This research evaluated the planing performance of bamboo scrimber boards at three feed speeds and three cutting depths and used two methods to assess the finished surfaces. A macroscopic grade assessment was made according to ASTM D 1666-87 for visible planing defects. The other assessment was a microscopic scale roughness test measuring surface average roughness in terms of GB/T 12472. The visible results showed that the finished surface quality of bamboo resulted mainly in Grades and , with the main defect being torn grain. The two evaluations method showed consistent results in surface quality that the highest percentage of Grade was counted and the lowest roughness value occurred. Compared with the hardwood Sawtooth oak widely used in furniture industry in China, planning quality of bamboo scrimber board is better in terms of roughness.

Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an additive manufacturing process highly adaptable to medium to large sized components with bulky structures as well as thin walls. Low surface quality of as-deposited LMD manufactured components with average roughness values (Ra) around 15-20μm is one of the main drawbacks that prevent the use of the part without the implementation of costly and time-consuming post-processes. In this work laser re-melting is applied right after LMD process with the use of the same equipment used for the deposition to treat AISI 316L thin walled parts. The surface quality improvement is assessed through the measurement of both areal surface roughness Sa(0.8mm) QUOTE and waviness Wa QUOTE (0.8mm) parameters. Moreover, roughness power spectrum is used to point out the presence of principal periodical components both in the as-deposited and in the re-melted surfaces. Then, the transfer function is calculated to better understand the effects of laser re-melting on the topography evolution, measuring the changes of individual components contributing to the surface roughness such as the layering technique and the presence of sintered particles. Experiments showed that while low energy density inputs are not capable to properly modify the additive surface topography, excessive energy inputs impose a strong periodical component with wavelength equal to the laser scan spacing and directionality determined by the used strategy. When a proper amount of energy density input is used, laser re-melting is capable to generate smooth isotropic topographies without visible periodical surface structures.

Wood sanding is one of the most expensive processes in the woodworking industry, and little is known about the factors that influence the final quality of wooden parts. For this reason, studies involving different wood treatments, such as thermal treatment, have been developed to produce better surface qualities. The objective of this work was to verify the influence of thermal treatment of the wood species Corymbia citriodora before the sanding process on the surface quality of the wood pieces. The surface finishes of the sanded natural and heat-treated wood were compared. Sanding was performed using two sandpaper grades, 80 mesh and 120 mesh, with abrasive grains of aluminum oxide. The sanding process was performed by flat horizontal sanding parallel to the fibers. Six specimens were used for each sandpaper grade. Initially the specimens were heat-treated at 120 °C, 160 °C, and 200 °C for 2 h, and then they were subjected to sanding. For the analysis of the surface quality of the wood pieces, the average roughness was used. From the obtained results, it was concluded that the heat treatment considerably reduced the roughness of the wood for both sandpaper grit sizes, and it facilitated the final finishing of the wood pieces.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the surface quality of experimentally manufactured wood plastic composite (WPC) samples exposed to water soaking. Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.), which is one of the invasive species in Oklahoma, USA, and recycled plastic were used to manufacture WPC samples. Three types of samples, namely with 0%, 3% and 6% nano-clay were soaked in water for up to one month. Stylus-type equipment was employed to evaluate their surface roughness as a function of water exposure. Two accepted roughness parameters, average roughness (Ra) and mean peak-to-valley (Rz), were used to determine changes in the surface quality of the specimens due to water exposure. Average roughness values of 1.5 µm and 4.1 µm were determined for the samples with no clay in dry conditions and those soaked for one month in water, respectively. Corresponding values were lower in the case of those with clay in their content. Based on the findings in this work, it appears that the stylus technique can be successfully applied to such samples to quantitatively evaluate their surface quality when they are exposed to water for an extended time span. It is expected that data from this work could help to produce a better understanding of the behavior of WPCs under environmental conditions.

The final quality of machining is directly a function of the type of machine used. The geometrical and micro quality geometrical of finished surface are one of the principal goals of machining. During the operation of turning, in particular, the elastic behaviour of the pin controls the surface quality machined. To say that the rigidity of the machine must be largest possible is not sufficient. The design of the axes of movement of the machine must take account of the effects static, kinematics, dynamic of the mass. The rigidity and the conditions of maintenance by the stages must be qualified in comparison with the results sought in term of machined surface quality. To characterize the effect of the vibrations of the machine tools on the quality of the machined surfaces a study was undertaken on two different lathes, a conventional turn and a turn with numerical control. The results of roughness show that the machine tool exploits a great role the machined surface quality. The rigidity of the machine and its capacities damping are prevalent factors to have a good surface quality.To this end the choice of a thing rigid and damping tool is essential for any trial run and any industrial machining in series.

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Grinding

Two dimensional ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding (TDUVG) is analyzed based on theoretical analysis of the cutting trace of a grain in the finished surface, and it gives the kinematical model of single grit during TDUVG, and the condition of the separate cutting is established, so two dimensional ultrasonic vibration are introduced into the system, which helps to form good machining way. Then TDUVG is applied in the ultra-precise machining of nanoZrO2 ceramics, and grinding experiments on surface quality of nanoZrO2 ceramics were carried out using diamond grinding both with and without ultrasonic vibration. Experimental results show that the surface quality after two dimensional ultrasonic assisted grinding is superior to that of diamond grinding. As a result, it is suitable for the ultra-precise machining of ceramics.

This contribution aims at the mechanism of electrochemical mechanical finishing (ECMF). The change in surface micro-profile of workpiece and its influence on anodic electrochemical dissolution (ECD) as well as the action of the mechanical role were investigated. The results show that the peak-like micro-profile of surface is in favor of improving the ability of ECD. The mechanical role not only scratches the passive film resulted from ECD, but also changes the surface micro-profile of the workpiece. The action of the mechanical role influences the final finished surface quality of the workpiece.

AbstractThe existing research on SiCp/Al composite machining mainly focuses on the machining parameters or surface morphology. However, the surface quality of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction has not been extensively studied. In this study, 32 SiCp/Al specimens with a high volume fraction were prepared and their machining parameters measured. The surface quality of the specimens was then tested and the effect of the grinding parameters on the surface quality was analyzed. The grinding quality of the composite specimens was comprehensively analyzed taking the grinding force, friction coefficient, and roughness parameters as the evaluation standards. The best grinding parameters were obtained by analyzing the surface morphology. The results show that, a higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain a better surface quality. The final surface quality is related to the friction coefficient, surface roughness, and fragmentation degree as well as the quantity and distribution of the defects. Lower feeding amount, lower grinding depth and appropriately higher spindle speed should be chosen to obtain better surface quality. Lower feeding amount, higher grinding depth and spindle speed should be chosen to balance grind efficiently and surface quality. This study proposes a systematic evaluation method, which can be used to guide the machining of SiCp/Al composites with a high volume fraction.
