A Modified Thermal Model of Internal Grinding

Zhou Chang, Lai Hu

Manufacturing Technology 2022, 22(5):511-518 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2022.064  

In the present study, an innovative method is proposed to improve the accuracy of thermal models of the grinding process. To this end, a set of orthogonal experiments are carried out to calculate heat flux using infrared temperature measurements. Then the convective heat transfer coefficient is modified based on the heat transfer and hydrodynamics theories. Finally, the modified heat flux and convective heat transfer coefficient are applied and a thermal model is established using ANSYS software. To verify the accuracy of the proposed model, a finite element grinding residual stress model based on the grinding heat and grinding force is established....

The diffusion boriding process allows to increase the abrasion and corrosion resistance of the majority of steel grades. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the chemical composition of the substrate of various steel grades on the microstructure of boride coatings produced using two diffusion methods: pack cementation boriding using EKABOR-2 and paste-pack boriding using EKABOR-PASTE on the substrate of tool and structural steels:. The boriding processes were carried out at 1000oC in an argon atmosphere for 4h. Scanning microstructure investigations of the obtained coatings indicate that a high content of alloying elements increasing...

The condition for the designability and efficiency of the machining processes is that the part production process is chosen to meet the operational requirements based on the most accurate technological plans possible. One part of this is the planning of the required quality and roughness of the surfaces and achievement of the required values in the finishing. In this paper, a study on the predictability of surface roughness was performed using a CAD model based on theoretical roughness and validated by cutting experiments. The reported results show the effect of the feed rate change in face milling for two tools with different edge geometries in planes...

Over the next few years, LEDs are likely to be responsible for all of the vehicle's exterior lighting func-tions. Everything is focused on maximum security. For this reason, there are more and more automatic color detection systems in the car. Proper color separation is the key to optimal operation and proper evaluation of these automatic systems. An example is the correct detection of traffic light colors. The automotive industry is dependent on consistency and predictability. Classification is an important func-tion for automated control and requires the correct color resolution of the signals captured by the camer-as. We propose to use glass containing...

The changes in the material properties of water turbine blades are characterized an undesirable process, which could lead to the end of usable life or to the emergency conditions of this turbine. For this reason, it is important to determine of any material quality changes and continuously monitor them. Considering that, these essential parameters are showing the ability of material to resist the operational stress. It is necessary to choose rapid methods of the material testing which are without preparation of the samples (it is inadmissible to the functional blades) able to immediately monitor the state of the materials by non-destructive methods....

Natural fibre-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites can be environmentally friendly and cost-effective alter-natives to synthetic fibre-reinforced composites. Major industries have expressed significant interest in the advancement of new natural fibre-reinforced composite materials. However, these materials perform poorly on their own and require further analysis since accessible information is lacking in the literature. This paper presents the results of previously reported works on natural fibre reinforced polymer composites, with strong attention to the types of fibres employed, the polymers used in the matrix, the treatment of fibres as well as...

Production of primary aluminium is energetically enormously expensive. The use of secondary (recycled) aluminium, has therefore a high potential to save money and energy while reducing the negative environmental impact of aluminium production. Although the properties of secondary aluminium alloys are generally comparable to those of primary aluminium alloys, the increased Fe content can lead to a significant reduction in the corrosion resistance of these alloys. Secondary (recycled) AlSi7Mg0.3 cast alloy with different iron contents (0.123, 0.454, 0.679 and 1.209 wt. %) in the as-cast and after heat treatment (T6) condition was investigated. The quantitative...

Titanium aluminides were prepared using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) from powder aluminium and compact Ti-6Al-4V alloy at 800 °C. The resulting material was subsequently annealed at the same temperature for 3 hours. The coating was successfully bonded to the matrix using SHS while forming intermetallic phases of cubic TiAl3 in areas of powdered aluminium. The resulting coating was approximately 14 μm thick. Material annealing resulted in further reactions between the TiAl3 coating and Ti-6Al-4V matrix, forming a thin layer of γ-TiAl. Using SEM, the different phase composition of annealed and unannealed material was clearly...

This article deals with the influence of the mold material on the segregation process in selected Al-Si alloys. Three types of Al-Si alloys were chosen in order to compare the segregation process while congealing. AlSi7Mg0.3, AlSi7Cu4 and AlSi10.5Cu1.2Mn0.8Ni1.2Pb0.5 alloys were cast by gravity casting in a metal and sand molds. Macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the internal structure of each of the alloys was also studied. The chemical composition within the lower, middle and upper parts of the casts were observe by using scanning electron microscope. All samples were subjected to the Vickers microhardness measurement of a solid solution of...

Perspectives of the Low Force Friction Welding Process

Paweł Żurawski

Manufacturing Technology 2022, 22(5):633-643 | DOI: 10.21062/mft.2022.067  

The conventional solid-state friction welding process involves imparting a movement to one of them, bringing them closer together so that there is friction from the clamping force. By overcoming the frictional resistance on the surface of the workpieces, work converted into heat is generated. The obtained heat heats the elements to a temperature close to the melting point but not exceeding it. After stopping the movement in relation to each other, the process of pressing the elements with the force P with a greater force causes plasticization of the material and the formation of a flash. In low pressure friction welding, most of the heat required for...
