Short electric arc machining (SEAM) is a non-conventional machining process that utilizes an arc to melt and vaporize workpiece material. A low voltage, high current supply is employed to produce a continuous arc in either a water-air mixed medium or in air. This paper describes an investigation into the optimization of the SEAM machining efficiency based on experimental design which considers both electrical parameters and machine parameters. The work uses the orthogonal experiment processes to research the influence of the process indicators on machining efficiency.

The conventional machining method for silicon nitride ceramics has low machining efficiency, prone to cracking, chipping and other defects. In this paper, the author carried out a study on the influence of ultrasonic vibration grinding on surface quality of silicon nitride ceramic, and carried out ultrasonic vibration grinding process test for silicon nitride ceramic and conducted the analysis of influence of this machining process on surface quality with orthogonal test. The test results showed that the influence on surface roughness decreased in the order of spindle speed, feed rate, cutting depth, and amplitude of vibration.

The surface measures of machined titanium alloys as dental materials can be enhanced by adopting a decision-making algorithm in the machining process. The surface quality is normally characterized by more than one quality parameter. Hence, it is very important to establish multi-criteria decision making to compute the optimal process factors. In the present study, Taguchi–Grey analysis-based criteria decision making has been applied to the input process factors in the wire EDM (electric discharge machining) process. The recast layer thickness, wire wear ratio and micro hardness have been chosen to evaluate the quality measures. It was found that the wire electrode selection was the most influential factor on the quality measures in the WEDM process, due to its significance in creating spark energy. The optimal arrangement of the input process parameters has been found using the proposed approach as gap voltage (70 V), discharge current (15 A) and duty factor (0.6). It was proved that the proposed method can enhance the efficacy of the process. Utilizing the computed combination of optimal process parameters in surface quality analysis has significantly contributed to improving the quality of machining surface.

A model with an inner structure was designed to study the relationship between the surface quality of the inner structure and the scan strategy in this study. The test results showed that the precision of the inner structure was highly affected by the scan strategy, and the specimens printed using different strategies showed different performances on the surface quality of the inner structure. The specimen printed using the square-framed scan strategy had a lower flatness value on the positive face of the inner structure compared to that of the other two specimens printed using Z-shape scan strategies, while the specimen printed using the Z-shape scan strategy (along the inner structure) had a relative optimal surface roughness on the side surface of the inner structure in all three specimens. The bending deformation caused by the scan strategies was considered to be the main factor affecting the flatness on the positive surface, while laser energy fluctuation showed a significant impact on side surface roughness. Combined with the experimental data, a new scan strategy was proposed; we found that the specimen printed using this new strategy improved positive surface flatness and side surface roughness.

Wood composite panels are widely used in construction and furniture industries. They are very much preferred in interior and exterior decoration, house hold products and toys, etc. because of the aesthetic appearance and their high-quality properties. In manufacturing of wood composite products various machining process are used. In final assembly of various parts of a end product, drilling is the most commonly used machining operation. The cutting forces developed during drilling process having more effect on the surface quality of the drilled holes. Hence the drilling damages like delamination must be controlled to ensure the surface quality of the final product. In controlling these forces the contribution of input drilling parameters is more. The objective of this work is to study the influence of input control parameters to obtain the optimal cutting conditions. In the present study the drilling experiments are performed using Taguchi design of experiments with Taguchi L27 orthogonal array on particleboard (PB) composite panels using high speed steel (HSS) twist drills with three different drill diameters. Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to develop a mathematical model to predict the influence of input control parameters on delamination. The adequacy of the model is checked using Analysis of variance. It is revealed that high spindle speed with low feed rate and smaller drill diameter combination gives better results.

Efficient machining of advanced Ti- and Ni-based alloys, which are typically difficult-to-machine, is a challenge that needs to be addressed by the industry. During a typical machining operation of such alloys, high cutting forces imposed by a tool on the work-piece material lead to severe deformations in the process zone, along with high stresses, strains and temperatures in the material, eventually affecting the quality of finished work-piece. Conventional machining (CT) of Ti- and Ni-based alloys is typically characterized by low depths of cuts and relatively low feed rates, thus adversely affecting the material removal rates (MRR) in the machining process. In the present work, a novel machining technique, known as Ultrasonically Assisted Turning (UAT) is shown to dramatically improve machining of these intractable alloys. The developed machining process is capable of high MRR with an improved surface quality of the turned work-piece. Average cutting forces are significantly lower in UAT when compared to those in traditional turning techniques at the same machining parameters, demonstrating the capability of vibration-assisted machining as a viable machining method for the future.

TC21 is a first high strength and damage-tolerant titanium alloy self-developed in China, which has independent intellectual property. As it is known to all, titanium alloy TC21 is one of the most widely used materials in aerospace. The improvement of cutting quality of titanium alloy is an urgent problem. In this paper, the orthogonal experiment were carried out to study surface roughness of turning TC21. The predictive model of surface roughness in turning TC21 was built by analysis of multivariable linear regression on the basis of experiment. Statistical test results indicated the established predictive model were in highly notable test status and had high reliability. These works provide references for machining TC21.

With some conductivity and low grinding affectivity, a hybrid machining process termed electrical discharge diamond grinding (EDDG) is applied to the precision machining of reaction bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) ceramic. As there is electrical spark in the hybrid machining process, the electrical parameters are varied to explore their effects on the surface quality of RB-SiC ceramic with EDDG. In this paper, the experiments of different polarity and gap voltage with EEDG were investigated, and the microstructure and surface roughness on the machined surface of RB-SiC ceramic were analyzed. The surface morphology and micro-cracks were examined with a scanning electron microscope, and the surface roughness was measured with a confocal scanning laser microscope. It is found that surface roughness initially increases and then decreases with increase of the gap voltages and is higher with negative polarity than that with positive polarity. The micromorphology Micro-cracks were observed on the surface machined and are outstanding in re-solidified zone with EDDG.
