The kinematical behavior of 5-axis machine tool introduced by toolpath calculation has a close relation with processing efficiency and quality of parts. For the category of sculptured surface parts with abrupt curvature, such as turbine blade and fixed guide vane, the most commonly utilized spiral contouring toolpath modes usually encounter some trouble during actual machining, the reason lies in the difficult tool orientation control near the edge of such parts. However, the global optimization for the spiral toolpath means increased computation burden, and so it is time consuming. In this paper, an efficient 5-axis toolpath optimization algorithm is presented, and the objective is to smooth the rotary axes’ motion caused by drastically changed tool orientation on spiral toolpath for abrupt curvature parts machining. To reduce the computation burden, only path segments on the spiral trajectory-owned weak kinematic performance are selected for further optimizing. To obtain smoother motion for rotary axes, the specific optimization computation for the selected path segments is conducted in the Machine Coordinate System (MCS) instead of the Part Coordinate System (PCS). The optimization model is constructed and a related solution method is presented to ensure the high-performance optimization. The complete optimization algorithm is demonstrated on a spiral 5-axis toolpath for the turbine blade finish machining, and the result shows that only 25.9% optimization computation is needed compared with global optimization algorithm. And then, the actual machining experiments are carried out by using paraffin as cut material, and the machining time with optimized toolpath is decreased by 19.7% compared with initial toolpath. In addition, the surface quality of parts is significantly improved after conducting the optimization. This study proves that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the processing efficiency and surface quality of parts with abrupt curvature and provides an efficient method to optimize the spiral 5-axis toolpath used for finish machining parts with abrupt curvature.

Abstract 12CrNi2 alloy steel was prepared by Laser Melting Deposition (LMD) technology, and the effect of powder feeding rate on surface quality, internal defects, microstructure, and microhardness of the single track and manufactured part were investigated. The results show that the metallurgical bonding of the single track deteriorates, the surface quality of the manufactured part is improved, the average microhardness of the manufactured part increases, and the number of pores first decreases and then increases with the increase of powder feeding rate. At the lower powder feeding rate, the manufactured parts have larger pore defects, while at the higher powder feeding rate, the manufactured parts have poor fusion defects. The main phase composition of the manufactured parts is ferrite(F), granular bainite (GB), and pearlite(P), and the manufactured part has finer grains at the higher powder feeding rate.

Pattenless Casting Manufacturing (PCM) technique is a kind of Rapid Prototyping based on droplet injection, using discrete nozzle to jet the catalyst. The quality of scanning lines has the most important effect on the sand strength, its surface quality and dimensional accuracy. The penetration and curing rules of the catalyst in the resined-sand particles are the main factors to determine the shape of the scanning lines. In order to study the penetration rules of the catalyst in the resined-sand, the penetration process of a single droplet and scanning lines are analyzed theoretically and verified by experiments. The important parameters of the forming process are determined based on the research and experimental results. It will provide the foundation to improve the forming quality of PCM technique.

Abstract At present, hollow axles with constant hole diameter is mainly formed by turning thick-walled hollow tubes. This method of processing has low material utilization and processing efficiency. And heat treatment is required to improve the mechanical properties of hollow axles. To improve the material utilization and processing efficiency of hollow axles with constant hole diameter during the forming process, a new processing technique, three-roll skew rolling process, is proposed to form a hollow axles with constant hole diameter in this paper. The three-roll skew rolling process is a continuous plastic forming process, which has high material utilization and processing efficiency, and it can improve the mechanical properties of the rolled parts. Firstly, combining the working principle of three-roll skew rolling and the structural characteristics of hollow axles with constant hole diameter, the forming mechanism of hollow axles with constant hole diameter by three-roll skew rolling is described. Secondly, the finite element model of the hollow axles with constant hole diameter by three-roll skew rolling is established according to the dimensions of the hollow axles with constant hole diameter, the material characteristics of the hollow axles, and the stable rolling conditions of three-roll skew rolling. The process parameters of the hollow axles are also determined. Thirdly, according to each step position of the hollow axles, the forming process of the hollow axles with constant hole diameter by three-roll skew rolling is divided into 5 deformation stages. Lastly, the stress and strain field of each deformation stage of the hollow axles was analyzed. The results show that the dimensions of the hollow axles with constant hole diameter by three-roll skew rolling are very close to the designed dimensions, which indicates that the material utilization of the rolled hollow axles is very high. Along the rolling direction, the descending step of the hollow axle is easier to form than the ascending step, and the forming quality is also better. The surface metal of the rolled hollow axles flows faster than the internal metal. Areas with large stress and strain are mainly concentrated at both ends of the rolled hollow axles. And the magnitude of stress and strain gradually decrease from the surface to the center. The hollow axles with constant hole diameter by three-roll skew rolling has a good forming quality and high forming efficiency. The hollow axles with constant hole diameter is formed by three-roll skew rolling process, which has broad application prospects.
