The aerostatic guidance is used as a super precision positioning device in the fields of semiconductor production and measurement machine, and its performance is expected to be improved. Although the study on the small guidance clearance region by which the high positioning precision may be expected is very important, there is almost no research papers published in this area to date. The purpose of this study is to enhance the calculation accuracy in the region of which the guidance clearance is comparatively small in the aerostatic guidance design. This is accomplished by considering the influence of the cutting surface roughness upon the air flow. More specifically, the amount of air flux passing through the orifice which is principal constituent of an aerostatic guidance is calculated in two separated parts. One part is the calculation done on the boundary layer flow whereas the other part on the potential flow. In this case, the calculation of the boundary layer flow is attempted using a theory in which the surface roughness is taken into account. That is, the calculation is done based on a virtual cylinder which has the same area as that of the rough inner surface of the orifice calculated based on the measured result of the surface roughness of an orifice cut surface. The truth inner surface area is calculated from the inspection result of the inner surface roughness measured by using a 3D surface roughness measuring machine. Through this method, the velocity distribution in the boundary layer is made clear where the diameter of the orifice is comparatively small, and a technique for calculating intrarubular flow is newly established. In addition, experimental apparatus to evaluate this theoretical calculation were designed and produced to confirm the flow characteristics and the load characteristic of the squeeze structure used in this study. As a result, the boundary layer velocity in the small diameter orifice which plays an important role in obtaining a high static rigidity and the pressure of the downstream side of the orifice can be calculated with precision. Thus, an attempt is made to improve the calculation precision of static rigidity in the small guidance clearance region where a high positioning precision can be expected. All of these calculation results are in a fairly good agreement with the experimental results.

Drawing Method

The manufacture of tubes by a fixed mandrel drawing is one of the technologies in the manufacture of seamless tubes. This is the oldest tube drawing method. It uses a mandrel at the end of the die to shape the internal diameter of the tube. This process is slow and the area reductions are limited (lengths of tubes are limited), but it gives the best inner surface finish of any of the processes. The use of a fixed mandrel by the drawing of small-diameter tubes makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the inner surface and improve the quality. The paper presents the results of solving a partial task in this area. It deals with the reconstruction of the microgeometry of the inner surface of a tube drawn by a fixed mandrel. Tubes (STN 41 1353) were drawn through dies with different reduction angles. There were grounds the straight and spiral grooves on used fixed mandrels. On the inner surface of the tube were formed grooves after drawn that had a different surface roughness compared to the mandrel surface. The paper graphically presents the morphology of obtained surfaces under various conditions (reduction angles, straight/spiral grooves on the fixed mandrel) as well as measured surface roughness values. At the end of the paper, the knowledge gained through experimental research are summarized.

This paper presents the study to investigate the effects of binder ratio, in-gate length and pouring height on hardness, surface roughness and casting defects of sand casting process. Taguchi methodology with L9 orthogonal array was employed to design the experimentation. Sand casting of six blade impeller using A356 alloy was performed and empirical models for all the above response measures were formulated. Confirmatory tests and analysis of variance results confirmed the accuracy of the model. Binder ratio was found to be the most significant parameter affecting casting surface defects and surface roughness. This was followed by pouring height and in-gate length.

The method of imparting ultrasonic vibration to the cutting tool is known to improve the shape accuracy and finished surface roughness. However, a uniform evaluation of this function in drilling has not been achieved, and the cutting process cannot be checked from the outside. The aim of this study is to investigate the cutting characteristics in deep hole drilling when an ultrasonic vibrator on the table of a machining center provides vibration with a frequency of 20 kHz to the work piece. The ultrasonic vibrations in this system reach the maximum amplitude in the center of the work material. We evaluated the change in finished surface roughness between the section where drilling starts to the point of maximum amplitude with ultrasonic vibration. The main cutting conditions are as follows: cutting speed (V) 12.6 (mm/min); feed rate (s) 30, 60 (mm/rev); depth of cut (t) = 32 (mm); work material, tool steel; cutting tool material, HSS; point angle (σ) 118 (°); and drill diameter (φ) 4 (mm). Lubricant powder was also added to clarify the cutting effect, and compared the condition in which there was no ultrasonic vibration. The results showed that surface roughness at the point of maximum amplitude was better than that with no vibration.

Abstract Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of metallic components is unlocking new design options for high efficiency gas turbine component designs not possible by conventional manufacturing technologies. Surface roughness is a key characteristic of LPBF components that impacts heat transfer correlations and crack initiation from co-located surface defects — both are critical for gas turbine component durability and performance. However, even for a single material, there is an increasing diversity in laser machines (single vs multi-laser), layer thicknesses (∼20–80 microns) and orientations to the build plate (upskin, vertical and downskin) that result in significant variability in surface roughness. This study systematically compares the surface roughness across the above-mentioned variables to further develop a repeatable correlation of surface roughness to the angle between the substrate normal and laser incidence direction. This presented data will be discussed in detail, to show potential applicability of this process signature curve across materials, machines, and substrate orientations. Future steps to a rapid process qualification standard for surface roughness, across Siemens Energy’s global manufacturing footprint will also be discussed.

Cyclic internal oil pressure fatigue tests were carried out on medium-diameter ERW pipes of API 5LX - X60 in an attempt to determine the influence of surface defects on the fatigue strength. Experimental factors investigated were the depth and location of internal surface notch in relation to the axis of pipe. The specimen was subjected to cyclic internal pressure, the cyclic rate being 0.3–0.5 Hz. During the test, Acoustic Emission (AE) techniques were applied to detect the fatigue crack initiation. Along with the aforementioned fatigue tests, pulsating tension fatigue tests were carried out on specimens with the same surface notches as the cyclic internal pressure fatigue test specimen.
