity difference. The effects of rotational speed, feed rate, and inlet pressure on the flatness and surface roughness of the torus surfaces were experimentally investigated, and a better matching effect of dissolution and grinding was obtained. Moreover, the experimental results showed that the inner-jet ECG had a good prospect in the batch processing of high-hardness stainless steel parts.

The impeller is key element that brings about negative pressure adsorption. The efficiency of the impeller will determine the adsorption capacity of robot. In this paper, physical model is built based on the theory of fluid dynamics by taking a common high speed rotation of impeller as a research object. The basic parameters and boundary conditions are set and a 3D fluid dynamic simulation is done based on FloEFD. The factors such as blade curve, rotational speed and air inlet velocity which have effect on surface flow field impeller are investigated. Then the results are shown by figures and the study analysis is carried on.

An experimental investigation is performed to analyze the flow characteristics of a turbine cavity system containing discharge holes installed in a rotating disk. The turbine cavity system is composed of a rotating disk and two stationary disks on both sides of the rotating disk. The air flow is induced into the upstream cavity, and then discharged into the downstream cavity through 8 discharge holes in the rotating disk. The flow field in each cavity at high-speed rotation of the rotor was measured by a three-dimensional LDV system. The measured flow field is analyzed to understand the flow structures, and further provide information for studying the heat transfer behaviors of the turbine disk system. The overall flow field in the upstream cavity shows a negligible axial velocity with a relatively small rotational velocity, less than 10% of the rotor speed. The downstream cavity flow has a high rotational velocity close to the rotational speed of the discharged jets, due to the direct circumferential momentum transfer from the discharged jets. The interaction between the discharged jet and the downstream stator disk induces an asymmetric development of the spreading wall jet, which results in a relative circumferential motion to the revolving discharged jet. The whole flow field in the downstream cavity is divided into several flow regions according to their features.

The flow field characteristics have a significant effect on the machining stability in high-speed small hole EDM drilling. Thus, Lagrangian discrete phase model (DPM) has been developed to simulate the gap liquid-solid two-phase flow field. The numerical calculation is based on the standard k-ε turbulent model, and the SIMPLEC algorithm is used in the simulation. All the governing equations are solved by software Fluent 6.2. Through numerical simulation, the pressure distribution, the velocity distribution of the dielectric liquid, traces of debris particles, and the debris particle concentration were obtained. The flow field characteristics under different pressures and drilling depths were obtained through simulations. Finally, experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of the flush velocity at exit obtained through simulation on material removal rate (MRR).

The instability of machining process caused by the difficulty of the electrolyte refresh in electrochemical micromachining (EMM) of micro through-hole has been an unsolved problem. Thus, this paper investigates the electrochemical micromachining of micro through-hole by using a micro helical electrode combining with the jetting electrolyte. With the help of high-speed rotation of micro helical electrode and its spiral shape, the internal electrolyte can be stirred while the external jetting electrolyte can flow into the hole along the spiral groove to refresh the electrolyte effectively, thereby, improving the machining stability of EMM. Firstly, the influence of the process parameters on the fabrication of micro through-hole in the EMM by using micro helical electrode without non-conductive mask is investigated. Based on the optimization of the process parameters, a micro through-hole with an inlet dimension of 121.6 μm and an outlet dimension of 114.9 μm is obtained successfully. Furthermore, this paper also tries to use the micro helical electrode coated with the non-conductive mask to decrease the bad influence of the stray corrosion attack. It is found that the non-conductive mask coated on the surface of micro helical electrode can improve the machining accuracy significantly under the condition of low pulse frequency (≤1 KHz). However, its good effect on preventing the stray corrosion decreases along with the increase of the pulse frequency.

Due to the complicated structure and the high speed turbulence, it is difficult to measure and analyze the flow field characteristics of the main nozzle by experimental methods, naturally, some software such as FLUENT become a powerful tool to perform the numerical simulation for flow field of the main nozzle of an air-jet loom. The distribution of the airflow velocity and static pressure along axial and radial direction in main nozzle were investigated. The results indicated that the airflow in the main nozzle was extremely complex, its velocity in throat could be sonic and a certain backflow was produced. The research results will play an important role on the structural parameters optimization and energy conservation.
