Every community is helping in the pandemic situation. All communities, like material scientists, medical practitioners, engineers, and healthcare professionals, are collaborating with each other to fight against the pandemic situation. Therefore, manufacturing engineers also play a role in COVID-19. There are a number of medical devices or protection equipment that can be developed by additive manufacturing (AM) to fulfill the shortage of supply. In the present research, an attempt has been made to review the different medical components developed by AM processes. The government’s regulations for different components (development and testing) are also discussed. The challenges associated with the products developed by AM processes are explained. The safety of the developed products is the prime responsibility of manufacturing engineers. This will definitely give the engineers direction to fight against the pandemic situation.","PeriodicalId":129806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromanufacturing","volume":"11 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140432330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study investigated the effects of indentation depth on the cyclic load versus the indentation depth of the HEA. The results showed that the cyclic response exhibits a pronounced shift towards plasticity with pile-up formation instead of sinking behavior at higher indentation depths. Within the realm of molecular dynamics simulations, the simulated hardness value reached up to 16 GPa for the initial indentation cycle. A steep drop in the load–displacement curve was observed during the elastic–plastic transition, signifying substantial strain softening of the substrate. It was found that the densely clustered stacking faults undergo a reverse transition during cyclic loading, contributing to the backpropagation phase responsible for elastic recovery despite subsequent strain hardening. The study provides important insights into the underlying mechanisms governing the cyclic mechanical behavior of HEAs to guide their improved micromanufacturing.","PeriodicalId":129806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromanufacturing","volume":"29 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140437268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent pandemic is neither the first nor the last; hence, it is a big challenge for a surface engineer to combat the transmission of microbes and viruses through the contact route. In this topical review, we have comprehensively summarized the possible techniques of surface modification for making surfaces antiviral and the respective antiviral mechanisms. Will the anti-biofouling, superhydrophobic, structured surfaces be enough to roll down viruses with water droplets? If so, there could be critical dimensions of nanostructures that need to be fabricated using a precise micro-nano manufacturing method, and the same has been discussed in this review. The surface structuring using functional nanomaterials (copper and copper alloy, gold nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, zinc dioxide, etc.) against different types of viruses and viruses belonging to the coronavirus family has been compared in detail with their merits and demerits. Finally, we foresee that among these surface modification techniques, the nanospike structures combined with an antiviral coating could be the most effective way to combat the transmission of viruses (e.g., COVID-19) through the contact route.","PeriodicalId":129806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromanufacturing","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140439448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to explore the mechanism underlying side burr formation during nano-polishing of mono-crystalline silicon (Si)-wafer. The study utilizes a diamond nano-abrasive grit to scratch the surface of the Si-wafer and investigates the formation of pile-ups during the steady-state process. It was observed that increasing the depth of cut by four times led to a 6.3-fold increase in the number of amorphous atoms, indicating greater bond breakage in the direction of scratching. As a result, the cutting force exceeds the thrust force at larger depths of the cut. The correlation between the side burr height and the depth of cut is also studied. Results show that the side burr height ratio increases with the depth of cut, indicating a higher sensitivity of side burr height to the depth of cut. The study suggests that to achieve a ductile mode of material removal and minimize the height of the side burr during nano-polishing of Si-wafers, it is crucial to maintain the depth of cut at or below half (≤0.5) of the abrasive radius and ensure an average friction coefficient below 0.6.

Rapid prototyping (RP) has significantly reduced the product development cycle time and RP techniques are now replacing many conventional plastic processing techniques where production volume is not an issue. In order to ascertain the utility of additive manufacturing techniques for the development of fully functional parts, it’s important to establish the optimal set of process parameters for achieving maximum mechanical performance. In the current experimental investigation, the dogbone-shaped parts of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were fabricated by the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The process parameters were optimized for dogbone-shaped specimens fabricated by the FDM process. Among the parameters, it has been found that orientation and infill density are the most dominant factors affecting the tensile strength of FDM parts printed with ABS material.","PeriodicalId":129806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromanufacturing","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139861645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
