This work is on the preparation of microelectrodes for μ-EDM operation using μ-WEDG process. Electrodes of Ø500 μm are fabricated with various discharge energy machining conditions. Effects of gap voltage, capacitance & feed rate on the surface finish of the electrodes and overcut of the thus produced micro holes are investigated. The profile of microelectrodes is measured using surface roughness tester with 2μm stylus interfaced with SURFPAK software. The study demonstrated that for brass electrodes an arithmetic average roughness value as low as 1.7μm and an overcut of 3 µm could be achieved. The significant machining parameters are found using ANOVA. Surface of the produced microelectrodes are examined using Scanning Electron Microscope. μ-WEDG process parameters could be adjusted to achieve good surface integrity on microelectrodes. Experimental results showed that the surface roughness of microelectrodes depended primarily on feed rate of the electrode. The observations showed the clear and quantitative correlation existing between the micrometer level surface quality and process parameters. The resulting microelectrodes are found to be of exceptionally high quality and could be used for μ- EDM operation on different types of work materials.

Initial Solidification

In the continuous casting process, the shrinkage of the peritectic phase transition during the initial solidification process has an important influence on the surface quality of peritectic steel. The initial solidification process of 0.10C%, 0.14C%, and 0.16C% peritectic steels was observed in situ by a high temperature laser confocal microscope, and the contraction degree during initial solidification was characterized by surface roughness. The results showed that under the cooling rate of 20 °C/s, the surface roughness value Ra(δ/γ) of 0.10C% peritectic steel was 32 μm, the Ra(δ/γ) value of 0.14C% peritectic steel was 25 μm, and the Ra(δ/γ) value of 0.16C% peritectic steel was 17 μm. With increasing carbon content, the contraction degree of the δ→γ transformation decreased, and the value of the surface roughness Ra(δ/γ) declined. Therefore, surface roughness can characterize the contraction degree of the δ→γ transformation in the initial solidification process of peritectic steel under the condition of a large cooling rate.

Surface roughness is an important quality characteristic in grinding. Measurement of surface roughness by means of mechanical stylus is widely done in metrology. In this paper, a new machine vision system has been utilized to quantify the surface roughness of machined surfaces (ground and milled). Compared with other measurement methods, it is accurate, quick and credible. This system is mounted on the grinding machine and automates the measurement process by using computer control to automatically position the CCD and capture digital images of machined surfaces between grinding cycles. It was proposed that the proportional formula was used in calibrating this system, and calibration precision meets application requirement. Not only the statistic character of gray image but also which of edge image were calculated out. These characters include the mean value of pixels (Mean), standard deviation (σ), maximal value (Max) and minimal value (Min), the number of pixels on the examine line(Count), etc. It was found out that the standard deviation value σ of the gray image could express the surface roughness most. The correlation between σ and Ra is established by interpolating σ value used Lagrange interpolation law, and the σ value is converted into Ra value through the calculation procedure finally.

Novel Approach

Chatter phenomenon is a major issue as it greatly affects the topography of machined parts. Due to the inconsistent character of chatter, it is extremely difficult to predict resultant surface roughness in a machining process, such as end milling. Also, recent studies have shown that chatter can be suitably damped using magnetic fields. This paper, thus, focuses on a novel approach of minimizing surface roughness in end milling of Mild (Low Carbon) Steel using uncoated WC-Co inserts under magnetic field from permanent magnets. In this experiment, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach using DESIGN EXPERT 6.0 (DOE) software was used to design the experiments. The experiments were performed under two different cutting conditions. The first one was cutting under normal conditions, while the other was cutting under the application of magnetic fields from two permanent magnets positioned on opposite sides of the cutter. Surface roughness was measured using Mitutoyo SURFTEST SV-500 profilometer. The subsequent analysis showed that surface roughness was significantly reduced (by as much as 67.21%) when machining was done under the influence of magnetic field. The experimental results were then used to develop a second order empirical mathematical model equation for surface roughness and validated to 95% confidence level by using ANOVA. Finally, desirability function approach was used to optimize the surface roughness within the limiting values attainable in end milling.

An accurate measurement technique is required to fully characterize the losses observed at high frequencies in transmission lines. Evaluation of losses seen at high frequencies is necessary to meet the high-speed data transfer rates that future applications will demand. Conductor properties and losses are two critical issues in signal path characterization. The nature of conductor losses is not well understood at high speeds. Classical models used for predicting the effects of surface roughness on signal propagation are known to breakdown around 5 GHz. Novel methods are sought to quantify the effects beyond 5 GHz. In this paper, a simple methodology to extract conductor loss is derived and validated based on a stripline configuration of two different widths. The proposed methodology is applicable to surface roughness loss characterization of both organic and ceramic packaging materials.

This paper develops an enhanced inverse filtering-based methodology for drive-by frequency identification of bridges using smartphones for real-life applications. As the vibration recorded on a vehicle is dominated by vehicle features including suspension system and speed as well as road roughness, inverse filtering aims at suppressing these effects through filtering out vehicle- and road-related features, thus mitigating a few of the significant challenges for the indirect identification of the bridge frequency. In the context of inverse filtering, a novel approach of constructing a database of vehicle vibrations for different speeds is presented to account for the vehicle speed effect on the performance of the method. In addition, an energy-based surface roughness criterion is proposed to consider surface roughness influence on the identification process. The successful performance of the methodology is investigated for different vehicle speeds and surface roughness levels. While most indirect bridge monitoring studies are investigated in numerical and laboratory conditions, this study proves the capability of the proposed methodology for two bridges in a real-life scale. Promising results collected using only a smartphone as the data acquisition device corroborate the fact that the proposed inverse filtering methodology could be employed in a crowdsourced framework for monitoring bridges at a global level in smart cities through a more cost-effective and efficient process.

Metal Cutting based on cold air technology is a green manufacturing technology which has the potential of great application prospect. In order to study the influence of cold air technology on metal cutting characteristics, the experiment and FEM simulation of both 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel and 45 steel were performed under three cutting conditions. The results are analyzed to reveal that with cold air technology the temperature of cutting area can be effectively reduced and the tool life, surface roughness and the shape of chip can be significantly improved. The study on metal cutting with cold air technology based on simulation has a relatively high reliability, which provides a novel approach for the research on metal cutting with cold air technology.
