However, conventional one-step ECP methods hinder further removal of near-surface defects, such as inherent adhesive powders and step effects, owing to the simultaneous dissolution and smoothing processes. Additionally, the topological conformity between the formed high-resistance oxide layer and the metal matrix limits the polishing effectiveness, producing undesirable surface inconsistency and poor dimensional accuracy. In this study, we introduce a pre-dissolution step prior to the conventional ECP process, namely pre-dissolution ECP. This approach is based on the electrochemical dissolution behavior of adhesive powders and the melt pool (MP) structure to transform the irregular, rough as-built surface into a pre-dissolved MP morphology with a uniform current density distribution, aiming to optimize the subsequent ECP process. By combining <em>in situ</em> X-ray synchrotron radiation observation with comparative quantitative analysis of samples before and after mechanical polishing, precise dissolution parameters were determined to achieve a polished surface with uniformly distributed height differences. For AMed Al alloys with high Si content, when the percentage change rate of dissolved areas of the cross-sectional profile in the pre-dissolution step is 0.060 ± 0.003 %/min, different adhesive powder regions exhibit consistent height differences on the pre-dissolved surface. During the subsequent polishing step, compared to direct ECP (∼5.3 μm), the isotropic etching-based smoothing effect in NaOH solution further reduces surface roughness of the pre-dissolved surface to ∼1.5 μm, and the corresponding standard deviation of height difference is reduced by 80.7 %. Moreover, the use of low voltage and the one-time removal of surface cluster layers ensures improved roundness tolerance (85.7 %) and capillary action (304.4 %) for AMed heat pipes with internal channels (Φ1.4 mm) after polishing. This pre-dissolution strategy mitigates the complexity and randomness of as-built surface features, facilitating better ECP performance. It can also be integrated with advanced ECP technologies, thereby expanding the application potential of AMed structures, including but not limited to internal channels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 104297"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) can handle such materials, its contact-based nature often causes thermal damage. Additionally, the challenge of initiating electrochemical discharges on the insulating workpiece, rather than on the tool electrode, remains unresolved. This study presents a new mechanism for directly inducing electrochemical discharges on insulating surfaces through the controlled interplay of electro- and hydrodynamic fields. For the first time, we demonstrate damage-free machining of insulating materials using an electrolyte jet, in a new process termed jet-electrochemical discharge machining (Jet-ECDM). This is achieved by generating electrochemical discharges at the jet-impingement zone on the insulating workpiece surface, with the gas evolved at the nozzle electrode acting as a dielectric. The spatiotemporal dynamics of discharges, including location, frequency, and intensity, are analyzed and shown to critically influence machining results. High-speed imaging visualizes the gas bubble behaviors, while simulation reveals how discharges are focused onto a localized machining area through concentrated electric fields and gas distribution. Key process parameters, including voltage, working gap, and electrolyte flow rate, are identified for effective process control. Thermocouple measurements show a discharge-induced average temperature rise of ∼160 °C at the machining site. Unlike conventional ECDM, Jet-ECDM's non-contact approach avoids thermal damage, enabling stress-free, purely chemical material removal. This is validated by machining microfeatures in quartz glass, achieving superior surface finishes (∼Ra 50 nm) and a damage-free subsurface. This research extends the material applicability of EJM to insulating materials and introduces a novel method for stress-free machining of glass and ceramics using electrochemical discharges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Machine Tools & Manufacture","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 104293"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144137626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, achieving crack-free SX superalloys during L-DED is crucial for advancing the application of this technology in SX turbine blade repair. Based on solidification shrinkage and solid-bridging theory, this study systematically investigated the formation mechanisms of hot cracks in a multi-pass multi-layer DD6 SX prepared by L-DED through microstructure characterisation and coupled thermal-mechanical simulations. The results demonstrate that the initiation and propagation of hot cracks are governed by the overlapping characteristics at the inter-pass and interlayer regions, which influence the formation of liquid films and localisation of the stress-strain concentration. Furthermore, the results revealed that the formation of stray grains and hot cracking mutually amplified each other. To address these challenges, a novel strategy for hot crack suppression is to optimise the dwell time at the inter-pass and interlayer regions to regulate the dendrite growth and elemental segregation. Consequently, a three-pass five-layer Ni-based single-crystal sample with a width of 2–3 mm was successfully prepared, which was free of cracks. Moreover, the hot crack suppression method was applied to single-pass thin-wall deposition, achieving a single-crystal structure with height exceeding 10 mm and a proportion of over 95 %.

This study, for the first time, elucidates the fundamental mechanism underlying these defects, identifying spontaneous bubble nucleation and subsequent explosions within the melt pool as the root cause. In metal droplet-based AM (MDBM), experiments demonstrate that larger bubbles destabilize droplets and disrupt deposition trajectories due to intensified energy release, ultimately degrading print quality. To address this issue, a bubble nucleation and growth model, independent of specific Mg alloy AM methods, was developed. Based on this model, a novel strategy was proposed to mitigate Mg evaporation-induced defects. By identifying a critical bubble nucleation temperature, it was established that operating below this threshold completely suppresses bubble nucleation, thereby preventing associated defects. For conditions exceeding this temperature, the bubble growth model enables precise regulation of bubble size through process parameter optimization, effectively minimizing defects and enhancing structural integrity. As a result, the fabricated structures exhibit high dimensional precision and superior mechanical performance, characterized by pore-free microstructures, minimal dimensional deviation, and enhanced mechanical properties.

The UIT process optimization is achieved through a systematic investigation of the effect of output powers on surface roughness, porosity, deformation microstructure, microhardness distribution, residual stress profile, and tensile behavior.
