The milling experiments were conducted carried out which Ti-6Al-4V alloys with different amount of hydrogen permeating were processed, in order to explore various problem in the machining process of hydrogenated titanium alloy. The main cutting force, microhardness and residual stress before and after milling were measured. The experiments result show that Ti-6Al-4V alloy with appropriate amount of hydrogen can effectively reduce the cutting force, improve the surface hardness and reduce the surface residual stress.

In order to solve the poor cutting performance for the titanium alloy and the serious residual tensile stress distribution on the machined surface in cutting titanium alloy, the utilization of prestressed cutting method is proposed to actively control the residual stress distribution status on the machined surface in machining process. Titanium alloy ring parts were pre-stretched at different condition by a lathe-specific pretension device respectively. By the cutting experimental, the cutting force ,chip formation and surface integrity indexes are compared and studied. The results show that in suitable compressive residual stress on machined surface are achieved by utilizing the prestressed cutting method ,meanwhile procedures of residual stress adjustment after machining could be omitted. Furthermore, the magnitude of compressive residual stress could be actively controlled by adjusting the magnitude of prestressed force in certain extent. And uniform saw-tooth chip are generated in prestressed cutting, meanwhile there’s no significant increment of cutting force. Prestressed cutting method could generate good surface integrity.

Abstract In order to study the influence of rotational speed and amplitude on the surface integrity, TC18 titanium alloy samples were milled by the process of conventional milling and longitudinal ultrasonic vibration assisted milling. The experimental data were obtained by dynamometer, thermometer, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and three-dimensional surface topography instrument for observation and analysis. The results show that the rotational speed has a significant effect on the cutting force, cutting temperature, surface morphology and surface residual stress. Compared with ordinary milling, the surface micro-texture produced by ultrasonic vibration milling is more regular, , and with the increase of rotational speed, the influence of ultrasonic vibration on cutting force and cutting temperature decrease. There are adverse effects on surface roughness after ultrasonic vibration superposition. The influence of ultrasonic vibration on the surface residual compressive stress is also greatly reduced when the rotational speed is greater than 2400 rpm. In addition, a certain depth of plastic deformation layer can be formed under the surface of ultrasonic vibration machining, and the depth of deformation layer increases with the increase of vibration.

It is well known that there is a lager deviation in the fatigue life of machined components even under nominally identical loading conditions. Understanding and controlling fatigue life variance are essential to enhance reliability. However, few research focus on the impact of machining processes on the fatigue life variance of machined components. In this study, surface residual stress distributions of bearing rings randomly selected from a production line by super-finishing grinding, are measured by X-ray diffraction method in cutting and feed direction, and its scatter is analyzed by statistical tools. Based on the variance prediction theories, build a simplified fatigue life variance prediction model incorporating the resultant residual stresses scatter induced by machining process. Based on the Basquin equation, the model is validated by experimental data published in literature. The predicted fatigue life agrees well with the experimental average fatigue life. Statistical analysis shows that the predicted variances of fatigue life are equal to those estimated from experimental fatigue life.

Laser shock processing (LSP, also known as Laser shock peening) is applied by using a high energy pulsed laser to create a high amplitude stress wave or shock wave on the surface to be treated. LSP is proved to be superior to conventional treatments such as shot peening in many engineering products. This paper focuses on Laser shock processing and its effects on mechanical properties of material AISI 8620 alloys steel. Experiment results indicated that compared with base material, the surface hardness increased by 13.8%, and compressive residual stress increased by 521%. Statistical method was introduced to analyze hardness and residual stress change before and after the LSP.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) presents a modern manufacturing process with an innovative technology which allows the production of full-density objects or fine-structured parts with complex geometry and inner structures. Stability and certification of the properties of SLM parts are important tasks for all producers and end-users. One of the drawbacks of this technology is high residual stress in as-made SLM objects. In this study X-ray diffraction technique was used for investigating the residual stress induced into SLM Ti6Al4V alloy samples. Principal stresses were estimated for the cut rectangular specimen. Two types of the cantilevers were produced and numerical simulation of the stress was performed. The bending of cut cantilevers was measured before and after heat treatment. Next series of the samples had rectangular shapes and different thicknesses from 1 to 46 layers. All as-manufactured specimens attached to the substrate showed the presence of tensile residual stresses near the top surface. Residual stress along the laser scanning direction had magnitudes twice that of the stress in the perpendicular direction. Conclusions regarding directions and values of stresses in SLM objects from Ti6Al4V powder are given.

Investigation of the effect of surface residual stress on the endurance limit of 6Al 4V titanium alloy shows that this effect is equal within experimental error to the residual stress divided by a constant. Results can be expressed by a simple equation. A value for the constant has been derived.

In order to study the application of laser cladding and laser shock processing (LSP) combinatorial treatment technology, the laser cladding samples of TC4 titanium alloy was shocked by pulse laser, then the surface residual stress, the fatigue life were compared with those without LSP in this paper. High cycle tension-compression fatigue tests were carried out in laser cladding titanium alloy before and after LSP treated. The results indicate that LSP treatment can improve the high cycle fatigue endurance limit of laser cladding titanium alloy effectively. The nano-crystal grained surface layer with residual compressive stress makes great contributions to the improvement in fatigue properties of titanium alloy.

With the development of Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and Nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), dimension of their parts is required to nanometer scale, and the characteristics of machined-surface of nano-scale parts affect strongly its application. Surface relaxation plays an important role to the characteristics of the machined-surface. In this paper, machined-surface of monocrystal copper used as the specimen of surface relaxation, and its surface relaxation process is simulated. The influences of surface relaxation on surface energy, atom array, surface roughness, surfaces hardness and surface residual stress of the monocrystal copper are analyzed. Results show that surface energy and surface hardness decrease due to relaxation; work-hardening can’t be completely eliminated by the relaxation; compression residual stress of the machined surface is changed gradually to tensile stress during the relaxation. These research results are very helpful to the application of nano-machined parts.

The confined laser shock peening (LSP) is an innovative surface treatment technique designed to improve the fatigue performance of materials by imparting compressive residual stresses into materials. A 3D finite element model was developed to predict the surface residual stress and plastically affected depth of the TC11 titanium alloy after LSP. The modeling procedure consists of two successive explicit analysis steps. The performance of finite element model was verified by comparing simulated results with the experimental data. With the validated finite element model, the influence of the process parameters (LSP path, thickness of the sample, number of impacts) was investigated on the surface residual stress and plastically affected depth of the TC11 titanium alloy after LSP. Some simulated results can be used to mentor the optimization of the process parameters of LSP.
